Baʼuu 14
1 Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Akka isaan of irra garagalanii Phii Hahiiroti bira, Migdoolii fi galaana gidduu qubatan Israaʼelootatti himi. Isaan fuullee Baʼaal Zefoon, galaana cina qubachuu qabu.
“Speak to the sons of Israel. Let them turn back and encamp away from the region of Pihahiroth, which is between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal-zephon. In its sight you shall place your camp, above the sea.
3 Faraʼoonis, ‘Israaʼeloonni burjaajaʼanii biyya keessa jooraa jiru; gammoojjiin isaan marseera’ jedhee yaade.
And Pharaoh will say about the sons of Israel, ‘They have been confined by the land; the desert has enclosed them.’
4 Anis garaa Faraʼoon nan jabeessa; inni faana dhaʼee isaan duukaa buʼa. Anis karaa Faraʼooniitii fi karaa loltoota isaa hundaatiin ofii kootiif ulfina nan argadha; warri Gibxi akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.” Israaʼeloonnis akkasuma godhan.
And I will harden his heart, and so he will pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5 Mootiin Gibxi akka sabni sun baqatee baʼe yommuu itti himametti Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltonni isaa yaada waaʼee saba sanaa qaban geeddarratanii, “Akka sabni Israaʼel nu tajaajiluu dhiisee deemuuf gad dhiisuun keenya maal gochuu keenya?” jedhan.
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled. And the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed about the people, and they said, “What did we intend to do, so that we released Israel from serving us?”
6 Innis gaarii isaa qopheeffatee, loltoota isaas fudhatee kaʼe.
Therefore, he harnessed his chariot, and he took all his people with him.
7 Gaariiwwan filatamoo dhibba jaʼa, gaariiwwan Gibxi biraa hunda kanneen ajajjuuwwan isaan hunda irra jiran fudhatee kaʼe.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever chariots were in Egypt, and also the leaders of the whole army.
8 Waaqayyos Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi mata jabeessa godhe; Faraʼoonis Israaʼeloota warra sodaa malee baʼaa turan sana duukaa buʼee ariʼe.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the sons of Israel. But they were taken away by an exalted hand.
9 Warri Gibxis fardeenii fi gaariiwwan Faraʼoon hundi, abbootiin fardaatii fi loltoonni lafoon Israaʼeloota duukaa buʼanii isaanii Phii Hahiiroti bira fuullee Baʼaal Zefoon qarqara galaanaa qubatanii jiran qaqqaban.
And when the Egyptians followed the footsteps of those who preceded them, they found them in a camp above the sea. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and the entire army, were in Pihahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
10 Yeroo Faraʼoon itti dhiʼaatettis Israaʼeloonni ol ilaalanii kunoo warri Gibxi dugda duubaan isaan faana dhufan argan. Isaanis sodaatanii Waaqayyotti iyyatan.
And when Pharaoh had drawn near, the sons of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them. And they were very afraid. And they cried out to the Lord.
11 Isaanis Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Ati waan iddoon awwaalaa Gibxi hin jirreef akka nu gammoojjii keessatti dhumnuuf as nu fiddee? Ati Gibxi nu baasuun kee maal nu gochuu kee ti?
And they said to Moses: “Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt, for which reason you took us to die in the wilderness. What is it that you intended to do, in leading us out of Egypt?
12 Nu Gibxi keessatti, ‘Akka warra Gibxi tajaajilluuf nu dhiisi’ siin hin jennee? Gammoojjii keessatti dhumuu irra warra Gibxi tajaajiluu nuu wayya ture!”
Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying: Withdraw from us, so that we may serve the Egyptians? For it was much better to serve them, than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Museen akkana jedhee saba sanaaf deebise; “Hin sodaatinaa; jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa! Fayyisuu Waaqayyoo kan inni harʼa isinii godhu ilaalaa! Warra Gibxi kan harʼa argitan kana lammata deebitanii hin argitan.
And Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the great wonders of the Lord, which he will do today. For the Egyptians, whom you now see, will never again be seen, forever.
14 Waaqayyo isiniif lola; isin gab jedhaa.”
The Lord will fight on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”
15 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif natti iyyita? Akka isaan adeemsa isaanii itti fufaniif Israaʼelootatti himi.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to continue on.
16 Ulee kee ol fuudhiitii harka kee galaana irra diriirfadhu; akka Israaʼeloonni lafa gogaa irra galaana gidduu darbaniif bishaan gargari qoodi.
Now, lift up your staff, and extend your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the sons of Israel may walk through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17 Ani immoo akka isaan dugda isaanii duubaan seenaniif garaa warra Gibxi nan jabeessa. Anis Faraʼoonii fi loltoota isaa hunda irratti, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootii fardaa isaa irratti ulfina nan argadha.
