Pukaana 14
1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 E i aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e kipa ae lakou, a e hoomoana ma ke alo o Pihahirota, mawaena o Migedola a me ke kai, ma kahi e ku pono ana i Baalazepona: ma ke alo o ia wahi oukou e hoomoana ai, ma kahakai.
“Tell the Israeli people to turn around and go back and set up their tents in front of Pi-Hahiroth [town]. That town is between Migdol and the sea, across from Baal-Zephon [town]. Set up your tents there, close to the sea.
3 E olelo auanei o Parao no na mamo a Iseraela, Ua pilikia lakou iloko o ua aina la, ua paa lakou i ka waonahele.
When the king [knows you have done that], he will think, ‘The Israeli people are confused. They are wandering around, and the desert blocks their path.’
4 A na'u no e hoopaakiki i ka naau o Parao, i hahai mai ai oia mahope o lakou: a e hoouaniia auanei au maluna o Parao, a maluna o kona puali a pau; i ike ai hoi ko Aigupita, owau no Iehova. A pela no lakou i hana'i.
But I will make the king stubborn [again], and he will [take his army and] pursue you. Then my people will praise/thank me for winning a victory over the king and his army. And the Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” So [Moses/I told my people that, and] they did what he/I told them to do.
5 A haiia aku la i ke alii o Aigupita, Ua holo na kanaka; huli ka naau o Parao a me na kauwa ana e ku e i na kanaka: olelo iho la lakou, no ke aha la kakou i hana'i i keia, a hookuu aku i ka Iseraela i hookauwa ole ai lakou na kakou?
When someone told the king that the Israeli people had left [during the night], he and his officials changed their minds and said, “(What have we done?/What we have done was stupid!) [RHQ] The Israeli people will no longer be our slaves!”
6 Hoomakaukau ae la ia i kona kaakaua, a lawe pu aku la i kona poe kanaka me ia.
So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
7 Lawe aku la ia i na halekaa i waeia eono haneri, a me na kaakaua a pau o Aigupita, a me na luna o ia mau mea a pau.
Then he selected 600 of the best chariots, and in each chariot he placed a driver, a soldier, and a commander, and they left. Other chariots, with a driver and a soldier in each of them, also went along.
8 Hoopaakiki iho la o Iehova i ka naau o Parao, o ke alii o Aigupita, a hahai mai la ia mahope o na mamo a Iseraela: a puka mai la na mamo a Iseraela mawaho me ka lima hookiekie.
Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
9 Hahai mai la ko Aigupita mahope o lakou, o na lio a pau, a me na kaakaua o Parao, a me kona hoohololio, a me kona poe koa, a loaa mai lakou nei e hoomoana ana ma kahakai, ma Pihahirota, e ku pono ana i Baalazepona.
the Egyptian army, with all the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen, pursued the Israelis. They caught up with them as they were camped near the sea, close to Pi-Hahiroth, in front of Baal-Zephon [town].
10 A hookokoke mai la o Parao, alawa ae la na maka o na mamo a Iseraela, aia hoi, e hele mai ana ko Aigupita mahope o lakou; makau loa iho la lakou: a uwe aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova.
When the king’s army got near, the Israeli people were surprised to see that the Egyptians were marching toward them. They were terrified; so they cried out to Yahweh [to help them].
11 I mai la hoi lakou ia Mose, No ka mea, aohe lua kupapau ma Aigupita, ua lawe mai anei oe ia makou e make ma keia waonahele? No ke aha la kau i hana mai ai ia makou pela, i ka lawe ana mai nei ia makou mai Aigupita mai?
Then they said to Moses/me, “Is it because there were no places in Egypt [where we could] be buried that you have brought us here to die in this desert [RHQ]? Look what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt [RHQ]!
12 Aole anei keia o ka olelo a makou i hai aku ai ia oe ma Aigupita, i ka i ana aku, E waiho pela ia makou, i hookauwa aku ai makou na ko Aigupita? No ka mea, he mea maikai no makou ke hookauwa aku na ko Aigupita, aole hoi e make ma ka waonahele.
That is what we told you when we were in Egypt! We said, ‘Leave us alone, and let us work for the Egyptians [RHQ]!’ It would have been better for us to be slaves for the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!”
13 Olelo aku la o Mose i na kanaka, mai makau oukou, e ku malie oukou, a e nana aku i ka hoola ana o Iehova, i ka mea ana e hoike mai ai ia oukou i keia la; no ka mea, o ko Aigupita a oukou i ike ai i keia la, aole oukou e ike hou ia lakou, mahope mau loa aku.
Moses/I replied to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be brave, and see how Yahweh will rescue you! He will save you today, and the result will be that the Egyptians that you are looking at today—you will never see them again!
14 Na Iehova no e kaua aku no oukou, a e noho malie oukou.
Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
15 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, No ke ah a la oe e kahea mai nei ia'u? e i aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e hele aku lakou imua.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the people to stop crying out for me [to help them], and tell them to go forward. Lift up your stick and stretch it out toward the sea. The water will divide, so that all you Israeli people can go in the middle of the sea, walking on dry ground.
16 Aka, E hapai oe i kou kookoo, a e o aku kou lima maluna o ke kai, a e hookaawale ia: a e hele aku no na mamo o Iseraela mawaena o ke kai, ma kahi maloo.
