Mose 2 14
1 Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], 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 children of Israel [God prevails], that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 elabena Farao abu be, ‘Israelvi mawo xaxa ɖe ƒu la kple gbegbe la dome!’
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has 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.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] shall know that I am Adonai.” 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?”
The king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel [God prevails] go from serving us?”
6 Ale Farao na wodzra eƒe tasiaɖam ɖo nɛ, eye wòkplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ ɖe asi.
He prepared his chariot, and took his army 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 took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and captains over all them.
8 Yehowa na Egipte fia Farao ƒe dzi me sẽ ɖe edzi, ale wòti Israelvi siwo nɔ azɔli dzi dzideƒotɔe la yome.
Adonai hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and he pursued the children of Israel [God prevails]; for the children of Israel [God prevails] went 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.
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, 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.
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel [God prevails] lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel [God prevails] cried out to Adonai.
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?
They said to Moses [Drawn out], “Because there were no graves in Egypt [Abode of slavery], have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]?
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 not this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt [Abode of slavery], saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may abad ·serve· the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]?’ For it were better for us to abad ·serve· the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], than that we should die in the 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.
Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the yishu'ah ·salvation· of Adonai, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.
14 Yehowa awɔ aʋa na mi; miawo ya mizi kpoo nɛ ko.”
Adonai will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Nu ka ŋuti nèle ɣli dom nam? Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woaɖe zɔ, ayi ŋgɔ
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], 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.
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel [God prevails] shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
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.
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 Egiptetɔwo anya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne mekɔ nye ŋkɔ ŋuti to Farao, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple eƒe sɔdolawo dzi.”
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] shall know that I am Adonai, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over 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,
Ha mal'ak Elohim [The Angel of God], who went before the camp of Israel [God prevails], moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind 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.
It came between the camp of Egypt [Abode of slavery] and the camp of Israel [God prevails]; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and one didn’t come near the other all 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,
Moses [Drawn out] stretched out his hand over the sea, and Adonai caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 eye Israelviwo zɔ to atsiaƒu la me le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi, ale tsi la zu gli ɖe woƒe ɖusime kple miame.
The children of Israel [God prevails] went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, 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.
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, 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.
In the morning watch, Adonai looked out on the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] army.
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!”
He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel [God prevails], for Adonai fights for them against the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]!”
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.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], 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.
Moses [Drawn out] stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea teshuvah ·completely returned· to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] fled against it. Adonai overthrew the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] in the middle 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.
The waters teshuvah ·completely returned·, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as 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 [God prevails] walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, 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 Adonai saved Israel [God prevails] that day out of the hand of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]; and Israel [God prevails] saw the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] 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.
Israel [God prevails] saw the great work which Adonai did to the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and the people feared Adonai; and they believed in Adonai, and in his servant Moses [Drawn out].
