< Exodus 14 >
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-Zephon; over-against it ye do encamp by the sea,
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli macooke na thuutha, na mambe hema gũkuhĩ na Pi-Hahirothu, gatagatĩ ka Migidoli na iria. Nĩmambe hema hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, kũngʼethanĩra na Baali-Zefoni.
3 and Pharaoh hath said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut upon them;
Firaũni nĩageciiria atĩrĩ, ‘andũ a Isiraeli marĩ na kĩrigiicano no kũũrũũra marorũũra bũrũri-inĩ, mahingĩrĩirio nĩ werũ.’
4 and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath pursued after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah;' and they do so.
Na nĩngomia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake nĩakamaingatithia. No niĩ mwene nĩngegĩĩra na riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita, nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ũguo merĩtwo.
5 And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people hath fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, 'What [is] this we have done? that we have sent Israel away from our service.'
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri eerirwo atĩ andũ acio nĩmorĩte-rĩ, Firaũni na anene ake makĩĩricũkwo ũhoro ũcio, magĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Tweka atĩa? Twarekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ na ithuĩ tuorĩrwo nĩ ũtungata wao?”
6 And he harnesseth his chariot, and his people he hath taken with him,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga ngaari yake ya ita ĩhaarĩrio, na agĩthiĩ na mbũtũ yake ya ita.
7 and he taketh six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
Agĩthiĩ na ngaari cia ita 600 iria njega mũno, o hamwe na ngaari cia ita iria ingĩ ciothe cia bũrũri wa Misiri, ciothe irũgamĩrĩirwo nĩ anene.
8 and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursueth after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand,
Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩrũmĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli na ihenya arĩa moimagarĩte makinyũkĩtie na ũcamba.
9 and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon.
Andũ a Misiri, hamwe na mbarathi ciothe cia Firaũni na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, na thigari, makĩrũmĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli na ihenya makĩmakinyĩra harĩa maambĩte hema rũteere-inĩ rwa iria, hakuhĩ na Pi-Hahirothu kũngʼethera Baali-Zefoni.
10 And Pharaoh hath drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and lo, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah.
Firaũni akuhĩrĩria-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩhũgũra, makĩona andũ a Misiri mamoimĩte thuutha makĩmaka mũno, magĩkaĩra Jehova.
11 And they say unto Moses, 'Because there are no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in a wilderness? what is this thou hast done to us — to bring us out from Egypt?
Makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mbĩrĩra gũtaarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩguo ũtũrehe tũkuĩre gũkũ werũ-inĩ? Nĩ atĩa ũũ ũtwĩkĩte ũgatũruta bũrũri wa Misiri?
12 Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?'
Githĩ tũtiakwĩrire tũrĩ o bũrũri wa Misiri atĩ ũtigane na ithuĩ, ũreke tũtungatĩre andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri? Kũngĩarĩ wega tũtungatĩre andũ a Misiri kũrĩ gũkuĩra werũ-inĩ!”
13 And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, station yourselves, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He doth for you to-day; for, as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye add no more to see them — to the age;
Musa agĩcookeria andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Mwĩhaandei wega, na nĩmũkuona ũhonokio ũrĩa Jehova ekũmũrehere ũmũthĩ. Andũ a Misiri aya mũrona ũmũthĩ, mũtikamona rĩngĩ.
14 Jehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.'
Jehova nĩekũmũrũĩrĩra, mũbatie o gũikara mũhooreire.”
15 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'What? thou criest unto Me — speak unto the sons of Israel, and they journey;
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũrangaĩra nĩkĩ? Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ na mbere.
16 and thou, lift up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand towards the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
Oya rũthanju rwaku, na ũtambũrũkie guoko igũrũ wa iria ũgayanie maaĩ nĩgeetha andũ a Isiraeli matuĩkanĩrie iria-inĩ, mathiĩrĩire thĩ nyũmũ.
17 'And I — lo, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, on his chariots, and on his horsemen;
Nĩngũũmia ngoro cia andũ a Misiri nĩgeetha o nao mamarũmĩrĩre. Na nĩngegĩĩra riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni na mbũtũ yake ya ita, o na nĩ ũndũ wa ngaari ciake cia ita, o na andũ ake arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.
