< Exodus 14 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
“Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah mael uh saeh. Te dongah Pihahiroth dan kah Migdol laklo neh Baalzephon dan kah tuipuei laklo ah rhaeh uh saeh. Te kah a dan tuipuei taengah khaw rhaeh uh.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They [are] entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh, ‘Israel ca rhoek tah khohmuen ah amamih a lukil uh tih khosoek ah a det,’ ti saeh.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow them; and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I [am] the LORD. And they did so.
Te vaengah Pharaoh lungbuei te ka moem pah vetih amih te a hloem ni. Tedae Pharaoh neh a thadueng cungkuem rhangneh kamah ka thangpom vetih Egypt rhoek loh kai he YAHWEH la a ming uh ni,” a ti nah tih a saii uh tangloeng.
5 And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Tedae pilnam a yong te Egypt manghai taengla a puen pah vaengah tah Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek loh pilnam taengah thinko a maelh uh tih, “Israel he mamih ham a thotat khui lamloh n'hlah coeng dongah balae n'saii uh he,” a ti uh.
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
Te dongah a leng te a khih tih amah pilnam te amah taengla a loh.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
Te phoeiah leng a coelh ya rhuk neh Egypt leng boeih kah a boeilu boeih te khaw a loh.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
BOEIPA loh Egypt manghai Pharaoh kah lungbuei te a moem pah dongah Israel ca rhoek te a hloem. Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah kut thoh nen ni a khong uh.
9 But the Egyptians pursued them (all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army) and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Amih hnuk te Egypt rhoek loh a hloem uh tangloeng tih tuipuei taengah a rhaeh vaengah amih te a kae uh. Pharaoh kah marhang leng boeih neh a marhang caem khaw, anih kah caem khaw, Baalzephon dan kah Pihahiroth la pawk.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were greatly afraid; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.
Pharaoh loh a paan vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh a mik te a huel uh. Egypt rhoek te a hnukah tarha a caeh pah vaengah tah bahoeng a rhih dongah Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA taengah pang uh.
11 And they said to Moses, Because [there were] no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why hast thou dealt thus with us, to conduct us out of Egypt?
Moses taengah khaw, “Egypt ah phuel om voel pawt tih nim khosoek ah duek sak ham kaimih nang khuen, Egypt lamloh kaimih nang khuen neh kaimih ham banim na saii he?
12 [Is] not this the word that we told thee in Egypt, Saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For [it had been] better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Egypt ah nang hma kan thui uh te ol pawt nim. Kaimih he tamah laeh saeh ka ti. Egypt taengah thotat palueng sih, khosoek kah duek lakah Egypt taengah thohtat he kaimih ham then ngai,” a ti uh.
13 And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Tedae Moses loh pilnam te, “Rhih uh boeh, pai uh lamtah hmu uh. BOEIPA kah khangnah he nangmih ham tihnin ah a saii bitni. Tihnin kah na hmuh Egypt rhoek he koep hmuh ham kumhal duela na khoep uh voel mahpawh.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
BOEIPA loh nangmih ham a vathoh bitni, nangmih duem om uh,” a ti nah.
15 And the LORD said to Moses, Why criest thou to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward:
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Balae tih kai taengah na pang, Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah ana cet uh saeh.
16 But lift thou thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
Nang te na conghol thoh lamtah tuipuei soah na kut thueng laeh. Tuipuei te a phih daengah ni Israel ca te tuipuei khui kah laiphuei dongah a caeh uh eh.
17 And I, behold I, will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen.
Kai kamah long ni Egypt lungbuei te ka moem pah. Amih te a hloem vaengah ni Pharaoh so neh a caem boeih so lamloh, a leng so neh a marhang caem so lamloh kamah ka thangpom uh eh.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Pharaoh so neh a leng soah a marhang caem soah kamah ka thangpom uh vaengah kai YAHWEH he Egypt loh a ming bitni,” a ti nah.
19 And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed, and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
Te phoeiah Israel lambong hmai ah aka cet Pathen puencawn tah khoe uh tih amih hnuk la cet. Cingmai tung khaw amih hmai lamloh thoeih tih amih hnuk ah pai.
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to them], but it gave light by night [to these]: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
Te vaengah Egypt lambong laklo neh Israel lambong laklo la pawk. Cingmai khaw a hmuep la om dae khoyin ah sae. Te dongah khoyin khing a taengla pha thai pawh.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
Te vaengah Moses loh a kut te tuipuei soah a thueng tih BOEIPA loh tuipuei te khoyin puet khothoeng yilh tlung neh a yah pah. Te dongah tuipuei te lanhak la poeh tih tui te phik uh.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te tuipuei laklung kah laiphuei dongah cet uh tih tui khaw amih ham a banvoei neh a bantang ah vongtung la a om pah.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Egypt rhoek a hloem uh vaengah Pharaoh kah marhang leng boeih neh a marhang caem khaw amih hnukah tuipuei tuilung la kun uh.
24 And it came to pass, that, in the morning-watch, the LORD looked to the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire, and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
Mincang khopo a pha vaengah BOEIPA loh hmai tung neh cingmai dong lamloh Egypt lambong te a dan tih Egypt lambong te a khawkkhek.
25 And took off their chariot-wheels, and made them to move heavily, so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
A leng dongkah lengkho te a tling pah tih hnorhih la a hmaithawn. Te dongah Egypt loh, “Israel mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham pawn sih, BOEIPA loh amih ham Egypt a vathoh thil,” a ti.
26 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Tuipuei soah na kut te thueng lamtah tui loh Egypt neh a leng neh a marhang caem soah et saeh,” a ti nah.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Moses loh a kut te tuipuei soah a thueng tangloeng tih mincang vikvak ah tuipuei khaw amah thim la mael. Te long te amah coeng dongah Egypt rhoek khaw rhaelrham uh dae BOEIPA loh Egypt rhoek te tuipuei khui la a khoek.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
Tui a mael vaengah leng neh marhang caem te a et pah. Amih hnuk ah tuipuei la aka pawk Pharaoh caem boeih te pakhat pataeng sueng pawh.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah tuipuei tuilung kah laiphuei dongah cet uh tih tui te amih kah a banvoei, a bantang ah vongtung la a om pah.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians: and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
Tekah khohnin ah BOEIPA loh Israel te Egypt kut lamkah a khang tangloeng tih Israel loh tuipuei tuikaeng ah Egypt a duek te a hmuh.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
BOEIPA kah tanglue kut neh Egypt soah a saii te Israel loh a hmuh. Te daengah pilnam loh BOEIPA te a rhih tih BOEIPA neh a sal Moses te a tangnah uh.
