Exodus 15
1 Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
Katahi ka waiata a Mohi ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira i tenei waiata ki a Ihowa, a ka whakahua, ka mea, Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa, he hira noa atu hoki tona kororia: ko te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke, kua panga e ia ki te moana.
2 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
Ko Ihowa toku kaha, taku waiata, ko ia ano hoki hei whakaora moku: ko toku Atua tenei, a maku ia e whakakororia; ko te Atua o toku papa, a maku ia e whakanui.
3 Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
He tangata whawhai a ihowa: ko Ihowa tona ingoa.
4 He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
Ko nga hariata a Parao, me tana ope, kua maka e ia ki te moana: ko ana rangatira whiriwhiri toremi iho ki te Moana Whero.
5 The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
Taupokina iho ratou e nga wai hohonu; totohu ana ratou ki te rire, ano he kamaka.
6 O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
Ka whai kororia tou ringa matau, e Ihowa, mo te kaha: na tou ringa, e Ihowa i mongamonga ai te hoa whawhai.
7 You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
Na te nui o tou kaha ka turakina e koe te hunga i whakatika mai ra ki a koe: te whakaputanga o tou riri, pau katoa ratou, me he tumutumu otaota.
8 You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
Na te hau hoki o tou ihu i haupu ai nga wai; i tu ake nga roma, ano he puranga, a whakatotoka ana te rire i te takere o te moana.
9 [Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
I mea te hoariri, Ka whai atu ahau, ka hopu, ka tuwha i nga taonga; ka na toku ngakau i a ratou; ka unuhia taku hoari, ma toku ringa ratou e huna.
10 But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
I pupuhi atu koe ki tau hau, taupokina iho ratou e te moana; totohu iho ratou, ano he mata, i nga wai nui.
11 Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
Ko wai o nga atua hei rite mou, e Ihowa? ko wai hei rite mou, e whakamoemititia nei mo te tapu, e wehingia nei, e whakapaingia nei, e mahi nei i nga mea whakamiharo?
12 When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
I totoro atu tou ringa matau, horomia ana ratou e te whenua.
13 You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
Na tou atawhai i arahina mai ai e koe te iwi kua hokona nei e koe; na tou kaha i aratakina ai ratou e koe ki tou nohoanga tapu.
14 The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
Ka rongo nga iwi, ka tuiri: mau tonu te matapouri ki nga tangata o Pirihitia.
15 The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
No reira i ohorere ai nga rangatira o Eroma: ko nga tangata nunui o Moapa, mau tonu te wiri ki a ratou; memeha noa nga tangata katoa o Kanaana.
16 They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
Tau ana ki a ratou te tuiri me te wehi: ma te nui o tou ringa e tu tonu ai ratou, ano he kohatu, kia pahemo ra ano tou iwi, e Ihowa, kia pahemo ra ano tenei iwi kua hokona nei e koe.
17 to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
Mau ratou e kawe atu, e whakatupu ki te maunga, ki tou kainga o mua iho, ki te wahi, e Ihowa, i hanga e koe hei nohoanga mou, ki te wahi tapu, e te Ariki, i whakapumautia e ou ringa.
18 O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
Hei kingi a Ihowa ake ake.
19 The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
I haere hoki nga hoiho a Parao, me ana hariata, me ana hoia eke hoiho ki te moana, a na Ihowa i whakahoki nga wai o te moana ki runga ki a ratou: tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, i haere ra te wahi maroke, i waenga moana.
20 Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
A ka tango a Miriama poropiti, tuahine o Arona, i te timipera ki tona ringa; a haere atu ana nga wahine katoa i muri i a ia me nga timipera, me te kanikani ano ratou.
21 and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
A i whakahokia e Miriama ta ratou, Waiata ki a Ihowa, he hira noa atu hoki tona kororia; nana hoki te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke i whiu ki te moana.
22 Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
A arahina atu ana e Mohi a Iharaira i te Moana Whero, a ka haere ratou ki te koraha o Huri: a e toru nga ra i haere ai ratou i te koraha, a kihai i kitea he wai.
23 So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
Na ka tae ratou ki Mara, kihai hoki i ahei te inu i nga wai o Mara; he kawa hoki: na reira i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Mara.
24 The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
Na ka amuamu te iwi ki a Mohi, ka mea, Ko te aha hei inu ma matou?
25 So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
Na ka karanga ia ki a Ihowa; a ka whakakitea mai he rakau e Ihowa ki a ia, a panga ana e ia ki nga wai, na, ka reka nga wai: i homai e ia he ture ki a ratou i reira, me tetahi ritenga; i whakamatauria ratou e ia ki reira.
26 by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
I mea hoki ia, Ki te rongo marie koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, a ka mahi i te mea tika ki tana titiro, a ka whai taringa ki ana whakahau, ka pupuri hoki i ana tikanga katoa, e kore rawa tetahi o aua mate i whakapangia ki nga Ihipiana e ahau, e whakapangia atu e ahau ki a koe; ko Ihowa hoki ahau e whakaora nei i a koe.
27 [After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
Na ka tae ratou ki Erimi, kotahi tekau ma rua nei nga puna wai i reira, me nga nikau e whitu tekau; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ki te taha o nga wai.
