Exodus 14
1 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Fahk nu sin mwet Israel elos in folokla ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos fototo nu Pi Hahiroth, su oan inmasrlon Migdol ac Meoa Srusra, ac apkuran nu Baal Zephon.
“Say to the Israelites that they should turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You are to camp by the sea opposite Pi Hahiroth.
3 Tokosra Egypt el ac nunku mu mwet Israel elos tuhlac putakusa, ac yen mwesis uh sruokolosi elos tia ku in sun acn elos fahsr nu we.
Pharaoh will say about the Israelites, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
4 Nga ac sifilpa akupaye nankal tokosra, ac el ac fah ukwe kowos. Kutangla luk nu sel tokosra ac un mwet mweun lal uh fah oru mwet uh in akfulatyeyu. Na mwet Egypt fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.” Mwet Israel elos oru oana ma sapkinyuk nu selos.
I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army. The Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” So the Israelites camped as they were instructed.
5 Ke fwackyang nu sin tokosra lun Egypt lah mwet uh kaingla, el ac mwet fulat lal aolla nunak lalos ac fahk, “Mea se kut oru ah, ku kut fuhlela mwet Israel in kaingla, ac inge wangin mwet kohs in orekma nu sesr!”
When the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had fled, the minds of Pharaoh and his servants turned against the people. They said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
6 Tokosra el sap in akoeyukla chariot in mweun okoal, ac un mwet mweun lal in wi pac akola.
Then Pharaoh got his chariots ready and took his army with him.
7 El mukuiyak ke chariot onfoko ma arulana wo, wi pac chariot nukewa saya, ac oasr captain fin chariot inge nukewa.
He took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers on all of them.
8 LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el ukwe mwet Israel su pulaik in fahsr ye koko lun LEUM GOD.
Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and the king pursued the Israelites. Now the Israelites had gone away in triumph.
9 Un mwet mweun lun Egypt, wi horse ac chariot nukewa ac mwet kasrusr fac, elos ukwala mwet Israel ac sonolos yen elos aktuktuk we sisken Meoa Srusra, apkuran nu Pi Hahiroth ac Baal Zephon.
But the Egyptians pursued them, together with all his horses and chariots, his horsemen, and his army. They overtook the Israelites camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 Ke mwet Israel liyauk lah tokosra Egypt ac un mwet mweun lal takla tuku in lainulos, elos tuninfongla ac wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.
When Pharaoh came close, the Israelites looked up and were surprised. The Egyptians were marching after them, and they were terrified. The Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
11 Elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Ya wangin kulyuk in acn Egypt, pa kom uskutme nu yen mwesis kut in misa we? Efu kom ku oru ouinge nu sesr ac uskutme liki acn Egypt?
They said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us like this, bringing us out of Egypt?
12 Ya kut tuh tia fahk nu sum meet liki kut mukuiyak ah lah ma inge ac mau sikyak? Kut tuh fahk kom in tia nunku kacsr — mansis kut in mwet kohs na nu sin mwet Egypt. Ac wona kut in mwet kohs we liki na in misa inge yen mwesis uh.”
Is this not what we told you in Egypt? We said to you, 'Leave us alone, so we can work for the Egyptians.' It would have been better for us to work for them than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Moses el topuk, “Nikmet sangeng! Tu na ku, ac kowos fah liye ma LEUM GOD El ac fah oru in molikowos misenge. Kowos fah tia sifilpa liye mwet Egypt inge.
Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the rescue that Yahweh will provide for you today. For you will never see again the Egyptians whom you see today.
14 LEUM GOD El ac aol kowos in mweun, ac wanginna ma kowos ac enenu in oru.”
Yahweh will fight for you, and you will only have to stand still.”
15 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Efu kom ku kwafe nu sik nga in kasrekowos? Fahk nu sin mwet uh in fahsr nu meet.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Why are you, Moses, continuing to call out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
16 Kolak sikal lom ac asroela nu fin meoa. Kof uh ac fah fahsrelik, ac mwet Israel fah ku in fahsr sasla in meoa fin acn pao.
Lift up your staff, reach out with your hand over the sea and divide it in two, so that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.
