Exodus 14
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
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.
“Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kí wọn padà sẹ́yìn, kí wọ́n sì pàgọ́ sí tòsí Pi-Hahirotu láàrín Migdoli òun Òkun, kí wọn kí ó pàgọ́ sí ẹ̀bá Òkun, ní òdìkejì Baali-Ṣefoni.
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 yóò ronú pé àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń ráre káàkiri ní ìdààmú ni àti wí pé aginjù náà ti sé wọn mọ́.
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.
Èmi yóò sé ọkàn Farao le ti yóò fi lépa wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò gba ògo fún ará mi láti ìpàṣẹ Farao àti ogun rẹ̀, àti pé àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa.” Àwọn Israẹli sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
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!”
Nígbà tí wọ́n sọ fún ọba Ejibiti pé àwọn ènìyàn náà ti sálọ, ọkàn Farao àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ yí padà sí àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Kí ni ohun tí àwa ṣe yìí? Àwa ti jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kí ó lọ, a sì ti pàdánù ìsìnrú wọn.”
6 So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
Ó sì di kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin rẹ̀, ó sì kó àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀,
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.
ó mú ẹgbẹ̀ta ọmọ-ogun oníkẹ̀kẹ́ tí ó jáfáfá jùlọ àti gbogbo ọmọ-ogun oníkẹ̀kẹ́ mìíràn ní Ejibiti, olórí sì wà fún olúkúlùkù wọn.
8 Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
Olúwa sé ọkàn Farao ọba Ejibiti le, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí lépa àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti ń jáde lọ ní àìbẹ̀rù.
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].
Àwọn ará Ejibiti ń lépa wọn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹṣin kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun Farao àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ̀, wọ́n sì lé wọn bá ni ibi tí wọ́n pa àgọ́ sí lẹ́bàá òkun ní ìhà Pi-Hahirotu, ni òdìkejì Baali-Ṣefoni.
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].
Bí Farao ti súnmọ́ tòsí ọ̀dọ̀ wọn, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbé ojú wọn sókè, wọn sì rí àwọn ará Ejibiti tó súnmọ́ wọn. Ẹ̀rù ńlá sì bá àwọn ará Israẹli, wọ́n kígbe sókè sí Olúwa.
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]!
Wọ́n sọ fún Mose pé, “Ṣe nítorí pé kò sí ibojì ni Ejibiti ní ìwọ ṣe mú wa wá láti kú sínú aginjù? Kí ni èyí tí ìwọ ṣe sí wa ti ìwọ fi mú wa jáde láti Ejibiti wá?
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!”
Ǹjẹ́ èyí kọ́ ni àwa sọ fún ọ ni Ejibiti, ‘Fi wá sílẹ̀, jẹ́ kí àwa máa sin ará Ejibiti’? Nítorí kò bá sàn fún wa kí a sin àwọn ará Ejibiti ju kí a kú sínú aginjù yìí lọ!”
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!
Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ má bẹ̀rù, ẹ dúró ṣinṣin kí ẹ sì rí ìdáǹdè tí Olúwa yóò fi fún un yín lónìí, àwọn ará Ejibiti ti ẹ̀yin rí lónìí ni ẹ kò ni tún padà rí wọn mọ́.
14 Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
Olúwa yóò jà fún un yín; kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sá à mu sùúrù.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń ké pè mí? Sọ fún àwọn ará Israẹli kí wọn máa tẹ̀síwájú.
Ṣùgbọ́n, gbé ọ̀pá rẹ̀ sókè, kí o sì na ọwọ́ rẹ sí orí omi Òkun, kí ó lè pín ní yà kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lè la òkun kọjá ni orí ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò sé ọkàn àwọn ará Ejibiti le, wọn yóò sì máa lépa wọn; Èmi yóò gba ògo fún ara mi lórí Farao; lórí gbogbo ogun rẹ̀, lórí kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti lórí àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ̀.
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].”
Àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa nígbà ti èmi bá gba ògo fún ara mi lórí Farao: lórí kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ àti lórí àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ̀.”
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,
Nígbà náà ni angẹli Ọlọ́run tó ti ń ṣáájú ogun Israẹli lọ, padà o sì rìn ni ẹ̀yìn wọn; Òpó ìkùùkuu tí ń rìn ni iwájú wọn sì padà sí í rìn ni ẹ̀yìn wọn.
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.
Ó sì wà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ejibiti àti Israẹli. Ìkùùkuu sì ṣú òkùnkùn sí àwọn ará Ejibiti ni òru náà. Ṣùgbọ́n ó tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí àwọn Israẹli ni òru náà, ọ̀kan kò sì súnmọ́ èkejì ni gbogbo òru náà.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Mose na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí orí Òkun, ni gbogbo òru náà ni Olúwa fi lé òkun sẹ́yìn pẹ̀lú ìjì líle láti ìlà-oòrùn wá, ó sì sọ ọ́ di ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀. Omi òkun sì pínyà,
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.
àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì la ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ kọjá nínú òkun pẹ̀lú ògiri omi ní ọ̀tún àti òsì.
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.
Àwọn ará Ejibiti sì ń lépa wọn, gbogbo ẹṣin Farao, kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ̀ wọ́ tọ̀ wọ́n lọ sínú òkun.
24 Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
Ní ìṣọ́ òwúrọ̀ Olúwa bojú wo ogun àwọn ará Ejibiti láàrín ọ̀wọ̀n iná àti ìkùùkuu, ó sì kó ìpayà bá àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ejibiti.
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!”
Ó sì yọ àgbá ẹsẹ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun wọn kí ó bá à le ṣòro fún wọn láti fi kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun náà rìn. Àwọn ará Ejibiti wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sá àsálà kúrò ní iwájú àwọn ará Israẹli nítorí Olúwa ń bá wa jà nítorí wọn.”
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.”
Olúwa sì wí fún Mose pé, “Na ọwọ́ rẹ sí orí òkun kí omi òkun lè ya padà sórí àwọn ará Ejibiti, kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun wọn àti sórí ẹlẹ́ṣin wọn.”
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.
Mose sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí orí òkun, òkun sì padà bọ́ sí ipò rẹ̀ nígbà ti ilẹ̀ mọ́. Àwọn ará Ejibiti ń sá fún omi òkun, Olúwa sì gbá wọn sínú òkun.
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.
Omi òkun sì ya padà, ó sì bo kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin: àní, gbogbo ọmọ-ogun Farao tiwọn wọ inú òkun tọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ kò sí ọ̀kan nínú wọn tí ó yè.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Israẹli la òkun kọjá lórí ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ògiri omi ni ọ̀tún àti òsì wọn.
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.
Ni ọjọ́ yìí ni Olúwa gba Israẹli là kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Ejibiti; Israẹli sì rí òkú àwọn ará Ejibiti ni etí òkun.
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.
Nígbà ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rí iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá ti Olúwa ṣe fún wọn lára àwọn ará Ejibiti, àwọn ènìyàn bẹ̀rù Olúwa, wọ́n sì gba Olúwa àti Mose ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gbọ́.
