Exodus 14
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
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.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔmman mfa Pihahirot a ɛwɔ Migdol ne po no ntam a ɛne Baal-Sefon di nhwɛanim no. Sɛ wodu hɔ a, wonsi wɔn ntamadan wɔ mpoano hɔ.
3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, Farao besusuw sɛ, ‘Saa Israelfo no aka sare no ne po no ntam.’
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 mɛsan apirim Farao koma bio ama wataa mo. Mayɛ saa nhyehyɛe yi, sɛnea ɛbɛma manya anuonyam ne nidi wɔ Farao ne nʼasraafo mu na ama Misraimfo no nso ahu sɛ, mene Awurade no.” Enti wosii ntamadan wɔ faako a wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn hɔ no.
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?
Nnansa akyi a Misraimhene no tee sɛ Israelfo no abɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔrensan mma Misraim bio na mmom kɔ ara na wɔrekɔ no, Farao ne ne dɔm koma sɔree bio. Wobisae se, “Dɛn na yɛayɛ yi? Yɛama Israelfo no kwan ma wɔkɔ ama yɛahwere wɔn som!”
6 So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
Enti Farao faa ne teaseɛnam dii nʼasraafo no anim taa wɔn.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
Ɔmaa Misraim apɔnkɔsotefo dɔm a wɔn dodow yɛ ahansia ne apɔnkɔ foforo bi a asraafo tete wɔn so ka wɔn.
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.
Farao taa Israelfo no, efisɛ na wɔde Misraimfo agyapade bebree kɔ.
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.
Farao de nʼapɔnkɔdɔm nyinaa taa Israelfo no bɛtoo wɔn sɛ wɔasisi wɔn ntamadan wɔ Pihahirot mpoano wɔ Baal-Sefon anim.
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.
Bere a Farao asraafo no rebɛn no, Israelfo no huu wɔn sɛ wɔde mmirika reba enti wɔn koma tui, na wosu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn.
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?
Ɛmaa wɔn ani beree Mose so bisaa no se, “Wode yɛn aba sare yi so sɛ yemmewuwu wɔ ha, efisɛ nna nni Misraim a sɛ yewuwu a wobesie yɛn wɔ mu ana? Adɛn nti na woma yetu fii Misraim?
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?
Bere a yɛwɔ nkoasom mu no, yɛanka ankyerɛ wo se ma yɛmpɛ yɛn baabi ntena? Yɛkae se yɛpɛ sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ nkoasom ase wɔ Misraim sen sɛ yebewu agu sare so ha.”
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.
Nanso Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Munnsuro. Munnyina pintinn na mubehu anwonwakwan a Awurade nam so begye mo nnɛ. Misraimfo a muhu wɔn nnɛ yi, morenhu wɔn bio.
14 Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
Awurade bɛko ama mo; montɛm dinn kɛkɛ!”
15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Adɛn nti na wusu frɛ me? Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no na wɔnkɔ wɔn anim.
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;
Fa wo pema no. Fa kyerɛ nsu no so na po no mu bɛpae ama ɔkwan ada mu ma Israelfo no afa asase wosee so.
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,
Mepirim Misraimfo no koma ama wɔataa mo na di a medi Farao ne ne dɔm so no bɛma moahu mʼanuonyam.
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.
Na Misraimfo nyinaa behu sɛ, mene Awurade.”
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;
Onyankopɔn bɔfo a odi Israelfo anim no twee ne ho bedii Israelfo no akyi. Na omununkum dum no nso bedii Israelfo no akyi.
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.
Ebetwaa Israelfo no ne Misraimfo no ntam. Na anadwo no, ɛdan ogya maa sum tɔɔ Misraimfo no so maa ne hann no kyerɛɛ Israelfo no kwan. Enti Misraimfo no anhu Israelfo no akyi kwan.
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.
Mose teɛɛ ne nsa wɔ po no so, na anadwo no nyinaa Awurade de apuei mframa dennen maa po no san nʼakyi maa asase no yɛɛ wosee.
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.
Enti Israelfo no faa po kwan a mu wosee no so. Na nsu no yɛɛ afasu wɔ benkum ne nifa maa wɔn.
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.
Misraimfo no nso ne Farao apɔnkɔ, nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no tiw wɔn koduu po no mfimfini.
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;
Na anɔpahema no, Awurade de ogya ne omununkum dum no too Misraimdɔm no so maa wɔn ho yeraw wɔn.
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.
Wɔn nteaseɛnam no nan tutui, enti na wontumi nkɔ bio. Enti Misraimfo no kae se, “Momma yenguan mfi Israelfo anim, efisɛ Awurade reko ama wɔn na yɛn de, ɔreko atia yɛn.”
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.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa wɔ po no so, na nsu no nsan mmra Misraimfo ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no so.”
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;
Mose yɛɛ saa, na ade kyee anɔpa no, po no san nʼakyi bɛsen sɛnea na ɛte. Misraimfo no pɛɛ sɛ woguan, nanso Awurade maa nsu no faa wɔn.
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.
Nsu no kataa kwan no ne nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no nyinaa so. Farao asraafo dodow a wɔfaa po no mu taa Israelfo no nso, anka ɔbaako koraa.
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.
Israelfo no nantew faa asase wosee a nsu yɛ ɔfasu wɔ benkum ne nifa no so.
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.
Saa da no Awurade gyee Israelfo fii Misraimfo nsam. Na Israelfo no huu Misraimfo no sɛ wɔawuwu deda mpoano.
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.
Bere a Israelfo huu tumi a Awurade ada no adi de atia Misraimfo no, wosuroo Awurade, na wogyee Awurade ne nʼakoa Mose dii.
