U-Eksodusi 14
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
2 Tshela abantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi baphenduke, bamise inkamba phambi kwePi-Hahirothi, phakathi kweMigidoli lolwandle, phambi kweBhali-Zefoni, maqondana layo limise inkamba elwandle.
E i aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e kipa ae lakou, a e hoomoana ma ke alo o Pihahirota, mawaena o Migedola a me ke kai, ma kahi e ku pono ana i Baalazepona: ma ke alo o ia wahi oukou e hoomoana ai, ma kahakai.
3 Njalo uFaro uzakuthi ngabantwana bakoIsrayeli: Badidekile elizweni, inkangala ibavalele.
E olelo auanei o Parao no na mamo a Iseraela, Ua pilikia lakou iloko o ua aina la, ua paa lakou i ka waonahele.
4 Njalo ngizayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, ukuthi axotshane labo, ngibe sengidunyiswa kuFaro lebuthweni lakhe lonke, ukuze amaGibhithe azi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi. Basebesenza njalo.
A na'u no e hoopaakiki i ka naau o Parao, i hahai mai ai oia mahope o lakou: a e hoouaniia auanei au maluna o Parao, a maluna o kona puali a pau; i ike ai hoi ko Aigupita, owau no Iehova. A pela no lakou i hana'i.
5 Kwathi sekubikiwe enkosini yeGibhithe ukuthi abantu babalekile, inhliziyo kaFaro lenhliziyo yenceku zakhe yaguquka mayelana labantu, basebesithi: Kuyini lokho esikwenzileyo, ukuthi siyekele uIsrayeli ahambe angasisebenzeli?
A haiia aku la i ke alii o Aigupita, Ua holo na kanaka; huli ka naau o Parao a me na kauwa ana e ku e i na kanaka: olelo iho la lakou, no ke aha la kakou i hana'i i keia, a hookuu aku i ka Iseraela i hookauwa ole ai lakou na kakou?
6 Wasebophela inqola yakhe, wathatha abantu bakhe laye.
Hoomakaukau ae la ia i kona kaakaua, a lawe pu aku la i kona poe kanaka me ia.
7 Wasethatha inqola ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ezikhethiweyo lazo zonke inqola zeGibhithe lenduna eziphezu kwazo zonke.
Lawe aku la ia i na halekaa i waeia eono haneri, a me na kaakaua a pau o Aigupita, a me na luna o ia mau mea a pau.
8 INkosi yasiyenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, wasexotshana labantwana bakoIsrayeli, kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli baphuma ngesandla esiphakemeyo.
Hoopaakiki iho la o Iehova i ka naau o Parao, o ke alii o Aigupita, a hahai mai la ia mahope o na mamo a Iseraela: a puka mai la na mamo a Iseraela mawaho me ka lima hookiekie.
9 Kodwa amaGibhithe asexotshana labo, amabhiza wonke, izinqola zikaFaro, labagadi bakhe bamabhiza, lebutho lakhe, abafica bemise inkamba elwandle, eceleni kwePi-Hahirothi phambi kweBhali-Zefoni.
Hahai mai la ko Aigupita mahope o lakou, o na lio a pau, a me na kaakaua o Parao, a me kona hoohololio, a me kona poe koa, a loaa mai lakou nei e hoomoana ana ma kahakai, ma Pihahirota, e ku pono ana i Baalazepona.
10 Kwathi uFaro esesondele, abantwana bakoIsrayeli baphakamisa amehlo abo, khangela-ke, amaGibhithe ehamba ebalandela, basebesesaba kakhulu. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebekhala eNkosini;
A hookokoke mai la o Parao, alawa ae la na maka o na mamo a Iseraela, aia hoi, e hele mai ana ko Aigupita mahope o lakou; makau loa iho la lakou: a uwe aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova.
11 bathi kuMozisi: Kungoba kwakungekho mangcwaba yini eGibhithe ukuthi usithethe ukuze sifele enkangala? Kuyini lokhu okwenze kithi, ukusikhupha eGibhithe?
I mai la hoi lakou ia Mose, No ka mea, aohe lua kupapau ma Aigupita, ua lawe mai anei oe ia makou e make ma keia waonahele? No ke aha la kau i hana mai ai ia makou pela, i ka lawe ana mai nei ia makou mai Aigupita mai?
