Egzòd 15
1 Alò Moïse avèk fis Israël yo te chante chan sila a a SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Mwen va chante a SENYÈ a paske viktwa Li etonnan. Cheval la avèk moun ki monte l la, Li te voye yo nan lanmè.
Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
2 “SENYÈ a se fòs mwen ak chanson mwen epi konsa, Li gen tan vin delivrans mwen. Sa se Bondye pa m, e mwen va louwe Li; Bondye a papa m nan, e mwen va leve Li wo.
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
3 SENYÈ a se yon gèrye; Se SENYÈ yo rele L.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 Cha Farawon yo avèk lame l lan, Li te voye yo nan lanmè. Pi bon pami chèf li yo te plonje mouri nan Lanmè Wouj.
He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
5 Fon yo kouvri yo. Yo plonje ba nan fon yo tankou wòch.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Men dwat Ou, SENYÈ, ranpli ak majeste avèk pwisans. Men dwat Ou, O SENYÈ, vin dechire lènmi an nèt.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 Ak tout grandè Ou, Ou te ranvoye tout sa yo ki leve kontra Ou. Ou te voye lakolè ou deyò. Li te brile yo nèt kon pay.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 Avèk gwo souf ki sòti nan nen ou kouran dlo yo vin kanpe fè gwo pil. Dlo k ap koule a te vin kanpe tankou yon miray. Fon yo te vin koule nan kè lanmè a.
You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
9 Lènmi an te di: “Mwen va pouswiv yo; mwen va pran yo. Mwen va divize richès yo. Volonte m kont yo va satisfè. Mwen va rale nepe mwen. Se men m k ap detwi yo.”
[Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
10 Ou te soufle avèk van Ou. Lanmè a te vin kouvri yo. Yo te plonje tankou plon nan dlo pwisan yo
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 Kilès ki tankou Ou pami dye yo, O SENYÈ? Kilès ki tankou Ou? Kilès ki tankou ou nan majeste ak sentete, etonan nan lwanj, k ap fè mèvèy yo?
Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
12 Ou te lonje men dwat Ou; Lanmè a te vale yo.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 Nan lanmou ak mizerikòd Ou, Ou te mennen pèp ke Ou te ransone. Nan pwisans Ou an, Ou te gide yo rive nan abitasyon sen pa Ou a.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Lòt nasyon pèp yo te tande. Y ap tranble. Gwo lakrent vin sezi abitan Philistine yo.
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 Epi chèf Édom yo vin sezi. Gèrye nan Moab yo pran tranble. Tout abitan Canaan yo te fonn e vin disparèt.
The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
16 Sezisman avèk laperèz vin tonbe sou yo. Pa pwisans bra Ou, yo vin san fòs tankou wòch; jis lè pèp Ou a vin janbe, O SENYÈ, Jis lè pèp ke Ou te ransone a vin janbe.
They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
17 Ou va mennen yo antre, e plante yo nan gwo mòn eritaj pa Ou a, plas la, O SENYÈ, ke Ou te fè tankou abitasyon pa Ou a, lye sen an, O SENYÈ, ke men Ou te etabli a.
to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
18 SENYÈ a va renye pou tout tan, e pou tout tan.”
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 Paske cheval Farawon yo avèk cha li yo avèk mèt cheval li yo te antre nan lanmè a, e SENYÈ a te fè dlo lanmè a retounen sou yo. Men fis Israël yo te mache nan tè sèch nan mitan lanmè a.
The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
20 Marie, pwofetès ak sè Aaron an te pran tanbouren an nan men l. Tout fanm yo te sòti dèyè li avèk tanbouren yo. Yo t ap danse.
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
21 Marie te reponn yo: “Chante a SENYÈ a, paske Li egzalte byen wo. Cheval la avèk Mèt Cheval la Li te voye yo nan lanmè.”
and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
22 Alò, Moïse te mennen Israël soti kite Lanmè Wouj la. Yo te ale nan dezè Schur a, epi yo te vwayaje twa jou nan dezè a. Men yo pa t jwenn dlo.
Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
23 Lè yo rive nan Mara, yo pa t kab bwè dlo Mara a, paske li te anmè. Se pou sa yo te rele l Mara.
So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 Alò, pèp la te plenyen kont Moïse. Yo te di: “Kisa n ap bwè?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Konsa, li te kriye a SENYÈ a, epi SENYÈ a te montre li yon pyebwa. Lè li te jete li nan dlo a, e dlo a te vin dous. La menm, Li te fè pou yo yon lòd avèk yon règleman, epi la, Li te fè yo pase a leprèv.
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
26 Li te di: “Si nou okipe byen vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, si nou fè sa ki bon nan zye Li, si nou bay zòrèy nou a kòmandman Li yo, e kenbe lwa Li yo, Mwen p ap mete sou nou, okenn nan maladi ke M te mete sou Ejipsyen yo; paske se Mwen, SENYÈ ki geri nou an.”
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
27 Alò, yo te rive nan Élim kote ki te gen douz sous dlo ak swasann-dis palmye dat yo, e yo te fè kan akote dlo a.
[After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
