Eksodosy 15
1 Ary Mosesy sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nihira izao fihirana izao ho an’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Hihira ho an’ i Jehovah aho, fa avo indrindra Izy; ny soavaly sy ny mpitaingina azy efa nariany ao amin’ ny ranomasina.
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 Jehovah no heriko sy fiderako, fa efa famonjena ahy Izy; izao no Andriamanitro, ka hankalaza Azy aho, dia Andriamanitry ny razako, ka hanandratra Azy aho.
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 Jehovah dia mpiady mahery, Jehovah no anarany.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 Ny kalesin’ i Farao sy ny miaramilany natsipiny ao amin’ ny ranomasina; ary ny kapiteny voafantina nasitrika ao amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena.
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 Ny lalina nanarona azy: Nilentika tany ambany indrindra tahaka ny vato izy.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Ny tananao ankavanana, Jehovah ô, efa malaza amin’ ny hery; ny tananao ankavanana, Jehovah ô, manorotoro ny fahavalo.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 Amin’ ny halehiben’ ny voninahitrao no andringananao izay nitsangana hanohitra Anao; alefanao ny fahatezeranao mirehitra, izay mandevona azy toy ny mololo.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 Ary ny fofonain’ ny vavoronao no nanangonanao ny rano; nivongovongo toy ny antontan-javatra ny rano maria; nandry teo afovoan’ ny ranomasina ny lalina.
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 Hoy ny fahavalo: Hanenjika aho, hahatratra aho, hizara babo aho ka hanao izay sitraky ny foko aminy, hotsoahako ny sabatra, ka hamongotra azy ny tanako.
[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 Ny fofonainao no nitsofanao, dia nanarona azy ny ranomasina: nilentika tahaka ny firaka ao amin’ ny rano mahery izy.
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 Jehovah ô, iza moa no tahaka Anao amin’ izay andriamanitra? Iza moa no tahaka Anao, Izay ankalazaina amin’ ny fahamasinana, deraina amin’ ny fahatahorana, Mpanao fahagagana?
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 Nahinjitrao ny tananao ankavanana, dia nitelina ireo ny tany.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 Tarihinao amin’ ny famindram-ponao ny firenena izay navotanao, ka entinao amin’ ny herinao ho any amin’ ny fonenanao masìna izy.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Mandre ny firenena ka raiki-tahotra; Hovitra no mahazo ny mponina any Filistia;
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 Toran-kovitra ny loham-pirenen’ i Edoma; azon-korohoro ny lehilahy maherin’ i Moaba; reraka ny fon’ izay rehetra monina any Kanana.
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 Mahazo azy ny tahotra sy ny hovitra; Noho ny halehiben’ ny sandrinao dia mangìna tahaka ny vato izy, mandra-pandalon’ ny olonao, Jehovah ô, mandra-pandalon’ny olona izay navotanao.
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 Dia hampiditra azy Hianao ka hamponina azy ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra lovanao, ao amin’ ny fitoerana nataonao hitoeranao, Jehovah ô, dia ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna naorin’ ny tananao, Tompo ô.
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 Jehovah hanjaka mandrakizay doria.
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 Fa niditra teo amin’ ny ranomasina ny soavalin’ i Farao sy ny kalesiny ary ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny, ary Jehovah nampikatona ny ranomasina taminy; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely kosa nandeha tamin’ ny tany maina teo afovoan’ ny ranomasina.
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 Ary Miriama mpaminanivavy, anabavin’ i Arona, dia nitondra ny ampongatapaka teny an-tànany; ary nivoaka nanaraka azy ny vehivavy rehetra nitondra ampongatapaka sady nandihy.
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 Ary Miriama namaly ireo lehilahy ireo ka nihira hoe: Mihira ho an’ i Jehovah, fa avo indrindra Izy; ny soavaly sy ny mpitaingina azy nariany ao amin’ ny ranomasina.
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 Ary Mosesy nitondra ny Isiraely nifindra avy teo amoron’ ny Ranomasina Mena, dia nandroso ho any amin’ ny efitra Sora izy; ary nandeha hateloana tany an-efitra izy fa tsy nahita rano.
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 Dia tonga tao Mara izy, fa tsy nahasotro ny rano tao Mara, satria nangidy izany; koa izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Mara
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 Dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Inona no hosotroinay?
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Ary dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy, ka dia nanehoan’ i Jehovah hazo anankiray, ary rehefa natsipiny tao anatin’ ny rano izany, dia tonga mamy ny rano. Tao no nanomezan’ i Jehovah lalàna sy fitsipika ho azy, ary tao no nizaha ny toetra azy,
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 ka hoy Izy: Raha hazoto hihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka hanao izay mahitsy eo imasony sy hihaino ny lalàny ary hitandrina ny didiny rehetra, dia tsy hisy hataoko aminao ireny aretina rehetra ireny, izay nataoko tamin’ ny Egyptiana; fa Izaho no Jehovah Izay mahasitrana anao.
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 Ary tonga tao Elima izy; ary tao nisy loharano roa ambin’ ny folo sy hazo rofia fito-polo, dia nitoby teo anilan’ ny rano izy.
[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.
