< Mose 2 14 >
1 Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woatrɔ aɖo ta Pi Hahirɔt, le Migdol kple atsiaƒu la dome le Baal Zefon ŋgɔ, eye woaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe ƒu la nu,
Speake to the children of Israel, that they returne and campe before Pi-hahiroth, betweene Migdol and the Sea, ouer against Baal-zephon: about it shall ye campe by the Sea.
3 elabena Farao abu be, ‘Israelvi mawo xaxa ɖe ƒu la kple gbegbe la dome!’
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
4 Magana Farao nagasẽ dzi me, eye wòati mia yome. Mewɔ ɖoɖo sia ale be makpɔ bubu kple ŋutikɔkɔe gã ɖe Farao kple eƒe aʋakɔ dzi. Ale Egiptetɔwo anya be nyee nye Yehowa.” Ale woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi si Mose fia wo la.
And I will harden Pharaohs heart that hee shall follow after you: so I will get mee honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his hoste: the Egyptians also shall knowe that I am the Lord: and they did so.
5 Esi Egipte fia se be Israelviwo meɖo ta me be yewoagbugbɔ va Egipte le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe o, ke boŋ yewoayi mɔzɔzɔ dzi la, Farao kple eŋumewo ƒe mo nyra, eye dzi gaɖo wo ƒo. Wobia be, “Nu kae nye esi míewɔ be míeɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu wodzo eye míebu woƒe subɔsubɔdɔ nyuitɔwo?”
Then it was told the King of Egypt, that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his seruants was turned against the people, and they sayde, Why haue we this done, and haue let Israel go out of our seruice?
6 Ale Farao na wodzra eƒe tasiaɖam ɖo nɛ, eye wòkplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ ɖe asi.
And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
7 Etia tasiaɖam nyuitɔ alafa ade kpe ɖe tasiaɖam bubu siwo katã nɔ Egipte la ŋu, eye wòtsɔ asrafomegãwo ɖo ɖe sia ɖe nu.
And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
8 Yehowa na Egipte fia Farao ƒe dzi me sẽ ɖe edzi, ale wòti Israelvi siwo nɔ azɔli dzi dzideƒotɔe la yome.
(For the Lord had hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he followed after the children of Israel: but the children of Israel went out with an hie hand)
9 Wowɔ Farao ƒe sɔwo, tasiaɖamwo, sɔdolawo kple aʋawɔla bubuawo katã ŋu dɔ le wo yometiti me. Egiptetɔwo va tu Israelviwo, esi woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe ƒu la to, te ɖe Pi Hahirɔt ŋu le Baal Zefon ŋgɔ.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and all the horses and charets of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his hoste ouertooke them camping by the Sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 Esi Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gbɔna la, Israelviwo kpɔ wo ɖaa le adzɔge ke, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ŋutɔ. Wodo ɣli na Yehowa be wòakpe ɖe yewo ŋu.
And when Pharaoh drew nie, the children of Israel lift vp their eyes, and beholde, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were sore afrayde: wherefore the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord.
11 Wotrɔ ɖe Mose gbɔ helĩ liʋĩliʋĩ be, “Ɖe nèkplɔ mí va afi sia be míaku ɖe gbedzi, elabena yɔdowo mele Egipte oa? Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ be nèkplɔ mí do goe tso Egipte?
And they sayde vnto Moses, Hast thou brought vs to die in the wildernes, because there were no graues in Egypt? wherefore hast thou serued vs thus, to carie vs out of Egypt?
12 “Menye esiae míegblɔ na wò esime míenɔ Egipte la be, ‘Ɖe asi le mía ŋu kpoo ne míasubɔ Egiptetɔwo’ oa? Anyo na mí be míasubɔ Egiptetɔwo wu be míaku ɖe gbegbe!”
Did not wee tell thee this thing in Egypt, saying, Let vs be in rest, that we may serue the Egyptians? for it had bene better for vs to serue the Egyptians, then that wee shoulde dye in the wildernesse.
13 Ke Mose ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o, minɔ te ɖe afi si miele la ko, milé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu, eye miakpɔ nukumɔ si dzi Yehowa aɖe mi toe egbe la ɖa. Egiptetɔ siwo kpɔm miele fifia la, miagakpɔ wo akpɔ o.
Then Moses sayde to the people, Feare ye not, stand still, and beholde the saluation of the Lord which he will shew to you this day. For the Egyptians, whome ye haue seene this day, ye shall neuer see them againe.
14 Yehowa awɔ aʋa na mi; miawo ya mizi kpoo nɛ ko.”
The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
15 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Nu ka ŋuti nèle ɣli dom nam? Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woaɖe zɔ, ayi ŋgɔ
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
16 Do wò atikplɔ la ɖe dzi, eye nàdo wò asi ɖe atsiaƒu la dzi be atsiaƒutsi la nama ɖe eve, ale be Israelviwo nato atsiaƒu la me ayi le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
And lift thou vp thy rod, and stretche out thine hand vpon the Sea and deuide it, and let the children of Israel goe on drie ground thorow the middes of the Sea.
