Exodus 14
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Awo Mukama n’alagira Musa nti,
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.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bawetemu nga boolekera Pikakirosi, bakube eweema zaabwe okumpi ne Pikakirosi, wakati wa Migudooli n’ennyanja. Musiisire ku lubalama lw’ennyanja nga mwolekedde 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.
Falaawo abaana ba Isirayiri ajja kuboogerako nti, ‘Babulubuutira mu nsi yaffe, n’eddungu libazingizza.’
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.
Nzija kukakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo, alyoke abawondere. Naye ndyefunira ekitiibwa okuva ku bye ndikola Falaawo n’eggye lye lyonna; n’Abamisiri balitegeera nga nze Mukama.” Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola bwe batyo.
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?
Kabaka w’e Misiri bwe yategeera ng’Abayisirayiri baddukidde ddala, Falaawo n’abakungu be ne bejjusa, ne bagamba nti, “Kiki kino kye tukoze, okuleka Abayisirayiri ababadde batukolera ne bagenda?”
6 So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
Bw’atyo n’ateekateeka eggaali lye erisikibwa embalaasi, n’eggye ly’anaagenda nalyo.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
Yatwala amagaali lukaaga agasingira ddala obulungi, n’agattako n’amagaali amalala gonna agaali mu Misiri, n’abalwanyi abaduumizi nga be bagavuga.
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.
Mukama n’akakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo Kabaka w’e Misiri, n’agoberera abaana ba Isirayiri. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakwata olugendo lwabwe nga tebaliiko gwe batya.
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.
Abamisiri ne babawondera: embalaasi zonna, n’amagaali gonna aga Falaawo agasikibwa embalaasi, n’abeebagadde embalaasi, n’eggye lye, ne babasanga nga basiisidde ku lubalama lw’ennyanja okumpi ne Pikakirosi, nga boolekedde 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.
Falaawo bwe yasembera, abaana ba Isirayiri ne balengera Abamisiri nga babagoberera, ne batya nnyo. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne balaajaanira Mukama.
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?
Ne bagamba Musa nti, “Mu Misiri entaana tezaaliyo, kyewava otuleeta tufiire wano mu ddungu? Lwaki watuggya mu Misiri n’ojja otuyisa bw’oti?
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?
Bwe twali mu Misiri tetwakugamba nti, ‘Tuveeko, tuleke tukolere Abamisiri?’ Kubanga okukolera Abamisiri kyandibadde waddeko okusinga okufiira mu ddungu.”
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 n’addamu abantu nti, “Temutya, munywere, mujja kulaba obulokozi Mukama bw’anaabaleetera olwa leero. Kubanga Abamisiri abo be mulaba kaakano, temuliddayo nate kubalaba emirembe gyonna.
14 Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
Mukama ajja kubalwanirira. Mmwe musirike busirisi.”
15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Lwaki okaabirira nze? Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri bakwate olugendo lwabwe.
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;
Wanika omuggo gwo, ogolole n’omukono gwo ku nnyanja, amazzi ogaawulemu, abaana ba Isirayiri bayite wakati mu nnyanja kyokka nga batambulira ku ttaka kkalu.
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,
Nange nzija kukakanyaza emitima gy’Abamisiri, bayingirire ennyanja nga babagoberera. Ndyoke nefunire ekitiibwa okusinziira ku bye nnaakola Falaawo, n’amaggye ge, n’amagaali ge, n’abeebagadde embalaasi.
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.
Abamisiri nabo banaategeera nga nze Mukama, nga nefunidde ekitiibwa: okusinziira ku bye nnaakola Falaawo n’amagaali ge, n’abasajja be abeebagadde embalaasi.”
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;
Awo malayika wa Katonda eyali akulembera abaana ba Isirayiri n’akyuka n’abadda emabega; n’empagi ey’ekire ne yejjulula okuva mu maaso gaabwe, n’eyimirira emabega waabwe:
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.
Bw’etyo n’ebeera wakati w’abaana ba Isirayiri n’eggye ly’Abamisiri. Ekiro, ekire ne kireeta ekizikiza ku ludda lw’Abamisiri, naye ne kireeta omuliro okumulisa oludda lw’Abayisirayiri; ekiro kyonna ne wataba ggye lisemberera linnaalyo.
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.
Awo Musa n’agolola omukono gwe ku nnyanja; Mukama n’asindika ku nnyanja embuyaga ez’amaanyi ezaava ebuvanjuba, ne zigobawo amazzi ekiro kyonna, ne lufuuka lukalu, ng’amazzi gayawuddwamu.
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.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bayita wakati mu nnyanja nga batambulira ku ttaka ekkalu, ng’amazzi gakoze ekisenge ku ludda lwabwe olwa ddyo n’olwa kkono.
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.
Abamisiri ne babawondera ne bayingira wakati mu nnyanja n’amagaali ga Falaawo gonna, n’embalaasi ze, n’abasajja be abeebagadde embalaasi.
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;
Awo mu makya ennyo nga tebunnalaba, Mukama n’atunuulira eggye ly’Abamisiri ng’ali mu mpagi ey’ekire n’omuliro, n’atandika okulibonyaabonya.
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.
Amagaali gaabwe yagamaamulako zinnamuziga, ne gabakaluubirira okuvuga. Abamisiri n’okugamba ne bagamba nti, “Leka Abayisirayiri tubadduke! Kubanga Mukama alwanyisa Misiri ng’abalwanirira.”
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.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Golola omukono gwo ku nnyanja, amazzi gakomewo gaggweere ku Bamisiri, ne ku magaali gaabwe, ne ku basajja baabwe abeebagadde embalaasi.”
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;
Bw’atyo Musa n’agololera ennyanja omukono gwe, obudde bwe bwakya n’ekomawo n’amaanyi, Abamisiri ne bagidduka nga balaba ejja; Mukama, Abamisiri n’abasaanyaawo wakati mu nnyanja.
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.
Amazzi ne gakomawo ne gasaanikira amagaali n’abeebagadde embalaasi, n’eggye lya Falaawo lyonna eryali ligoberedde Abayisirayiri mu nnyanja. Tewaali n’omu ku bo eyawona.
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.
Naye abaana ba Isirayiri bo nga batambulira ku ttaka kkalu wakati mu nnyanja, amazzi nga gakoze ekisenge ku ludda lwabwe olwa ddyo ne ku lwa kkono.
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.
Bwe kityo ku lunaku olwo Abayisirayiri Mukama n’abawonya Abamisiri. Abayisirayiri ne balaba Abamisiri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja nga bafudde.
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.
Abayisirayiri ne balaba obuyinza obunene ennyo Mukama bwe yalaga ng’akola ku Bamisiri: abantu ne batya Mukama, ne bakkiriza Mukama n’omuweereza we Musa.
