Ekoruhe 14
1 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, kia tahuri, kia noho ki te ritenga atu o Pihahirota, i waenganui o Mikitoro, o te moana, ki te ritenga o Paarahepona: hei te wahi e hangai tonu ana ki reira, hei te taha o te moana koutou noho ai.
“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 A e kiia nga tama a Iharaira e Parao, E pohehe ana ratou i te whenua, kua tutakina mai ratou e te koraha.
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 A maku e whakapakeke te ngakau o Parao, kia wahi ai ia i a ratou: a ka whai kororia ahau i a Parao ratou ko tona nuinga katoa; a ka mohio nga Ihipiana ko Ihowa ahau; a pera ana ratou.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” They did so.
5 A ka korerotia ki te kingi o Ihipa, kua whati te iwi: na ka puta ke te ngakau o Parao ratou ko ana tangata, ki te iwi, a ka mea ratou, He aha tenei mahi a tatou, i tukua atu ai a Iharaira i a tatou mahi?
The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6 Na ka here ia i tana hariata, i mauria ano hoki e ia tona iwi:
He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 A takiritia ake e ia e ono rau hariata, whiriwhiri rawa, me nga hariata katoa o Ihipa, rite katoa i te rangatira.
and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 Na whakapakeke ana a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao kingi o Ihipa, ko te tino whainga i muri i nga tama a Iharaira: tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, kei runga tonu te ringaringa i haere atu ai ratou.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 Na whai ana nga Ihipiana i a ratou, nga hoiho katoa, nga hariata a Parao, me ana hoia eke hoiho, me ana mano, a mau rawa ratou, i a ratou e noho ana i te tahatai, i Pihahirota, e titiro atu nei ki Paarahepona.
The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 A, i te whakatatanga mai o Parao, na ka anga ake nga kanohi o nga tama a Iharaira, na, ko nga Ihipiana e whai ana i muri i a ratou; a tino wehi ana ratou: na ka karanga nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa.
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
11 A ka mea ratou ki a Mohi, He onge koia no te urupa o Ihipa i kahaki mai ai koe i a matou ki te koraha mate ai? He aha ra tenei mahi au ki a matou, i arahina mai ai matou e koe i Ihipa?
They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
12 Ehara koia tenei i ta matou kupu i ki ra ki a koe i Ihipa, i mea ra, Waiho ra matou kia whakamahia ana e nga Ihipiana? Pai ke kia whakamahia matou e nga Ihipiana i to matou mate ki te koraha.
Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Na ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kaua e wehi; tu marie, ka titiro atu ki te whakaoranga a Ihowa e whakaputaina mai e ia ki a koutou i tenei ra: no ko nga Ihipiana e kitea atu ra e koutou i tenei ra, e kore e kitea ano e koutou a muri ake nei.
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 Ma Ihowa ta koutou pakanga; ko koutou ia e kore e hamumu.
The LORD will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, He aha koe i karanga ai ki ahau? Ki atu ki nga tama a Iharaira kia maro te haere:
The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 Na hapainga e koe tau tokotoko, ka whakamaro atu ai i tou ringa ki runga ake i te moana, kia wehea ai; na ka haere atu nga tama a Iharaira ma waenga moana, i te wahi maroke.
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
17 A ko ahau, ina, maku e whakapakeke nga ngakau o nga Ihipiana, a ka whai ratou i muri i a ratou: a ka whai kororia ahau i a Parao, i ana mano, i ana hariata, i ana hoia eke hoiho.
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 A ka mohio nga Ihipiana ko Ihowa ahau, ina whai kororia ahau i a Parao, i ana hariata, i ana hoia eke hoiho.
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19 Na ka whakatika te anahera a te Atua, i haere ra i mua i te ope o Iharaira, a haere ana ki muri i a ratou; i neke atu ano te pou kapua i to ratou aroaro, a tu ana i muri i a ratou:
The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20 I haere hoki ki waenganui o te nohoanga o nga Ihipiana, o te nohoanga hoki o Iharaira; a tera te kapua me te pouri, otiia e whakamarama ana ia i te po: a kihai tetahi i whakatata ki tetahi a pau katoa te po.
It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
21 Na torona atu ana e Mohi tona ringa ki runga i te moana; a panaia ana ki muri e Ihowa te moana ki tetahi hau nui, ki te marangai, a pau noa taua po, na kua maroke te moana, kua tuwhera nga wai.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 A haere ana nga tama a Iharaira i waenga moana ra te wahi maroke: hei taiepa ano nga wai ki a ratou i te taha ki matau, ki maui.
The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Na ka whai nga Ihipiana, a haere ana i muri i a ratou, nga hoiho katoa a Parao, ana hariata, me ana hoia eke hoiho, ki waenga moana.
The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 A, i to te ata whakaaraara, na, ka titiro a Ihowa ki te ope o nga Ihipiana, i roto i te pou ahi, i te pou kapua, ka whakararu hoki i te ope o nga Ihipiana,
In the morning watch, the LORD looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
25 A whakamareretia ana e ia nga wira o nga hariata, kia puhoi ai te haere: a ka mea nga Ihipiana, Kia oma atu tatou i te aroaro o Iharaira: kei a ratou hoki a Ihowa e whawhai mai ana ki nga Ihipiana.
He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Whakamarokia tou ringa ki runga i te moana, kia hoki ai nga wai ki runga ki nga Ihipiana, ki a ratou hariata, ki a ratou hoia eke hoiho.
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 A, ko te whakamarokanga o te ringa o Mohi ki runga i te moana, na takiri rawa ake te ata, kua hoki te moana ki tona tuturutanga; tutataki pu ki nga Ihipiana e rere ana; a taia iho nga Ihipiana e Ihowa ki waenga moana.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. The LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 A hoki ana nga wai, taupokina iho nga hariata, me nga hoia eke hoiho, me te ope katoa o Parao, i haere i muri i a ratou ki te moana: kihai rawa tetahi o ratou i toe.
The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29 Tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, i haere ratou ra te wahi maroke i waenganui o te moana; ko nga wai hoki hei taiepa ki a ratou, ki te taha matau, ki te taha maui.
But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 A, whakaorangia ana e Ihowa a Iharaira i taua ra i nga ringa o nga Ihipiana; a ka kite a Iharaira i nga Ihipiana i te tahatai, he tupapaku katoa.
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 A i kite a Iharaira i te mahi nui i mahia e Ihowa ki nga Ihipiana: a ka wehi te iwi a Ihowa, whakapono ana ki a Ihowa, ki tana pononga hoki, ki a Mohi.
Israel saw the great work which the LORD did to the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
