Egzòd 14
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 “Di fis Israël yo pou yo vire fè bak, e fè kan devan Pi-Hahiroth antre Migdol ak lanmè a. Nou va fè kan devan Baal-Tsephon, anfas li, bò kote lanmè a.
“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 Paske Farawon va di de fis Israël yo: ‘Y ap mache byen egare nan peyi a; dezè a gen tan fèmen yo ladann.’
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 Konsa Mwen va andisi kè Farawon e li va kouri dèyè yo. Epi Mwen va onore pa Farawon avèk tout lame li a, e Ejipsyen yo va vin konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.” Se konsa yo te fè.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] shall know that I am Adonai.” They did so.
5 Lè wa Égypte la te avèti ke pèp la te sove ale, Farawon avèk sèvitè li yo te vin gen yon chanjman kè anvè pèp la. Yo te di: “Kisa sa ye nou fin fè la a, ke nou kite Israël ale pou kite sèvis nou yo?”
The king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel [God prevails] go from serving us?”
6 Alò, li te prepare cha li, e te pran pèp li a avèk li.
He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 Epi li te pran sis-san cha byen chwazi, ansanm ak tout lòt cha an Égypte yo avèk gwo chèf sou yo tout.
and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and captains over all them.
8 SENYÈ a te andisi kè Farawon, wa Égypte la, e li te kouri dèyè fis Israël yo. Paske se ak gwo kouraj ke Israël te soti.
Adonai hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and he pursued the children of Israel [God prevails]; for the children of Israel [God prevails] went out with a high hand.
9 Konsa, Ejipsyen yo te kouri dèyè yo avèk tout cheval yo ak cha Farawon yo, chevalye li yo, avèk lame li, e yo te vin parèt sou yo kanpe bò kote lanmè a, akote Pi-Hihroth, anfas Baal-Tsephon.
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 Pandan Farawon t ap pwoche, fis Israël yo te gade, e vwala, Ejipsyen yo t ap mache dèyè yo. Yo te vin pè anpil, epi fis Israël yo te kriye fò bay SENYÈ a.
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel [God prevails] lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel [God prevails] cried out to Adonai.
11 Alò yo te di a Moïse: “Èske se paske pa gen tonm an Égypte ke ou mennen nou pati pou mouri nan dezè a? Poukisa ou te aji avèk nou konsa, pou fè nou sòti an Égypte?
They said to Moses [Drawn out], “Because there were no graves in Egypt [Abode of slavery], have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]?
12 Èske se pa pawòl ke nou te pale ou an Égypte la lè nou te di: ‘Pa deranje nou pou nou ka sèvi Ejipsyen yo?’ Paske li t ap pi bon pou nou pou sèvi Ejipsyen yo pase pou nou ta mouri nan dezè a.”
Is not this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt [Abode of slavery], saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may abad ·serve· the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]?’ For it were better for us to abad ·serve· the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], than that we should die in the wilderness.”
13 Men Moïse te di a pèp la: “Pa pè anyen! Kanpe la pou wè delivrans SENYÈ a va acheve pou nou jodi a. Paske Ejipsyen yo ke nou wè jodi a, nou p ap wè yo ankò jiska jamè.
Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the yishu'ah ·salvation· of Adonai, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.
14 SENYÈ a va goumen pou nou pandan nou rete an silans.”
Adonai will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Poukisa w ap kriye ban Mwen konsa? Di pèp la avanse.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], that they go forward.
16 Epi pou ou menm, leve baton ou an anlè. Lonje men ou sou lanmè a pou fann li. Konsa, fis Israël yo va pase nan mitan lanmè a sou tè sèch.
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel [God prevails] shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
17 Pou Mwen, gade byen, Mwen va fè kè Ejipsyen yo di pou yo kouri antre dèyè yo. Konsa, Mwen va jwenn onè sou Farawon an avèk tout lame li ak cha li yo avèk kavalye li yo.
