Kobima 14
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 « Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete bazonga mpe batonga molako pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti, kati ya Migidoli mpe ebale monene. Batonga yango etalana na Bala-Tsefoni pembeni ya ebale monene.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba‘al-Zephon; you encamp in front of it by the sea,
3 Faraon akokanisa ete bana ya Isalaele babungi na mokili, esobe ekangi bango.
and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
4 Nakokomisa motema ya Faraon libanga, mpe ye akolanda bango; kasi nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai, nakotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye; bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. » Bana ya Isalaele basalaki bongo.
and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he has pursued after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH”; and they do so.
5 Tango bayebisaki mokonzi ya Ejipito ete bana ya Isalaele bakimi, Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye babongolaki makanisi na bango mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe balobaki: « Likambo nini oyo tosali? Totiki Isalaele kokende mpe tozangeli bato oyo bakoki kosalela biso! »
And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people have fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, “What [is] this we have done, that we have sent Israel away from our service?”
6 Boye Faraon azwaki shar oyo ezalaki ya kobombama mpe azwaki mampinga na ye elongo na ye.
And he harnesses his chariot, and he has taken his people with him,
7 Akamataki bashar nkama motoba oyo eleki malamu elongo na bashar nyonso ya Ejipito; shar moko na moko ezalaki na basoda misato.
and he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
8 Yawe akomisaki motema ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, libanga mpo ete alanda bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kotambola na bonsomi nyonso.
and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursues after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand,
9 Bato ya Ejipito, bampunda nyonso ya Faraon mpe shar mosusu ya Faraon elongo na bato oyo batambolisaka yango mpe mampinga mosusu ya Faraon balandaki bana ya Isalaele mpe bazwaki bango tango batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti oyo etalana na Bala-Tsefoni.
and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Ba‘al-Zephon.
10 Lokola Faraon apusanaki, bana ya Isalaele batombolaki miso na bango mpe bamonaki ete bato ya Ejipito bazali kolanda bango na sima. Bana ya Isalaele babangaki makasi mpe bagangaki epai na Yawe.
And Pharaoh has drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
11 Balobaki na Moyize: — Boni, ezali mpo ete malita ezali te na Ejipito, yango wana omemi biso mpo ete tokufa na esobe? Osali biso nini awa obimisi biso na Ejipito?
And they say to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in a wilderness? What is this you have done to us—to bring us out from Egypt?
12 Toyebisaki yo te tango tozalaki na Ejipito: « Tika biso kimia, tika biso tosalela bato ya Ejipito? » Pamba te elekaki malamu mpo na biso kosalela bato ya Ejipito na esika ya kokufa na esobe.
Is this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for [it is] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?”
13 Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Bobanga te, boyika mpiko! Bokomona kokangolama oyo Yawe akomemela bino lelo; bato ya Ejipito oyo bozali komona lelo, bokotikala komona bango lisusu te.
And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, station yourselves, and see the salvation of YHWH, which He does for you today; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you add no more to see them for all time;
14 Yawe akobunda mpo na bino, mpe bino bovanda kimia.
YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
15 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mpo na nini ozali koganga boye epai na Ngai? Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete batambola.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
16 Kasi yo, tombola lingenda na yo, sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpe kabola mayi mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bakoka kokatisa ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka.
and you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand toward the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
17 Bongo Ngai, nakoyeisa motema ya bato ya Ejipito libanga mpo ete balanda bino mpe nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye nyonso elongo na bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
And I—behold, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, by his chariots, and by his horsemen;
18 Bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon, bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by his horsemen.”
19 Anjelu na Nzambe oyo azalaki kotambola liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele azongaki sima na bango, mpe likonzi ya lipata elongwaki liboso na bango mpo ete etelema sima na bango.
And the Messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeys and goes at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeys from their front, and stands at their rear,
20 Likonzi ya lipata etelemaki kati ya mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya bana ya Isalaele. Likonzi ya lipata epesaki molili na ngambo moko mpe engengisaki ngambo mosusu; yango wana butu mobimba, bato ya Ejipito bakokaki kopusana te pembeni ya bana ya Isalaele.
and comes in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlightens the night, and the one has not drawn near to the other all the night.
21 Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene; bongo na butu mobimba, Yawe atindaki na ebale monene mopepe makasi ya este oyo ekabolaki mayi ya ebale monene.
And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and YHWH causes the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and makes the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
22 Bato ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left.
23 Bato ya Ejipito balandaki bango mpe bango nyonso bakotaki kati na ebale monene: bampunda nyonso ya Faraon, bashar na ye mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) into the midst of the sea,
24 Liboso ete tongo etana, Yawe atelemaki na likolo ya likonzi ya moto mpe ya lipata, atalaki mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe akotisaki mobulu kati na yango.
and it comes to pass, in the morning watch, that YHWH looks to the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubles the camp of the Egyptians,
25 Alongolaki bapine na bashar na bango mpo ete bamona pasi mpo na kokumba. Boye bato ya Ejipito balobaki: — Tokima mosika ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te Yawe azali kobundela bango liboso na biso.
and turns aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpo ete mayi ezonga mpe ekweyela bato ya Ejipito, bashar na bango mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene, mpe liboso ete tongo etana, ebale monene ezongaki na esika na yango mpe bato ya Ejipito oyo balukaki kokima, bakutanaki na mayi liboso na bango. Boye Yawe azindisaki bango kati na ebale monene.
And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and the sea turns back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and YHWH shakes off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,
28 Mayi ezongaki mpe ezipaki bashar elongo na batambolisi ya bampunda mpe mampinga ya Faraon oyo elandaki bana ya Isalaele kati na ebale monene. Moko te kati na bango abikaki.
and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there has not been left even one of them.
29 Kasi bana ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left;
30 Na mokolo wana, Yawe abikisaki bana ya Isalaele liboso ya bato ya Ejipito mpe bana ya Isalaele bamonaki bibembe ya bato ya Ejipito etandami na libongo ya ebale monene.
and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
31 Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki nguya monene oyo Yawe atalisaki liboso ya bato ya Ejipito, babangaki Yawe mpe batiaki elikya na bango kati na Ye mpe kati na mosali na Ye Moyize.
and Israel sees the great hand with which YHWH has worked against the Egyptians, and the people fear YHWH, and remain steadfast in YHWH, and in His servant Moses.
