< Exodus 14 >
1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
2 “Say to the Israelites that they should turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You are to camp by the sea opposite Pi Hahiroth.
“Akka isaan of irra garagalanii Phii Hahiiroti bira, Migdoolii fi galaana gidduu qubatan Israaʼelootatti himi. Isaan fuullee Baʼaal Zefoon, galaana cina qubachuu qabu.
3 Pharaoh will say about the Israelites, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
Faraʼoonis, ‘Israaʼeloonni burjaajaʼanii biyya keessa jooraa jiru; gammoojjiin isaan marseera’ jedhee yaade.
4 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army. The Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” So the Israelites camped as they were instructed.
Anis garaa Faraʼoon nan jabeessa; inni faana dhaʼee isaan duukaa buʼa. Anis karaa Faraʼooniitii fi karaa loltoota isaa hundaatiin ofii kootiif ulfina nan argadha; warri Gibxi akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.” Israaʼeloonnis akkasuma godhan.
5 When the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had fled, the minds of Pharaoh and his servants turned against the people. They said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
Mootiin Gibxi akka sabni sun baqatee baʼe yommuu itti himametti Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltonni isaa yaada waaʼee saba sanaa qaban geeddarratanii, “Akka sabni Israaʼel nu tajaajiluu dhiisee deemuuf gad dhiisuun keenya maal gochuu keenya?” jedhan.
6 Then Pharaoh got his chariots ready and took his army with him.
Innis gaarii isaa qopheeffatee, loltoota isaas fudhatee kaʼe.
7 He took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers on all of them.
Gaariiwwan filatamoo dhibba jaʼa, gaariiwwan Gibxi biraa hunda kanneen ajajjuuwwan isaan hunda irra jiran fudhatee kaʼe.
8 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and the king pursued the Israelites. Now the Israelites had gone away in triumph.
Waaqayyos Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi mata jabeessa godhe; Faraʼoonis Israaʼeloota warra sodaa malee baʼaa turan sana duukaa buʼee ariʼe.
9 But the Egyptians pursued them, together with all his horses and chariots, his horsemen, and his army. They overtook the Israelites camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Warri Gibxis fardeenii fi gaariiwwan Faraʼoon hundi, abbootiin fardaatii fi loltoonni lafoon Israaʼeloota duukaa buʼanii isaanii Phii Hahiiroti bira fuullee Baʼaal Zefoon qarqara galaanaa qubatanii jiran qaqqaban.
10 When Pharaoh came close, the Israelites looked up and were surprised. The Egyptians were marching after them, and they were terrified. The Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
Yeroo Faraʼoon itti dhiʼaatettis Israaʼeloonni ol ilaalanii kunoo warri Gibxi dugda duubaan isaan faana dhufan argan. Isaanis sodaatanii Waaqayyotti iyyatan.
11 They said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us like this, bringing us out of Egypt?
Isaanis Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Ati waan iddoon awwaalaa Gibxi hin jirreef akka nu gammoojjii keessatti dhumnuuf as nu fiddee? Ati Gibxi nu baasuun kee maal nu gochuu kee ti?
12 Is this not what we told you in Egypt? We said to you, 'Leave us alone, so we can work for the Egyptians.' It would have been better for us to work for them than to die in the wilderness.”
Nu Gibxi keessatti, ‘Akka warra Gibxi tajaajilluuf nu dhiisi’ siin hin jennee? Gammoojjii keessatti dhumuu irra warra Gibxi tajaajiluu nuu wayya ture!”
13 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the rescue that Yahweh will provide for you today. For you will never see again the Egyptians whom you see today.
Museen akkana jedhee saba sanaaf deebise; “Hin sodaatinaa; jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa! Fayyisuu Waaqayyoo kan inni harʼa isinii godhu ilaalaa! Warra Gibxi kan harʼa argitan kana lammata deebitanii hin argitan.
14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you will only have to stand still.”
Waaqayyo isiniif lola; isin gab jedhaa.”
15 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Why are you, Moses, continuing to call out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif natti iyyita? Akka isaan adeemsa isaanii itti fufaniif Israaʼelootatti himi.
16 Lift up your staff, reach out with your hand over the sea and divide it in two, so that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.
Ulee kee ol fuudhiitii harka kee galaana irra diriirfadhu; akka Israaʼeloonni lafa gogaa irra galaana gidduu darbaniif bishaan gargari qoodi.