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 Alò, Ejipsyen yo va vin konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè Mwen vin onore pa Farawon, pa cha li yo, ak kavalye li yo.”
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] shall know that I am Adonai, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19 Zanj Bondye a ki t ap prale devan kan Israël la te vin deplase e te kanpe dèyè yo; epi pilye nwaj la te deplase kite devan yo, pou te kanpe dèyè yo.
Ha mal'ak Elohim [The Angel of God], who went before the camp of Israel [God prevails], moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20 Alò li te vin divize kan Égypte la ak kan Israël la. Te gen nwaj la ansanm avèk tenèb la, men li te bay limyè nan nwit lan. Konsa youn pa t pwoche lòt pandan tout nwit lan.
It came between the camp of Egypt [Abode of slavery] and the camp of Israel [God prevails]; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and one didn’t come near the other all night.
21 Alò Moïse te lonje men l sou lanmè a; epi SENYÈ a te bale lanmè a pa yon van lès byen fò tout lannwit. Li te fè lanmè a vin tounen tè sèch, e dlo a te vin fann.
Moses [Drawn out] stretched out his hand over the sea, and Adonai caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 Fis Israël yo te pase nan mitan lanmè a sou tè sèch, e dlo a te vin tankou yon miray pou yo sou men dwat yo ak sou men goch yo.
The children of Israel [God prevails] went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 Alò, Ejipsyen yo te vin kouri dèyè yo, e tout cheval Farawon, avèk cha li yo, avèk kavalye li yo te antre kouri dèyè yo nan mitan lanmè a.
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 A la vèy nan maten, SENYÈ a te gade anba sou lame Ejipsyen yo, sou pilye a dife avèk nwaj yo, e Li te mennen lame Ejipsyen an nan yon gwo konfizyon.
In the morning watch, Adonai looked out on the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] army.
25 Li te retire wou cha yo, e yo te mal a kondwi. Konsa, Ejipsyen yo te di: “Annou sove ale kite Israël, paske SENYÈ a ap goumen pou yo kont Ejipsyen yo.”
He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel [God prevails], for Adonai fights for them against the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]!”
26 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou sou lanmè a pou dlo a kab retounen vin sou Ejipsyen yo, sou cha yo, ak sou kavalye yo.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 Alò, Moise te lonje men li sou lanmè a, e lanmè a te retounen nan eta nòmal li nan granmmaten, pandan Ejipsyen yo t ap sove ale tou kontra li. Konsa, SENYÈ a te boulvèse Ejipsyen yo nan mitan lanmè a.
Moses [Drawn out] stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea teshuvah ·completely returned· to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] fled against it. Adonai overthrew the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] in the middle of the sea.
28 Dlo a te retounen e te kouvri cha yo avèk kavalye yo, e menm tout lame Farawon ki te antre nan lanmè a dèyè yo. Pa t menm gen youn nan yo ki te rete.
The waters teshuvah ·completely returned·, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29 Men fis Israël yo te mache sou tè sèch pase nan mitan lanmè a, e dlo a te vin tankou yon mi pou yo ni sou men dwat yo ni sou men goch yo.
But the children of Israel [God prevails] walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Konsa, SENYÈ a te delivre Israël nan jou sa a nan men a Ejipsyen yo, e Israël te wè Ejipsyen yo ki te mouri sou bò lanmè a.
Thus Adonai saved Israel [God prevails] that day out of the hand of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]; and Israel [God prevails] saw the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] dead on the seashore.
31 Lè Israël te wè gran pwisans ke SENYÈ a te sèvi kont Ejipsyen yo, tout Pèp la te krent SENYÈ a, e yo te kwè nan SENYÈ a ak sèvitè li a, Moïse.
Israel [God prevails] saw the great work which Adonai did to the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and the people feared Adonai; and they trusted in Adonai, and in his servant Moses [Drawn out].
