Exodus 14
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
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.
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woatrɔ aɖo ta Pi Hahirɔt, le Migdol kple atsiaƒu la dome le Baal Zefon ŋgɔ, eye woaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe ƒu la nu,
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They [are] entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
elabena Farao abu be, ‘Israelvi mawo xaxa ɖe ƒu la kple gbegbe la dome!’
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.
Magana Farao nagasẽ dzi me, eye wòati mia yome. Mewɔ ɖoɖo sia ale be makpɔ bubu kple ŋutikɔkɔe gã ɖe Farao kple eƒe aʋakɔ dzi. Ale Egiptetɔwo anya be nyee nye Yehowa.” Ale woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi si Mose fia wo la.
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?
Esi Egipte fia se be Israelviwo meɖo ta me be yewoagbugbɔ va Egipte le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe o, ke boŋ yewoayi mɔzɔzɔ dzi la, Farao kple eŋumewo ƒe mo nyra, eye dzi gaɖo wo ƒo. Wobia be, “Nu kae nye esi míewɔ be míeɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu wodzo eye míebu woƒe subɔsubɔdɔ nyuitɔwo?”
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
Ale Farao na wodzra eƒe tasiaɖam ɖo nɛ, eye wòkplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ ɖe asi.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
Etia tasiaɖam nyuitɔ alafa ade kpe ɖe tasiaɖam bubu siwo katã nɔ Egipte la ŋu, eye wòtsɔ asrafomegãwo ɖo ɖe sia ɖe nu.
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.
Yehowa na Egipte fia Farao ƒe dzi me sẽ ɖe edzi, ale wòti Israelvi siwo nɔ azɔli dzi dzideƒotɔe la yome.
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.
Wowɔ Farao ƒe sɔwo, tasiaɖamwo, sɔdolawo kple aʋawɔla bubuawo katã ŋu dɔ le wo yometiti me. Egiptetɔwo va tu Israelviwo, esi woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe ƒu la to, te ɖe Pi Hahirɔt ŋu le Baal Zefon ŋgɔ.
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.
Esi Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gbɔna la, Israelviwo kpɔ wo ɖaa le adzɔge ke, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ŋutɔ. Wodo ɣli na Yehowa be wòakpe ɖe yewo ŋu.
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?
Wotrɔ ɖe Mose gbɔ helĩ liʋĩliʋĩ be, “Ɖe nèkplɔ mí va afi sia be míaku ɖe gbedzi, elabena yɔdowo mele Egipte oa? Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ be nèkplɔ mí do goe tso Egipte?
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.
“Menye esiae míegblɔ na wò esime míenɔ Egipte la be, ‘Ɖe asi le mía ŋu kpoo ne míasubɔ Egiptetɔwo’ oa? Anyo na mí be míasubɔ Egiptetɔwo wu be míaku ɖe gbegbe!”
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.
Ke Mose ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o, minɔ te ɖe afi si miele la ko, milé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu, eye miakpɔ nukumɔ si dzi Yehowa aɖe mi toe egbe la ɖa. Egiptetɔ siwo kpɔm miele fifia la, miagakpɔ wo akpɔ o.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Yehowa awɔ aʋa na mi; miawo ya mizi kpoo nɛ ko.”
15 And the LORD said to Moses, Why criest thou to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward:
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Nu ka ŋuti nèle ɣli dom nam? Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woaɖe zɔ, ayi ŋgɔ
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.
Do wò atikplɔ la ɖe dzi, eye nàdo wò asi ɖe atsiaƒu la dzi be atsiaƒutsi la nama ɖe eve, ale be Israelviwo nato atsiaƒu la me ayi le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
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.
Mana Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzi me nasẽ be woadze Israelviwo yome, eye makɔ nye ŋkɔ ŋuti to Farao kple eƒe aʋakɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo dzi.
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.
Egiptetɔwo anya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne mekɔ nye ŋkɔ ŋuti to Farao, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple eƒe sɔdolawo dzi.”
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:
Mawudɔla si nɔ Israelviwo kplɔm la trɔ yi Israelviwo megbe, nenema ke lilikpo dodo si nɔ wo ŋgɔ la hã trɔ yi wo megbe,
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.
ale wòtɔ ɖe Egipte ƒe aʋakɔwo kple Israelviwo dome. Le zã blibo la me la, lilikpo la na viviti do ɖe akpa ɖeka, eye kekeli do ɖe akpa kemɛ, ale wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ɖe nɔvia ŋu le zã blibo la me o.
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.
Tete Mose tsɔ eƒe asi do ɖe ƒu la dzi. Ale zã blibo la Yehowa tutu atsiaƒu la ɖe megbe to ɣedzeƒeya sesẽ aɖe dzi, eye wòna anyigba ƒuƒui dze. Tsi la ma ɖe akpa eve,
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.
eye Israelviwo zɔ to atsiaƒu la me le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi, ale tsi la zu gli ɖe woƒe ɖusime kple miame.
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.
Egiptetɔwo, Farao ƒe sɔwo, tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo dze wo yome to atsiaƒu la ƒe gliwo me, eye woawo hã wonɔ atsiaƒu la ƒe ƒuƒuiƒe zɔm.
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,
Ke le ŋdi kanya la, Yehowa kplɔ Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la to dzo bibi la me, eye wòde tɔtɔ wo dome.
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.
Woƒe tasiaɖamwo ƒe afɔwo de asi dodo me le wo te. Ale woƒe tasiaɖamwo de asi anyigbatete me. Egiptetɔwo do ɣli be, “Mina míadzo le Israel nu. Yehowa le aʋa wɔm kpli mí na wo!”
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.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gada wò asi ɖe atsiaƒu la dzi ale be tsigliawo namu adze Egiptetɔwo, woƒe tasiaɖamwo kple woƒe sɔdolawo dzi.”
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.
Mose wɔ alea, eye esi ŋu ke la, atsiaƒu la gazu abe ale si wònɔ tsã ene. Egiptetɔwo dze agbagba be yewoasi, ke Yehowa na atsiaƒutsi la ŋe tsyɔ wo dzi.
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.
Ale tsi la gbugbɔ yi enɔƒe hetsyɔ tasiaɖamwo, sɔdolawo kple Farao ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la, si dze Israelviwo yome ge ɖe atsiaƒu la me dzi. Wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o.
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.
Israelviwo zɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi hetso ƒu la, esime tsi la trɔ zu gli ɖe woƒe ɖusime kple miame.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians: and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
Ale Yehowa ɖe Israelviwo gbe ma gbe tso Egiptetɔwo ƒe asi me. Israelviwo kpɔ Egiptetɔwo woku, eye atsiaƒu la ɖe woƒe kukuawo ƒu gbe ɖe gota.
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.
Esime Israelviwo kpɔ nukunu triakɔ si Yehowa wɔ na wo ɖe Egiptetɔwo ŋu la, wovɔ̃, wode bubu Yehowa ŋu, eye woxɔ eya kple eƒe dɔla Mose dzi se.
