Ọpụpụ 15

1 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na ụmụ Izrel bụkuru Onyenwe anyị abụ dị otu a sị, “Aga m abụku Onyenwe anyị abụ nʼihi na o buliela onwe ya elu nke ukwuu. Ọ tụnyela ịnyịnya na onye na-agba ya nʼosimiri.

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.

2 “Onyenwe anyị bụ ike m na abụ m. Ọ ghọrọla m nzọpụta. Ọ bụ Chineke m, aga m etokwa ya, Chineke nke nna m, aga m ebulikwa ya elu.

The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

3 Onye na-ebu agha ka Onyenwe anyị bụ. Nʼezie, aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.

The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.

4 Ụgbọ agha Fero na usuu ndị agha ya, ka ọ tụnyere nʼosimiri ahụ. Ndịisi agha Fero, ndị ahọrọ ahọ, ka o mere ka Osimiri Uhie rie.

Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

5 Ogbu osimiri ahụ ekpuchiela ha. Nʼime mmiri ahụ dị omimi ka ha rịdaruru dịka nkume.

The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone.

6 Aka nri gị Onyenwe anyị, dị ike, dịkwa ebube. Aka nri gị, Onyenwe anyị na-etipịasị ndị iro.

Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.

7 “Nʼoke ike nke ịdị elu gị, Ị lụgbuola ndị niile na-ebili imegide gị. I zipụrụ iwe gị dị ọkụ, o repịara ha dịka igbugbo ọka.

You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.

8 I sitere na nkuume nke oghere imi gị, mee ka mmiri osimiri guzoro ọtọ. Mmiri ahụ na-erugharị erugharị guzoro nʼotu ebe dịka mgbidi; ogbu mmiri kpụkọtara rahụ nʼala ala nsọtụ nke osimiri.

At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; like a wall the currents stood firm; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 Onye iro nyara isi sị, ‘Aga m achụso ha, gafee ha. Aga m ekesa ihe a kwatara nʼagha. Nyejuo onwe m afọ site na ha. Aga m amịpụta mma agha m. Jiri aka m laa ha nʼiyi.’

The enemy declared, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.’

10 Ma i kupụrụ ikuku si gị nʼimi pụta, osimiri riri ha, ha mikpuru nʼime osimiri ukwu ahụ dịka igwe.

But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 Onye dịka gị Onyenwe anyị, nʼetiti chi niile? Onye dịka gị? Onye dị ebube nʼịdị nsọ. Onye otuto ya na-eyi egwu. Onye na-arụ ọrụ dị ebube?

Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?

12 “I setịpụrụ aka nri gị, ala meghere ọnụ ya loo ndị iro gị niile.

You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them up.

13 Site nʼebere gị, i dupụtara ndị ị zọpụtara. Sitekwa nʼike gị dị ebube, i duru ha ruo nʼebe obibi gị dị nsọ.

With loving devotion You will lead the people You have redeemed; with Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.

14 Ụwa niile nụrụ ya, maa jijiji. Ndị Filistia ka oke ihe mgbu bịakwasịrị.

The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the dwellers of Philistia.

15 Ndị eze Edọm ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ obi ịlọ mmiri. Ndị ndu Moab niile ga-abụ ndị ọma jijiji ga-ejidekwa, ndị Kenan niile nʼọnọdụ ịtụ egwu ga-agbaze;

Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; trembling will seize the leaders of Moab; those who dwell in Canaan will melt away,

16 oke egwu na oke ụjọ ejidela ha. Site nʼike nke aka gị, ha ga-anọ jụụ dịka nkume, tutu ruo mgbe ndị gị, Onyenwe anyị, gafechara, tutu ruo mgbe ndị gị, ndị ị zụtara nye onwe gị, gafechara.

and terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You have bought pass by.

17 Gị onwe gị ga-akpọbata ha, kụọ ha dịka mkpụrụ, nʼelu ugwu nke ihe nketa gị. Nʼebe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị, i mere ka ọ bụrụ ebe obibi gị, ebe nsọ ahụ, Onyenwe anyị, nke i ji aka gị tọọ ntọala ya.

You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance— the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.

18 “Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ eze ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.”

The LORD will reign forever and ever!”

19 Mgbe ịnyịnya Fero, na ụgbọ agha ya, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya, gbabanyere nʼosimiri, Onyenwe anyị mere ka mgbidi mmiri ahụ dagbuo ha. Ma ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼala mmiri kọrọ gafee.

For when Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.

20 Nʼoge ahụ, Miriam onye amụma nwanyị, nwanne Erọn weere ịgba iti egwu nʼaka ya, duo ndị inyom ndị so ya, jiri ịgba egwu nke ha na-etekwa egwu.

Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing.

21 Miriam bụrụ abụ sị ha, “Bụkuonụ Onyenwe anyị abụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye e buliri elu nke ukwu. Ịnyịnya na ndị na-agba ha, ka ọ tụnyere nʼime osimiri.”

And Miriam sang back to them: “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.”

22 Mgbe ihe ndị a mesịrị, Mosis nọgidere na-edu ụmụ Izrel. Ha sitere nʼOsimiri Uhie ahụ bilie ije, jeruo ọzara Shua. Ha jere ije nʼime ọzara abalị atọ, ma ha achọtaghị mmiri ọṅụṅụ

Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water.

23 Mgbe ha ruru Mara, ha enweghị ike ịṅụ mmiri dị nʼebe ahụ, nʼihi na mmiri ahụ na-elu ilu. (Ọ bụ ilu ilu a mere e ji kpọọ ya Mara.)

And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named Marah.)

24 Nʼebe a, ụmụ Izrel malitere itamu ntamu, megide Mosis sị, “Olee mmiri anyị ga-aṅụ?”

So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”

25 Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa. Onyenwe anyị gosiri Mosis osisi ọ ga-atụnye nʼime mmiri ahụ. Mgbe Mosis mere otu a, mmiri ahụ malitere ịdị ụtọ ọṅụṅụ. Ọ bụkwa na Mara ka Onyenwe anyị nọ nye ha ụkpụrụ ya na iwu ya maka iji ya nwalee ha.

And Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log. And when he cast it into the waters, they were sweetened. There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them,

26 Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ga-ege ntị nke ọma nʼokwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya ya, ọ bụrụkwa na unu eleruo anya idebe iwu ya na ụkpụrụ ya niile, ọ dịghị ọrịa nke m tinyere nʼahụ ndị Ijipt nke m ga-etinye nʼahụ unu. Nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye na-agwọ unu ọrịa niile.”

saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

27 Ha bịaruru nʼobodo Elim, ebe e nwere isi iyi mmiri ala na-asọpụta dị iri na abụọ, na iri osisi nkwụ asaa. Ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ mmiri ahụ.

Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the waters.
