Exodus 14
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, —before Baal-zephon, over against it, shall ye encamp, by the sea.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli macooke na thuutha, na mambe hema gũkuhĩ na Pi-Hahirothu, gatagatĩ ka Migidoli na iria. Nĩmambe hema hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, kũngʼethanĩra na Baali-Zefoni.
3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
Firaũni nĩageciiria atĩrĩ, ‘andũ a Isiraeli marĩ na kĩrigiicano no kũũrũũra marorũũra bũrũri-inĩ, mahingĩrĩirio nĩ werũ.’
4 So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. And they did so.
Na nĩngomia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake nĩakamaingatithia. No niĩ mwene nĩngegĩĩra na riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita, nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ũguo merĩtwo.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, —and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said—What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri eerirwo atĩ andũ acio nĩmorĩte-rĩ, Firaũni na anene ake makĩĩricũkwo ũhoro ũcio, magĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Tweka atĩa? Twarekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ na ithuĩ tuorĩrwo nĩ ũtungata wao?”
6 So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga ngaari yake ya ita ĩhaarĩrio, na agĩthiĩ na mbũtũ yake ya ita.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
Agĩthiĩ na ngaari cia ita 600 iria njega mũno, o hamwe na ngaari cia ita iria ingĩ ciothe cia bũrũri wa Misiri, ciothe irũgamĩrĩirwo nĩ anene.
8 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt wax bold, and he pursued the sons of Israel, —when the sons of Israel, were going out with a high hand.
Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩrũmĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli na ihenya arĩa moimagarĩte makinyũkĩtie na ũcamba.
9 So the Egyptians pursued them and overtook them, encamping by the sea—all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his forces, —by Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Andũ a Misiri, hamwe na mbarathi ciothe cia Firaũni na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, na thigari, makĩrũmĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli na ihenya makĩmakinyĩra harĩa maambĩte hema rũteere-inĩ rwa iria, hakuhĩ na Pi-Hahirothu kũngʼethera Baali-Zefoni.
10 Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
Firaũni akuhĩrĩria-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩhũgũra, makĩona andũ a Misiri mamoimĩte thuutha makĩmaka mũno, magĩkaĩra Jehova.
11 Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt?
Makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mbĩrĩra gũtaarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩguo ũtũrehe tũkuĩre gũkũ werũ-inĩ? Nĩ atĩa ũũ ũtwĩkĩte ũgatũruta bũrũri wa Misiri?
12 Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, —for it is better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert?
Githĩ tũtiakwĩrire tũrĩ o bũrũri wa Misiri atĩ ũtigane na ithuĩ, ũreke tũtungatĩre andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri? Kũngĩarĩ wega tũtungatĩre andũ a Misiri kũrĩ gũkuĩra werũ-inĩ!”
13 And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you to-day, —for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.
Musa agĩcookeria andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Mwĩhaandei wega, na nĩmũkuona ũhonokio ũrĩa Jehova ekũmũrehere ũmũthĩ. Andũ a Misiri aya mũrona ũmũthĩ, mũtikamona rĩngĩ.
14 Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
Jehova nĩekũmũrũĩrĩra, mũbatie o gũikara mũhooreire.”
15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũrangaĩra nĩkĩ? Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ na mbere.
16 and, thou, lift high thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and cleave it asunder, —that the sons of Israel may enter into the midst of the sea on dry ground;
Oya rũthanju rwaku, na ũtambũrũkie guoko igũrũ wa iria ũgayanie maaĩ nĩgeetha andũ a Isiraeli matuĩkanĩrie iria-inĩ, mathiĩrĩire thĩ nyũmũ.
17 and, I, behold me letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them, —that I may get me honour over Pharaoh and over his forces, over his chariots, and over his horsemen,
Nĩngũũmia ngoro cia andũ a Misiri nĩgeetha o nao mamarũmĩrĩre. Na nĩngegĩĩra riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni na mbũtũ yake ya ita, o na nĩ ũndũ wa ngaari ciake cia ita, o na andũ ake arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.
18 And the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, —when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his horsemen.
Nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova hĩndĩ ĩyo ngegĩĩra riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni, na ngaari ciake cia ita na andũ ake arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.”
19 And the messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, —and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũraika wa Ngai ũrĩa wathiiaga atongoretie mbũtũ ya thigari cia Isiraeli, akĩehera agĩcooka thuutha wao. Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu nakĩo gĩkiuma hau mbere, gĩkĩrũgama thuutha wao,
20 so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night, —so that the one came not near unto the other, all the night.
gĩkĩgĩa gatagatĩ ga thigari cia Misiri na cia Isiraeli. Ũtukũ wothe itu rĩu rĩgĩĩkĩra nduma mwena ũmwe, na ũtheri mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ andũ makuhĩrĩirie arĩa angĩ ũtukũ wothe.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, —and the waters were cloven asunder.
Ningĩ Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko igũrũ wa iria, na ũtukũ wothe Jehova agĩtindĩka iria na thuutha na ũndũ wa rũhuho rwa kuuma mwena wa irathĩro, na agĩtũma hau hatuĩke thĩ nyũmũ. Maaĩ macio makĩgayũkana,
22 Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, —and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩringa iria mahĩtũkĩire thĩ nyũmũ, maaĩ marũgamĩte mwena wao wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen, —into the midst of the sea.
Nao andũ a Misiri makĩmarũmĩrĩra na ihenya, nacio mbarathi ciothe cia Firaũni na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi makĩmarũmĩrĩra nginya iria-inĩ.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused the camp of the Egyptians;
Rũciinĩ ruoro rũgĩtema-rĩ, Jehova agĩcũthĩrĩria mbũtũ ya ita ya andũ a Misiri arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ kĩa mwaki na gĩa itu, nake akĩmĩrigiica.
25 and he took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily, —so that the Egyptians said—We must flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh, is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
Agĩtũma magũrũ ma ngaari ciao cia ita macomoke nĩgeetha makorwo na thĩĩna wa gũcitwarithia. Nao andũ a Misiri makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũũrei twehere harĩ andũ aya a Isiraeli! Jehova nĩwe ũramarũĩrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Misiri.”
26 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, —that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko igũrũ wa iria nĩgeetha maaĩ macooke mahubanĩrie andũ a Misiri na ngaari ciao cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.”
27 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it, —thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians into the midst of the sea;
Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ wa iria, na gũgĩkĩa-rĩ, iria rĩgĩcooka gũtherera o ta mbere. Nao andũ a Misiri makĩgeria kũrĩũrĩra, no Jehova akĩmahubanĩria iria-inĩ thĩinĩ.
28 thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, —there was not left remaining among them so much as one.
Maaĩ magĩcookana, magĩthika ngaari cia ita na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi; nĩo mbũtũ yothe ya Firaũni ĩrĩa yarũmĩrĩire andũ a Isiraeli iria-inĩ. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao wahonokire.
29 But the sons of Israel, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea, —and the waters had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
No andũ a Isiraeli maaringire iria magereire njĩra nyũmũ, rũthingo rwa maaĩ rũrũgamĩte mwena wao wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
30 Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, —and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea.
Mũthenya ũcio Jehova akĩhonokia Isiraeli kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ a Misiri, nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩonera ciimba cia andũ a Misiri kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
31 And when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh, —and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.
Na rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli moonire hinya mũnene ũrĩa Jehova onirie andũ a Misiri-rĩ, andũ acio magĩĩtigĩra Jehova na makĩmwĩhoka o na makĩĩhoka Musa ndungata yake.
