U-Eksodusi 14
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 “Tshela abako-Israyeli ukuthi babuyele emuva bayomisa ePhi-Hahirothi phakathi laphakathi kweMigidoli lolwandle. Kabamise eceleni kolwandle malungana leBhali-Zefoni.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔmman mfa Pihahirot a ɛwɔ Migdol ne po no ntam a ɛne Baal-Sefon di nhwɛanim no. Sɛ wodu hɔ a, wonsi wɔn ntamadan wɔ mpoano hɔ.
3 UFaro uzacabanga ukuthi abako-Israyeli bayantula nje elizweni besangene ngoba sebesithwe yinkangala.
Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, Farao besusuw sɛ, ‘Saa Israelfo no aka sare no ne po no ntam.’
4 Njalo ngizayenza ibe lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro abeselandela exotshana labo. Kodwa ngizazizuzela udumo ngoFaro kanye lempi yakhe yonke, lamaGibhithe azakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.” Ngakho abako-Israyeli bakwenza lokhu.
Na mɛsan apirim Farao koma bio ama wataa mo. Mayɛ saa nhyehyɛe yi, sɛnea ɛbɛma manya anuonyam ne nidi wɔ Farao ne nʼasraafo mu na ama Misraimfo no nso ahu sɛ, mene Awurade no.” Enti wosii ntamadan wɔ faako a wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn hɔ no.
5 Kwathi inkosi yaseGibhithe isitsheliwe ukuthi abantu sebebalekile, uFaro lezikhulu zakhe baguqula ingqondo zabo ngabako-Israyeli bathi, “Sesenzeni manje? Sesiyekele abako-Israyeli bahamba salahlekelwa yikusetshenzelwa yibo!”
Nnansa akyi a Misraimhene no tee sɛ Israelfo no abɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔrensan mma Misraim bio na mmom kɔ ara na wɔrekɔ no, Farao ne ne dɔm koma sɔree bio. Wobisae se, “Dɛn na yɛayɛ yi? Yɛama Israelfo no kwan ma wɔkɔ ama yɛahwere wɔn som!”
6 UFaro waselungisa inqola yakhe yamabhiza waphuma lempi yakhe.
Enti Farao faa ne teaseɛnam dii nʼasraafo no anim taa wɔn.
7 Wathatha izinqola ezikhethekileyo ezingamakhulu ayisithupha zahamba kanye lezinye izinqola zaseGibhithe, yinye ngayinye ilenduna yayo.
Ɔmaa Misraim apɔnkɔsotefo dɔm a wɔn dodow yɛ ahansia ne apɔnkɔ foforo bi a asraafo tete wɔn so ka wɔn.
8 UThixo wayenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe, ngakho waxotshana labako-Israyeli ababehamba ngesibindi.
Farao taa Israelfo no, efisɛ na wɔde Misraimfo agyapade bebree kɔ.
9 AmaGibhithe kugoqela wonke amabhiza kaFaro lezinqola, abagadi bamabhiza lamabutho, abaxhuma abako-Israyeli abedlula bemise ngasolwandle eduzane lePhi-Hahirothi malungana leBhali-Zefoni.
Farao de nʼapɔnkɔdɔm nyinaa taa Israelfo no bɛtoo wɔn sɛ wɔasisi wɔn ntamadan wɔ Pihahirot mpoano wɔ Baal-Sefon anim.
10 Kwathi uFaro esondela abako-Israyeli bathi bevusa amehlo babona nanko amaGibhithe asebanxwanele. Besaba bathuthumela bakhala kuThixo.
Bere a Farao asraafo no rebɛn no, Israelfo no huu wɔn sɛ wɔde mmirika reba enti wɔn koma tui, na wosu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn.
11 Bathi kuMosi, “Kambe yikuthi kwakungelamangcwaba yini eGibhithe uze usilethe lapha enkangala ukuba sizofela khona? Manje wenzeni ngokusikhupha eGibhithe?
Ɛmaa wɔn ani beree Mose so bisaa no se, “Wode yɛn aba sare yi so sɛ yemmewuwu wɔ ha, efisɛ nna nni Misraim a sɛ yewuwu a wobesie yɛn wɔ mu ana? Adɛn nti na woma yetu fii Misraim?
12 Asitshongo kuwe yini siseGibhithe ukuthi siyekele? Satsho sathi siyekele sikhonze amaGibhithe. Kwakuzaba ngcono kithi ukukhonza amaGibhithe kulokufela enkangala!”
Bere a yɛwɔ nkoasom mu no, yɛanka ankyerɛ wo se ma yɛmpɛ yɛn baabi ntena? Yɛkae se yɛpɛ sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ nkoasom ase wɔ Misraim sen sɛ yebewu agu sare so ha.”
13 UMosi wabaphendula abantu wathi, “Lingesabi. Manini isibindi, lizabona ukuthi uThixo uzalihlenga njani lamuhla. AmaGibhithe eliwabonayo lamuhla kalisoze liphinde liwabone futhi.
Nanso Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Munnsuro. Munnyina pintinn na mubehu anwonwakwan a Awurade nam so begye mo nnɛ. Misraimfo a muhu wɔn nnɛ yi, morenhu wɔn bio.
14 UThixo uzalilwela; lina manini lithule.”
Awurade bɛko ama mo; montɛm dinn kɛkɛ!”
15 Ngakho uThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Kanti ukhalelani kimi na? Tshela abako-Israyeli baphume bahambe.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Adɛn nti na wusu frɛ me? Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no na wɔnkɔ wɔn anim.
16 Phakamisa intonga yakho welulele isandla sakho phezu kolwandle amanzi adabuke phakathi ukuze abako-Israyeli bahambe phakathi kolwandle emhlabathini owomileyo.
