Mose 2 15
1 Mose kple Israelviwo dzi kafukafuha sia na Yehowa be, “Madzi ha na Yehowa, elabena wodo eya amea ɖe dzi bobobo. Etsɔ sɔ kple sɔdola siaa de atsiaƒu la me.
Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.
2 “Yehowae nye nye ŋusẽ kple xɔnametɔ, eya gbɔ ɖeɖe tso va nam. Eyae nye nye Mawu, eya ta makafui. Eyae nye fofonye ƒe Mawu, eya ta madoe ɖe dzi.
The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.
3 Yehowa nye aʋawɔla, Ɛ̃, eŋkɔe nye Yehowa.
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
4 Ede Farao ƒe tasiaɖamwo kple aʋakɔwo ƒu, eye wònyrɔ wo ɖe atsiaƒu la me. Farao ƒe aʋakplɔla xɔŋkɔwo nyrɔ ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la me.
Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.
5 Atsiaƒutsi la tsyɔ wo dzi. Wodze to ɖe atsiaƒu la te abe kpe ene.
They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.
6 O, Yehowa, wò nuɖusibɔ wɔ kalẽ. O, Yehowa, wò nuɖusibɔ kaka futɔwo hlẽ.
Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.
7 “Le wò fianyenye ƒe gãnyenye me, ètsɔ ame siwo tsi tsitre ɖe ŋuwò la ƒu anyi. Èɖe asi le wò dziku bibi la ŋu, eye wòfia wo abe gbe ƒuƒu ene.
When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.
8 Wò ŋɔtimegbɔgbɔ do, eye wòna tsiawo ƒu kpo. Tsi sisi la nɔ te, eye wòlé akpa aveawo ɖe te abe gli ene, eye tsi goglo la zi ɖoɖoe le atsiaƒu la titina.
By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.
9 Futɔ la gblɔ dadatɔe be, ‘Mati wo yome, matu wo, mama woƒe afunyinuwo. Mana nye didi ɖe wo ŋuti nava eme. Maɖe nye yi tso aku me, eye nye asi atsrɔ̃ wo.’
Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.
10 Ke wò la, ègbɔ wò gbɔgbɔ, eye ƒu la ŋe tsyɔ wo dzi. Wodze to abe asabukpe ene ɖe tsi gã la te.
You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.
11 “O, Yehowa, ame kae le abe wò ene le mawuwo dome? Ame kae le abe wò ene le kɔkɔenyenye kɔkɔtɔ me, le ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ŋɔdzi me, eye wòwɔa nukudɔwo?
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
12 Èdo wò nuɖusi ɖa, eye anyigba mi wo.
When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.
13 “Àkplɔ ame siwo nèɖe la le wò lɔlɔ̃ mavɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ me. Le wò ŋusẽ me, àkplɔ wo ayi wò nɔƒe kɔkɔe lae.
In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.
14 Dukɔwo ase nya si dzɔ, woadzo nyanyanya; vɔvɔ̃ aɖo Filistitɔwo.
Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.
15 Ŋɔdzi alé Edom fiawo, eye Moab ƒe kplɔlawo anɔ dzodzom nyanyanya, Kanaantɔwo hã ƒe dzi alolõ.
The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.
16 Ŋɔdzi kple vɔvɔ̃ adze wo dzi. Woatrɔ azu kpe, le wò abɔ ƒe ŋusẽ ta, va se ɖe esime wò amewo atso eme ava ayi. O, Yehowa, va se ɖe esime wò ame siwo nèƒle la, atso eme ava yi.
Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.
17 Wò la, àkplɔ wo aɖo wo te le wò to si nye wò domenyinu la dzi. O, Yehowa, teƒe si nèwɔ be wòanye wò nɔƒe la, Aƒetɔ, Kɔkɔeƒe si nètsɔ wò ŋutɔ wò asiwo wɔe la.
You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.
18 “Yehowa aɖu fia tegbetegbe!”
The Lord is King for ever and ever.
19 Farao ƒe sɔwo, eƒe sɔdolawo kple woƒe tasiaɖamwo kplɔ wo ɖo to atsiaƒu la me. Ke Yehowa na tsigliawo mu gbagbã tsyɔ wo dzi, le esime Israelviwo zɔ ƒuƒuiƒe to wo me.
For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.
20 Nyagblɔɖila Miriam, Aron nɔvinyɔnu ƒo axatsɛ, eye wònɔ ŋgɔ na nyɔnuawo woɖu ɣe.
And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.
21 Eye Miriam dzi ha sia: “Midzi ha na Yehowa, elabena eɖu dzi ŋusẽtɔe. Ede sɔ kple sɔdola atsiaƒu la me.”
And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.
22 Azɔ la, Mose kplɔ Israelviwo to Ƒu Dzĩ la nu, eye woyi Sur gbedzi. Wonɔ afi ma ŋkeke etɔ̃, ke womekpɔ tsi woano o.
Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.
23 Esi wova ɖo Mara la, womete ŋu no tsi le afi ma o, elabena tsi la le vevem. (Esia ta woyɔa teƒe ma be Mara.)
And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.
24 Israelviwo lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le Mose ŋu. Wobiae be, “Ɖe míaku le tsikɔwuame taa?”
And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?
25 Mose ɖe kuku na Yehowa be wòakpe ɖe yewo ŋu. Yehowa fia ati aɖee wòtsɔ da ɖe tsi la me, eye tsi veve la trɔ zu tsi nyui. Le Mara la, Yehowa de se siawo na wo be yeado woƒe ɖokuitsɔtsɔ na ye akpɔ.
And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;
26 “Ne miaɖo to Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe gbe, miawɔ nu si dza le eƒe ŋkume, eye miawɔ eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi la, ekema nyemana dɔléle siwo mena wova Egiptetɔwo dzi la nava mia dzi o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, nyee daa gbe le mia ŋu.”
And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.
27 Wova ɖo Elim, afi si vudo wuieve kple deti blaadre le. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi sia ɖe vudoawo to.
And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
