Ekoruhe 15
1 Katahi ka waiata a Mohi ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira i tenei waiata ki a Ihowa, a ka whakahua, ka mea, Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa, he hira noa atu hoki tona kororia: ko te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke, kua panga e ia ki te moana.
Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.
2 Ko Ihowa toku kaha, taku waiata, ko ia ano hoki hei whakaora moku: ko toku Atua tenei, a maku ia e whakakororia; ko te Atua o toku papa, a maku ia e whakanui.
The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.
3 He tangata whawhai a ihowa: ko Ihowa tona ingoa.
The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.
4 Ko nga hariata a Parao, me tana ope, kua maka e ia ki te moana: ko ana rangatira whiriwhiri toremi iho ki te Moana Whero.
The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.
5 Taupokina iho ratou e nga wai hohonu; totohu ana ratou ki te rire, ano he kamaka.
The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.
6 Ka whai kororia tou ringa matau, e Ihowa, mo te kaha: na tou ringa, e Ihowa i mongamonga ai te hoa whawhai.
Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.
7 Na te nui o tou kaha ka turakina e koe te hunga i whakatika mai ra ki a koe: te whakaputanga o tou riri, pau katoa ratou, me he tumutumu otaota.
And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.
8 Na te hau hoki o tou ihu i haupu ai nga wai; i tu ake nga roma, ano he puranga, a whakatotoka ana te rire i te takere o te moana.
And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.
9 I mea te hoariri, Ka whai atu ahau, ka hopu, ka tuwha i nga taonga; ka na toku ngakau i a ratou; ka unuhia taku hoari, ma toku ringa ratou e huna.
The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’
10 I pupuhi atu koe ki tau hau, taupokina iho ratou e te moana; totohu iho ratou, ano he mata, i nga wai nui.
Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.
11 Ko wai o nga atua hei rite mou, e Ihowa? ko wai hei rite mou, e whakamoemititia nei mo te tapu, e wehingia nei, e whakapaingia nei, e mahi nei i nga mea whakamiharo?
Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?
12 I totoro atu tou ringa matau, horomia ana ratou e te whenua.
You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.
13 Na tou atawhai i arahina mai ai e koe te iwi kua hokona nei e koe; na tou kaha i aratakina ai ratou e koe ki tou nohoanga tapu.
In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.
14 Ka rongo nga iwi, ka tuiri: mau tonu te matapouri ki nga tangata o Pirihitia.
Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 No reira i ohorere ai nga rangatira o Eroma: ko nga tangata nunui o Moapa, mau tonu te wiri ki a ratou; memeha noa nga tangata katoa o Kanaana.
Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.
16 Tau ana ki a ratou te tuiri me te wehi: ma te nui o tou ringa e tu tonu ai ratou, ano he kohatu, kia pahemo ra ano tou iwi, e Ihowa, kia pahemo ra ano tenei iwi kua hokona nei e koe.
Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.
17 Mau ratou e kawe atu, e whakatupu ki te maunga, ki tou kainga o mua iho, ki te wahi, e Ihowa, i hanga e koe hei nohoanga mou, ki te wahi tapu, e te Ariki, i whakapumautia e ou ringa.
You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.
18 Hei kingi a Ihowa ake ake.
The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.
19 I haere hoki nga hoiho a Parao, me ana hariata, me ana hoia eke hoiho ki te moana, a na Ihowa i whakahoki nga wai o te moana ki runga ki a ratou: tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, i haere ra te wahi maroke, i waenga moana.
For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”
20 A ka tango a Miriama poropiti, tuahine o Arona, i te timipera ki tona ringa; a haere atu ana nga wahine katoa i muri i a ia me nga timipera, me te kanikani ano ratou.
And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.
21 A i whakahokia e Miriama ta ratou, Waiata ki a Ihowa, he hira noa atu hoki tona kororia; nana hoki te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke i whiu ki te moana.
And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”
22 A arahina atu ana e Mohi a Iharaira i te Moana Whero, a ka haere ratou ki te koraha o Huri: a e toru nga ra i haere ai ratou i te koraha, a kihai i kitea he wai.
Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.
23 Na ka tae ratou ki Mara, kihai hoki i ahei te inu i nga wai o Mara; he kawa hoki: na reira i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Mara.
And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.
24 Na ka amuamu te iwi ki a Mohi, ka mea, Ko te aha hei inu ma matou?
And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”
25 Na ka karanga ia ki a Ihowa; a ka whakakitea mai he rakau e Ihowa ki a ia, a panga ana e ia ki nga wai, na, ka reka nga wai: i homai e ia he ture ki a ratou i reira, me tetahi ritenga; i whakamatauria ratou e ia ki reira.
So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,
26 I mea hoki ia, Ki te rongo marie koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, a ka mahi i te mea tika ki tana titiro, a ka whai taringa ki ana whakahau, ka pupuri hoki i ana tikanga katoa, e kore rawa tetahi o aua mate i whakapangia ki nga Ihipiana e ahau, e whakapangia atu e ahau ki a koe; ko Ihowa hoki ahau e whakaora nei i a koe.
saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”
27 Na ka tae ratou ki Erimi, kotahi tekau ma rua nei nga puna wai i reira, me nga nikau e whitu tekau; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ki te taha o nga wai.
Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.
