Egzòd 14
1 Bondye pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 -Pale ak pèp Izrayèl la, di yo: Tounen dèyè, moute tant nou devan Pyakiròt, ant Migdòl ak lanmè a, anfas Baalsefon. N'a moute tant nou devan kote sa a, bò lanmè a.
Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
3 Farawon an pral mete nan tèt li pèp Izrayèl la pèdi nan peyi a, yo pa konn kote pou yo fè nan dezè a.
And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
4 M'ap fè farawon an fè tèt di ankò, l'a rapouswiv nou. Men, m'ap bat ni farawon an ni tout lame li yo. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen. Konsa, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè jan Bondye te di yo a.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 Farawon an, wa Lejip la, resevwa rapò. Yo vin di l' pèp la sove ale. Lè sa a, farawon an ak moun pa l' yo chanje lide. Yo di: -Sa nou fè la a? Nou kite yo ale? Yo sove kite travay yo t'ap fè pou nou an?
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
6 Farawon an fè pare cha lagè li. Li pran sòlda li yo ak li.
So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
7 Li pran sisan (600) cha nan sa ki te pi bon yo. Tout lòt cha yo te ale tou. Yo tout te gen sòlda ame sou yo.
having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
8 Seyè a te fèmen kè farawon an, wa Lejip la. Farawon an pran rapouswiv moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te soti kite peyi a devan je tout moun san pesonn pa t' di yo anyen.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
9 Men apre sa, moun peyi Lejip yo pran kouri dèyè yo ak tout chwal yo, tout cha lagè farawon yo, tout kavalye yo. Tout lame yo te dèyè pèp Izrayèl la. Yo jwenn yo kote yo te moute tant yo a, bò lanmè a, toupre Pyakiròt anfas Baalsefon.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
10 Antan farawon an t'ap pwoche, moun Izrayèl yo leve je yo, yo wè moun peyi Lejip yo ki t'ap rapouswiv yo. Yo te pè anpil. Yo pran rele nan pye Seyè a.
And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
11 Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Eske se paske pa gen kote pou antere moun nan peyi Lejip la kifè ou mennen nou vin mouri isit la nan dezè a? Kisa ou fè nou konsa lè ou te fè nou soti kite Lejip la?
and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
12 Eske nou pa t' di ou sa lè nou te Lejip toujou? Nou te di ou: Kite nou travay pou moun peyi Lejip yo, pa vre! Pito nou travay pou moun peyi Lejip yo pase pou nou mouri nan dezè a.
Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
13 Moyiz reponn pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Pran kouraj. Louvri je nou pou nou wè jan Seyè a pral delivre nou jòdi a. Moun peyi Lejip sa yo nou wè jòdi a, nou p'ap janm wè yo ankò.
And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
14 Seyè a ap goumen pou nou. Nou menm, poze san nou.
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
15 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Poukisa w'ap rele konsa nan zòrèy mwen? Di moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo leve mache.
and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
16 Ou menm, leve baton ou lan. Lonje men ou sou lanmè a, fann li de bò. Konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mache nan mitan lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk.
And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
17 M'ap fè moun peyi Lejip yo fè tèt di pi rèd. Y'ap antre dèyè moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan mitan lanmè a. Mwen pral bat farawon an ansanm ak tout lame l' a, tout cha li yo ak tout kavalye l' yo. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen.
And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
18 Lè m'a bat farawon an ansanm ak tout cha li yo ak kavalye li yo, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
19 Zanj Bondye ki t'ap mache devan moun pèp Izrayèl yo chanje plas, li pase dèyè. Nwaj ki te devan yo a chanje plas tou, li pase dèyè yo.
And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
20 Li rete nan mitan ant moun peyi Lejip yo ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Nwaj la te tou nwa yon bò. Sou lòt bò a, li t'ap klere tout lannwit. Konsa, de lame yo pa t' ka pwoche yonn sou lòt pandan tout lannwit lan.
And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
21 Moyiz lonje men l' sou lanmè a. Seyè a fè yon gwo van nòde soufle byen fò pandan tout lannwit lan sou lanmè a. Li fè fon lanmè a tounen tè sèk, dlo a fann de bò.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
22 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo antre sou tè sèk la, nan mitan lanmè a. Dlo a te kanpe de bò tankou yon miray sou bò dwat yo ak sou bò gòch yo.
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
23 Moun peyi Lejip yo pran rapouswiv yo. Yo antre dèyè yo nan mitan lanmè a ak tout chwal farawon yo, tout cha li yo ak tout kavalye l' yo.
And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
24 Lè devanjou rive, Seyè a rete nan dife a ak nan nwaj la, li voye je l' sou lame peyi Lejip la, li lage yon sèl dezòd nan mitan yo.
And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
25 Li bloke wou cha yo. Sa te difisil anpil pou cha yo te vanse. Lè sa a, moun peyi Lejip yo di konsa: -Ann kouri kite moun Izrayèl yo an repo. Paske, Seyè a ap goumen pou yo kont nou.
and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
26 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Lonje men ou sou lanmè a ankò. Dlo a ap tounen nan plas li, l'ap kouvri moun peyi Lejip yo ansanm ak tout cha yo ak kavalye yo.
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
27 Se konsa, lè jou pral kase, Moyiz lonje men l' sou lanmè a, dlo a tounen nan plas li. Lè moun peyi Lejip yo wè dlo a ap vini sou yo, yo t'ap chache sove poul yo. Yo pran kouri. Men, Seyè a voye yo jete nan lanmè a.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place towards day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 Dlo a tounen nan plas li, li kouvri cha yo, kavalye yo ak tout lame farawon an. Wi, li kouvri tout moun ki t'ap kouri dèyè moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan lanmè a. Pa gen yonn ki chape.
and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
29 Men, moun Izrayèl yo menm te mache nan mitan lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk. Dlo a te kanpe tankou yon miray sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch yo.
But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
30 Sè jou sa a Seyè a te delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men moun peyi Lejip yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te wè kadav moun peyi Lejip yo sou tout bò lanmè a.
So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
31 Yo wè sa Seyè a te fè moun peyi Lejip yo pase ak fòs ponyèt pa li. Pèp Izrayèl la vin gen krentif pou Seyè a. Yo mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a ak nan Moyiz, sèvitè l' la.
And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
