Exodus 14
1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
2 Speak to [the] people of Israel so they may turn back and they may encamp before Pi-hahiroth between Migdol and between the sea before Baal-Zephon opposite it you will encamp at the sea.
“Waambie Waisraeli wageuke na kueka kambi mbele ya Pi Hahirothi, katikati ya Migdoli na bahari, mbele ya Baali Zefoni. Wapaswa kueka kambi pembenni ya Pi Hahirothi.
3 And he will say Pharaoh of [the] people of Israel [are] wandering in confusion they in the land it has shut on them the wilderness.
Farao atasema kuhusu Waisraeli, 'Wanaangaika kwenye nchi. Nyikani imewafunika.'
4 And I will make strong [the] heart of Pharaoh and he will pursue after them and I will gain honor by Pharaoh and by all army his and they will know Egypt that I [am] Yahweh and they did so.
Nitaufanya moyo wa Farao mgumu, na yeye ata wakimbiza. Nitapata utukufu kwasababu ya Farao na jeshi lake lote. Wamisri watajua mimi ni Yahweh.” Kisha Waisraeli wakaeka kambi kama walivyo elekezwa.
5 And it was told to [the] king of Egypt that it had fled the people and it was changed [the] heart of Pharaoh and servants his to the people and they said what? this have we done that we have let go Israel from serving us.
Mfalme wa Misri alipo ambiwa Waisraeli wametoroka, nia ya Farao na watumishi wake ikageuka dhidi ya watu. Wakasema, “Tumefanya nini kwa kuwaacha Waisraeli waende huru na wasitutumikie?”
6 And he harnessed chariot his and people his he took with him.
Kisha Farao akachukuwa magari yake ya farasi na jeshi lake.
7 And he took six hundred chariot[s] chosen and all [the] chariotry of Egypt and officers [were] over all of it.
Alichukuwa magari ya farasi mia sita imara na magari yote ya farasi ya Misri, pamoja na maafisa wa hayo magari.
8 And he made strong Yahweh [the] heart of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he pursued after [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Israel [were] going out with a hand raised.
Yahweh akafanya mgumu moyo wa Farao, mfalme wa Misri, na mfalme akawafukuzia Waisraeli. Sasa Waisraeli waliondoka kwa shangwe.
9 And they pursued Egypt after them and they overtook them encamped at the sea every horse of [the] chariotry of Pharaoh and horsemen his and army his at Pi-hahiroth before Baal-Zephon.
Lakini Wamisri wali wafukuzia, pamoja na farasi na magari ya farasi, wapanda farasi, na jeshi lake. Walikuta Waisraeli wameeka kambi pembezoni mwa bahari kati ya Pi Hahirothi na Baali Zefoni.
10 And Pharaoh he drew near and they lifted up [the] people of Israel eyes their and there! Egypt - [was] marching after them and they were afraid exceedingly and they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh.
Farao alipo karibia, Waisraeli walitaza juu na kushangaa. Wamisri walikuwa wakija kwao, na waliogopa. Waisraeli walimlilia Yahweh.
11 And they said to Moses ¿ because not there not [were] graves in Egypt you brought us to die in the wilderness what? this have you done to us by bringing out us from Egypt.
Walimwambia Musa, “Ni kwasababu hakukuwa na makaburi Misri, hadi umetuleta tufe huku nyikani? Kwanini umetutendea hivi, kwa kututoa Misri?
12 ¿ Not [is] this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt saying cease from us so let us serve Egypt for [is] better for us serving Egypt than to die us in the wilderness.
Hili si ndilo tulilo kwambia Misri? Tulikwambia, 'Utuache, ili tuwafanyie Wamisri kazi.' Ingekuwa bora kwetu sisi kuwafanyia kazi kuliko kufa nyikani.”
13 And he said Moses to the people may not you be afraid stand firm and see [the] deliverance of Yahweh which he will bring about for you this day for which you have seen Egypt this day not you will repeat to see them again until perpetuity.
Musa akawaambia watu, “Msiogope. Simameni imara na muone wokovu Yahweh atakao uleta kwenu leo. Kwa maana hamtawaona tena Wamisri mnao waona leo.
14 Yahweh he will fight for you and you you will keep quiet!
Yahweh ata wapigania, na ninyi mtasima imara.”
15 And he said Yahweh to Moses why? are you crying out to me speak to [the] people of Israel so they may set out.
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Kwanini wewe, Musa, unaendelea kuniita mimi? Waambie Waisraeli waendelee mbele.
16 And you raise staff your and stretch out hand your over the sea and divide it so they may go [the] people of Israel in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground.
Nyanyua gongo lako juu, nyoosha mkono wako kuelekea baharini na uigawanye sehemu mbili, ili watu wa Israeli wapite baharini kwenye nchi kavu.
17 And I here I [am] about to make strong [the] heart of Egypt so they may go after them and I will gain honor by Pharaoh and by all army his by chariot[s] his and by horsemen his.
