Eksodosy 14
1 Hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo ty hibalike naho hitobe aolo’ i Pi-Hakiròte; añivo’ i Migdòle naho i riakey, tandrife i Baal’ Tsefone; eo ty hitobea’ areo marine i riakey.
“Tell the Israeli people to turn around and go back and set up their tents in front of Pi-Hahiroth [town]. That town is between Migdol and the sea, across from Baal-Zephon [town]. Set up your tents there, close to the sea.
3 Le hatao’ i Parò te mikariokariok’ an-tamberen-tane ey avao ana’ Israeleo fa arikatoha’ i ratraratray.
When the king [knows you have done that], he will think, ‘The Israeli people are confused. They are wandering around, and the desert blocks their path.’
4 Aa le ho gañeko ty arofo’ i Parò vaho hihoridaña’e. Fe hahazo engeñe amy Parò naho amo fonga lahindefo’eo iraho, le ho fohi’ o nte-Mitsraimeo te Izaho Iehovà. Aa le nanoe’ iereo izay.
But I will make the king stubborn [again], and he will [take his army and] pursue you. Then my people will praise/thank me for winning a victory over the king and his army. And the Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” So [Moses/I told my people that, and] they did what he/I told them to do.
5 Ie nampandrendreheñe i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey te nibotatsak’ añe ondatio, le nibalintoa am’ ondatio ty fivetsevetse’ i Parò naho o mpitoro’eo vaho hoe iereo, Inoñe i nanoentika namotsotse o ana’ Israeleo tsy hitoroñ’ antikañey?
When someone told the king that the Israeli people had left [during the night], he and his officials changed their minds and said, “(What have we done?/What we have done was stupid!) [RHQ] The Israeli people will no longer be our slaves!”
6 Aa le nampihentseñe’e i sarete’ey vaho nampindreza’e ondati’eo.
So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
7 Ninday sarete enen-jato nijoboñen-dre vaho ze kila sarete’ i Mitsraime rekets’ o mpifehe’eo iaby.
Then he selected 600 of the best chariots, and in each chariot he placed a driver, a soldier, and a commander, and they left. Other chariots, with a driver and a soldier in each of them, also went along.
8 Le nampientere’ Iehovà ty arofo’ i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime vaho nihoridañe’e o ana’ Israeleo, ie fa nienga am-pitañ’ abo o ana’Israeleo.
Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
9 Nihoridañe’ o nte-Mitsraimeo amy ze hene soavala naho sarete’ i Parò, o mpiningi-tsoavalao naho o lahindefo’e iabio vaho nitrà’iareo nitobe marine’ i riakey iereo marine i Pi-Hakiròte tandrife i Baal’ Tsefone.
the Egyptian army, with all the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen, pursued the Israelis. They caught up with them as they were camped near the sea, close to Pi-Hahiroth, in front of Baal-Zephon [town].
10 Ie nañarivo mb’eo t’i Parò, le nampiandra fihaino o ana’ Israeleo, le indroy, nionjoñe mb’am’ iereo o nte-Mitsraimeo. Vata’e nirevendreveñe iereo vaho nikoiak’ am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo.
When the king’s army got near, the Israeli people were surprised to see that the Egyptians were marching toward them. They were terrified; so they cried out to Yahweh [to help them].
11 Le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè, Ie tsy aman-kibory e Mitsraime ao hao ty nanesea’o anay mb’etoa hikoromak’ am-patrambey atoy? Ino o nanoa’o anaio, ihe nampiakatse anay amy Mitsraime!
Then they said to Moses/me, “Is it because there were no places in Egypt [where we could] be buried that you have brought us here to die in this desert [RHQ]? Look what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt [RHQ]!
12 Tsy zao hao ty vinola’ay ama’o e Mitsraime añe t’ie apoke hitoroñe o nte-Mitsraimeo? fe hàmake mitoroñe o nte-Mitsraimeo ta t’ie hivetrak’ an-jerezere tane atoy.
That is what we told you when we were in Egypt! We said, ‘Leave us alone, and let us work for the Egyptians [RHQ]!’ It would have been better for us to be slaves for the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!”
13 Aa hoe t’i Mosè am’ondatio, Ko hembañe, mijadoña vaho isaho ty fandrombaha’ Iehovà hatoro’e anahareo anito, fa o nte-Mitsraime isa’ areo androany tsy ho isa’ areo kitro-katroke ka.
Moses/I replied to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be brave, and see how Yahweh will rescue you! He will save you today, and the result will be that the Egyptians that you are looking at today—you will never see them again!
14 Hialy ho anahareo t’Iehovà, aa le mianjiña.
Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
15 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ino ty ikoiha’o ahy? Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo ty hionjom-b’eo.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the people to stop crying out for me [to help them], and tell them to go forward. Lift up your stick and stretch it out toward the sea. The water will divide, so that all you Israeli people can go in the middle of the sea, walking on dry ground.
16 Le aonjono o kobai’oo vaho ahitio ambone’ o riakeo ty fità’o, le isalahao, hitsaha’ o ana’ Israeleo añivo’ o riakeo an-tane maike.
17 Inao, hampigañeko ty tro’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, ie hañorike, hahazoako engeñe amy Parò naho i valobohò’ey naho amo sarete’eo naho amo mpiningi-tsoavala’eo.
