Eksodosy 14
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba hivily izy ka hitoby eo akaikin’ i Pi-hahirota, eo anelanelan’ i Migdolasy ny ranomasina; eo akaikin’ i Bala-zefona, dia tandrifiny, no hitobianareo, eo amoron’ ny ranomasina.
“Speak to the sons of Israel. Let them turn back and encamp away from the region of Pihahiroth, which is between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal-zephon. In its sight you shall place your camp, above the sea.
3 Ary Farao hilaza ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Azon’ ny tamberintany izy ka voahidin’ ny efitra.
And Pharaoh will say about the sons of Israel, ‘They have been confined by the land; the desert has enclosed them.’
4 Dia hanamafy ny fon’ i Farao Aho, ka hanenjika anareo izy; dia hankalazaina Aho noho ny hataoko amin’ i Farao sy amin’ ny miaramilany rehetra, ka ho fantatry ny Egyptiana fa Izaho no Jehovah. Dia nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany.
And I will harden his heart, and so he will pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5 Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta fa efa nandositra ny olona, dia niova ny fon’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony ny amin’ ny olona, ka hoy izy: Inona izao nataontsika izao, no nandefa ny Isiraely hiala tamin’ ny fanompoany antsika isika?
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled. And the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed about the people, and they said, “What did we intend to do, so that we released Israel from serving us?”
6 Dia nasainy nofehezina tamin’ ny kalesy ny soavaly, sady nitondra ny vahoakany hanaraka azy izy.
Therefore, he harnessed his chariot, and he took all his people with him.
7 Ary nitondra kalesy enin-jato voafantina sy ny kalesin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra izy, izay samy nisy mpiady avy izy rehetra.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever chariots were in Egypt, and also the leaders of the whole army.
8 Ary Jehovah nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, dia nanenjika ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy, na dia tamin’ ny tanana avo aza no nivoahany.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the sons of Israel. But they were taken away by an exalted hand.
9 Koa nanenjika azy ny Egyptiana, dia ny soavaly rehetra mitarika ny kalesin’ i Farao sy ny soavaliny fitaingina ary ny miaramilany, ka nahatratra azy nitoby teo amoron’ ny ranomasina, teo anilan’ i Pi-hahirota, tandrifin’ i Balazefona.
And when the Egyptians followed the footsteps of those who preceded them, they found them in a camp above the sea. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and the entire army, were in Pihahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
10 Ary rehefa mby akaiky Farao, dia natopin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny masony, ka, indreo, ny Egyptiana tamy manenjika azy; dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah.
And when Pharaoh had drawn near, the sons of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them. And they were very afraid. And they cried out to the Lord.
11 Ary hoy koa izy tamin’ i Mosesy: Moa tsy nisy fasana va tany Egypta, no nentinao ho faty atỳ an-efitra izahay? Nahoana no nanao izany taminay ianao ka nitondra anay nivoaka avy tany Egypta?
And they said to Moses: “Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt, for which reason you took us to die in the wilderness. What is it that you intended to do, in leading us out of Egypt?
12 Tsy izao va no teny nolazainay taminao fony tany Egypta hoe: Aoka izay fa avelao ihany izahay hanompo ny Egyptiana? Fa aleonay manompo ny Egyptiana toy izay ho faty any an-efitra.
Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying: Withdraw from us, so that we may serve the Egyptians? For it was much better to serve them, than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny olona: Aza matahotra ianareo, mijanòna, fa ho hitanareo ny famonjen’ i Jehovah, izay hataony ho anareo anio; fa ny Egyptiana, izay hitanareo anio, dia tsy ho hitanareo intsony mandrakizay.
And Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the great wonders of the Lord, which he will do today. For the Egyptians, whom you now see, will never again be seen, forever.
14 Jehovah hiady ho anareo, fa ianareo kosa hangina.
The Lord will fight on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”
15 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Nahoana no mitaraina amiko ianao? lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba handroso.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to continue on.
16 Ary aingao ny tehinao, dia ahinjiro ambonin’ ny ranomasina ny tananao, ka saraho ny rano, dia handeha hamaky eo afovoan’ ny ranomasina mandia ny tany maina ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
Now, lift up your staff, and extend your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the sons of Israel may walk through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17 Ary, indro, Izaho hanamafy ny fon’ ny Egyptiana, ka hiditra hanenjika azy izy; dia hankalazaina Aho noho ny hataoko amin’ i Farao sy amin’ ny miaramilany rehetra mbamin’ ny kalesiny sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny,
Then I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, so as to pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen.
18 dia ho fantatry ny Egyptiana fa Izaho no Jehovah, rehefa ankalazaina Aho noho ny ataoko amin’ i Farao sy ny kalesiny sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny.
