U-Eksodusi 15

1 Khona oMozisi labantwana bakoIsrayeli bahlabelela lelihubo eNkosini; bakhuluma bathi: Ngizahlabelela iNkosi, ngoba iphakeme isibili. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song vnto the Lord, and sayd in this maner, I will sing vnto the Lord: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and him that rode vpon him hath he ouerthrowen in the Sea.

2 INkosi ingamandla lehubo lami, isibe kimi lusindiso, lo nguNkulunkulu wami, ngakho ngizamdumisa, unguNkulunkulu kababa, ngakho ngizamphakamisa.

The Lord is my strength and praise, and he is become my saluation. He is my God, and I will prepare him a tabernacle. he is my fathers God, and I will exalt him.

3 INkosi yindoda yempi, iNkosi libizo layo.

The Lord is a man of warre, his Name is Iehouah.

4 Inqola zikaFaro lebutho lakhe ikuphosele olwandle, lokhetho lwezinduna zakhe lwacwiliswa oLwandle oluBomvu.

Pharaohs charets and his host hath he cast into the Sea: his chosen captaines also were drowned in the red Sea.

5 Inziki zabasibekela; behlela ekujuleni njengelitshe.

The depths haue couered them, they sanke to the bottome as a stone.

6 Isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sidunyisiwe ngamandla; isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sisiphahlazile isitha.

Thy right hande, O Lord, is glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath brused the enemie.

7 Njalo ngobukhulu bokuphakama kwakho uchithile abakuvukelayo; uthumele ulaka lwakho oluvuthayo, lwabaqeda njengezidindi.

And in thy great glorie thou hast ouerthrowen them that rose against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as the stubble.

8 Langokuvuthela kwamakhala akho amanzi abuthelelwa; impophoma zema njengenqumbi; izinziki zajiya enhliziyweni yolwandle.

And by the blast of thy nostrels the waters were gathered, the floods stoode still as an heape, the depthes congealed together in the heart of the Sea.

9 Isitha sathi: Ngizaxotsha, ngifice, ngehlukanise impango; isiloyiso sami sizasutha bona, ngizahwatsha inkemba yami, isandla sami sizababhubhisa.

The enemie sayd, I wil pursue, I wil ouertake them, I will deuide the spoyle, my lust shall bee satisfied vpon them, I will drawe my sworde, mine hand shall destroy them.

10 Waphephetha ngomoya wakho, ulwandle lwabasibekela; batshona njengomnuso emanzini alamandla.

Thou blewest with thy winde, the Sea couered them, they sanke as leade in the mightie waters.

11 Ngubani onjengawe, Nkosi, phakathi kwabonkulunkulu? Ngubani onjengawe olodumo ebungcweleni, owesabekayo ezindunyisweni, esenza izimangaliso?

Who is like vnto thee, O Lord, among the Gods! who is like thee so glorious in holinesse, fearefull in prayses, doing wonders!

12 Welulile isandla sakho sokunene, umhlaba wabaginya.

Thou stretchedst out thy right hande, the earth swallowed them.

13 Ukhokhele ngomusa wakho lesisizwe osihlengileyo; wasihola ngamandla akho endaweni yakho yokuhlala yobungcwele bakho.

Thou wilt by thy mercie cary this people, which thou deliueredst: thou wilt bring them in thy strength vnto thine holy habitation.

14 Izizwe zizwile, ziyathuthumela; umhelo ubabambile abahlali beFilisti.

The people shall heare and be afraide: sorow shall come vpon the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Ngalesosikhathi izinduna zeEdoma zizasanganiseka, iziphathamandla zakoMowabi, ukuthuthumela kwazibamba, bonke abahlali beKhanani bazancibilika.

Then the dukes of Edom shalbe amased, and trembling shall come vpon the great men of Moab: all the inhabitantes of Canaan shall waxe faint hearted.

16 Ukwethuka lokwesaba kuzabehlela; ngobukhulu bengalo yakho bazathula njengelitshe, size sichaphe isizwe sakho, Nkosi, size sichaphe isizwe osithengileyo.

Feare and dread shall fall vpon them: because of the greatnesse of thine arme, they shalbe stil as a stone, till thy people passe, O Lord: til this people passe, which thou hast purchased.

17 Uzabangenisa, ubahlanyele entabeni yelifa lakho, indawo oyenzileyo, Nkosi, ukuthi uhlale kuyo, indawo engcwele eziyimisileyo izandla zakho, Nkosi.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountaine of thine inheritance, which is the place that thou hast prepared, O Lord, for to dwell in, euen the sanctuarie, O Lord, which thine hands shall establish.

18 INkosi izabusa kuze kube phakade lanininini.

The Lord shall reigne for euer and euer.

19 Ngoba ibhiza likaFaro langena olwandle lenqola yakhe labagadi bakhe bamabhiza, iNkosi yasibuyisela amanzi olwandle phezu kwabo, kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kolwandle.

For Pharaohs horses went with his charets and horsemen into the Sea, and the Lord brought the waters of the Sea vpon them: but the children of Israel went on drie land in the middes of the Sea.

20 UMiriyamu umprofethikazi, udadewabo kaAroni, wasethatha isigujana esandleni sakhe; bonke abesifazana basebephuma ngemva kwakhe, lezigujana lemigido.

And Miriam the prophetesse, sister of Aaron tooke a timbrell in her hande, and all the women came out after her with timbrels and daunces.

21 UMiriyamu wasebaphendula wathi: Hlabelelani iNkosi, ngoba inqobe ngodumo. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.

And Miriam answered the men, Sing yee vnto the Lord: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath hee ouerthrowen in the Sea.

22 UMozisi wasemkhokhela uIsrayeli eqhubeka esuka eLwandle oluBomvu, baphuma baya enkangala yeShuri; bahamba insuku ezintathu enkangala, kabatholanga manzi.

Then Moses brought Israel from the redde Sea, and they went out into the wildernesse of Shur: and they went three dayes in the wildernesse, and found no waters.

23 Kwathi lapho befika eMara babengelakuwanatha amanzi eMara, ngoba ayebaba; ngakho ibizo layo lathiwa yiMara.

And whe they came to Marah, they could not drinke of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of the place was called Marah.

24 Abantu basebekhonona bemelene loMozisi besithi: Sizanathani?

Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drinke?

25 Wasekhala eNkosini. INkosi yasimtshengisa isihlahla, asiphosela emanzini, amanzi asesiba mnandi. Yabamisela khona isimiso lesimiselo, lalapho yabalinga,

And he cried vnto the Lord, and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were sweete: there he made them an ordinance and a law, and there he proued them,

26 yasisithi: Uba lilalela lokulalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lenze okulungileyo emehlweni ayo, libeke indlebe emilayweni yayo, ligcine zonke izimiso zayo, kangiyikwehlisela phezu kwenu lasinye sezifo engazehlisela phezu kwamaGibhithe; ngoba ngiyiNkosi elelaphayo.

And sayd, if thou wilt diligently hearken, O Israel, vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that, which is right in his sight, and wilt giue eare vnto his commandements, and keepe all his ordinances, then will I put none of these diseases vpon thee, which I brought vpon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

27 Basebefika eElimi lapho okwakukhona imithombo elitshumi lambili yamanzi, lezihlahla zelala ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa; basebemisa inkamba khona emanzini.

And they came to Elim, where were twelue fountaines of water, and seuentie palme trees, and they camped thereby the waters.
