Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God, and said, "I will sing to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Mose kple Israelviwo dzi kafukafuha sia na Yehowa be, “Madzi ha na Yehowa, elabena wodo eya amea ɖe dzi bobobo. Etsɔ sɔ kple sɔdola siaa de atsiaƒu la me.
2 YAH is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
“Yehowae nye nye ŋusẽ kple xɔnametɔ, eya gbɔ ɖeɖe tso va nam. Eyae nye nye Mawu, eya ta makafui. Eyae nye fofonye ƒe Mawu, eya ta madoe ɖe dzi.
3 YHWH is a warrior. YHWH is his name.
Yehowa nye aʋawɔla, Ɛ̃, eŋkɔe nye Yehowa.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he hurled into the sea. His elite officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
Ede Farao ƒe tasiaɖamwo kple aʋakɔwo ƒu, eye wònyrɔ wo ɖe atsiaƒu la me. Farao ƒe aʋakplɔla xɔŋkɔwo nyrɔ ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la me.
5 The depths covered them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Atsiaƒutsi la tsyɔ wo dzi. Wodze to ɖe atsiaƒu la te abe kpe ene.
6 Your right hand, YHWH, is glorious in power. Your right hand, YHWH, shattered the enemy.
O, Yehowa, wò nuɖusibɔ wɔ kalẽ. O, Yehowa, wò nuɖusibɔ kaka futɔwo hlẽ.
7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those who rise up against you. You sent forth your wrath. It consumed them like stubble.
“Le wò fianyenye ƒe gãnyenye me, ètsɔ ame siwo tsi tsitre ɖe ŋuwò la ƒu anyi. Èɖe asi le wò dziku bibi la ŋu, eye wòfia wo abe gbe ƒuƒu ene.
8 With the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood upright like a wall. The depths solidified in the heart of the sea.
Wò ŋɔtimegbɔgbɔ do, eye wòna tsiawo ƒu kpo. Tsi sisi la nɔ te, eye wòlé akpa aveawo ɖe te abe gli ene, eye tsi goglo la zi ɖoɖoe le atsiaƒu la titina.
9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
Futɔ la gblɔ dadatɔe be, ‘Mati wo yome, matu wo, mama woƒe afunyinuwo. Mana nye didi ɖe wo ŋuti nava eme. Maɖe nye yi tso aku me, eye nye asi atsrɔ̃ wo.’
10 You blew with your breath. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Ke wò la, ègbɔ wò gbɔgbɔ, eye ƒu la ŋe tsyɔ wo dzi. Wodze to abe asabukpe ene ɖe tsi gã la te.
11 Who is like you, YHWH, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders?
“O, Yehowa, ame kae le abe wò ene le mawuwo dome? Ame kae le abe wò ene le kɔkɔenyenye kɔkɔtɔ me, le ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ŋɔdzi me, eye wòwɔa nukudɔwo?
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Èdo wò nuɖusi ɖa, eye anyigba mi wo.
13 "In your loving kindness you will lead the people that you have redeemed. You will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling.
“Àkplɔ ame siwo nèɖe la le wò lɔlɔ̃ mavɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ me. Le wò ŋusẽ me, àkplɔ wo ayi wò nɔƒe kɔkɔe lae.
14 When the peoples hear, they will tremble. Anguish will grip the inhabitants of Philistia.
Dukɔwo ase nya si dzɔ, woadzo nyanyanya; vɔvɔ̃ aɖo Filistitɔwo.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified. Trembling will seize the leaders of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.
Ŋɔdzi alé Edom fiawo, eye Moab ƒe kplɔlawo anɔ dzodzom nyanyanya, Kanaantɔwo hã ƒe dzi alolõ.
16 Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, until your people pass over, YHWH, until the people pass over whom you have purchased.
Ŋɔdzi kple vɔvɔ̃ adze wo dzi. Woatrɔ azu kpe, le wò abɔ ƒe ŋusẽ ta, va se ɖe esime wò amewo atso eme ava ayi. O, Yehowa, va se ɖe esime wò ame siwo nèƒle la, atso eme ava yi.
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, YHWH, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, YHWH, which your hands have established.
Wò la, àkplɔ wo aɖo wo te le wò to si nye wò domenyinu la dzi. O, Yehowa, teƒe si nèwɔ be wòanye wò nɔƒe la, Aƒetɔ, Kɔkɔeƒe si nètsɔ wò ŋutɔ wò asiwo wɔe la.
18 YHWH shall reign forever and ever."
“Yehowa aɖu fia tegbetegbe!”
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHWH brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Farao ƒe sɔwo, eƒe sɔdolawo kple woƒe tasiaɖamwo kplɔ wo ɖo to atsiaƒu la me. Ke Yehowa na tsigliawo mu gbagbã tsyɔ wo dzi, le esime Israelviwo zɔ ƒuƒuiƒe to wo me.
20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
Nyagblɔɖila Miriam, Aron nɔvinyɔnu ƒo axatsɛ, eye wònɔ ŋgɔ na nyɔnuawo woɖu ɣe.
21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."
Eye Miriam dzi ha sia: “Midzi ha na Yehowa, elabena eɖu dzi ŋusẽtɔe. Ede sɔ kple sɔdola atsiaƒu la me.”
22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Azɔ la, Mose kplɔ Israelviwo to Ƒu Dzĩ la nu, eye woyi Sur gbedzi. Wonɔ afi ma ŋkeke etɔ̃, ke womekpɔ tsi woano o.
23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Esi wova ɖo Mara la, womete ŋu no tsi le afi ma o, elabena tsi la le vevem. (Esia ta woyɔa teƒe ma be Mara.)
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
Israelviwo lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le Mose ŋu. Wobiae be, “Ɖe míaku le tsikɔwuame taa?”
25 Then he cried to YHWH. YHWH showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;
Mose ɖe kuku na Yehowa be wòakpe ɖe yewo ŋu. Yehowa fia ati aɖee wòtsɔ da ɖe tsi la me, eye tsi veve la trɔ zu tsi nyui. Le Mara la, Yehowa de se siawo na wo be yeado woƒe ɖokuitsɔtsɔ na ye akpɔ.
26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of YHWH your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am YHWH who heals you.
“Ne miaɖo to Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe gbe, miawɔ nu si dza le eƒe ŋkume, eye miawɔ eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi la, ekema nyemana dɔléle siwo mena wova Egiptetɔwo dzi la nava mia dzi o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, nyee daa gbe le mia ŋu.”
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they camped there by the waters.
Wova ɖo Elim, afi si vudo wuieve kple deti blaadre le. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi sia ɖe vudoawo to.
