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/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; 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.
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
3 Jehova nĩ njamba ya ita; Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
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 has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
5 Maaĩ marĩa mariku nĩmamathikĩte; Nao magakĩrikĩra kũrĩa kũriku ta ihiga.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 “Wee Jehova, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kwarĩ gwa kũgegania, gũkagĩa hinya. Wee Jehova, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo nĩ gwathuthangire thũ.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũnene waku wa magegania, nĩwakurumanirie arĩa magũũkĩrĩire. Nĩwaitũrũrire marakara maku mahiũ; makĩmacina taarĩ mahuti.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
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 on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
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.’
[Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
10 No wahuhire rũhuho rũkĩhurutana, narĩo iria rĩkĩmathika, makĩrika ta kĩgera maaĩ-inĩ maingĩ.
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
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?
Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
12 Watambũrũkirie guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo, nayo thĩ ĩkĩmameria.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 “Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga, nĩũgũtongoria andũ arĩa ũkũũrĩte. Nĩũkamatongoria na ũndũ wa hinya waku, ũmatware nginya gĩikaro gĩaku gĩtheru.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Ndũrĩrĩ ikaigua, nacio ciinaine; ruo rũnyiite andũ a Filistia.
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 Aathani a Edomu nĩmakamaka mũno, na atongoria a Moabi manyiitwo nĩ kũinaina, andũ a Kaanani makaiyũrwo nĩ maaĩ nda;
The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
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.
They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
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.
to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
18 Jehova agaathamaka tene na tene.”
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
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.
The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
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.
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
21 Miriamu akĩmainĩra atĩrĩ: “Inĩrai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno. Mbarathi amĩikĩtie iria-inĩ, hamwe na mũmĩhaici.”
and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. 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/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
23 Rĩrĩa maakinyire Mara, matingĩahotire kũnyua maaĩ makuo tondũ maarĩ marũrũ. (Nĩkĩo handũ hau hetagwo Mara.)
So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ magĩtetia Musa, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũkũnyua kĩ?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “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.
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey 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.”
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
27 Ningĩ magĩkinya Elimu, harĩa haarĩ ithima ikũmi na igĩrĩ, na mĩtende mĩrongo mũgwanja, nao makĩamba hema hau hakuhĩ na maaĩ.
[After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
