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, sang Moses, and the sons of Israel, this song unto Yahweh, and they spake, saying, —I will sing to Yahweh, for he is exalted, exalted, —The horse and his rider, hath he 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.
My might and melody, is Yah, And he became mine, by salvation, —This, is my GOD, and I will glorify him, The God of my father and I will set him on high.
3 Seyè a, se yon vanyan sòlda. Se Seyè yo rele l'.
Yahweh is a warlike one, —Yahweh, 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 train, hath he cast into the sea, —Yea, the choice of his warriors, were sunk in the Sedgy Sea.
5 Lanm lanmè a kouvri yo. Yo fè fon tankou ròch.
Roaring deeps, covered them, —They went down in the raging depths like a stone.
6 Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou se kokenn zafè! Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou kraze lènmi an!
Thy right hand, O Yahweh is splendid in power, —Thy right hand, O Yahweh dasheth in pieces a foe;
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 greatness of thine exaltation, dost thou tear down thine opposers, —Thou dost send forth thy wrath, it consumeth them as straw;
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 with the blast of thy nostrils, heaped up are the waters, Upreared like a mound, are the flowing waves, —Roaring deeps are congealed in the heart 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.
Said the foe—I will pursue—overtake divide spoil, —Take her fill of them—shall my soul, I will bare my sword, root them out—shall my hand.
10 Ou annik fè yon ti van leve, lanmè a kouvri yo. Lanmè a te move, yo desann nan fon tankou plon.
Thou didst blow with thy wind they were covered by the sea, —They rolled like lead, into the waters so wide.
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 unto thee, among the mighty O Yahweh? Who is, like unto thee, Majestic in holiness, —To be revered in praises, Doing a marvellous thing?
12 Ou annik lonje men dwat ou, tè a vale yo tou vivan.
Thou didst stretch forth thy right hand, earth swallowed them up.
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.
Thou hast led forth in thy lovingkindness, the people which thou hast redeemed, —Thou hast guided them in thy might into the home of thy holiness.
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 have heard they tremble, —A pang, hath seized the dwellers 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, were amazed the chiefs of Edom, The mighty ones of Moab, there seizeth them, a trembling, —Melted away, have all the dwellers of Canaan:
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!
There falleth upon them a terror and dread, With the greatness of thine arm, are they struck dumb as a stone, —Till thy people pass over O Yahweh, Till the people pass over, which thou hast made thine own: —
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.
Thou bringest them in and plantest them, In the mountain of thine inheritance, Thy dwelling-place to abide in which thou hast made, O Yahweh, —A hallowed place O My Lord which thy hands have established.
18 Seyè a ap gouvènen pou tout tan.
Yahweh, shall reign unto times age-abiding 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 horses of Pharaoh, with his chariots and his horsemen, entered into the sea, Then did Yahweh bring back upon them the waters of the sea, —But the sons of Israel, had gone their way on the dry ground through the midst of the sea.
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.
Then took Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron the timbrel in her hand, —and all the women came forth after her with timbrels and dances,
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 Miriam responded to the men, Sing to Yahweh for he is exalted—exalted, The horse and his rider, hath he cast 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.
And Moses caused Israel to break up from the Red Sea, and they went out into the desert of Shur, —and journeyed three days in the desert and 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, when they came in towards Marah they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter, —for this cause, was the name thereof called Marah.
24 Pèp la pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz nan dezè a. Yo mande l': -Atò, kisa pou nou bwè koulye a?
So the people murmured against Moses—saying, What are we to 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.
And he made outcry unto Yahweh, and Yahweh pointed out a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet, —There, he appointed him a statute and regulation And, there, he put him to the proof.
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.
And he said: If thou, wilt indeed hearken, to the voice of Yahweh thy God, And the thing that is right in his eyes, thou wilt do, And so give ear to his commandments, And keep all his statutes, None of the sicknesses which I laid on the Egyptians, will I lay upon thee, For, I, am Yahweh, thy physician.
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 came they in to Elim, and there, were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm-trees, —so they encamped there, by the waters.
