1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli macooke na thuutha, na mambe hema gũkuhĩ na Pi-Hahirothu, gatagatĩ ka Migidoli na iria. Nĩmambe hema hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, kũngʼethanĩra na Baali-Zefoni.
“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 Firaũni nĩageciiria atĩrĩ, ‘andũ a Isiraeli marĩ na kĩrigiicano no kũũrũũra marorũũra bũrũri-inĩ, mahingĩrĩirio nĩ werũ.’
and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
4 Na nĩngomia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake nĩakamaingatithia. No niĩ mwene nĩngegĩĩra na riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita, nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ũguo merĩtwo.
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 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri eerirwo atĩ andũ acio nĩmorĩte-rĩ, Firaũni na anene ake makĩĩricũkwo ũhoro ũcio, magĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Tweka atĩa? Twarekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ na ithuĩ tuorĩrwo nĩ ũtungata wao?”
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga ngaari yake ya ita ĩhaarĩrio, na agĩthiĩ na mbũtũ yake ya ita.
And he harnesses his chariot, and he has taken his people with him,
7 Agĩthiĩ na ngaari cia ita 600 iria njega mũno, o hamwe na ngaari cia ita iria ingĩ ciothe cia bũrũri wa Misiri, ciothe irũgamĩrĩirwo nĩ anene.
and he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
8 Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩrũmĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli na ihenya arĩa moimagarĩte makinyũkĩtie na ũcamba.
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 Andũ a Misiri, hamwe na mbarathi ciothe cia Firaũni na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, na thigari, makĩrũmĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli na ihenya makĩmakinyĩra harĩa maambĩte hema rũteere-inĩ rwa iria, hakuhĩ na Pi-Hahirothu kũngʼethera Baali-Zefoni.
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 Firaũni akuhĩrĩria-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩhũgũra, makĩona andũ a Misiri mamoimĩte thuutha makĩmaka mũno, magĩkaĩra Jehova.
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 Makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mbĩrĩra gũtaarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩguo ũtũrehe tũkuĩre gũkũ werũ-inĩ? Nĩ atĩa ũũ ũtwĩkĩte ũgatũruta bũrũri wa Misiri?
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 Githĩ tũtiakwĩrire tũrĩ o bũrũri wa Misiri atĩ ũtigane na ithuĩ, ũreke tũtungatĩre andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri? Kũngĩarĩ wega tũtungatĩre andũ a Misiri kũrĩ gũkuĩra werũ-inĩ!”
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 Musa agĩcookeria andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Mwĩhaandei wega, na nĩmũkuona ũhonokio ũrĩa Jehova ekũmũrehere ũmũthĩ. Andũ a Misiri aya mũrona ũmũthĩ, mũtikamona rĩngĩ.
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 Jehova nĩekũmũrũĩrĩra, mũbatie o gũikara mũhooreire.”
YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
15 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũrangaĩra nĩkĩ? Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ na mbere.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
16 Oya rũthanju rwaku, na ũtambũrũkie guoko igũrũ wa iria ũgayanie maaĩ nĩgeetha andũ a Isiraeli matuĩkanĩrie iria-inĩ, mathiĩrĩire thĩ nyũmũ.
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 Nĩngũũmia ngoro cia andũ a Misiri nĩgeetha o nao mamarũmĩrĩre. Na nĩngegĩĩra riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni na mbũtũ yake ya ita, o na nĩ ũndũ wa ngaari ciake cia ita, o na andũ ake arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.
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 Nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova hĩndĩ ĩyo ngegĩĩra riiri nĩ ũndũ wa Firaũni, na ngaari ciake cia ita na andũ ake arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.”
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by his horsemen.”
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũraika wa Ngai ũrĩa wathiiaga atongoretie mbũtũ ya thigari cia Isiraeli, akĩehera agĩcooka thuutha wao. Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu nakĩo gĩkiuma hau mbere, gĩkĩrũgama thuutha wao,
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 gĩkĩgĩa gatagatĩ ga thigari cia Misiri na cia Isiraeli. Ũtukũ wothe itu rĩu rĩgĩĩkĩra nduma mwena ũmwe, na ũtheri mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ andũ makuhĩrĩirie arĩa angĩ ũtukũ wothe.
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 Ningĩ Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko igũrũ wa iria, na ũtukũ wothe Jehova agĩtindĩka iria na thuutha na ũndũ wa rũhuho rwa kuuma mwena wa irathĩro, na agĩtũma hau hatuĩke thĩ nyũmũ. Maaĩ macio makĩgayũkana,
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 nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩringa iria mahĩtũkĩire thĩ nyũmũ, maaĩ marũgamĩte mwena wao wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
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 Nao andũ a Misiri makĩmarũmĩrĩra na ihenya, nacio mbarathi ciothe cia Firaũni na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi makĩmarũmĩrĩra nginya iria-inĩ.
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 Rũciinĩ ruoro rũgĩtema-rĩ, Jehova agĩcũthĩrĩria mbũtũ ya ita ya andũ a Misiri arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ kĩa mwaki na gĩa itu, nake akĩmĩrigiica.
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 Agĩtũma magũrũ ma ngaari ciao cia ita macomoke nĩgeetha makorwo na thĩĩna wa gũcitwarithia. Nao andũ a Misiri makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũũrei twehere harĩ andũ aya a Isiraeli! Jehova nĩwe ũramarũĩrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Misiri.”
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 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko igũrũ wa iria nĩgeetha maaĩ macooke mahubanĩrie andũ a Misiri na ngaari ciao cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.”
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 Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ wa iria, na gũgĩkĩa-rĩ, iria rĩgĩcooka gũtherera o ta mbere. Nao andũ a Misiri makĩgeria kũrĩũrĩra, no Jehova akĩmahubanĩria iria-inĩ thĩinĩ.
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 Maaĩ magĩcookana, magĩthika ngaari cia ita na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi; nĩo mbũtũ yothe ya Firaũni ĩrĩa yarũmĩrĩire andũ a Isiraeli iria-inĩ. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao wahonokire.
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 No andũ a Isiraeli maaringire iria magereire njĩra nyũmũ, rũthingo rwa maaĩ rũrũgamĩte mwena wao wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
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 Mũthenya ũcio Jehova akĩhonokia Isiraeli kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ a Misiri, nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩonera ciimba cia andũ a Misiri kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
31 Na rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli moonire hinya mũnene ũrĩa Jehova onirie andũ a Misiri-rĩ, andũ acio magĩĩtigĩra Jehova na makĩmwĩhoka o na makĩĩhoka Musa ndungata yake.
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.
