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 sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast 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 praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.
3 Yehowa nye aʋawɔla, Ɛ̃, eŋkɔe nye Yehowa.
The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty 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.
The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.
5 Atsiaƒutsi la tsyɔ wo dzi. Wodze to ɖe atsiaƒu la te abe kpe ene.
The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.
6 O, Yehowa, wò nuɖusibɔ wɔ kalẽ. O, Yehowa, wò nuɖusibɔ kaka futɔwo hlẽ.
Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.
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.
And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.
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.
And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst 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.’
The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’
10 Ke wò la, ègbɔ wò gbɔgbɔ, eye ƒu la ŋe tsyɔ wo dzi. Wodze to abe asabukpe ene ɖe tsi gã la te.
Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty 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 in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?
12 Èdo wò nuɖusi ɖa, eye anyigba mi wo.
You extended your hand, and the earth devoured 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 have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.
14 Dukɔwo ase nya si dzɔ, woadzo nyanyanya; vɔvɔ̃ aɖo Filistitɔwo.
Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Ŋɔdzi alé Edom fiawo, eye Moab ƒe kplɔlawo anɔ dzodzom nyanyanya, Kanaantɔwo hã ƒe dzi alolõ.
Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.
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.
Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.
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 shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.
18 “Yehowa aɖu fia tegbetegbe!”
The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.
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 rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”
20 Nyagblɔɖila Miriam, Aron nɔvinyɔnu ƒo axatsɛ, eye wònɔ ŋgɔ na nyɔnuawo woɖu ɣe.
And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.
21 Eye Miriam dzi ha sia: “Midzi ha na Yehowa, elabena eɖu dzi ŋusẽtɔe. Ede sɔ kple sɔdola atsiaƒu la me.”
And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown 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 from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found 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 they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.
24 Israelviwo lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le Mose ŋu. Wobiae be, “Ɖe míaku le tsikɔwuame taa?”
And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we 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.
So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,
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.”
saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”
27 Wova ɖo Elim, afi si vudo wuieve kple deti blaadre le. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi sia ɖe vudoawo to.
Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.