17 Mana Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzi me nasẽ be woadze Israelviwo yome, eye makɔ nye ŋkɔ ŋuti to Farao kple eƒe aʋakɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo dzi.
And I, beholde, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, that they may follow them, and I wil get me honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his host, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
18 Egiptetɔwo anya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne mekɔ nye ŋkɔ ŋuti to Farao, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple eƒe sɔdolawo dzi.”
Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue gotten me honour vpon Pharaoh, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
19 Mawudɔla si nɔ Israelviwo kplɔm la trɔ yi Israelviwo megbe, nenema ke lilikpo dodo si nɔ wo ŋgɔ la hã trɔ yi wo megbe,
(And the Angel of God, which went before the hoste of Israel, remoued and went behinde them: also the pillar of the cloude went from before them, and stoode behinde them,
20 ale wòtɔ ɖe Egipte ƒe aʋakɔwo kple Israelviwo dome. Le zã blibo la me la, lilikpo la na viviti do ɖe akpa ɖeka, eye kekeli do ɖe akpa kemɛ, ale wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ɖe nɔvia ŋu le zã blibo la me o.
And came betweene the campe of the Egyptians and the campe of Israel: it was both a cloude and darkenes, yet gaue it light by night, so that all the night long the one came not at the other)
21 Tete Mose tsɔ eƒe asi do ɖe ƒu la dzi. Ale zã blibo la Yehowa tutu atsiaƒu la ɖe megbe to ɣedzeƒeya sesẽ aɖe dzi, eye wòna anyigba ƒuƒui dze. Tsi la ma ɖe akpa eve,
And Moses stretched forth his hande vpon the Sea, and the Lord caused the sea to runne backe by a strong East winde all the night, and made the Sea dry land: for the waters were deuided.
22 eye Israelviwo zɔ to atsiaƒu la me le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi, ale tsi la zu gli ɖe woƒe ɖusime kple miame.
Then the children of Israel went through the middes of the Sea vpon the drie ground, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hand, and on their left hand.
23 Egiptetɔwo, Farao ƒe sɔwo, tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo dze wo yome to atsiaƒu la ƒe gliwo me, eye woawo hã wonɔ atsiaƒu la ƒe ƒuƒuiƒe zɔm.
And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
24 Ke le ŋdi kanya la, Yehowa kplɔ Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la to dzo bibi la me, eye wòde tɔtɔ wo dome.
Nowe in the morning watche, when the Lord looked vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, out of the firie and cloudie pillar, he strooke the host of the Egyptians with feare.
25 Woƒe tasiaɖamwo ƒe afɔwo de asi dodo me le wo te. Ale woƒe tasiaɖamwo de asi anyigbatete me. Egiptetɔwo do ɣli be, “Mina míadzo le Israel nu. Yehowa le aʋa wɔm kpli mí na wo!”
For he tooke off their charet wheeles, and they draue them with much a doe: so that the Egyptians euery one sayd, I wil flee from the face of Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gada wò asi ɖe atsiaƒu la dzi ale be tsigliawo namu adze Egiptetɔwo, woƒe tasiaɖamwo kple woƒe sɔdolawo dzi.”
Then the Lord sayde to Moses, Stretche thine hand vpon the Sea, that the waters may returne vpon the Egyptians, vpon their charets and vpon their horsemen.
27 Mose wɔ alea, eye esi ŋu ke la, atsiaƒu la gazu abe ale si wònɔ tsã ene. Egiptetɔwo dze agbagba be yewoasi, ke Yehowa na atsiaƒutsi la ŋe tsyɔ wo dzi.
Then Moses stretched forth his hand vpon the Sea, and the Sea returned to his force early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it: but the Lord ouerthrew the Egyptians in the mids of the Sea.
28 Ale tsi la gbugbɔ yi enɔƒe hetsyɔ tasiaɖamwo, sɔdolawo kple Farao ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la, si dze Israelviwo yome ge ɖe atsiaƒu la me dzi. Wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o.
So the water returned and couered the charets and the horsemen, euen all the hoste of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them: there remained not one of them.
29 Israelviwo zɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi hetso ƒu la, esime tsi la trɔ zu gli ɖe woƒe ɖusime kple miame.
But the children of Israel walked vpon dry land thorowe the middes of the Sea, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hande, and on their left.
30 Ale Yehowa ɖe Israelviwo gbe ma gbe tso Egiptetɔwo ƒe asi me. Israelviwo kpɔ Egiptetɔwo woku, eye atsiaƒu la ɖe woƒe kukuawo ƒu gbe ɖe gota.
Thus the Lord saued Israel the same day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the Sea banke.
31 Esime Israelviwo kpɔ nukunu triakɔ si Yehowa wɔ na wo ɖe Egiptetɔwo ŋu la, wovɔ̃, wode bubu Yehowa ŋu, eye woxɔ eya kple eƒe dɔla Mose dzi se.
And Israel saw the mightie power, which the Lord shewed vpon the Egyptians: so the people feared the Lord, and beleeued the Lord, and his seruant Moses.
