Exodo 14
1 Nakisarita ni Yahweh kenni Moises:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Ibagam kadagiti Israelita a masapul nga agsublida ken agkampoda sakbay iti Pi Hahirot, ti nagbaetan ti Migdol ken iti baybay, sakbay iti Baal Zefon. Masapul nga agkampokayo iti abay ti baybay iti bangir iti Pi Hahirot.
“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 Ibaganto ni Faraon maipanggep kadagiti Israelita, 'Agalla-allada iti daga. Linappedan ida ti let-ang.'
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 Patangkenekto ti puso ni Faraon, ket kamatennanto ida. Maidaydayawakto gapu kenni Faraon ken kadagiti amin nga armadana. Maammoanto dagiti Egipcio a siak ni Yahweh.” Isu a nagkampo dagiti Israelita a kas naibilin kadakuada.
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 Idi naibaga iti ari ti Egipto a nakapanawen dagiti Israelita, nagbaliw ti panunot ni Faraon ken dagiti adipenna maibusor kadagiti tattao. Kinunada, “Ania ti inaramidtayo a pinalubosantayo dagiti Israelita a mawayawayaan iti panagtrabahoda para kadatayo?”
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 Ket impaisagana ni Faraon dagiti karwahena ket inkuyogna dagiti armadana.
So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
7 Inkuyogna dagiti innem a gasut a napili a karwahe ken dagiti dadduma a karwahe ti Egipto, nga addaan amin kadagiti opisial.
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 Pinatangken ni Yahweh ti puso ni Faraon, ti ari ti Egipto, ket kinamatna dagiti Israelita. Ita, nagballigi a nakapanaw dagiti Israelita.
Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
9 Ngem kinamat ida dagiti Egipcio a kaduada dagiti amin a kabalyo ken karwahena, dagiti kumakabalyo ken dagiti armadana. Naabutanda dagiti Israelita a nagkampo iti igid ti baybay iti asideg ti Pi Hahirot, sakbay iti Baal Zefon.
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 Idi umas-asidegen ni Faraon, kimmita dagiti Israelita ket nakigtotda. Magmagna dagiti Egipcio a sumarsaruno kadakuada, ket nagbutengda. Immawag dagiti Israelita kenni Yahweh.
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 Imbagada kenni Moises, “Gapu kadi ta awan iti pangitaneman idiay Egipto, isu nga inkuyognakami nga umadayo tapno matay iti let-ang? Apay a kastoy ti panangtratom kadakami, nga impanawdakami idiay Egipto?
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 Saan aya a daytoy ti imbagami idiay Egipto? Imbagami kenka, 'Panawandakami, tapno makapagtrabahokami para kadagiti Egipcio. Nasaysayaat pay koma para kadakami nga agtrabaho kadakuada ngem ti matay iti let-ang.”'
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 Kinuna ni Moises kadagiti tattao, “Saankayo nga agbuteng. Agtakderkayo laeng ket kitaenyo ti panangispal ni Yahweh kadakayo iti daytoy nga aldaw. Ta saanyonton pulos a makita pay dagiti Egipcio a makitkitayo iti daytoy nga aldaw.
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 Ni Yahweh ti makiranget para kadakayo, ket agtakderkayo laeng.”
Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
15 Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Apay a sika, Moises kanayonka nga umaw-awag kaniak? Ibagam kadagiti Israelita nga ituloyda iti magna.
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 Ingatom ti sarrukodmo, iyunnatmo dayta imam iti baybay ken guduaem daytoy iti dua, tapno makapagna dagiti tattao iti Israel a mapan iti baybay babaen iti namaga a daga.
17 Agsiputkayo ta patangkenekto ti puso dagiti Egipcio tapno sumarunoda kadakayo. Maidaydayawakto gapu kenni Faraon ken kadagiti amin nga armadana, kadagiti karwahena, ken kadagiti kumakabalyo a tattaona.
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 Ket maamoanto dagiti Egipcio a siak ni Yahweh inton magun-odko ti dayaw gapu kenni Faraon, kadagiti karwahena, ken kadagiti kumakabalyona.”
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 Ti anghel ti Dios, nga agdaldaliasat iti sangoanan dagiti Israelita, ket immakar ken napan iti likudanda. Ti adigi nga ulep ket immakar manipud kadakuada ket napan nagtakder iti likudanda.
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 Napan ti ulep iti nagbaetan iti kampo ti Egipto ken ti kampo iti Israel. Daytoy ket nasipnget nga ulep kadagiti Egipcio, ngem nanglawag kadagiti Israelita iti rabii, isu a saan a makainnasideg iti agsinnumbangir iti nagpatnag.
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 Inyunnat ni Moises ti imana iti baybay. Induron ni Yahweh ti baybay babaen iti napigsa nga angin nga aggapu iti daya iti agpatnag ket nagbalin ti baybay a namaga a daga. Iti daytoy a wagas naggudua ti danum.
[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 Napan dagiti Israelita iti tengnga iti baybay iti namaga a daga. Nagporma a pader ti danum para kadakuada iti makannawan nga imada ken makannigid nga imada.
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 Kinamat ida dagiti Egipcio. Simmarunoda kadakuada iti tengnga ti baybay—amin a kabalyo ni Faraon, karawahe ken kumakabalyo.
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 Ngem iti agsapa, kimmita ni Yahweh kadagiti armada ti Egipcio babaen iti adigi nga apuy ken ulep. Pinagkakaribusona dagiti Egipcio.
Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
25 Naikkat dagiti dalig ti karwahe, ken dagiti kumakabalyo ket narigatanda a nangiturong. Isu a kinuna dagiti Egipcio, “Masapul nga umadayotayo manipud iti Israel, ta makirangranget ni Yahweh para kadakuada maibusor kadatayo.”
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 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Iyunnatmo dayta imam iti baybay tapno agsubli ti danum kadagiti Egipcio, kadagiti karwaheda, ken kadagiti kumakabalyo.”
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 Ngarud, inyunnat ni Moises ti imana iti baybay, ket nagsubli iti kasisigud a langana idi nagparang iti agsapa. Naglibas dagiti Egipcio iti baybay, ket inturong ni Yahweh dagiti Egipcio iti tengngana daytoy.
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 Nagsubli ti danum ket nalapunos dagiti karwahe ni Faraon, kumakabalyo, ken ti entero nga armada a simmaruno iti karwahe iti baybay. Awan ti siasinoman a nakalasat.
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 Nupay kasta, nagna dagiti Israelita iti namaga a daga iti tengnga ti baybay. Ti danum ti nagbalin a paderda iti makannawan ken iti makannigid nga imada.
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 Isu nga insalakan ni Yahweh ti Israel iti dayta nga aldaw manipud iti ima dagiti Egipcio, ken nakita ti Israel dagiti natay nga Egipcio iti igid ti baybay.
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 Idi nakita ti Israel ti naindaklan a pannakabalin nga inaramat ni Yahweh maibusor kadagiti Egipcio, pinadayawan dagiti tattao ni Yahweh, ken nagtalekda kenni Yahweh ken iti adipenna a ni Moises.
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.