17 A na'u iho no e hoopaakiki i na naau o ko Aigupita, a e hahai mai lakou mahope o lakou nei: a e hoonani au ia'u iho ma o Parao la a ma kona poe koa a pau, a ma kona mau kaakaua, a me na hoohololio ona.
I will make the Egyptians stubborn, so that they will try to follow you. And then as a result of [what I will do to the] king and his army and his chariots and his horsemen, [my people] will praise/thank me.
18 A e ike auanei ko Aigupita, owau no Iehova, ke hoonani wau ia'u iho ma o Parao la, a me kona mau kaakaua, a me na hoohololio ona.
And when I have won a glorious [victory] over the king and his chariots and his horsemen, the [other] Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
19 A o ka anela o ke Akua i hele mamua o ke kahua hoomoana o ka Iseraela, hoi aku la ia mahope o lakou; a hele ae la hoi ke kia ao mai mua ao o lakou, a ku iho la mahope o lakou.
Then the angel of God, who had been in front of the Israeli people, moved and went behind them. The tall bright cloud that had been in front of them also moved behind them,
20 Hele mai la ia mawaena o ko Aigupita poe a me ka Iseraela: a lilo ia i ao pouli; a hoomalamalama mai no nae i ka po; nolaila, aole i hookokoke mai kela poe i keia mai ia po a ao.
until it was between the Egyptian army and the Israeli people. The cloud caused the Egyptian army to be in the dark but it gave light for the Israelis. As a result, neither group could come near the other group during the whole night.
21 O aku la o Mose i kona lima maluna o ke kai; na Iehova i hookahe ke kai me ka makani ikaika, mai ka hikina mai, i kela po a ao, a lilo iho la ke kai i aina maloo, a ua maheleia ae la na wai.
[That evening], Moses/I stretched out his/my hand toward the sea. Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the east. It blew all night and pushed the water apart, and it caused the ground between the water to dry up.
22 Hele mai la na mamo a Iseraela mawaena o ke kai ma kahi maloo: a lilo ka wai i pali no lakou ma ko lakou lima akau a me ko lakou lima hema.
Then we Israeli people went on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The water was like a wall on each side of us, on the right side and on the left side.
23 Hahai mai la ko Aigupita, a hele mai mahope o lakou, o na lio a pau o Parao, a me kona mau kaakaua, a me na hoohololio iwaena o ke kai.
Then the Egyptian army pursued them, and went after them into the middle of the sea, with their horses and their chariots and the chariot-drivers.
24 A hiki i ka wati wanaao, nana mai la o Iehova i ka poe kaua o Aigupita, mai ke kia ahi a me ke ao mai, a hoopilikia ae la i ka poe kaua o Aigupita.
Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
25 Hoohemohemo iho la ia i na huila o ko lakou mau kaakaua, i hele pupu ai lakou; no ia mea, olelo mai la ko Aigupita, E auhee kakou mai ke alo aku o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua kaua mai no o Iehova me lakou pu i ko Aigupita.
He caused the wheels of the chariots to get stuck [in the mud], so that they could hardly move. So the Egyptians said, “Yahweh is fighting for the Israelis and against us; let’s get out of here!”
26 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E o aku kou lima maluna o ke kai, i hoi hou mai ai ka wai maluna o ko Aigupita, maluna o ko lakou mau halekaa, a maluna o ko lakou poe hoohololio.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Stretch out your arm toward the sea again. Then the water will come back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.”
27 Hoo aku la no o Mose i kona lima maluna o ke kai, a hoi mai no ke kai i kona piha ana i ka wa e pualena ana o ke ao; auhee aku la ko Aigupita i ka loaa ana o ka wai; a lulu iho la o Iehova i ko Aigupita iloko o ke kai.
So Moses/I stretched out his/my arm, and as the sun was rising, the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape, but Yahweh hurled them back into the sea.
28 Hoi hou aku la ke kai, a popoi iho la maluna o na kaakaua, a me na hoohololio, a me ka poe koa a pau o Parao i hele mai iloko o ke kai mahope o lakou: aole loa kekahi o lakou i koe.
The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and the whole Egyptian army that had tried to follow us Israelis into the sea. Every one of the Egyptians drowned.
29 Aka, o na mamo a Iseraela, hele mai la lakou ma kahi maloo iwaenakonu o ke kai: a o na wai, he pali ia no lakou ma ko lakou lima akau, a me ko lakou lima hema.
But we Israeli people had already crossed through the sea by walking on dry ground, with the water being [like two] walls, one on the right side and one on the left side.
30 Pela i hoola mai ai o Iehova i ka Iseraela ia la, mai ka lima o ko Aigupita mai; a ike aku la ka Iseraela i ko Aigupita maluna o kahakai, ua make.
That is the way Yahweh saved the Israeli people from the Egyptian army on that day. The Israeli people saw the Egyptians lying dead, [with their bodies washed up] on the shore.
31 Ike aku la ka Iseraela i kela hana nui a Iehova i hana aku ai i ko Aigupita: a makau iho la na kanaka ia Iehova; a manaoio aku la lakou ia Iehova, a me kana kauwa o Mose.
The Israelis saw what Yahweh did to the Egyptians by his great power [MTY], and they were in awe of Yahweh. They trusted in Yahweh and they also trusted Moses/me.
