< Eksodosy 14 >

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then Yahweh 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.
“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 Ary Farao hilaza ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Azon’ ny tamberintany izy ka voahidin’ ny efitra.
Pharaoh will say about the Israelites, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has closed in on 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.
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 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?
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 Dia nasainy nofehezina tamin’ ny kalesy ny soavaly, sady nitondra ny vahoakany hanaraka azy izy.
Then Pharaoh got his chariots ready and took his army with him.
7 Ary nitondra kalesy enin-jato voafantina sy ny kalesin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra izy, izay samy nisy mpiady avy izy rehetra.
He took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers on all of them.
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.
Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and the king pursued the Israelites. Now the Israelites had gone away in triumph.
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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 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 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.
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 Jehovah hiady ho anareo, fa ianareo kosa hangina.
Yahweh will fight for you, and you will only have to stand still.”
15 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Nahoana no mitaraina amiko ianao? lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba handroso.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Why are you, Moses, continuing to call out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
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.
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 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,
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 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.
Then the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten honor because of Pharaoh, his chariots, and 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
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
The Egyptians pursued them. They went after them into the middle of the sea—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
So Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw dead Egyptians on the seashore.
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.
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.
