Kobima 15
1 Moyize mpe bana ya Isalaele bayembaki loyembo oyo mpo na lokumu ya Yawe: Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, mpo ete amonisi monene ya nkembo na Ye! Azindisi mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango kati na ebale monene.
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to Yahweh. They sang, “I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea.
2 Yawe azali makasi na ngai, azali solo loyembo na ngai, azali mobikisi na ngai, azali Nzambe na ngai, nakokumisa Ye; azali Nzambe ya tata na ngai, nakonetola Ye.
Yahweh is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 Yawe azali elombe ya bitumba; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 Azindisi na ebale monene, bashar mpe mampinga ya Faraon; abwaki na ebale monene ya barozo, bakonzi mpe basoda oyo Faraon atielaka motema.
He has thrown Pharaoh's chariots and army into the sea. Pharaoh's chosen officers were drowned in the Sea of Reeds.
5 Mozindo ya mayi ezipi bango, bakiti kino na se ya ebale monene lokola libanga.
The depths covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Loboko na Yo ya mobali, oh Yawe, emonisi nguya na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali, oh Yawe, enyati monguna.
Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power; your right hand, Yahweh, has shattered the enemy.
7 Na monene ya nguya na Yo, obebisi batelemeli na Yo; na kanda na Yo, otombokeli bango, mpe baziki lokola matiti.
In great majesty you overthrew those who rose up against you. You sent out your wrath; it consumed them like stubble.
8 Na pema ya zolo na Yo, mayi ekabwani, bambonge etelemi lokola mir, mpe mozindo ya mayi ekangami kati na ebale monene.
By the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up; the flowing waters stood upright in a heap; the deep water was congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 Monguna amilobelaki: « Nakolanda bango kino nakokanga bango, molimo na ngai ekotonda na biloko oyo nakobotola; nakobimisa mopanga na ngai, mpe loboko na ngai ekobebisa bango. »
The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will share out the plunder; my desire will be satisfied on them; I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.'
10 Kasi Yo, Yawe, ofuli mopepe na Yo, mpe ebale monene ezipi bango. Bazindi lokola mbodi kati na mayi makasi.
But you blew with your wind, and the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 Oh Yawe, nani kati na banzambe azali lokola Yo? Nani azali lokola Yo, kitoko makasi kati na bosantu, somo, mpe abongi na lokumu, mpe asalaka makambo ya kokamwa?
Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, honored in praises, doing miracles?
12 Osembolaki loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe mabele emeli bango.
You reached out with your right hand, and the earth swallowed them.
13 Na bolingo na Yo, otambolisi bato oyo okangoli. Na makasi na Yo, omemi bango na Ndako na Yo ya bule.
In your covenant loyalty you have led the people you have rescued. In your strength you have led them to the holy place where you live.
14 Bikolo eyoki sango na yango mpe ekomi kolenga, somo ekangaki bato ya Filisitia.
The peoples will hear, and they will tremble; terror will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Bakambi ya Edomi bakomi na somo, bankumu ya Moabi bakomi kolenga, bato ya Kanana balembi nzoto.
Then the chiefs of Edom will fear; the soldiers of Moab will shake; all the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.
16 Kobanga mpe somo ekweyeli bango. Na nguya ya loboko na Yo, bakomi bababa lokola libanga kino bato na Yo, oh Yawe, balekaki, kino bato oyo osikolaki balekaki.
Terror and dread will fall on them. Because of your arm's power, they will become as still as a stone until your people pass by, Yahweh— until the people you have rescued pass by.
17 Okomema bango mpe okovandisa bango na ngomba na Yo, esika oyo obongisaki, oh Nkolo, mpo na kovanda, Esika ya bule, oh Yawe, esika oyo maboko na Yo esalaki.
You will bring them and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, that you have made to live in, the sanctuary, our Lord, that your hands have built.
18 Yawe akotikala mokonzi libela na libela!
Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”
19 Tango bampunda ya Faraon, bashar na ye elongo na bato oyo batambolisaka yango bamikotisaki kati na ebale monene, Yawe azongisaki mayi ya ebale monene likolo na bango. Nzokande bana ya Isalaele bakatisaki ebale monene lokola na esobe.
For Pharaoh's horses went with his chariots and horsemen into the sea. Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them. But the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
20 Miriami, mwasi mosakoli mpe ndeko mwasi ya Aron, azwaki mbunda moke na loboko na ye mpe basi nyonso balandaki ye; bazalaki kobeta bambunda mike mpe kobina.
Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron, picked up a tambourine, and all the women went out with tambourines, dancing along with her.
21 Miriami ayembaki elongo na bango: « Boyembela Yawe, pamba te amonisi monene ya nkembo na Ye; azindisi na ebale monene, mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango. »
Miriam sang to them: “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”
22 Moyize atambolisaki bana ya Isalaele wuta na ebale monene ya barozo mpe amemaki bango na nzela oyo ekenda na esobe ya Shuri. Batambolaki mikolo misato kati na esobe mpe bamonaki mayi te.
Then Moses led Israel onward from the Sea of Reeds. They went out into the wilderness of Shur. They traveled for three days into the wilderness and found no water.
23 Tango bakomaki na Mara epai wapi bamonaki mayi, bakokaki te komela mayi yango, pamba te ezalaki bololo. Yango wana babengaki esika yango Mara.
Then they came to Marah, but they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. So they called that place Marah.
24 Boye bato bayimaki-yimaki na tina na Moyize mpe balobaki: « Tokomela nini? »
So the people complained to Moses and said, “What can we drink?”
25 Boye Moyize abelelaki Yawe, mpe Yawe alakisaki ye eteni ya nzete. Moyize abwakaki yango na mayi, mpe mayi ekomaki elengi mpo na komela. Ezalaki kuna nde Yawe apesaki bango bikateli, mibeko mpe amekaki bango.
Moses cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him a tree. Moses threw it into the water, and the water became sweet to drink. It was there that Yahweh gave them a strict law, and it was there that he tested them.
26 Alobaki: « Soki boyoki na bokebi mongongo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bosali oyo ezali sembo na miso na Ye, soki bosali keba na malako na Ye mpe bobateli bikateli na Ye nyonso, nakotindela bino ata bokono moko te oyo natindelaki bato ya Ejipito; pamba te nazali Yawe oyo abikisaka bino na bokono. »
He said, “If you carefully listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and do what is right in his eyes, and if you give ear to his commands and obey all his laws—I will put on you none of the diseases that I put on the Egyptians, for I am Yahweh who heals you.”
27 Bongo bana ya Isalaele bakomaki na Elimi epai wapi bitima zomi na mibale mpe banzete ya mbila tuku sambo ezalaki. Ezalaki kuna nde batongaki molako na bango, pene ya mayi.
Then the people came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They camped there by the water.
