Exodus 14
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya;
2 “Tell the Israeli people to turn around and go back and set up their tents in front of Pi-Hahiroth [town]. That town is between Migdol and the sea, across from Baal-Zephon [town]. Set up your tents there, close to the sea.
“Nyis jo-Israel oduogi mondo gibuor machiegni gi Pi Hahiroth mantie e kind Migdol gi nam. Gibiro bworo machiegni gi nam, mochomore gi Baal Zefon.
3 When the king [knows you have done that], he will think, ‘The Israeli people are confused. They are wandering around, and the desert blocks their path.’
Farao biro paro kowacho ni, ‘Jo-Israel digni e piny korwenyo e thim.’
4 But I will make the king stubborn [again], and he will [take his army and] pursue you. Then my people will praise/thank me for winning a victory over the king and his army. And the Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” So [Moses/I told my people that, and] they did what he/I told them to do.
Abiro miyo chuny Farao bedo mapek, mi owuogi kolawo jo-Israel. To abiro yudo duongʼ ne an awuon kuom Farao kaachiel gi jolwenje duto, eka jo-Misri nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye.” Eka jo-Israel notimo kamano.
5 When someone told the king that the Israeli people had left [during the night], he and his officials changed their minds and said, “(What have we done?/What we have done was stupid!) [RHQ] The Israeli people will no longer be our slaves!”
Kane onyis ruodh Misri ni jogo osedhi, Farao gi jodonge noloko pachgi kuom jo-Israel mi giwacho niya, “Angʼo ma wasetimoni? Waseweyo jo-Israel odhi kendo tije ma yande gitiyonwa orumo!”
6 So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
Eka ne oikne geche mar jolweny, bangʼe nokawo jolweny mage.
7 Then he selected 600 of the best chariots, and in each chariot he placed a driver, a soldier, and a commander, and they left. Other chariots, with a driver and a soldier in each of them, also went along.
Nokawo geche mia auchiel mabeyo mag lweny, kod geche mamoko mag jo-Misri ka moro ka moro nigi jatend lweny.
8 Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo chuny Farao ma ruodh Misri odoko matek, mi nolawo jo-Israel mane wuotho ka gin gi chir.
9 the Egyptian army, with all the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen, pursued the Israelis. They caught up with them as they were camped near the sea, close to Pi-Hahiroth, in front of Baal-Zephon [town].
Jo-Misri kod farese Farao gi gechegi, gi joidh farese kod jolweny nolawo jo-Israel mi gijukogi ka gibworo e bath nam machiegni gi Pi Hahiroth mochomore gi Baal Zefon.
10 When the king’s army got near, the Israeli people were surprised to see that the Egyptians were marching toward them. They were terrified; so they cried out to Yahweh [to help them].
Kane Farao ochopo machiegni kodgi, jo-Israel notingʼo wangʼ-gi mi gineno ka jo-Misri lawogi. Luoro nomakogi mi giywakne Jehova Nyasaye.
11 Then they said to Moses/me, “Is it because there were no places in Egypt [where we could] be buried that you have brought us here to die in this desert [RHQ]? Look what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt [RHQ]!
Negiwacho ni Musa niya, “Ne onge kuonde yiko mane inyalo yikwae e piny Misri momiyo ikelowa e thim ka mondo wathoe? En angʼo ma isetimonwani kuom golowa e piny Misri?
12 That is what we told you when we were in Egypt! We said, ‘Leave us alone, and let us work for the Egyptians [RHQ]!’ It would have been better for us to be slaves for the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!”
Donge ne wanyisi e piny Misri ni, ‘Wewa, mondo watine jo-Misri?’ Dine bernwa tiyo ni jo-Misri moloyo tho e thim!”
13 Moses/I replied to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be brave, and see how Yahweh will rescue you! He will save you today, and the result will be that the Egyptians that you are looking at today—you will never see them again!
Musa nodwoko ogandano niya, “Kik ubed maluor. Chungʼuru motegno eka ubiro neno resruok ma Jehova Nyasaye biro kelonu kawuono. Jo-Misri ma uneno kawuononi ok unuchak une kendo.
14 Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
Jehova Nyasaye biro kedonu; owinjore ubed gi kwe.”
15 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the people to stop crying out for me [to help them], and tell them to go forward. Lift up your stick and stretch it out toward the sea. The water will divide, so that all you Israeli people can go in the middle of the sea, walking on dry ground.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Angʼo momiyo uywakna? Nyis jo-Israel mondo odhi nyime giwuoth.
Tingʼ ludhi malo kendo irie badi ewi nam mondo ipog pige eka jo-Israel ongʼad nam kawuotho e lowo motwo.