18 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My being honoured on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.'
Nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova hĩndĩ ĩyo ngegĩĩra riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni, na ngaari ciake cia ita na andũ ake arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.”
19 And the messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeyeth and goeth at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeyeth from their front, and standeth at their rear,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũraika wa Ngai ũrĩa wathiiaga atongoretie mbũtũ ya thigari cia Isiraeli, akĩehera agĩcooka thuutha wao. Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu nakĩo gĩkiuma hau mbere, gĩkĩrũgama thuutha wao,
20 and cometh in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlighteneth the night, and the one hath not drawn near unto the other all the night.
gĩkĩgĩa gatagatĩ ga thigari cia Misiri na cia Isiraeli. Ũtukũ wothe itu rĩu rĩgĩĩkĩra nduma mwena ũmwe, na ũtheri mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ andũ makuhĩrĩirie arĩa angĩ ũtukũ wothe.
21 And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
Ningĩ Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko igũrũ wa iria, na ũtukũ wothe Jehova agĩtindĩka iria na thuutha na ũndũ wa rũhuho rwa kuuma mwena wa irathĩro, na agĩtũma hau hatuĩke thĩ nyũmũ. Maaĩ macio makĩgayũkana,
22 and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea, on dry land, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their right and on their left.
nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩringa iria mahĩtũkĩire thĩ nyũmũ, maaĩ marũgamĩte mwena wao wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
23 And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) unto the midst of the sea,
Nao andũ a Misiri makĩmarũmĩrĩra na ihenya, nacio mbarathi ciothe cia Firaũni na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi makĩmarũmĩrĩra nginya iria-inĩ.
24 and it cometh to pass, in the morning watch, that Jehovah looketh unto the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubleth the camp of the Egyptians,
Rũciinĩ ruoro rũgĩtema-rĩ, Jehova agĩcũthĩrĩria mbũtũ ya ita ya andũ a Misiri arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ kĩa mwaki na gĩa itu, nake akĩmĩrigiica.
25 and turneth aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, 'Let us flee from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians.'
Agĩtũma magũrũ ma ngaari ciao cia ita macomoke nĩgeetha makorwo na thĩĩna wa gũcitwarithia. Nao andũ a Misiri makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũũrei twehere harĩ andũ aya a Isiraeli! Jehova nĩwe ũramarũĩrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Misiri.”
26 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Stretch out thy hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.'
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko igũrũ wa iria nĩgeetha maaĩ macooke mahubanĩrie andũ a Misiri na ngaari ciao cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.”
27 And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and the sea turneth back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and Jehovah shaketh off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,
Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ wa iria, na gũgĩkĩa-rĩ, iria rĩgĩcooka gũtherera o ta mbere. Nao andũ a Misiri makĩgeria kũrĩũrĩra, no Jehova akĩmahubanĩria iria-inĩ thĩinĩ.
28 and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea — there hath not been left of them even one.
Maaĩ magĩcookana, magĩthika ngaari cia ita na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi; nĩo mbũtũ yothe ya Firaũni ĩrĩa yarũmĩrĩire andũ a Isiraeli iria-inĩ. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao wahonokire.
29 And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their right and on their left;
No andũ a Isiraeli maaringire iria magereire njĩra nyũmũ, rũthingo rwa maaĩ rũrũgamĩte mwena wao wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
30 and Jehovah saveth Israel in that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel seeth the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore,
Mũthenya ũcio Jehova akĩhonokia Isiraeli kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ a Misiri, nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩonera ciimba cia andũ a Misiri kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
31 and Israel seeth the great hand with which Jehovah hath wrought against the Egyptians, and the people fear Jehovah, and remain stedfast in Jehovah, and in Moses His servant.
Na rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli moonire hinya mũnene ũrĩa Jehova onirie andũ a Misiri-rĩ, andũ acio magĩĩtigĩra Jehova na makĩmwĩhoka o na makĩĩhoka Musa ndungata yake.
