Fitowa 14
1 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 “Ka faɗa wa Isra’ilawa, su juya su kafa sansani a Fi Hahirot, a tsakanin Migdol da teku. Za su kafa sansanin kai tsaye kusa da teku, wanda ya fuskanci Ba’al-Zafon.
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 Fir’auna zai yi tsammani, ‘Aha, Isra’ilawa sun rikice cikin ƙasar, hamada kuwa ta yimƙe su.’
Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
4 Zan kuma taurare zuciyar Fir’auna, zai kuwa bi su. Na shirya wannan domin in nuna ɗaukakata a bisa Fir’auna da ƙungiyar sojansa. Bayan wannan, mutanen Masar za su sani ni ne Ubangiji.” Sai Isra’ilawa suka yi haka.
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 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Fir’auna cewa Isra’ilawa sun gudu, sai Fir’auna da bayinsa suka canja ra’ayinsu game da su, suka ce, “Me muka yi? Mun bar Isra’ilawa suka tafi, mun kuwa rasa hidimarsu!”
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 Sai shi da keken yaƙinsa suka shirya, ya kuma ɗauki sojojinsa tare da shi.
So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
7 Ya ɗauki kekunan yaƙi ɗari shida mafi kyau duka, tare da duk sauran keken yaƙin Masar, da shugabanni kuma a kan dukansu.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
8 Ubangiji ya taurare zuciyar Fir’auna sarkin Masar, domin yă bi Isra’ilawa waɗanda suke tafiya ba tsoro.
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 Masarawa, dukan dawakan Fir’auna da kekunan yaƙi da mahaya da sojoji, suka bi Isra’ilawa suka cin musu yayinda suke a sansani kusa da teku kurkusa da Fi Hahirot, wanda ya fuskanci Ba’al-Zafon.
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 Da Fir’auna ya yi kusa, Isra’ilawa suka ɗaga idanu sai suka hange Masarawa daga nesa suna tā da ƙura suna zuwa. Sai suka tsorata ƙwarai, suka kuwa yi kuka ga Ubangiji.
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 Suka ce wa Musa, “Don babu makabarta a Masar ne, ka kawo mu a hamada mu mutu? Me ka yi mana ke nan da ka fitar da mu daga Masar?
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 Ba mu faɗa maka a Masar ba, cewa ‘Ka bar mu mu bauta wa Masarawa’? Ai, da ya fi mana mu bauta wa Masarawa, da a ce mu mutu a hamada!”
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 Musa ya amsa wa mutane ya ce, “Kada ku ji tsoro. Ku tsaya dai ku ga ceton da Ubangiji zai kawo muku yau. Masarawan da kuke gani yau, ba za ku ƙara ganinsu ba.
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 Ubangiji zai yi yaƙi dominku, ku dai tsaya kurum.”
Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
15 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Don me kake mini kuka? Ka faɗa wa Isra’ilawa su ci gaba da tafiya.
And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
16 Ka ɗaga sandanka, ka miƙa shi bisa teku don ruwa yă rabu domin Isra’ilawa su wuce cikin teku a kan busasshiyar ƙasa.
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 Zan taurare zukatan Masarawa su shiga don su bi su. Ta haka zan ci nasara bisa Fir’auna da rundunansa, da keken yaƙinsa, da mahayan dawakansa.
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 Masarawa za su sani ni ne Ubangiji sa’ad da na sami nasara bisa kan Fir’auna, da keken yaƙinsa, da mahayan dawakansa.”
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 Sai mala’ikan Allah wanda yake tafiya a gaban sojojin Isra’ila, ya janye, ya koma bayansu. Al’amudin girgije shi ma ya koma, ya tsaya a bayansu,
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 ya dawo tsakanin sojojin Masar da na Isra’ila. Duk dare, girgijen ya jawo duhu ga gefe ɗaya, haske kuma ga ɗaya gefen; saboda haka ba wanda ya kusaci wani duk dare.
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 Da Musa ya miƙa hannunsa a bisa teku, sai Ubangiji ya tura teku baya da iskar gabas mai ƙarfi duk dare, ya maishe shi busasshiyar ƙasa. Ruwa ya rabu,
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 sai Isra’ilawa suka wuce cikin teku a kan busasshiyar ƙasa, ruwan ya zama musu katanga dama da hagu.
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 Masarawa suka bi su da dukan dawakan Fir’auna, da kekunan yaƙi, da mahayan, suka bi su cikin teku.
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 Da asubahin fāri, sai Ubangiji ya dubi ƙasa a kan sojojin Masarawa daga al’amudin wuta da kuma girgije, sai ya sa suka ruɗe.
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 Ya sa ƙafafun keken yaƙinsu suka fita don su kāsa tuƙi. Sai Masarawa suka ce, “Bari mu gudu daga Isra’ilawa gama Ubangiji yana yaƙi dominsu gāba da Masar.”
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 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Miƙa hannunka bisa teku don ruwa yă koma kan Masarawa, da keken yaƙinsu, da kuma mahayansu.”
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 Musa ya miƙa hannunsa a bisa tekun, da wayewar gari kuwa teku ya koma wurinsa na dā. Masarawa suka yi ƙoƙari su gudu, sai Ubangiji ya tura su cikin teku.
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 Ruwan ya komo ya rufe keken yaƙin da mahayan, dukan sojojin Fir’aunan da suka bi bayan Isra’ilawa cikin teku, ba ko ɗaya da ya tsira.
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 Amma Isra’ilawa suka wuce cikin teku a busasshiyar ƙasa, ruwa kuwa ya yi musu katanga dama da hagu.
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 A rana nan Ubangiji ya cece Isra’ila daga hannuwan Masarawa, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka ga gawawwakin Masarawa a bakin teku.
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 Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka ga iko mai girma da Ubangiji ya yi gāba da Masarawa, sai mutanen suka ji tsoron Ubangiji, suka amince da shi, da kuma bawansa Musa.
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.
