Exodus 14
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis,
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.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha chigharịa azụ jee maa ụlọ ikwu ha na ncherita ihu Pi Hahirot, nke dị nʼetiti Migdol na osimiri. Ọ bụ nʼakụkụ osimiri, na ncherita ihu obodo Baal-Zefọn ka ha ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ha.
3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
Fero ga-asị banyere ụmụ Izrel, ‘Ha na-awagharị gburugburu ala ahụ nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya ebe ọzara riri ha.’
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.
Aga m eme ka obi Fero sie ike ka ọ chụso unu ọsọ nʼazụ, ma m ga-ewetara onwe m otuto site na Fero na ndị agha ya niile. Ndị Ijipt niile ga-ama na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.” Ndị Izrel mekwara otu ahụ.
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?
Mgbe a gwara eze Ijipt na ndị a agbaala ọsọ, obi Fero na ndị ozi ya gbanwere megide ndị Izrel. Ha sịrị, “Gịnị bụ ihe anyị mere, site na izipụ ndị Izrel nʼọrụ ife anyị?”
6 So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
Na-atụfughị oge, Fero rigoro nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya, duru ndị agha ya ịchụso ha.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
Ọ chịịrị ụgbọ agha dị narị isii e leziri anya họpụta, tinyere ụgbọ agha Ijipt niile. Ndịisi agha ndị Ijipt nọcha nʼelu ha niile.
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.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero eze Ijipt sie ike. Ọ chụsoro ụmụ Izrel, ndị na-aga nʼihu nʼije ha, na-atụghị egwu maọbụ ịda mba.
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.
Ndị Ijipt chụsoro ha ọsọ, ịnyịnya Fero na ụgbọ agha, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya na ndị agha ndị ọzọ chụsoro ndị Izrel ọsọ chụkwute ha nʼebe ha na-ezu ike nʼakụkụ osimiri dị nso na Pi Hahirot na ncherita ihu Baal-Zefọn.
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.
Mgbe ndị agha Fero na-abịa nso, ndị Izrel lere anya nʼazụ, hụ ndị Ijipt ka ha na-abịa nso. Ha tụrụ egwu, tie mkpu akwa, kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị.
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?
Ha jụrụ Mosis sị, “Ọ bụ na o nweghị ili dị nʼala Ijipt, i ji kwagide anyị ka anyị niile bịa nwụọ nʼebe a nʼọzara? Gịnị mere i ji kwagide anyị ka anyị hapụ Ijipt?
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?
Ọ bụ na anyị agwaghị gị nʼala Ijipt si gị, ‘Hapụ anyị ka anyị nọgide na-ejere ndị Ijipt ozi?’ Ọ gara akara anyị mma ị bụ ohu ndị Ijipt karịa ịnwụ nʼọzara.”
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.
Mosis zaghachiri ha sị, “Unu atụla egwu. Guzosienụ ike. Unu ga-ahụ ụzọ dị ebube Onyenwe anyị ga-esi zọpụta unu taa. Ndị Ijipt a unu na-ahụ taa, unu agaghị ahụkwa ha ọzọ.
14 Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
Nọrọnụ jii. Onyenwe anyị ga-alụrụ unu ọgụ.”
15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji na-akpọku m. Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha gaa nʼihu.
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;
Welie mkpanaka gị elu. Setịpụ ya nʼelu osimiri ahụ ka o kewaa abụọ. Ụzọ ga-adịkwa nʼetiti osimiri ahụ. Ụmụ Izrel ga-esitekwa nʼala akọrọ gafee.
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,
Aga m eme ka obi ndị Ijipt sie ike, ka ha sorokwa unu nʼazụ banye. Aga m ewetara onwe m otuto site na Fero, na ndị agha niile, na ụgbọ agha niile nakwa ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya.
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.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị Ijipt ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. M ga-enweta nsọpụrụ site na Fero, na ụgbọ agha ya niile, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya.”
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;
Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi Chineke, onye na-aga nʼihu ndị agha Izrel, sitere nʼihu pụọ gaa nọdụ nʼazụ ha. Otu a kwa, ogidi igwe ojii ahụ sitere nʼihu gaa nʼazụ ha.
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.
Nke a mere ka ogidi igwe ojii ahụ dịrị nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel na ndị Ijipt. Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ogidi igwe ojii ahụ nye ụmụ Izrel ìhè, ma ndị Ijipt nọgidere nʼọchịchịrị. Otu a, ndị Ijipt enweghị ike bịarute nʼebe ụmụ Izrel nọ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis setịpụrụ aka ya nʼelu Osimiri Uhie ahụ. Onyenwe anyị ji oke ifufe si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, nke fere nʼabalị ahụ niile, nughachi osimiri ahụ, mee ka osimiri ahụ kebie ụzọ abụọ, ka ụzọ pụta nʼala osimiri ahụ.
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.
Ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼetiti osimiri ahụ gafee. Mmiri osimiri ahụ ghọọrọ mgbidi nʼaka nri ha ma nʼaka ekpe ha.
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.
Mgbe ndị agha Ijipt na-achụ ha ọsọ hụrụ ha ka ha na-agafe, ha sogidere ha baa, ọ bụladị nʼetiti osimiri ahụ. Ndị agha Ijipt niile sooro ha, ya bụ, ụgbọ agha Fero, ndị agha ya na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya niile.
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;
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Onyenwe anyị ledatara anya site nʼogidi igwe ojii ahụ na-enye ihe. O legidere ndị agha Ijipt anya, tinyekwa ha ụjọ nʼobi nke mere na ha amakwaghị onwe ha.
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.
O mebiri ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ha mee ka o siere ịnyịnya ha ike ịdọkpụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, ndị Ijipt kwuru sị, “Ka anyị sinụ nʼịchụ ndị Izrel gbapụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-alụrụ ha ọgụ, na-emegidekwa anyị.”
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.
Mgbe ụmụ Izrel gafesịrị ruo nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Setịpụ aka gị ọzọ ka mmiri ahụ kpuchigide ndị Ijipt, na ụgbọ agha ha niile, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya.”
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;
Mosis setịpụrụ aka nʼelu osimiri ahụ. Nʼụtụtụ ya, mmiri osimiri ahụ sọghachiri gaa ebe ọ nọ na mbụ. Ndị Ijipt chọsịrị ụzọ ha si agbapụ ike, ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka osimiri ahụ kpuchie ha.
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.
Osimiri ahụ kpuchigidere ụgbọ agha ha niile, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya, na ndị agha Fero niile ndị chụụrụ ụmụ Izrel baa nʼime osimiri ahụ. O nweghị otu onye nʼime ha fọdụrụ ndụ.
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.
Ma ụmụ Izrel esitelarị nʼala nke mmiri kọrọ gafee osimiri ahụ. Mgbe ha na-agafekwa, akụkụ abụọ nke osimiri ahụ guzoro ọtọ dịka mgbidi, nʼaka nri ha ma nʼaka ekpe ha.
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.
Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, Onyenwe anyị zọpụtara ụmụ Izrel site nʼaka ndị Ijipt. Ụmụ Izrel hụkwara ozu ndị Ijipt nʼikpere mmiri osimiri ahụ.
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.
Ụmụ Izrel tụrụ egwu Onyenwe anyị mgbe ha hụrụ ihe ịrịbama ndị a Onyenwe anyị ji zọpụta ha site nʼaka ndị Ijipt. Ha kwenyere na Onyenwe anyị, kwenyekwa na Mosis ohu ya.
