Exodus 14
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Bondye pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
-Pale ak pèp Izrayèl la, di yo: Tounen dèyè, moute tant nou devan Pyakiròt, ant Migdòl ak lanmè a, anfas Baalsefon. N'a moute tant nou devan kote sa a, bò lanmè a.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
Farawon an pral mete nan tèt li pèp Izrayèl la pèdi nan peyi a, yo pa konn kote pou yo fè nan dezè a.
4 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” They did so.
M'ap fè farawon an fè tèt di ankò, l'a rapouswiv nou. Men, m'ap bat ni farawon an ni tout lame li yo. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen. Konsa, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè jan Bondye te di yo a.
5 The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
Farawon an, wa Lejip la, resevwa rapò. Yo vin di l' pèp la sove ale. Lè sa a, farawon an ak moun pa l' yo chanje lide. Yo di: -Sa nou fè la a? Nou kite yo ale? Yo sove kite travay yo t'ap fè pou nou an?
6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
Farawon an fè pare cha lagè li. Li pran sòlda li yo ak li.
7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
Li pran sisan (600) cha nan sa ki te pi bon yo. Tout lòt cha yo te ale tou. Yo tout te gen sòlda ame sou yo.
8 The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
Seyè a te fèmen kè farawon an, wa Lejip la. Farawon an pran rapouswiv moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te soti kite peyi a devan je tout moun san pesonn pa t' di yo anyen.
9 The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Men apre sa, moun peyi Lejip yo pran kouri dèyè yo ak tout chwal yo, tout cha lagè farawon yo, tout kavalye yo. Tout lame yo te dèyè pèp Izrayèl la. Yo jwenn yo kote yo te moute tant yo a, bò lanmè a, toupre Pyakiròt anfas Baalsefon.
10 When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
Antan farawon an t'ap pwoche, moun Izrayèl yo leve je yo, yo wè moun peyi Lejip yo ki t'ap rapouswiv yo. Yo te pè anpil. Yo pran rele nan pye Seyè a.
11 They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Eske se paske pa gen kote pou antere moun nan peyi Lejip la kifè ou mennen nou vin mouri isit la nan dezè a? Kisa ou fè nou konsa lè ou te fè nou soti kite Lejip la?
12 Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
Eske nou pa t' di ou sa lè nou te Lejip toujou? Nou te di ou: Kite nou travay pou moun peyi Lejip yo, pa vre! Pito nou travay pou moun peyi Lejip yo pase pou nou mouri nan dezè a.
13 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
Moyiz reponn pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Pran kouraj. Louvri je nou pou nou wè jan Seyè a pral delivre nou jòdi a. Moun peyi Lejip sa yo nou wè jòdi a, nou p'ap janm wè yo ankò.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
Seyè a ap goumen pou nou. Nou menm, poze san nou.
15 The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Poukisa w'ap rele konsa nan zòrèy mwen? Di moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo leve mache.
16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
Ou menm, leve baton ou lan. Lonje men ou sou lanmè a, fann li de bò. Konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mache nan mitan lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk.
17 Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
M'ap fè moun peyi Lejip yo fè tèt di pi rèd. Y'ap antre dèyè moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan mitan lanmè a. Mwen pral bat farawon an ansanm ak tout lame l' a, tout cha li yo ak tout kavalye l' yo. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen.
18 The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
Lè m'a bat farawon an ansanm ak tout cha li yo ak kavalye li yo, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
19 The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
Zanj Bondye ki t'ap mache devan moun pèp Izrayèl yo chanje plas, li pase dèyè. Nwaj ki te devan yo a chanje plas tou, li pase dèyè yo.
20 It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
Li rete nan mitan ant moun peyi Lejip yo ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Nwaj la te tou nwa yon bò. Sou lòt bò a, li t'ap klere tout lannwit. Konsa, de lame yo pa t' ka pwoche yonn sou lòt pandan tout lannwit lan.
21 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Moyiz lonje men l' sou lanmè a. Seyè a fè yon gwo van nòde soufle byen fò pandan tout lannwit lan sou lanmè a. Li fè fon lanmè a tounen tè sèk, dlo a fann de bò.
22 The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo antre sou tè sèk la, nan mitan lanmè a. Dlo a te kanpe de bò tankou yon miray sou bò dwat yo ak sou bò gòch yo.
23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Moun peyi Lejip yo pran rapouswiv yo. Yo antre dèyè yo nan mitan lanmè a ak tout chwal farawon yo, tout cha li yo ak tout kavalye l' yo.
24 In the morning watch, the LORD looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
Lè devanjou rive, Seyè a rete nan dife a ak nan nwaj la, li voye je l' sou lame peyi Lejip la, li lage yon sèl dezòd nan mitan yo.
25 He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians!”
Li bloke wou cha yo. Sa te difisil anpil pou cha yo te vanse. Lè sa a, moun peyi Lejip yo di konsa: -Ann kouri kite moun Izrayèl yo an repo. Paske, Seyè a ap goumen pou yo kont nou.
26 The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Lonje men ou sou lanmè a ankò. Dlo a ap tounen nan plas li, l'ap kouvri moun peyi Lejip yo ansanm ak tout cha yo ak kavalye yo.
27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. The LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
Se konsa, lè jou pral kase, Moyiz lonje men l' sou lanmè a, dlo a tounen nan plas li. Lè moun peyi Lejip yo wè dlo a ap vini sou yo, yo t'ap chache sove poul yo. Yo pran kouri. Men, Seyè a voye yo jete nan lanmè a.
28 The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
Dlo a tounen nan plas li, li kouvri cha yo, kavalye yo ak tout lame farawon an. Wi, li kouvri tout moun ki t'ap kouri dèyè moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan lanmè a. Pa gen yonn ki chape.
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Men, moun Izrayèl yo menm te mache nan mitan lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk. Dlo a te kanpe tankou yon miray sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch yo.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Sè jou sa a Seyè a te delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men moun peyi Lejip yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te wè kadav moun peyi Lejip yo sou tout bò lanmè a.
31 Israel saw the great work which the LORD did to the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
Yo wè sa Seyè a te fè moun peyi Lejip yo pase ak fòs ponyèt pa li. Pèp Izrayèl la vin gen krentif pou Seyè a. Yo mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a ak nan Moyiz, sèvitè l' la.
