Egzòd 15
1 Lè sa a, Moyiz ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo chante yon chante pou Seyè a. Men sa chante a di: -M'ap chante pou Seyè a, paske li genyen batay la. Li voye chwal yo ak tout kavalye yo jete nan lanmè.
Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.
2 Seyè a, se tout fòs mwen. Se pou li m'ap chante. Se li menm ki delivre m'. Se Bondye mwen li ye, m'ap fè lwanj li. Se Bondye zansèt mwen yo, m'ap di jan li gen pouvwa.
The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.
3 Seyè a, se yon vanyan sòlda. Se Seyè yo rele l'.
The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.
4 Li voye cha farawon yo ansanm ak tout lame l' a jete nan lanmè. Li fè pi bon sòlda li yo mouri neye nan lanmè Wouj la.
The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.
5 Lanm lanmè a kouvri yo. Yo fè fon tankou ròch.
The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.
6 Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou se kokenn zafè! Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou kraze lènmi an!
Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.
7 Jan ou gen anpil pouvwa sa a, Seyè! Ou kraze moun k'ap goumen avè ou yo. Ou fè yon sèl kòlè, ou boule yo tankou dife nan pay.
And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.
8 Nan kolè ou, ou soufle. Souf ou fè dlo a ranmase kò l'. Lanm yo kanpe dwat tankou yon miray. Dlo a vin di nan mitan lanmè a.
And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.
9 Lènmi an te di: M'ap kouri dèyè yo, m'ap pran yo. M'ap separe tout richès yo, m'ap pran tou sa m' vle. M'ap rale nepe mwen, avèk fòs ponyèt mwen, m'ap disparèt yo.
The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’
10 Ou annik fè yon ti van leve, lanmè a kouvri yo. Lanmè a te move, yo desann nan fon tankou plon.
Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.
11 Seyè, nan tout bondye yo, kilès ki tankou ou! Pouvwa ou fè yo respekte ou! Ou se Bondye ki apa nèt! Kilès ki tankou ou? Ou menm ki fè mirak, ou menm ki fè mèvèy pou fè moun pè! Kilès ki tankou ou?
Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?
12 Ou annik lonje men dwat ou, tè a vale yo tou vivan.
You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.
13 Paske ou gen bon kè, ou mennen pèp ou delivre a, avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou mennen yo nan peyi ki apa pou ou a.
In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.
14 Lòt pèp yo pran nouvèl sa ki pase, yo pran tranble tèlman yo pè. Yon sèl vant fè mal pran moun Filisti yo.
Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Ata chèf peyi Edon yo te pè anpil. Vanyan gason peyi Moab yo pran tranble. Tout moun nan peyi Kanaran pèdi kouraj.
Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.
16 Yon sèl kè kase, yon sèl sezisman pran yo. Avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou fè yo rete rèd san yo pa kapab fè anyen. Ou fè yo rete konsa jouk pèp ou a fin pase, Seyè, wi, jouk pèp ou delivre a fin pase!
Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.
17 Wa mennen yo, w'a plante yo sou mòn ki pou ou a, Seyè, sou mòn kote ou pare pou kay ou a, kay ou bati pou ou a, Seyè.
You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.
18 Seyè a ap gouvènen pou tout tan.
The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.
19 Chwal farawon yo ansanm ak tout cha ak kavalye yo te tonbe nan lanmè. Seyè a fè dlo a tounen nan plas li. Dlo a kouvri yo tout. Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm te mache nan fon lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk.
For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”
20 Miryam, sè Arawon an, te yon pwofèt. Li pran yon tanbouren nan men l', tout medam yo t'ap mache dèyè l', yo t'ap bat tanbouren, yo t'ap danse.
And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.
21 Miryam t'ap chante pou yo, li t'ap di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Annou chante pou Seyè a! Paske li genyen yon bèl batay! Li voye chwal yo jete nan fon lanmè ak tout kavalye yo sou yo.
And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”
22 Moyiz fè moun Izrayèl yo pati kite bò lanmè Wouj la. Yo mete tèt yo sou bò dezè Chou a. Yo t'ap mache depi twa jou nan dezè a san yo pa jwenn gout dlo pou yo bwè.
Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.
23 Yo rive yon kote ki rele Mara. Men, yo pa t' kapab bwè dlo ki te la a, paske li te twò anmè. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote a Mara.
And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.
24 Pèp la pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz nan dezè a. Yo mande l': -Atò, kisa pou nou bwè koulye a?
And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”
25 Moyiz rele Seyè a, li lapriyè nan pye l'. Seyè a moutre l' yon kalite pyebwa. Moyiz lage branch bwa a nan dlo a, dlo a vin dous. Se la Seyè a te ba yo lòd ak regleman pou yo swiv. Se la li t'ap chache sonde yo.
So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,
26 Li di yo: -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou koute m' lè m' pale nou, si nou fè tout sa ki dwat devan mwen, si nou louvri zòrèy nou pou swiv kòmandman mwen yo, pou nou kenbe lòd mwen ban nou, mwen p'ap voye malè sou nou, jan mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap geri nou.
saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”
27 Apre sa, yo rive Elim, yon kote ki te gen douz sous dlo ak swasanndis pye dat. Yo rete la, yo moute tant yo bò dlo a.
Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.