Jitahadharishe kuwa nitafanya mioyo ya Wamisri kuwa migumu ili wawafuate. Nitapata utukufu kwasababu ya Farao na jeshi lake lote, magari yake ya farasi, na wapanda farasi.
18 And they will know Egypt that I [am] Yahweh when gain honor I by Pharaoh by chariot[s] his and by horsemen his.
Kisha Wamisri watajua kuwa mimi ni Yahweh nitakapo pata utukufu kwasababu ya Farao, magari yake ya farasi, na wapanda farasi wake.”
19 And he set out [the] angel of God who had been going before [the] camp of Israel and he went behind them and it set out [the] pillar of cloud from before them and it stood behind them.
Malaika wa Mungu, aliyeenda mbele ya Waisraeli, aliama na kwenda nyuma yao. Nguzo ya wingu ili sogea mbele yao na kwenda kusimama nyumba yao.
20 And it went between - [the] camp of Egypt and between [the] camp of Israel and it was the cloud and the darkness and it lit up the night and not it drew near this to this all the night.
Wingu lilikuja katikati ya kambi ya Misri na kambi ya Israeli. Lilikuwa wingu jeusi kwa Wamisri, lakini liliangaza usiku kwa ajili ya Waisraeli, hivyo upande mmoja haukuweza kuja karibu ya mwingine usiku wote.
21 And he stretched out Moses hand his over the sea and he drove Yahweh - the sea by a wind an east wind strong all the night and he made the sea into dry ground and they were divided the waters.
Musa akanyoosha mkono wake kuelekea bahari. Yahweh akasogeza bahari nyuma kwa upepo mkali wa mashariki usiku huo wote na kufanya bahari nchi kavu. Kwa namna hii maji yaligawanyika.
22 And they went [the] people of Israel in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground and the water for them [was] a wall from right their and from left their.
Waisraeli walienda katikati ya bahari kwa nchi kavu. Maji yaliunda ukuta mkono wao wa kulia na mkono wao wa kushoto.
23 And they pursued Egypt and they went after them every horse of Pharaoh chariotry his and horsemen his into [the] middle of the sea.
Wamisri waka wafukuzia. Wali wafuata hadi katikati ya bahari - farasi wote wa Farao, magari ya farasi, na wapanda farasi.
24 And it was in [the] watch of the morning and he looked down Yahweh to [the] camp of Egypt in a pillar of fire and cloud and he confused [the] camp of Egypt.
Lakini masaa ya mapema ya asubui, Yahweh alitazama chini jeshi la Wamisri kupitia nguzo ya moto na wingu. Alisababisha hofu miongoni mwa Wamisri.
25 And he turned aside [the] wheel[s] of chariots its and he caused to drive it with difficulty and it said Egypt let me flee from before Israel for Yahweh [is] fighting for them (against Egypt. *LB(ha)*)
Magari yao ya farasi yalikuwa yana kwama matairi, na wapanda farasi waliendesha kwa ugumu. Hivyo Wamisri walisema, “Acha tuwakimbie Waisraeli, kwa kuwa Yahweh anawapigania dhidi yetu.”
26 And he said Yahweh to Moses stretch out hand your over the sea so they may return the waters over Egypt over chariot[s] its and over horsemen its.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Nyoosha mkono kuelekea bahari ili maji yawarudie Wamisri, magari yao ya farasi, na wapanda farasi wao.”
27 And he stretched out Moses hand his over the sea and it returned the sea to [the] turning of morning to normal [state] its and Egypt [were] fleeing to meet it and he shook off Yahweh Egypt in [the] middle of the sea.
Hivyo Musa akanyoosha mkono wake kuelekea bahari, na ikarudi kwenye hali yake ya kawaida palipo pambazuka. Wamisri walikimbilia ndani ya bahari, na Yahweh akawaingiza Wamisri katikati ndani yake.
28 And they returned the waters and they covered the chariot[s] and the horsemen to all [the] army of Pharaoh which had gone after them in the sea not it remained among them up to one.
Maji yakarudi na kufunika magari ya farasi ya Farao, wapanda farasi, na jeshi lake lote lililo fuata magari ya farasi kwenye bahari. Hakuna aliyepona.
29 And [the] people of Israel they walked on the dry ground in [the] middle of the sea and the water for them [was] a wall from right their (and from left their *LB(ah)*)
Walakini, Waisraeli walitembea kwenye nchi kavu katikati ya bahari. Maji yalikuwa ukuta kwao mkono wa kulia na mkono wa kushoto.
30 and he delivered Yahweh on the day that Israel from [the] hand of Egypt and it saw Israel Egypt dead on [the] shore of the sea.
Hivyo Yahweh akaokoa Israeli hiyo siku kutoka mkono wa Wamisri, na Israeli ikaona maiti za Wamisri ufukweni.
31 And it saw Israel the hand great which he had used Yahweh on Egypt and they feared the people Yahweh and they believed in Yahweh and in Moses servant his.
Israeli ilipoona nguvu kubwa Yahweh aliyo itumia dhidi ya Wamisri, watu walimsifu Yahweh, na kumwamini Yahweh na mtumishi wake Musa.
