Egzòd 14
1 Bondye pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, —before Baal-zephon, over against it, shall ye 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.
Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
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.
So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. 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 told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, —and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said—What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 Farawon an fè pare cha lagè li. Li pran sòlda li yo ak li.
So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
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.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
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 Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt wax bold, and he pursued the sons of Israel, —when the sons of Israel, were going out 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.
So the Egyptians pursued them and overtook them, encamping by the sea—all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his forces, —by Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
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.
Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
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?
Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth 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 spake unto thee 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 the desert?
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 unto the people—Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you to-day, —for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.
14 Seyè a ap goumen pou nou. Nou menm, poze san nou.
Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
15 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Poukisa w'ap rele konsa nan zòrèy mwen? Di moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo leve mache.
And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
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, thou, lift high thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and cleave it asunder, —that the sons of Israel may enter into the midst of the sea on dry ground;
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, I, behold me letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them, —that I may get me honour over Pharaoh and over his forces, over his chariots, and over his horsemen,
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 the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, —when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his horsemen.
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 messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, —and the pillar of cloud 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.
so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night, —so that the one came not near unto the other, all the 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 Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, —and the waters were cloven asunder.
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.
Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, —and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand and on their 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, and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh 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 Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused 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 he took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily, —so that the Egyptians said—We must flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh, is fighting 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, —that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
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.
So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it, —thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians into 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.
thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, —there was not left remaining among them so much as 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 sons of Israel, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea, —and the waters had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their 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.
Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, —and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on 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 when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh, —and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.