Then I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, so as to pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen.
18 Yeroo ani Faraʼoon irratti, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootii fardaa isaa irratti ulfina argadhutti warri Gibxi akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in his chariots, as well as in his horsemen.”
19 Yommus ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan saba Israaʼel dura deemaa ture sun kaʼee gara dugda isaanii duubaatti darbe. Utubaan duumessaa sunis fuula isaanii duraa kaʼee isaan duuba dhaabate;
And the Angel of God, who preceded the camp of Israel, lifting himself up, went behind them. And the pillar of cloud, together with him, left the front for the rear
20 utubaan sunis loltoota Gibxii fi loltoota Israaʼel gidduu seene. Duumessi sun halkan sana gama tokkotti dukkana, gama kaanitti immoo ifa fide; kanaafuu halkan sana guutuu garee lamaan keessaa tokko illee garee kaanitti hin dhiʼaanne.
and stood between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. And it was a dark cloud, yet it illuminated the night, so that they could not succeed at approaching one another at any time all that night.
21 Museenis harka isaa galaana irra diriirfate; Waaqayyos halkan sana guutuu bubbee baʼa biiftuu jabaadhaan galaanicha gara duubaatti deebisee galaanicha lafa gogaa godhe. Bishaan sunis gargari qoodame;
And when Moses had extended his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by an intense burning wind, blowing throughout the night, and he turned it into dry ground. And the water was divided.
22 Israaʼeloonnis galaanicha gidduu lafa gogaa irra darban; bishaanichis karaa mirgaa isaaniitii fi karaa bitaa isaanii keenyan taʼeef.
And the sons of Israel went in through the midst of the dried sea. For the water was like a wall at their right hand and at their left hand.
23 Warri Gibxi isaan duukaa buʼanii fardeen Faraʼoon, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootiin fardaa isaa galaana seenan.
And the Egyptians, pursuing them, went in after them, along with all of the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen, through the midst of the sea.
24 Yommuu lafti bariʼetti Waaqayyo utubaa ibiddaatii fi duumessaa keessaa loltoota Gibxi sana gad ilaalee gara itti goran isaan wallaalchise.
And now the morning watch had arrived, and behold, the Lord, looking down upon the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, put to death their army.
25 Akka isaan rakkinaan oofaniifis gommaa gaariiwwan isaanii irraa baase. Warri Gibxis, “Waan Waaqayyo gama Israaʼelootaa dhaabatee warra Gibxi lolaa jiruuf kottaa isaan duraa baqannaa” jedhan.
And he overturned the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. Therefore, the Egyptians said: “Let us flee from Israel. For the Lord fights on their behalf against us.”
26 Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Akka bishaanonni warra Gibxi irra, gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaa isaanii irra garagalaniif harka kee galaana irratti diriirsi” jedhe.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the sea, so that the waters may return on the Egyptians, over their chariots and horsemen.”
27 Museenis harka isaa galaanicha irratti diriirse; yeroo lafti bariʼettis galaanni sun iddoo isaatti deebiʼe. Warri Gibxis bishaan sana jalaa baqatan; Waaqayyos haxaaʼee galaanatti isaan naqe.
And when Moses had extended his hand opposite the sea, it was returned, at first light, to its former place. And the fleeing Egyptians met with the waters, and the Lord immersed them in the midst of the waves.
28 Bishaan sun iddoo isaatti deebiʼee gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaa jechuunis loltoota Faraʼoon kanneen Israaʼeloota duukaa buʼanii galaana seenan sana hunda liqimse. Isaan keessaas namni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
And the waters were returned, and they covered the chariots and horsemen of the entire army of Pharaoh, who, in following, had entered into the sea. And not so much as one of them was left alive.
29 Israaʼeloonni garuu bishaanichi karaa mirga isaaniitii fi karaa bitaa isaaniitiin keenyan taʼeefii galaanicha keessa lafa gogaa irra darban.
But the sons of Israel continued directly through the midst of the dried sea, and the waters were to them like a wall on the right and on the left.
30 Gaafas Waaqayyo harka warra Gibxi jalaa Israaʼeloota baase; warri Israaʼelis reeffa warra Gibxi qarqara galaanaatti argan.
And so the Lord freed Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians.
31 Israaʼeloonnis yommuu humna guddaa kan Waaqayyo warra Gibxi irratti mulʼise sana arganitti, Waaqayyoon sodaatan; isaanis Waaqayyoo fi tajaajilaa isaa Musee amanan.
And they saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea and the great hand that the Lord had exercised against them. And the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses his servant.
