< Exodus 14 >
1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
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.
“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 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.
Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, Farao besusuw sɛ, ‘Saa Israelfo no aka sare no ne po no ntam.’
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.
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 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.
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 And he harnessed chariot his and people his he took with him.
Enti Farao faa ne teaseɛnam dii nʼasraafo no anim taa wɔn.
7 And he took six hundred chariot[s] chosen and all [the] chariotry of Egypt and officers [were] over all of it.
Ɔmaa Misraim apɔnkɔsotefo dɔm a wɔn dodow yɛ ahansia ne apɔnkɔ foforo bi a asraafo tete wɔn so ka wɔn.
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.
Farao taa Israelfo no, efisɛ na wɔde Misraimfo agyapade bebree kɔ.
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.
Farao de nʼapɔnkɔdɔm nyinaa taa Israelfo no bɛtoo wɔn sɛ wɔasisi wɔn ntamadan wɔ Pihahirot mpoano wɔ Baal-Sefon anim.
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.
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 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.
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 ¿ 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.
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 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.
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 he will fight for you and you you will keep quiet!
Awurade bɛko ama mo; montɛm dinn kɛkɛ!”
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.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Adɛn nti na wusu frɛ me? Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no na wɔnkɔ wɔn anim.
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.
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 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.
Mepirim Misraimfo no koma ama wɔataa mo na di a medi Farao ne ne dɔm so no bɛma moahu mʼanuonyam.
18 And they will know Egypt that I [am] Yahweh when gain honor I by Pharaoh by chariot[s] his and by horsemen his.
Na Misraimfo nyinaa behu sɛ, mene Awurade.”
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.
Onyankopɔn bɔfo a odi Israelfo anim no twee ne ho bedii Israelfo no akyi. Na omununkum dum no nso bedii Israelfo no akyi.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Enti Israelfo no faa po kwan a mu wosee no so. Na nsu no yɛɛ afasu wɔ benkum ne nifa maa wɔn.
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.
Misraimfo no nso ne Farao apɔnkɔ, nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no tiw wɔn koduu po no mfimfini.
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.
Na anɔpahema no, Awurade de ogya ne omununkum dum no too Misraimdɔm no so maa wɔn ho yeraw wɔn.
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)*)
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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)*)
Israelfo no nantew faa asase wosee a nsu yɛ ɔfasu wɔ benkum ne nifa no so.
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.
Saa da no Awurade gyee Israelfo fii Misraimfo nsam. Na Israelfo no huu Misraimfo no sɛ wɔawuwu deda mpoano.
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.
Bere a Israelfo huu tumi a Awurade ada no adi de atia Misraimfo no, wosuroo Awurade, na wogyee Awurade ne nʼakoa Mose dii.