12 Kayisilo leli ilizwi esalikhuluma kuwe eGibhithe sisithi: Siyekele ukuthi sisebenzele amaGibhithe? Ngoba bekuzakuba ngcono kithi ukuthi sisebenzele amaGibhithe kulokuthi sifele enkangala.
Aole anei keia o ka olelo a makou i hai aku ai ia oe ma Aigupita, i ka i ana aku, E waiho pela ia makou, i hookauwa aku ai makou na ko Aigupita? No ka mea, he mea maikai no makou ke hookauwa aku na ko Aigupita, aole hoi e make ma ka waonahele.
13 UMozisi wasesithi ebantwini: Lingesabi; manini liqine, libone usindiso lweNkosi ezalenzela lona lamuhla; ngoba amaGibhithe eliwabonayo lamuhla, kalisayikuwabona futhi kuze kube laphakade.
Olelo aku la o Mose i na kanaka, mai makau oukou, e ku malie oukou, a e nana aku i ka hoola ana o Iehova, i ka mea ana e hoike mai ai ia oukou i keia la; no ka mea, o ko Aigupita a oukou i ike ai i keia la, aole oukou e ike hou ia lakou, mahope mau loa aku.
14 INkosi izalilwela, lina-ke lizathula.
Na Iehova no e kaua aku no oukou, a e noho malie oukou.
15 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ukhalelani kimi? Tshela abantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi baqhubekele phambili.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, No ke ah a la oe e kahea mai nei ia'u? e i aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e hele aku lakou imua.
16 Wena-ke, phakamisa intonga yakho, welulele isandla sakho phezu kolwandle uludabule, ukuze abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahambe phakathi kolwandle emhlabathini owomileyo.
Aka, E hapai oe i kou kookoo, a e o aku kou lima maluna o ke kai, a e hookaawale ia: a e hele aku no na mamo o Iseraela mawaena o ke kai, ma kahi maloo.
17 Mina-ke, khangela, ngizayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yamaGibhithe ukuze angene ngemva kwabo. Njalo ngizadunyiswa ngoFaro langebutho lakhe lonke, ngezinqola zakhe, langabagadi bamabhiza bakhe.
A na'u iho no e hoopaakiki i na naau o ko Aigupita, a e hahai mai lakou mahope o lakou nei: a e hoonani au ia'u iho ma o Parao la a ma kona poe koa a pau, a ma kona mau kaakaua, a me na hoohololio ona.
18 Njalo amaGibhithe azakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi sengidunyiswe ngoFaro, ngezinqola zakhe langabagadi bamabhiza bakhe.
A e ike auanei ko Aigupita, owau no Iehova, ke hoonani wau ia'u iho ma o Parao la, a me kona mau kaakaua, a me na hoohololio ona.
19 Njalo ingilosi kaNkulunkulu eyayihamba phambi kwebutho lakoIsrayeli yasuka yayahamba ngemva kwabo; lensika yeyezi yasuka phambi kwabo, yema ngemva kwabo,
A o ka anela o ke Akua i hele mamua o ke kahua hoomoana o ka Iseraela, hoi aku la ia mahope o lakou; a hele ae la hoi ke kia ao mai mua ao o lakou, a ku iho la mahope o lakou.
20 yasisiza phakathi kwebutho lamaGibhithe lebutho lakoIsrayeli. Njalo yayiliyezi lobumnyama, kodwa yakhanyisa ubusuku, okokuthi elinye kalisondelanga kwelinye ubusuku bonke.
Hele mai la ia mawaena o ko Aigupita poe a me ka Iseraela: a lilo ia i ao pouli; a hoomalamalama mai no nae i ka po; nolaila, aole i hookokoke mai kela poe i keia mai ia po a ao.
21 UMozisi waseselulela isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle; iNkosi yalwenza ulwandle lwahamba ngomoya olamandla wempumalanga ubusuku bonke, yenza ulwandle lwaba ngumhlabathi owomileyo; amanzi asesehlukaniswa.
O aku la o Mose i kona lima maluna o ke kai; na Iehova i hookahe ke kai me ka makani ikaika, mai ka hikina mai, i kela po a ao, a lilo iho la ke kai i aina maloo, a ua maheleia ae la na wai.
