Mose 2 14
1 Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And YHWH speaks to 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,
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba‘al-Zephon; you encamp in front of it by the sea,
3 elabena Farao abu be, ‘Israelvi mawo xaxa ɖe ƒu la kple gbegbe la dome!’
and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
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 have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he has pursued after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH”; and they do 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?”
And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people have 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?”
6 Ale Farao na wodzra eƒe tasiaɖam ɖo nɛ, eye wòkplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ ɖe asi.
And he harnesses his chariot, and he has taken 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 he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
8 Yehowa na Egipte fia Farao ƒe dzi me sẽ ɖe edzi, ale wòti Israelvi siwo nɔ azɔli dzi dzideƒotɔe la yome.
and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursues after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high 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 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 Ba‘al-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 Pharaoh has drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
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 say to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in a wilderness? What is this you have done to us—to bring us out from 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!”
Is this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for [it is] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?”
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.
And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, station yourselves, and see the salvation of YHWH, which He does for you today; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you add no more to see them for all time;
14 Yehowa awɔ aʋa na mi; miawo ya mizi kpoo nɛ ko.”
YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
15 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Nu ka ŋuti nèle ɣli dom nam? Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woaɖe zɔ, ayi ŋgɔ
And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
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 you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand toward the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
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—behold, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, by his chariots, and by his horsemen;
18 Egiptetɔwo anya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne mekɔ nye ŋkɔ ŋuti to Farao, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple eƒe sɔdolawo dzi.”
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by 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 Messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeys and goes at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeys from their front, and stands at their rear,
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 comes in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlightens the night, and the one has not drawn near to the other all the night.
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 stretches out his hand toward the sea, and YHWH causes the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and makes the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
22 eye Israelviwo zɔ to atsiaƒu la me le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi, ale tsi la zu gli ɖe woƒe ɖusime kple miame.
and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left.
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 pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) into the midst of the sea,
24 Ke le ŋdi kanya la, Yehowa kplɔ Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la to dzo bibi la me, eye wòde tɔtɔ wo dome.
and it comes to pass, in the morning watch, that YHWH looks to the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubles the camp of the Egyptians,
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!”
and turns 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 YHWH is fighting 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.”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on 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.
And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and the sea turns back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and YHWH shakes off the Egyptians in the midst 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.
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 has not been left even one of them.
29 Israelviwo zɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi hetso ƒu la, esime tsi la trɔ zu gli ɖe woƒe ɖusime kple miame.
And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right 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.
and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
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 sees the great hand with which YHWH has worked against the Egyptians, and the people fear YHWH, and remain steadfast in YHWH, and in His servant Moses.