Fa wo pema no. Fa kyerɛ nsu no so na po no mu bɛpae ama ɔkwan ada mu ma Israelfo no afa asase wosee so.
17 Ngizazenza zibe lukhuni inhliziyo zamaGibhithe ukuze angene abaxhume. Njalo ngizazuza udumo ngoFaro lempi yakhe yonke, langezinqola zakhe labagadi bakhe bamabhiza.
Mepirim Misraimfo no koma ama wɔataa mo na di a medi Farao ne ne dɔm so no bɛma moahu mʼanuonyam.
18 AmaGibhithe azakwazi ukuthi mina yimi uThixo nxa sengizuza udumo ngoFaro, langezinqola zakhe labagadi bakhe bamabhiza.”
Na Misraimfo nyinaa behu sɛ, mene Awurade.”
19 Kwathi khonapho ingilosi kaNkulunkulu eyayikade ihamba phambili kwempi yabako-Israyeli yasuka yabhoda ngemva kwabo. Insika yeyezi layo yasuka phambili yayakuma ngemva kwabo,
Onyankopɔn bɔfo a odi Israelfo anim no twee ne ho bedii Israelfo no akyi. Na omununkum dum no nso bedii Israelfo no akyi.
20 yehlukanisa impi yamaGibhithe leyabako-Israyeli. Ubusuku bonke iyezi laletha ubumnyama kwelinye icele labuye laletha ukukhanya ngakwelinye icele; ngakho kabakho abasondela kwabanye ubusuku bonke.
Ebetwaa Israelfo no ne Misraimfo no ntam. Na anadwo no, ɛdan ogya maa sum tɔɔ Misraimfo no so maa ne hann no kyerɛɛ Israelfo no kwan. Enti Misraimfo no anhu Israelfo no akyi kwan.
21 Ngakho uMosi waseselulela isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle, ngalobobusuku uThixo wafuqela ulwandle emuva ngomoya wempumalanga olamandla kwasala umhlabathi owomileyo. Amanzi adabukana phakathi,
Mose teɛɛ ne nsa wɔ po no so, na anadwo no nyinaa Awurade de apuei mframa dennen maa po no san nʼakyi maa asase no yɛɛ wosee.
22 abako-Israyeli bazihambela phakathi kolwandle emhlabathini owomileyo amanzi ezindonga ngapha langapha kwabo.
Enti Israelfo no faa po kwan a mu wosee no so. Na nsu no yɛɛ afasu wɔ benkum ne nifa maa wɔn.
23 AmaGibhithe abalandela, amabhiza wonke kaFaro, izinqola labagadi bamabhiza bonke babalandela phakathi kolwandle.
Misraimfo no nso ne Farao apɔnkɔ, nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no tiw wɔn koduu po no mfimfini.
24 Kwathi ngomlindo wokucina wobusuku uThixo wakhangela phansi esensikeni yomlilo leyezi, wakhangela phansi empini yamaGibhithe wayidunga yasanganiseka.
Na anɔpahema no, Awurade de ogya ne omununkum dum no too Misraimdɔm no so maa wɔn ho yeraw wɔn.
25 Wenza ukuthi amavili ezinqola zawo akhumuke okwenza kwaba nzima ukuthi aqhubeke lula. AmaGibhithe asesithi, “Kasehlukaneni labako-Israyeli! UThixo uyabalwela ukuba behlule amaGibhithe.”
Wɔn nteaseɛnam no nan tutui, enti na wontumi nkɔ bio. Enti Misraimfo no kae se, “Momma yenguan mfi Israelfo anim, efisɛ Awurade reko ama wɔn na yɛn de, ɔreko atia yɛn.”
26 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Phakamisa isandla sakho phezu kolwandle ukuze amanzi abuyele ambokothe amaGibhithe lezinqola zawo labagadi bamabhiza.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa wɔ po no so, na nsu no nsan mmra Misraimfo ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no so.”
27 UMosi waseselula isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle, kwathi emadabukakusa amanzi abuyela endaweni yawo. AmaGibhithe ayebaleka eqonda emanzini, uThixo wawagubuzela ngamanzi olwandle.
Mose yɛɛ saa, na ade kyee anɔpa no, po no san nʼakyi bɛsen sɛnea na ɛte. Misraimfo no pɛɛ sɛ woguan, nanso Awurade maa nsu no faa wɔn.
28 Amanzi aqubuka abuyela emuva ambokotha izinqola labagadi bamabhiza, layo yonke impi kaFaro eyalandela abako-Israyeli olwandle. Akusilanga loyedwa kubo.
Nsu no kataa kwan no ne nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no nyinaa so. Farao asraafo dodow a wɔfaa po no mu taa Israelfo no nso, anka ɔbaako koraa.
29 Kodwa abako-Israyeli badabula olwandle emhlabathini owomileyo kulezindonga zamanzi esandleni sokudla lakwesokhohlo.
Israelfo no nantew faa asase wosee a nsu yɛ ɔfasu wɔ benkum ne nifa no so.
30 Ngalolosuku uThixo wasindisa u-Israyeli ezandleni zamaGibhithe, njalo abako-Israyeli bawabona amaGibhithe ethe dandalazi okhunjini lolwandle esefile.
Saa da no Awurade gyee Israelfo fii Misraimfo nsam. Na Israelfo no huu Misraimfo no sɛ wɔawuwu deda mpoano.
31 Kwathi abako-Israyeli bebona amandla amakhulu uThixo awatshengisa kumaGibhithe, abantu bamesaba uThixo babeka ithemba labo kuye lakuMosi inceku yakhe.
Bere a Israelfo huu tumi a Awurade ada no adi de atia Misraimfo no, wosuroo Awurade, na wogyee Awurade ne nʼakoa Mose dii.
