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!
Yommus Musee fi Israaʼeloonni Faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfatan: “Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; inni ol ol jedheeraatii. Inni fardaa fi namicha farda yaabbate galaanatti gad darbateera.
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.
“Waaqayyo jabina kootii fi faarfannaa koo ti; inni fayyina koo taʼeera. Inni Waaqa koo ti; anis isa nan jajadha; inni Waaqa abbaa kootii ti; anis isa ol ol nan qaba.
3 Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
Waaqayyo goota waraanaa ti; maqaan isaa Waaqayyo.
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).
Inni gaariiwwan Faraʼoonii fi loltoota isaa galaanatti gad darbateera. Qondaaltota Faraʼoon keessaa filatamtoonni, Galaana Diimaa keessa dhidhimaniiru.
5 The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
Tuujubni isaan irra gara gale; isaanis akkuma dhagaa tuujubatti gad dhidhiman.
6 O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
Yaa Waaqayyo, harki kee mirgaa humnaan ulfina qabeessa. Yaa Waaqayyo, harki kee mirgaa diina ni hurreessa.
7 You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
“Ati guddina ulfina keetiitiin warra siin morman gad darbatte. Aarii kee bobaʼaa ni ergite; innis akkuma habaqiitti gubee isaan fixe.
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.
Hafuura funyaan keetiitiin bishaanonni tuulaman. Bishaan yaaʼu akkuma keenyaniitti ol dhaabate; tuujuboonnis walakkaa galaanaatti ititan.
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.’
Diinni, ‘Ani faana buʼee isaan qaqqaba. Boojuu nan qoodadha; ani isaan irratti fedhii koo nan guutadha. Goraadee koo nan luqqifadha; harki koo isaan barbadeessa’ jedhee nan dhaadate.
10 But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
Ati garuu bubbee kee itti bubbifte; galaanni immoo isaan irra gara gale. Isaanis akkuma sibiilaa bishaanota jajjaboodhaan liqimfaman.
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]!
Yaa Waaqayyo, waaqota keessaa eenyutu si fakkaata? Qulqullinaan simboo qabeessi, ulfinaan sodaachisaan, hojii dinqii hojjechuuttis kan akka keetii eenyu?
12 When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
“Ati harka kee mirgaa diriirfannaan, lafti isaan liqimsite.
13 You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
Ati saba furte sana, jaalala kee hin geeddaramneen geggeessita. Jabina keetiinis gara iddoo jireenya keetii qulqulluutti isaan qajeelchita.
14 The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
Saboonni dhagaʼanii hollatu; muddamsuunis saba Filisxeem qabate.
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.
Hangafoonni Edoom ni rifatu; bulchitoota Moʼaabis naasuutu qabata; warri Kanaʼaanis bishaanuma taʼu;
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,
sodaa fi abdii kutachuun isaan irra buʼa. Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma sabni kee darbutti, hamma sabni ati bitatte sun darbutti jabina harka keetiitiin isaan akkuma dhagaa calʼisu.
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.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati gara tulluu dhaala keetiitti, gara lafa iddoo jireenya keetii godhachuuf tolfatteetti, yaa Gooftaa ati gara iddoo qulqulluu harki kee hundeesseetti ol galchitee isaan dhaabda.
18 O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
“Waaqayyo, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti moʼa.”
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.”
Yommuu fardeen, gaariiwwanii fi abbootiin fardaa kan Faraʼoon galaana seenanitti Waaqayyo bishaanota isaan irra garagalche; Israaʼeloonni garuu lafa gogaa irra deemanii galaana keessa darban.
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,
Miiriyaam obboleettiin Aroon raajittiin sun dibbee harkatti qabattee kaate; dubartoonni hundinuus dibbee isaanii fudhatanii sirbaa ishee faana buʼan.
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.”
Miiriyaamis akkana jettee isaaniif faarfatte: “Waaqayyo faarfadhaa; inni ulfinaan moʼateeraatii. Inni fardaa fi namicha farda yaabbate galaanatti gad darbateera.”
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.
Museenis saba Israaʼel Galaana Diimaa biraa fuudhee qajeelche; isaanis Gammoojjii Shuuri seenan. Israaʼeloonnis utuu bishaan hin argatin guyyaa sadii gammoojjii keessa deeman.
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’].
Isaanis yommuu Maaraa gaʼanitti bishaan isaa dhuguu hin dandeenye; bishaan sun hadhaaʼaa tureetii. Wanni iddoon sun Maaraa jedhameefis kanuma.
24 The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
Jarri sunis, “Nu maal haa dhugnuu?” jedhanii Museetti guunguman.
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,
Yommus Museen Waaqayyotti iyyinaan, Waaqayyo muka tokko isa argisiise. Innis muka sana bishaanitti gad darbate; bishaan sunis ni miʼaawe. Waaqayyos iddoo sanatti sirnaa fi seera isaaniif baase; achittis isaan qore.
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.”
Innis akkana jedhe; “Ati yoo sagalee Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii garaa tokkoon dhageesse, yoo waan fuula isaa duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjette, yoo ajaja isaa qalbeeffattee fi yoo seera isaa hunda eegde, ani dhukkuba warra Gibxitti fide sana keessaa tokko iyyuu sitti hin fidu; ani Waaqayyo si fayyisuudhaatii.”
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.
Isaanis gara Eelim iddoo burqaan kudha lamaa fi mukkeen meexxii torbaatamni turan dhufanii achi bishaan bira qubatan.