And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in his chariots, as well as in his horsemen.”
19 Ary Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra, Izay nandeha teo alohan’ ny tobin’ ny Isiraely, dia nifindra ka nankeo aoriany; ary ny andri-rahona nifindra niala teo alohany dia nijanona teo aoriany
And the Angel of God, who preceded the camp of Israel, lifting himself up, went behind them. And the pillar of cloud, together with him, left the front for the rear
20 ka tonga teo anelanelan’ ny tobin’ ny Egyptiana sy ny tobin’ ny Isiraely: dia teo ihany ny rahona sy ny fahamaizinana, nefa nampahazava ny alina kosa, ka dia tsy nifanatona izy roa tonta mandritra ny alina.
and stood between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. And it was a dark cloud, yet it illuminated the night, so that they could not succeed at approaching one another at any time all that night.
21 Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy teo ambonin’ ny ranomasina ny tànany; ary rivotra mahery avy atsinanana no nampisavan’ i Jehovah ny ranomasina mandritra iny alina iny, ka nataony tany maina ny ranomasina, ary dia voasaraka ny rano.
And when Moses had extended his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by an intense burning wind, blowing throughout the night, and he turned it into dry ground. And the water was divided.
22 Dia nandeha teo afovoan’ ny ranomasina nandia ny tany maina ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary ny rano dia tonga fefy ho azy teo amin’ ny ankavanany sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
And the sons of Israel went in through the midst of the dried sea. For the water was like a wall at their right hand and at their left hand.
23 Dia nanenjika azy ny Egyptiana ka niditra nanaraka azy teo afovoan’ ny ranomasina, dia ny soavalin’ i Farao rehetra sy ny kalesiny ary ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny.
And the Egyptians, pursuing them, went in after them, along with all of the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen, through the midst of the sea.
24 Ary tamin’ ny fiambenana maraina dia nijery ny tobin’ ny Egyptiana tao amin’ ny andri-afo sy ny rahona Jehovah ka nampifanaritaka ny tobin’ ny Egyptiana.
And now the morning watch had arrived, and behold, the Lord, looking down upon the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, put to death their army.
25 Ary nanala ny kodian’ ny kalesiny Izy ka nampahasarotra ny nandehanany, dia hoy ny Egyptiana: Aoka handositra ny tavan’ ny Isiraely isika, fa Jehovah no miady amin’ ny Egyptiana ho an’ ireo.
And he overturned the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. Therefore, the Egyptians said: “Let us flee from Israel. For the Lord fights on their behalf against us.”
26 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro eo ambonin’ ny ranomasina ny tananao, mba hikatonan’ ny rano amin’ ny Egyptiana mbamin’ ny kalesiny sy ny mpitaingin-tsoa valiny.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the sea, so that the waters may return on the Egyptians, over their chariots and horsemen.”
27 Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy teo ambonin’ ny ranomasina ny tànany, ka nikatona ho tahaka ny teo ny ranomasina, rehefa nadiva ho maraina ny andro; ary ny Egyptiana nandositra, kanjo nitsena ny rano ihany izy, dia narian’ i Jehovah teo afovoan’ ny ranomasina ny Egyptiana.
And when Moses had extended his hand opposite the sea, it was returned, at first light, to its former place. And the fleeing Egyptians met with the waters, and the Lord immersed them in the midst of the waves.
28 Ary dia nikatona ny rano ka nanarona ny kalesy sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly, dia ny miaramilan’ i Farao rehetra izay niditra teo amin’ ny ranomasina nanenjika ny Zanak’ Isiraely; koa tsy nisy niangana na dia iray akory aza.
And the waters were returned, and they covered the chariots and horsemen of the entire army of Pharaoh, who, in following, had entered into the sea. And not so much as one of them was left alive.
29 Fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely kosa nandeha tamin’ ny tany maina teo afovoan’ ny ranomasina; ary ny rano dia tonga fefy ho azy teo amin’ ny ankavanany sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
But the sons of Israel continued directly through the midst of the dried sea, and the waters were to them like a wall on the right and on the left.
30 Izany no namonjen’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany mba tsy ho azon’ ny Egyptiana; ary hitan’ ny Isiraely teny amoron’ ny ranomasina ny fatin’ ny Egyptiana.
And so the Lord freed Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians.
31 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny Isiraely ny asa lehibe izay nataon’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny Egyptiana, dia natahotra an’ i Jehovah ny olona ka nino an’ i Jehovah sy Mosesy mpanompony.
And they saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea and the great hand that the Lord had exercised against them. And the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses his servant.
