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 “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.
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 Onye na-ebu agha ka Onyenwe anyị bụ. Nʼezie, aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.

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).

The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Aka nri gị Onyenwe anyị, dị ike, dịkwa ebube. Aka nri gị, Onyenwe anyị na-etipịasị ndị iro.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
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 have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
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.
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 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.’
[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 Ma i kupụrụ ikuku si gị nʼimi pụta, osimiri riri ha, ha mikpuru nʼime osimiri ukwu ahụ dịka igwe.
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.

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 “I setịpụrụ aka nri gị, ala meghere ọnụ ya loo ndị iro gị niile.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]

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.

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,

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 “Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ eze ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.”
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
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.
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 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, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
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 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 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/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 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.)
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 Nʼebe a, ụmụ Izrel malitere itamu ntamu, megide Mosis sị, “Olee mmiri anyị ga-aṅụ?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
[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.
