1 Na Moses ac mwet Israel onkakin on soko inge nu sin LEUM GOD: “Nga fah on nu sin LEUM GOD mweyen El kutangla ke sie kutangla wolana; El sisla horse uh ac mwet kasrusr fac nu in meoa.
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 Leum God El nien molela na ku luk, El pa moliyula. El God luk, ac nga fah kaksakunul. El God lun papa tumuk, ac nga fah onkakin ku fulat lal.
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 LEUM GOD El oana sie mwet mweun, Inel pa LEUM GOD.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 “El sisla un mwet mweun lun Egypt ac chariot uh nu in meoa, Captain ma sumat emeet elos walomla in Meoa Srusra.
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).
5 Meoa loallana afnulosla; Elos tili nwe kapin meoa uh oana eot uh.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 “LEUM GOD, lac poum layot wolana ac kulana, Lac poum layot foklalik mwet lokoalok in ip srisrik.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 Ke kutangla kulana, kom siselosla su lain kom; Ke follana lun kasrkusrak lom, kom esukulosyak oana mah pao.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 Kom uk fin meoa uh ac kof uh ilusyukyak fulat nu lucng; Tuyak suwohs oana sinka se; Acn loallana meoa uh kekela.
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 Mwet lokoalok el fahk, ‘Nga fah ukwalos ac sruokolosi. Nga fah kitalik mwe kasrup lalos ac eis ma nukewa nga lungse; Nga fah fwacla cutlass nutik uh, ac eisla ma lalos nukewa.’
[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 Tusruktu ke mong sefanna lom, LEUM GOD, na mwet Egypt uh walomla; Elos tili oana lead in kof pulkulak.
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 “O LEUM GOD, su inmasrlon god uh oana kom? Su oana kom in mutal wolana lom? Su ku in oru mwenmen ac orekma kulana oana kom?
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 Kom asroela lac poum layot, Ac faclu okomla mwet lokoalok lasr.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 Ke sripen lungse kawil lom, kom oaru ac pwanla mwet su kom molela; Ke ku lom, kom pwanulos nu ke facl mutal sum.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Mutanfahl uh lohng kac, ac elos rarrar ke sangeng; Mwet Philistia elos keok ke tuninfong lalos.
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 Mwet kol lun Edom elos wi pac tuninfongla; Mwet kulana lun Moab elos rarrar; Ac wanginla pulaik lun mwet Canaan.
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.
16 Tuninfong ac fosrnga putati nu faclos. Ke elos liye po kulana lom, O LEUM GOD, Elos koflana mukuikui, oana eot uh, Nwe ke na mwet lom, su kom molela liki kohs, Elos takla fahsr alukelosla.
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,
17 Kom usalosme ac oakelosi fineol sum, Acn se su kom, LEUM GOD, sulela in nien muta lom, Sie acn mutal su kom sifacna musaela.
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 LEUM GOD, kom ac fah tokosra nwe tok ma pahtpat.”
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 Mwet Israel fahsr sasla in meoa fin acn pao. Tusruktu pacl se chariot lun Egypt wi horse uh ac mwet kasrusr fac tuh som nu in meoa uh, LEUM GOD El folokoneni kof uh nu faclos ac afnulosla.
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 Mutan palu Miriam, su ma wial Aaron, el eis tambourine natul, ac mutan nukewa wi fahsr tokol. Elos srital ke tambourine ac onsrosro.
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 el yuk soko on in topkolos: “Kowos on nu sin LEUM GOD, mweyen El kutangla ke sie kutangla wolana. El sisla horse uh ac mwet kasrusr fac nu in meoa.”
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 Na Moses el pwanla mwet Israel liki Meoa Srusra nu yen mwesis Shur. Elos fahsr len tolu yen mwesis, ac tiana konauk kof.
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 Na elos tuku nu ke sie acn pangpang Marah, tusruktu kof we arulana mwen, oru elos tia ku in nim, pa sripa se sis acn sac pangpang Marah.
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 Mwet uh torkaskas nu sel Moses ac siyuk, “Mea kut ac nim uh?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Moses el insianaung in pre nu sin LEUM GOD, ac LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sel sie polosak. Na Moses el sisang nu inkof uh, ac kof uh ekla ku in nimnim. In acn Marah LEUM GOD El sang ma sap nu selos tuh elos in moul kac, ac oayapa El srikalos we.
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 El fahk, “Kowos fin arulana porongeyu, ac oru ma suwohs ye mutuk, ac liyaung ma nga sapkin, ac akos kas luk, na nga fah tia kai kowos ke kutena mas upa oana nga tuh oru nu sin mwet Egypt. Nga LEUM GOD, su akkeye kowos.”
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 Toko elos tuku nu Elim, acn se ma oasr unon singoul luo ac sak palm itngoul we. Elos tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos wekof uh.
[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.
