< Thaama 15 >
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa na andũ a Isiraeli makĩinĩra Jehova rwĩmbo rũrũ: “Nĩngũinĩra Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno. Mbarathi amĩikĩtie iria-inĩ hamwe na mũmĩhaici.
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.
2 Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa na rwĩmbo rwakwa; nĩwe ũtuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa. Nĩwe Ngai wakwa na nĩndĩĩmũgoocaga, Nĩwe Ngai wa baba na nĩndĩĩmũtũũgagĩria.
The Lord gives me strength. He is the theme of my song. He saves me. He is my God, and I will praise him. He is my father's God, and I will honor him.
3 Jehova nĩ njamba ya ita; Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake.
The Lord is like a warrior. His name is the Lord.
4 Ngaari cia ita cia Firaũni na mbũtũ yake aamĩikirie iria-inĩ. Anene arĩa ega mũno a Firaũni moorĩire maaĩ-inĩ ma Iria Itune.
He threw Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. Pharaoh's best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
5 Maaĩ marĩa mariku nĩmamathikĩte; Nao magakĩrikĩra kũrĩa kũriku ta ihiga.
The flooding water covered them. They dropped down into the depths like a stone.
6 “Wee Jehova, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kwarĩ gwa kũgegania, gũkagĩa hinya. Wee Jehova, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo nĩ gwathuthangire thũ.
Your power, Lord, is truly amazing! Your power, Lord, crushed the enemy.
7 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũnene waku wa magegania, nĩwakurumanirie arĩa magũũkĩrĩire. Nĩwaitũrũrire marakara maku mahiũ; makĩmacina taarĩ mahuti.
By your majestic power you destroyed those who opposed you. Your anger blazed out and burned them up like stubble.
8 Na ũndũ wa mũrurumo wa mĩhũmũ ya maniũrũ maku-rĩ, maaĩ nĩmeiganĩrĩire hĩba. Makũmbĩ ma maaĩ makĩrũgama ta rũthingo; maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku makĩnyiitana gatagatĩ ka iria.
You blew and the sea piled up. The waves stood straight like a wall. The depths of the ocean turned solid.
9 “Thũ nayo yetĩĩte, ĩkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngamarũmĩrĩra na ihenya, ndĩmakinyĩre. Ngagayania indo iria matahĩte, ndĩĩhũũnĩrĩrie nacio. Nĩngũcomora rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora, nakuo guoko gwakwa kũmaniine.’
The enemy bragged, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will divide the plunder. I will eat them alive. I will swing my sword. By my hand I will destroy them.’
10 No wahuhire rũhuho rũkĩhurutana, narĩo iria rĩkĩmathika, makĩrika ta kĩgera maaĩ-inĩ maingĩ.
But you blew with your breath and the sea swept over them. They sank down like lead in the swirling waters.
11 “Wee Jehova-rĩ, nũũ ũhaana tawe harĩ ngai ciothe? Nũũ ũhaana tawe, wee ũrĩ ũtheru wa magegania, wee wĩtigĩrĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa riiri waku, wee wĩkaga maũndũ ma magegania?
Who is like you among the gods, Lord? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in wonder, doing miracles?
12 Watambũrũkirie guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo, nayo thĩ ĩkĩmameria.
You acted, and the earth swallowed the Egyptians.
13 “Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga, nĩũgũtongoria andũ arĩa ũkũũrĩte. Nĩũkamatongoria na ũndũ wa hinya waku, ũmatware nginya gĩikaro gĩaku gĩtheru.
You led the people you saved with your trustworthy love. You will guide them in your strength to your holy home.
14 Ndũrĩrĩ ikaigua, nacio ciinaine; ruo rũnyiite andũ a Filistia.
The nations will hear what has happened and will shake with fear. The people who live in Philistia will experience agonizing distress.
