Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.
Ndipo Mose ndi Aisraeli anayimbira Yehova nyimbo iyi: “Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wakwezeka mʼchigonjetso. Kavalo ndi wokwera wake, Iye wawaponya mʼnyanja.
2 The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
Yehova ndiye mphamvu yanga ndi nyimbo yanga; ndiye chipulumutso changa. Iye ndiye Mulungu wanga, ndipo ndidzamutamanda, Mulungu wa makolo anga, ine ndidzamukweza.
3 The LORD is a man of war. The LORD is his name.
Yehova ndi wankhondo; Yehova ndilo dzina lake.
4 He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Magaleta a Farao ndi asilikali ake ankhondo Iye wawaponya mʼnyanja. Akatswiri ankhondo amphamvu a Farao amizidwa mʼNyanja Yofiira.
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Nyanja yakuya inawaphimba; Iwo anamira pansi ngati mwala.”
6 Your right hand, LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Yehova, dzanja lanu lamanja ndi laulemerero chifukwa cha mphamvu zake. Ndithu Yehova, dzanja lanu lamanja linaphwanya mdani.
7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
Ndi ulemerero wanu waukulu, munagonjetsa okutsutsani. Inu munatumiza mkwiyo wanu waukulu; ndipo unawapsereza ngati udzu.
8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Ndi mpweya wotuluka mʼmphuno mwanu madzi anawunjikana pamodzi. Nyanja yakuya ija inasanduka madzi owuma gwaa kufika pansi.
9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’
Mdaniyo anati, “Ine ndidzawalondola, ndipo ndidzawagwira. Ndidzagawa chuma chawo; ndiye chokhumba changa chidzakwaniritsidwa. Ine ndidzasolola lupanga langa, ndi mkono wanga ndidzawawononga.”
10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Koma Inu munawuzira mphepo yanu, ndipo nyanja inawaphimba. Iwo anamira ngati chitsulo mʼmadzi amphamvu.
11 Who is like you, LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Ndithu Yehova, pakati pa milungu, ndani afanana nanu? Inu amene muli woyera, ndiponso wotamandika wolemekezeka, chifukwa cha ntchito zanu, zazikulu ndi zodabwitsa?
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Munatambasula dzanja lanu lamanja ndipo dziko linawameza.
13 “You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
Ndi chikondi chanu chosasinthika mudzatsogolera anthu amene munawawombola. Ndi mphamvu zanu munawatsogolera ku malo anu woyera.
14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Anthu amitundu ina anamva za mbiriyi ndipo ananjenjemera ndi mantha, mantha woopsa agwira anthu a dziko la Filisiti.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
Tsopano mafumu a ku Edomu agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu, otsogolera a dziko la Mowabu akunjenjemera ndi mantha, ndipo anthu a ku Kanaani asungunuka ndi mantha.
16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone, until your people pass over, LORD, until the people you have purchased pass over.
Onse agwidwa ndi mantha woopsa. Popeza anaona mphamvu zanu zazikulu, iwo ayima chilili ngati mwala mpaka anthu anu, Inu Yehova atadutsa; inde mpaka atadutsa anthu amene munawagula.
17 You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, LORD, which you have made for yourself to dwell in: the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
Inu mudzawalowetsa ndi kuwakhazikitsa pa phiri lanu. Pa malo pamene Inu Yehova munawapanga kuti muzikhalapo; malo wopatulika amene Inu Ambuye munawakonza ndi manja anu.
18 The LORD will reign forever and ever.”
“Yehova adzalamula mpaka muyaya.”
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
Akavalo a Farao, magaleta ndi oyendetsa akavalo atalowa mʼnyanja, Yehova anawabwezera madziwo mʼnyanja ndi kuwamiza, koma Aisraeli anawoloka nyanjayo powuma.
20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
Ndipo Miriamu mneneri wamkazi, mlongo wa Aaroni anatenga zoyimbira ndipo akazi onse anamutsatira pambuyo, akuyimba ndi zoyimbira ndi kuvina.
21 Miriam answered them, “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”
Miriamu anawayimbira nyimbo iyi: “Imbirani Yehova, chifukwa iye wapambana. Kavalo ndi wokwerapo wake Iye wawamiza mʼnyanja.”
22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Ndipo Mose anatsogolera Israeli kuchoka ku nyanja yofiira ndi kupita ku chipululu cha Suri. Anayenda mʼchipululu masiku atatu wosapeza madzi.
23 When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Ndipo anafika ku Mara. Koma sanathe kumwa madzi akumeneko chifukwa anali owawa. (Ndi chifukwa chake malowo amatchedwa Mara).
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
Tsono anthu aja anadandaulira Mose ndi kumufunsa kuti, “Kodi tikumwa chiyani?”
25 Then he cried to the LORD. The LORD showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them.
Ndipo Mose anapemphera kwa Yehova, ndipo Yehova anamuonetsa kamtengo. Iye anakaponya mʼmadzimo ndipo madzi anakhala abwino. Kumeneko Yehova anawayikira lamulo ndi maweruziro. Kumenekonso Yehova anawayesa.
26 He said, “If you will diligently listen to the LORD your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”
Yehova anati, “Ngati inu mudzamvetsa bwino mawu anga, kuchita zolungama, kumvera malamulo anga ndi kusamalitsa zimene ndikukuwuzani ndiye kuti Ine sindidzayika pa inu matenda amene ndinayika pa anthu a ku Igupto popeza ndine Yehova amene ndimakuchiritsani.”
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
Kenaka anafika ku Elimu, kumene kunali akasupe khumi ndi awiri ndi mitengo ya migwalangwa makumi asanu ndi awiri, ndipo anamanga misasa yawo kumeneko pafupi ndi madzi.