17 I will make the Egyptians stubborn, so that they will try to follow you. And then as a result of [what I will do to the] king and his army and his chariots and his horsemen, [my people] will praise/thank me.
Abiro keto chuny jo-Misri doko matek mondo gilaw bangʼ-gi nyaka ei nam. Kendo abiro yudo duongʼ kuom Farao kaachiel gi jolweny gi geche lwenje kod joidh faresene.
18 And when I have won a glorious [victory] over the king and his chariots and his horsemen, the [other] Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Jo-Misri biro ngʼeyo ni an Jehova Nyasaye ka ayudo duongʼ kuom Farao gi gechene kod joidh faresene.”
19 Then the angel of God, who had been in front of the Israeli people, moved and went behind them. The tall bright cloud that had been in front of them also moved behind them,
Eka Malaika mar Nyasaye, mane osebedo kotelo e nyim jolwenj jo-Israel, nodok chien bangʼ jo-Israel. Bor polo bende ne osudo machiegni e nyim jo-Israel mi odok ka ngʼegi,
20 until it was between the Egyptian army and the Israeli people. The cloud caused the Egyptian army to be in the dark but it gave light for the Israelis. As a result, neither group could come near the other group during the whole night.
ka ochungʼ e kind jolwenj jo-Misri kod jo-Israel. Otienono duto bor polono nokelo mudho ne konchiel to komachielo nokelo ler; omiyo onge oganda mane osudo machiegni gi machielo otienono duto.
21 [That evening], Moses/I stretched out his/my hand toward the sea. Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the east. It blew all night and pushed the water apart, and it caused the ground between the water to dry up.
Eka Musa norieyo bade ewi nam, kendo otienono duto Jehova Nyasaye notugo yamo ma aa yo wuok chiengʼ mopogo pi nyadiriyo mi kanyo olokore lowo motwo. Pige nopogore,
22 Then we Israeli people went on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The water was like a wall on each side of us, on the right side and on the left side.
kendo jo-Israel nongʼado nam kawuotho e lowo motwo, ka pi ogingore e bathgi korachwich gi koracham.
23 Then the Egyptian army pursued them, and went after them into the middle of the sea, with their horses and their chariots and the chariot-drivers.
Jo-Misri nolawogi kendo farese Farao duto gi gechene kaachiel gi joidh gechene nolawogi nyaka ei nam.
24 Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
Kane piny dwaro yawore Jehova Nyasaye nonenogi gie ligek mach, mine omiyo jolwenj jo-Misri odigni.
25 He caused the wheels of the chariots to get stuck [in the mud], so that they could hardly move. So the Egyptians said, “Yahweh is fighting for the Israelis and against us; let’s get out of here!”
Nomiyo tiende gechegi owuok mine ok ginyal riembogi. Eka jo-Misri nowacho niya, “Waringuru waa kuom jo-Israel! Jehova Nyasaye ema kedonegi kod jo-Misri.”
26 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Stretch out your arm toward the sea again. Then the water will come back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Rie badi e nam mondo pi oum jo-Misri gi gechegi kod joidh faresegi.”
27 So Moses/I stretched out his/my arm, and as the sun was rising, the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape, but Yahweh hurled them back into the sea.
Musa norieyo bade e nam kendo ka piny ne oyawore, to nonwangʼo ka pi osedok e wangʼe. Jo-Misri ne ringo kochomo dier nam, kendo Jehova Nyasaye noywerogi gi pi nyaka ei namno.
28 The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and the whole Egyptian army that had tried to follow us Israelis into the sea. Every one of the Egyptians drowned.
Pi nogingore kadok kare kendo noimo geche gi joidh farese gi jolweny Farao duto mane olawo jo-Israel nyaka e nam. Onge kata achiel kuomgi mane otony.
29 But we Israeli people had already crossed through the sea by walking on dry ground, with the water being [like two] walls, one on the right side and one on the left side.
Jo-Israel to nongʼado nam kawuotho e lowo motwo, ka pi ogingore e bathgi korachwich gi koracham.
30 That is the way Yahweh saved the Israeli people from the Egyptian army on that day. The Israeli people saw the Egyptians lying dead, [with their bodies washed up] on the shore.
Chiengʼno Jehova Nyasaye noreso Israel e lwet jo-Misri, kendo Israel noneno ka jo-Misri otho e dho nam.
31 The Israelis saw what Yahweh did to the Egyptians by his great power [MTY], and they were in awe of Yahweh. They trusted in Yahweh and they also trusted Moses/me.
Bangʼ ka jo-Israel noseneno teko maduongʼ mane Jehova Nyasaye onyiso kokedo gi jo-Misri, oganda noluoro Jehova Nyasaye kendo negiketo genogi kuome kaachiel gi kuom Musa jatichne.
