< Exodus 15 >

1 Then singeth Moses and the sons of Israel this song to Jehovah, and they speak, saying: — 'I sing to Jehovah, For triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath thrown into the sea.
Na Mose ne Israelfo no too saa dwom yi de kamfoo Awurade: “Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, efisɛ wadi nkonim anuonyam mu; Watow ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefo no agu po mu.
2 My strength and song is JAH, And He is become my salvation: This [is] my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I exalt Him.
“Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden, me dwom ne me nkwagye. Ɔyɛ me Nyankopɔn, na mɛkamfo no. Ɔyɛ mʼagya Nyankopɔn, mɛma no so.
3 Jehovah [is] a man of battle; Jehovah [is] His name.
Awurade yɛ ɔkofo; ne din ne Awurade.
4 Chariots of Pharaoh and his force He hath cast into the sea; And the choice of his captains Have sunk in the Red Sea!
Farao nteaseɛnam ne nʼakofo, watow wɔn agu po mu. Wɔamemem wɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ mu. Misraim akofo atitiriw awuwu asorɔkye ase.
5 The depths do cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.
Nsu akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem asubun mu sɛ ɔbo.
6 Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Is become honourable in power; Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Doth crush an enemy.
Wo nsa nifa, Awurade, tumi ne anuonyam ahyɛ no ma; wo nsa nifa, Awurade, atetew atamfo mu pasaa.
7 And in the abundance of Thine excellency Thou throwest down Thy withstanders, Thou sendest forth Thy wrath — It consumeth them as stubble.
“Wo tumi kɛse no mu na wonam tuu wɔn a wotia wo no gui. Womaa wʼabufuw bɛhyew wɔn sɛnea ogya hyew sare.
8 And by the spirit of Thine anger Have waters been heaped together; Stood as a heap have flowings; Congealed have been depths In the heart of a sea.
Wugu ahome a, nsu mu pae. Egyinaa sɛ afasu maa po taa fa ne fa.
9 The enemy said, I pursue, I overtake; I apportion spoil; Filled is my soul with them; I draw out my sword; My hand destroyeth them: —
Ɔtamfo kae se, ‘Mɛtaa wɔn, mɛto wɔn, asɛe wɔn. Mɛtwe mʼafoa wɔ wɔn so atwitwa wɔn asinasin.’
10 Thou hast blown with Thy wind The sea hath covered them; They sank as lead in mighty waters.
Nanso Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa ma po kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subun no mu.
11 Who [is] like Thee among the gods, O Jehovah? Who [is] like Thee — honourable in holiness — Fearful in praises — doing wonders?
Hena na ɔte sɛ Awurade wɔ anyame mu? Hena na ɔte sɛ wo? Obirɛmpɔn, wɔ kronkronyɛ mu; nea yɛde osuro kronkron ma nʼanuonyam, Ɔnwonwani Nyankopɔn.
12 Thou hast stretched out Thy right hand — Earth swalloweth them!
“Woteɛɛ wo nsa nifa na asase menee wɔn.
13 Thou hast led forth in Thy kindness The people whom Thou hast redeemed. Thou hast led on in Thy strength Unto Thy holy habitation.
Woadi nnipa a wugyee wɔn no anim. Wʼayamye mu, wubedi wo nkurɔfo a woagye wɔn anim. Wʼahoɔden mu, wobɛkyerɛ wɔn kwan akɔ wo tenabea kronkron hɔ.
14 Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain hath seized inhabitants of Philistia.
Amanaman bɛte ama wɔn ho apopo. Ehu bɛka nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia.
15 Then have chiefs of Edom been troubled: Mighty ones of Moab — Trembling doth seize them! Melted have all inhabitants of Canaan!
Edom mpanyimfo besuro. Atumfo a wɔwɔ Moab ho bɛwosow. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa bɛbɔ huboa.
16 Fall on them doth terror and dread; By the greatness of Thine arm They are still as a stone, Till Thy people pass over, O Jehovah; Till the people pass over Whom Thou hast purchased.
Ehu ne suro bɛtɔ wɔn so. Awurade, wo tumi nti, wɔremma yɛn so! Wo nkurɔfo a wotɔɔ wɔn Betwa wɔn ho asomdwoe mu.
17 Thou dost bring them in, And dost plant them In a mountain of Thine inheritance, A fixed place for Thy dwelling Thou hast made, O Jehovah; A sanctuary, O Lord, Thy hands have established;
Wode wɔn bɛba abedua wɔn wɔ wo bepɔw so, wo ara wo fi hɔ, Awurade— Kronkronbea a woasiesie sɛ wo tenabea no.
18 Jehovah reigneth — to the age, and for ever!'
“Awurade bedi hene akosi daa.”
19 For the horse of Pharaoh hath gone in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah turneth back on them the waters of the sea, and the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Farao apɔnkɔ, nʼapɔnkɔkafo ne ne nteaseɛnam pɛɛ sɛ wɔfa po no mu; nanso Awurade buu nsu afasu no guu wɔn so bere a na Israelfo no nam mu sɛ asase wosee so.
20 And Miriam the inspired one, sister of Aaron, taketh the timbrel in her hand, and all the women go out after her, with timbrels and with choruses;
Ɛhɔ na Odiyifobea Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabea faa akyene bi bɔ de dii mmea no anim ma wɔsawee.
21 and Miriam answereth to them: — 'Sing ye to Jehovah, For Triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath thrown into the sea!'
Ɛnna Miriam too saa dwom yi: “Monto dwom mma Awurade na wadi nkonim anuonyam mu. Wama ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefo amem po ase.”
22 And Moses causeth Israel to journey from the Red Sea, and they go out unto the wilderness of Shur, and they go three days in the wilderness, and have not found water,
Afei, Mose dii Israelfo no anim ne wɔn tu fii Po Kɔkɔɔ no ho kɔɔ Sur sare so. Na wɔnantew sare no so nnansa a wɔannya nsu annom.
23 and they come in to Marah, and have not been able to drink the waters of Marah, for they [are] bitter; therefore hath [one] called its name Marah.
Woduu Mara no, wɔantumi annom ɛhɔ nsu, efisɛ na ɛyɛ nwene. Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mara no; ase ne: Nweenwen.
24 And the people murmur against Moses, saying, 'What do we drink?'
Enti nnipa no nwiinwii tiaa Mose sɛ, “Dɛn na yɛnnom?”
25 and he crieth unto Jehovah, and Jehovah sheweth him a tree, and he casteth unto the waters, and the waters become sweet. There He hath made for them a statute, and an ordinance, and there He hath tried them,
Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn, na Awurade kyerɛɛ no dubaa bi. Na ɔtow too nsu no mu, na ɛyɛɛ dɛ maa wotumi nomee. Mara hɔ na Awurade hyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa wɔn se,
26 and He saith, 'If thou dost really hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and dost that which is right in His eyes, and hast hearkened to His commands, and kept all His statutes: none of the sickness which I laid on the Egyptians do I lay on thee, for I, Jehovah, am healing thee.
“Sɛ mubetie Awurade mo Nyankopɔn nne, na moayɛ osetie ayɛ ade trenee de a, ɔyare a mema ɛbɔɔ Misraimfo no, meremma bi mmɔ mo, efisɛ mene Awurade a mesa mo nyarewa.”
27 And they come to Elim, and there [are] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamp there by the waters.
Wɔbaa Elim a ɛhɔ na na mmura dumien ne mmedua aduɔson wɔ, nti wosisii wɔn ntamadan, tenaa mmura no ho.