17 Be aware that I will harden the Egyptians' hearts so they will go after them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Ani immoo akka isaan dugda isaanii duubaan seenaniif garaa warra Gibxi nan jabeessa. Anis Faraʼoonii fi loltoota isaa hunda irratti, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootii fardaa isaa irratti ulfina nan argadha.
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten honor because of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Yeroo ani Faraʼoon irratti, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootii fardaa isaa irratti ulfina argadhutti warri Gibxi akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
19 The angel of God, who went before the Israelites, moved and went behind them. The pillar of cloud moved from before them and went to stand behind them.
Yommus ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan saba Israaʼel dura deemaa ture sun kaʼee gara dugda isaanii duubaatti darbe. Utubaan duumessaa sunis fuula isaanii duraa kaʼee isaan duuba dhaabate;
20 The cloud came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. It was a dark cloud to the Egyptians, but it lit the night for the Israelites, so one side did not come near the other all night.
utubaan sunis loltoota Gibxii fi loltoota Israaʼel gidduu seene. Duumessi sun halkan sana gama tokkotti dukkana, gama kaanitti immoo ifa fide; kanaafuu halkan sana guutuu garee lamaan keessaa tokko illee garee kaanitti hin dhiʼaanne.
21 Moses reached out with his hand over the sea. Yahweh drove the sea back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea into dry land. In this way the waters were divided.
Museenis harka isaa galaana irra diriirfate; Waaqayyos halkan sana guutuu bubbee baʼa biiftuu jabaadhaan galaanicha gara duubaatti deebisee galaanicha lafa gogaa godhe. Bishaan sunis gargari qoodame;
22 The Israelites went into the middle of the sea on dry ground. The waters formed a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.
Israaʼeloonnis galaanicha gidduu lafa gogaa irra darban; bishaanichis karaa mirgaa isaaniitii fi karaa bitaa isaanii keenyan taʼeef.
23 The Egyptians pursued them. They went after them into the middle of the sea—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen.
Warri Gibxi isaan duukaa buʼanii fardeen Faraʼoon, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootiin fardaa isaa galaana seenan.
24 But in the early morning hours, Yahweh looked down on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and cloud. He caused panic among the Egyptians.
Yommuu lafti bariʼetti Waaqayyo utubaa ibiddaatii fi duumessaa keessaa loltoota Gibxi sana gad ilaalee gara itti goran isaan wallaalchise.
25 Their chariot wheels were clogged, and the horsemen drove with difficulty. So the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel, for Yahweh is fighting for them against us.”
Akka isaan rakkinaan oofaniifis gommaa gaariiwwan isaanii irraa baase. Warri Gibxis, “Waan Waaqayyo gama Israaʼelootaa dhaabatee warra Gibxi lolaa jiruuf kottaa isaan duraa baqannaa” jedhan.
26 Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back onto the Egyptians, their chariots, and their horsemen.”
Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Akka bishaanonni warra Gibxi irra, gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaa isaanii irra garagalaniif harka kee galaana irratti diriirsi” jedhe.
27 So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and it returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. The Egyptians fled into the sea, and Yahweh drove the Egyptians into the middle of it.
Museenis harka isaa galaanicha irratti diriirse; yeroo lafti bariʼettis galaanni sun iddoo isaatti deebiʼe. Warri Gibxis bishaan sana jalaa baqatan; Waaqayyos haxaaʼee galaanatti isaan naqe.
28 The waters came back and covered Pharaoh's chariots, horsemen, and his entire army that had followed the chariots into the sea. No one survived.
Bishaan sun iddoo isaatti deebiʼee gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaa jechuunis loltoota Faraʼoon kanneen Israaʼeloota duukaa buʼanii galaana seenan sana hunda liqimse. Isaan keessaas namni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
29 However, the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.
Israaʼeloonni garuu bishaanichi karaa mirga isaaniitii fi karaa bitaa isaaniitiin keenyan taʼeefii galaanicha keessa lafa gogaa irra darban.
30 So Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw dead Egyptians on the seashore.
Gaafas Waaqayyo harka warra Gibxi jalaa Israaʼeloota baase; warri Israaʼelis reeffa warra Gibxi qarqara galaanaatti argan.
31 When Israel saw the great power that Yahweh used against the Egyptians, the people honored Yahweh, and they trusted in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
Israaʼeloonnis yommuu humna guddaa kan Waaqayyo warra Gibxi irratti mulʼise sana arganitti, Waaqayyoon sodaatan; isaanis Waaqayyoo fi tajaajilaa isaa Musee amanan.
