Exodus 14
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
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,
« Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete bazonga mpe batonga molako pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti, kati ya Migidoli mpe ebale monene. Batonga yango etalana na Bala-Tsefoni pembeni ya ebale monene.
3 and Pharaoh hath said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut upon them;
Faraon akokanisa ete bana ya Isalaele babungi na mokili, esobe ekangi bango.
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.
Nakokomisa motema ya Faraon libanga, mpe ye akolanda bango; kasi nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai, nakotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye; bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. » Bana ya Isalaele basalaki bongo.
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.'
Tango bayebisaki mokonzi ya Ejipito ete bana ya Isalaele bakimi, Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye babongolaki makanisi na bango mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe balobaki: « Likambo nini oyo tosali? Totiki Isalaele kokende mpe tozangeli bato oyo bakoki kosalela biso! »
6 And he harnesseth his chariot, and his people he hath taken with him,
Boye Faraon azwaki shar oyo ezalaki ya kobombama mpe azwaki mampinga na ye elongo na ye.
7 and he taketh six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
Akamataki bashar nkama motoba oyo eleki malamu elongo na bashar nyonso ya Ejipito; shar moko na moko ezalaki na basoda misato.
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,
Yawe akomisaki motema ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, libanga mpo ete alanda bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kotambola na bonsomi nyonso.
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.
Bato ya Ejipito, bampunda nyonso ya Faraon mpe shar mosusu ya Faraon elongo na bato oyo batambolisaka yango mpe mampinga mosusu ya Faraon balandaki bana ya Isalaele mpe bazwaki bango tango batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti oyo etalana na Bala-Tsefoni.
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.
Lokola Faraon apusanaki, bana ya Isalaele batombolaki miso na bango mpe bamonaki ete bato ya Ejipito bazali kolanda bango na sima. Bana ya Isalaele babangaki makasi mpe bagangaki epai na Yawe.
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?
Balobaki na Moyize: — Boni, ezali mpo ete malita ezali te na Ejipito, yango wana omemi biso mpo ete tokufa na esobe? Osali biso nini awa obimisi biso na Ejipito?
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?'
Toyebisaki yo te tango tozalaki na Ejipito: « Tika biso kimia, tika biso tosalela bato ya Ejipito? » Pamba te elekaki malamu mpo na biso kosalela bato ya Ejipito na esika ya kokufa na esobe.
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;
Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Bobanga te, boyika mpiko! Bokomona kokangolama oyo Yawe akomemela bino lelo; bato ya Ejipito oyo bozali komona lelo, bokotikala komona bango lisusu te.
14 Jehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.'
Yawe akobunda mpo na bino, mpe bino bovanda kimia.
15 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'What? thou criest unto Me — speak unto the sons of Israel, and they journey;
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mpo na nini ozali koganga boye epai na Ngai? Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete batambola.
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.
Kasi yo, tombola lingenda na yo, sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpe kabola mayi mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bakoka kokatisa ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka.
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;
Bongo Ngai, nakoyeisa motema ya bato ya Ejipito libanga mpo ete balanda bino mpe nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye nyonso elongo na bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
18 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My being honoured on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.'
Bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon, bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
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,
Anjelu na Nzambe oyo azalaki kotambola liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele azongaki sima na bango, mpe likonzi ya lipata elongwaki liboso na bango mpo ete etelema sima na bango.
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.
Likonzi ya lipata etelemaki kati ya mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya bana ya Isalaele. Likonzi ya lipata epesaki molili na ngambo moko mpe engengisaki ngambo mosusu; yango wana butu mobimba, bato ya Ejipito bakokaki kopusana te pembeni ya bana ya Isalaele.
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,
Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene; bongo na butu mobimba, Yawe atindaki na ebale monene mopepe makasi ya este oyo ekabolaki mayi ya ebale monene.
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.
Bato ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
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,
Bato ya Ejipito balandaki bango mpe bango nyonso bakotaki kati na ebale monene: bampunda nyonso ya Faraon, bashar na ye mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
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,
Liboso ete tongo etana, Yawe atelemaki na likolo ya likonzi ya moto mpe ya lipata, atalaki mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe akotisaki mobulu kati na yango.
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.'
Alongolaki bapine na bashar na bango mpo ete bamona pasi mpo na kokumba. Boye bato ya Ejipito balobaki: — Tokima mosika ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te Yawe azali kobundela bango liboso na biso.
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.'
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpo ete mayi ezonga mpe ekweyela bato ya Ejipito, bashar na bango mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
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,
Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene, mpe liboso ete tongo etana, ebale monene ezongaki na esika na yango mpe bato ya Ejipito oyo balukaki kokima, bakutanaki na mayi liboso na bango. Boye Yawe azindisaki bango kati na ebale monene.
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.
Mayi ezongaki mpe ezipaki bashar elongo na batambolisi ya bampunda mpe mampinga ya Faraon oyo elandaki bana ya Isalaele kati na ebale monene. Moko te kati na bango abikaki.
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;
Kasi bana ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
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,
Na mokolo wana, Yawe abikisaki bana ya Isalaele liboso ya bato ya Ejipito mpe bana ya Isalaele bamonaki bibembe ya bato ya Ejipito etandami na libongo ya ebale monene.
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.
Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki nguya monene oyo Yawe atalisaki liboso ya bato ya Ejipito, babangaki Yawe mpe batiaki elikya na bango kati na Ye mpe kati na mosali na Ye Moyize.