I will make the Egyptians stubborn, so that they will try to follow you. And then as a result of [what I will do to the] king and his army and his chariots and his horsemen, [my people] will praise/thank me.
18 Ho fohi’ o nte-Mitsraimeo te izaho Iehovà, naho ahazoako engeñe amy t’i Parò naho o sarete’eo vaho o mpiningi-tsoavala’eo.
And when I have won a glorious [victory] over the king and his chariots and his horsemen, the [other] Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
19 Ie amy zao, nisitake i anjelin’ Añahare niaolo’ i tobe’ Israeleiy, nivike mb’ am-boli’ iareo ao. Toe nisitsitse boak’ aolo’ iareo i rahoñe nijoalay le nijohañe am-boho’e ao
Then the angel of God, who had been in front of the Israeli people, moved and went behind them. The tall bright cloud that had been in front of them also moved behind them,
20 nitsatoke añivo’ o lahindefo’ i Mitsraimeo naho i tobe’ Israeley; naho ninday ieñe mb’aroa i rahoñey fe nihazavae’e atoa i haleñey, soa tsy nifankarine amy haleñe iabiy ty raike mb’ami’ty ila’e.
until it was between the Egyptian army and the Israeli people. The cloud caused the Egyptian army to be in the dark but it gave light for the Israelis. As a result, neither group could come near the other group during the whole night.
21 Aa le nahiti’ i Mosè ambone’ i riakey ty fità’e, le nampivevè’ Iehovà amy haleñe iabiy an-tiobey atiñanañe i riakey naho navali’e ho tane maike i riakey vaho nizara o ranoo,
[That evening], Moses/I stretched out his/my hand toward the sea. Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the east. It blew all night and pushed the water apart, and it caused the ground between the water to dry up.
22 le nijoñe amy riakey an-tane maike o ana’ Israeleo, ty rindrin-drano an-kavana’ iereo naho an-kavia’e.
Then we Israeli people went on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The water was like a wall on each side of us, on the right side and on the left side.
23 Hinorida’ o nte-Mitsraimeo iereo, mb’an-teñateña’ i riakey, o soavala’ i Parò iabio, ze hene sarete’e naho o mpiningi-tsoavala’eo.
Then the Egyptian army pursued them, and went after them into the middle of the sea, with their horses and their chariots and the chariot-drivers.
24 Ie amy fijilovañe marain-draiñey, le nijilove’ Iehovà boak’ amy afo nijoalay naho amy rahoñey ty valobohò’ i Mitsraime vaho navalitsikota’e i valobohò’ i Mitsraimey.
Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
25 Nakatra’e o laron-tsarete’eo nanebatsebañe ty fionjona’ iareo vaho hoe ty asa’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, Antao hibioñe ami’ty lahara’ Israele! amy te mialy amy Mitsraime ho a iareo t’Iehovà.
He caused the wheels of the chariots to get stuck [in the mud], so that they could hardly move. So the Egyptians said, “Yahweh is fighting for the Israelis and against us; let’s get out of here!”
26 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ahitio ambone’ i riakey ty fità’o hibaliha’ o ranoo amo nte-Mitsraimeo, amo sarete’eo vaho amo mpiningi-tsoavala’eo.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Stretch out your arm toward the sea again. Then the water will come back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.”
27 Nahiti’ i Mosè ambone’ i riakey amy zao ty fità’e le nimpoly amy fikararaha’e taoloy i riakey te nanjirike i àndroy. Nitriban-day ama’e o nte-Mitsraimeo fe navalitaboa’ Iehovà añivo’ i riakey.
So Moses/I stretched out his/my arm, and as the sun was rising, the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape, but Yahweh hurled them back into the sea.
28 Nitabatroake mb’eo i ranoy nañàmpo o sareteo naho o mpiningitseo naho i valobohò’ i Parò nañorike o ana’ Israeleo mb’an-driake mb’eo iabiy, ie tsy nengan-tsehanga’e.
The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and the whole Egyptian army that had tried to follow us Israelis into the sea. Every one of the Egyptians drowned.
29 Fe nitsake i riakey an-tane maike ka o ana’ Israeleo añivo i riakey amy te nirindriñe am’iereo i ranoy, ankavana’e naho ankavia’e eo.
But we Israeli people had already crossed through the sea by walking on dry ground, with the water being [like two] walls, one on the right side and one on the left side.
30 Izay ty nandrombaha’ Iehovà am-pità’ o nte-Mitsraimeo t’Israele amy andro zay vaho niisa’ Israele nifitak’ añ’ olon-drano ey o fàten-te Mitsraimeo.
That is the way Yahweh saved the Israeli people from the Egyptian army on that day. The Israeli people saw the Egyptians lying dead, [with their bodies washed up] on the shore.
31 Nahaisake i hara’ elahin-kaozara’ Iehovà naboa’e amo nte-Mitsraimeoy t’Israele, le nañeveñe am’ Iehovà ondatio vaho niantoke amy Iehovà naho i Mosè mpitoro’ey.
The Israelis saw what Yahweh did to the Egyptians by his great power [MTY], and they were in awe of Yahweh. They trusted in Yahweh and they also trusted Moses/me.