17 Nga fah akupaye nankan mwet Egypt tuh elos in ukwekowoswot, ac Inek ac fah pwengpeng ke kutangla luk facl tokosra ac un mwet mweun lal, wi chariot ac mwet kasrusr fac kewa.
Be aware that I will harden the Egyptians' hearts so they will go after them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
18 Pacl se nga ac kutangulosla, mwet Egypt fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
Then the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten honor because of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 Lipufan lun God, su nuna fahsr meet liki un mwet mweun lun Israel, el somla ac fahsr tokolos. Sru in pukunyeng sac mukuila nu
The angel of God, who went before the Israelites, moved and went behind them. The pillar of cloud moved from before them and went to stand behind them.
20 inmasrlon mwet Egypt ac mwet Israel. Pukunyeng sac oru lohsr nu sin mwet Egypt, a sang kalem nu sin mwet Israel, pwanang u lulap luo inge koflana apkuraneni nu sie fong nufon se.
The cloud came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. It was a dark cloud to the Egyptians, but it lit the night for the Israelites, so one side did not come near the other all night.
21 Moses el asroela paol nu fin meoa, ac LEUM GOD El oru tuh sie eng upa kutulap me in akfahsryelik kof uh. Eng sac tuh ke fong fon se, ac ekulla meoa uh nu ke acn pao. Kof uh fahsrelik
Moses reached out with his hand over the sea. Yahweh drove the sea back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea into dry land. In this way the waters were divided.
22 ac mwet Israel fahsr sasla meoa fin acn pao, ac kof uh tuyak lac lac, sinkaeak acn elos fahsr we.
The Israelites went into the middle of the sea on dry ground. The waters formed a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Mwet Egypt ukwalos ac alfokfoklana tokolos nu in meoa uh, wi horse ac chariot nukewa, ac elos su kasrusr fac.
The Egyptians pursued them. They went after them into the middle of the sea—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen.
24 Meet liki na kusrun len sikyak, LEUM GOD El ngeti liki sru in e ac pukunyeng sac nu fin un mwet mweun lun Egypt, ac oru elos arulana sangeng ac fohsak.
But in the early morning hours, Yahweh looked down on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and cloud. He caused panic among the Egyptians.
25 El oru tuh wheel in chariot okoalos in fulfuli, pwanang upa na elos in kasrusr. Mwet Egypt fahk, “Kut kaingla! LEUM GOD El mweun ke mwet Israel lain kut.”
Their chariot wheels were clogged, and the horsemen drove with difficulty. So the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel, for Yahweh is fighting for them against us.”
26 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Asroela poum nu fin meoa, na kof uh fah folokeni nu fin mwet Egypt ac chariot okoalos ac mwet su muta fac.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back onto the Egyptians, their chariots, and their horsemen.”
27 Ouinge Moses el asroela paol nu fin meoa uh, ac ke lenelik kof uh folokeni in oana meet ah. Mwet Egypt elos srike in kaingla liki kof uh, tuh LEUM GOD El siselosyang nu in meoa uh.
So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and it returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. The Egyptians fled into the sea, and Yahweh drove the Egyptians into the middle of it.
28 Kof uh folokeni ac afunla chariot, mwet us horse uh, ac un mwet mweun lun Egypt su ukwe mwet Israel nu in meoa uh. Wangin sie selos moul.
The waters came back and covered Pharaoh's chariots, horsemen, and his entire army that had followed the chariots into the sea. No one survived.
29 A mwet Israel fahsr sasla in meoa fin acn pao, ac kof uh tuyak lac lac sinkaeak acn elos fahsr we.
However, the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.
30 LEUM GOD El molela mwet Israel liki mwet Egypt ke len sac, ac mwet Israel elos liye ke elos alapelik oan misa wekof uh.
So Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw dead Egyptians on the seashore.
31 Ke mwet Israel liye lah yoklana ku su LEUM GOD El oru in sang kutangla mwet Egypt, elos tu na in oela sin LEUM GOD, ac elos lulalfongi LEUM GOD, ac oayapa Moses mwet kulansap lal.
When Israel saw the great power that Yahweh used against the Egyptians, the people honored Yahweh, and they trusted in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