15 Aathani a Edomu nĩmakamaka mũno, na atongoria a Moabi manyiitwo nĩ kũinaina, andũ a Kaanani makaiyũrwo nĩ maaĩ nda;
The Edomite chiefs will be terrified. The Moabite leaders will tremble. The people living in Canaan will melt away in panic.
16 guoya na kĩmako nĩikamakinyĩrĩra. Na ũndũ wa hinya wa guoko gwaku-rĩ, makahaana ta ihiga matekwĩnyagunyia, nginya andũ aku, Wee Jehova, maringe, nginya andũ arĩa wegũrĩire maringe.
Terror and fright will fall on them. Lord, because of your great power, they will be as still as stone until your people pass by, until the people you bought pass by.
17 Ũkaamarehe thĩinĩ na ũmahaande kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa igai rĩaku, o handũ harĩa, Wee Jehova, wombire hatuĩke gĩikaro gĩaku, handũ-harĩa-haamũre, harĩa Wee Jehova, wahaandire na moko maku.
You will take your people and plant them on the mountain that you own, the place that you, Lord, have prepared as your home, the sanctuary that your hands have built, Lord.
18 Jehova agaathamaka tene na tene.”
The Lord will reign forever and ever!”
19 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mbarathi cia Firaũni, na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi maatoonyire iria-inĩ-rĩ, Jehova agĩcookania maaĩ ma iria, makĩmathika. No rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli maatuĩkanirie iria-inĩ mathiĩrĩire thĩ nyũmũ.
When Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the water rushing back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
20 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Miriamu ũrĩa mũnabii mũndũ-wa-nja, mwarĩ wa nyina na Harũni, akĩoya kĩhembe gĩa kũinio, nao atumia othe makĩmuuma thuutha marĩ na ihembe ciao makĩinaga.
Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, picked up a tambourine, and all the women followed her dancing and playing tambourines.
21 Miriamu akĩmainĩra atĩrĩ: “Inĩrai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno. Mbarathi amĩikĩtie iria-inĩ, hamwe na mũmĩhaici.”
Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
22 Ningĩ Musa agĩtongoria Isiraeli kuuma Iria Itune magĩthiĩ Werũ wa Shuri. Magĩthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ werũ-inĩ na matekuona maaĩ.
Then Moses led Israel away from the Red Sea and into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert but couldn't find any water.
23 Rĩrĩa maakinyire Mara, matingĩahotire kũnyua maaĩ makuo tondũ maarĩ marũrũ. (Nĩkĩo handũ hau hetagwo Mara.)
When they arrived at Marah, the water there was too bitter to drink. (That's why the place is called Marah.)
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ magĩtetia Musa, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũkũnyua kĩ?”
So the people complained to Moses, asking, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Nake Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmuonia kamũtĩ. Agĩgaikia maaĩ-inĩ, namo makĩgĩa mũcamo mwega. O hau Jehova agĩathana, akĩmathondekera watho na uuge wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, na akĩmagereria ho.
Moses called out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. When he threw it into the water, it became sweet. There the Lord gave them rules and instructions and also tested their loyalty to him.
26 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩthikĩrĩria mũgambo wa Jehova Ngai wanyu wega, na mwĩke maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ make, mũngĩrũmbũiya maathani make na mũmenyerere wathani wake wothe-rĩ, ndikamũrehera mũrimũ o na ũmwe wa ĩrĩa ndareheire andũ a Misiri, nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, ũrĩa ũmũhonagia.”
He told them, “If you pay attention to what the Lord your God says, do what is right in his sight, obey his commands, and keep all his regulations, then I will not make you suffer from any of the diseases I gave the Egyptians because I am the Lord who heals you.”
27 Ningĩ magĩkinya Elimu, harĩa haarĩ ithima ikũmi na igĩrĩ, na mĩtende mĩrongo mũgwanja, nao makĩamba hema hau hakuhĩ na maaĩ.
Then they traveled on to Elim, which had twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They set up camp there beside the water.