22 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebengena olwandle emhlabathini owomileyo; njalo amanzi aba ngumduli kubo ngakwesokunene sabo langakwesokhohlo sabo.
Hele mai la na mamo a Iseraela mawaena o ke kai ma kahi maloo: a lilo ka wai i pali no lakou ma ko lakou lima akau a me ko lakou lima hema.
23 AmaGibhithe asexotshana labo, angena ngemva kwabo, wonke amabhiza kaFaro, inqola zakhe labagadi bamabhiza bakhe, phakathi kolwandle.
Hahai mai la ko Aigupita, a hele mai mahope o lakou, o na lio a pau o Parao, a me kona mau kaakaua, a me na hoohololio iwaena o ke kai.
24 Kwasekusithi ngomlindo wokusa, iNkosi yakhangela phansi ebuthweni lamaGibhithe isensikeni yomlilo leyeyezi, yalidunga ibutho lamaGibhithe;
A hiki i ka wati wanaao, nana mai la o Iehova i ka poe kaua o Aigupita, mai ke kia ahi a me ke ao mai, a hoopilikia ae la i ka poe kaua o Aigupita.
25 yakhupha amavili ezinqola zawo ukuze zihambe nzima, aze athi amaGibhithe: Asibalekele ubuso bukaIsrayeli, ngoba iNkosi iyabalwela imelene lamaGibhithe.
Hoohemohemo iho la ia i na huila o ko lakou mau kaakaua, i hele pupu ai lakou; no ia mea, olelo mai la ko Aigupita, E auhee kakou mai ke alo aku o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua kaua mai no o Iehova me lakou pu i ko Aigupita.
26 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yelulela isandla sakho phezu kolwandle ukuze amanzi abuyele phezu kwamaGibhithe, phezu kwenqola zawo laphezu kwabagadi bawo bamabhiza.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E o aku kou lima maluna o ke kai, i hoi hou mai ai ka wai maluna o ko Aigupita, maluna o ko lakou mau halekaa, a maluna o ko lakou poe hoohololio.
27 UMozisi waseselulela isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle; ulwandle lwaselubuyela endaweni yalo eyejwayelekileyo emadabukakusa; amaGibhithe asebalekela kulo; iNkosi yasiwathintithela amaGibhithe phakathi kolwandle.
Hoo aku la no o Mose i kona lima maluna o ke kai, a hoi mai no ke kai i kona piha ana i ka wa e pualena ana o ke ao; auhee aku la ko Aigupita i ka loaa ana o ka wai; a lulu iho la o Iehova i ko Aigupita iloko o ke kai.
28 Amanzi asebuyela, asibekela izinqola labagadi bamabhiza, lebutho lonke likaFaro elalingene olwandle ngemva kwabo; kakusalanga loyedwa kubo.
Hoi hou aku la ke kai, a popoi iho la maluna o na kaakaua, a me na hoohololio, a me ka poe koa a pau o Parao i hele mai iloko o ke kai mahope o lakou: aole loa kekahi o lakou i koe.
29 Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba phezu komhlabathi owomileyo phakathi kolwandle; njalo amanzi aba ngumduli kubo ngakwesokunene sabo langakwesokhohlo sabo.
Aka, o na mamo a Iseraela, hele mai la lakou ma kahi maloo iwaenakonu o ke kai: a o na wai, he pali ia no lakou ma ko lakou lima akau, a me ko lakou lima hema.
30 Ngokunjalo iNkosi yamsindisa uIsrayeli ngalolosuku esandleni samaGibhithe; njalo uIsrayeli wabona amaGibhithe efile ekhunjini lolwandle.
Pela i hoola mai ai o Iehova i ka Iseraela ia la, mai ka lima o ko Aigupita mai; a ike aku la ka Iseraela i ko Aigupita maluna o kahakai, ua make.
31 UIsrayeli wasebona amandla amakhulu iNkosi eyawenzayo kumaGibhithe. Abantu basebeyesaba iNkosi, bakholwa eNkosini, lakuMozisi inceku yayo.
Ike aku la ka Iseraela i kela hana nui a Iehova i hana aku ai i ko Aigupita: a makau iho la na kanaka ia Iehova; a manaoio aku la lakou ia Iehova, a me kana kauwa o Mose.
