Baʼuu 14
1 Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh 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 children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 Faraʼoonis, ‘Israaʼeloonni burjaajaʼanii biyya keessa jooraa jiru; gammoojjiin isaan marseera’ jedhee yaade.
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
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.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” 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.
The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6 Innis gaarii isaa qopheeffatee, loltoota isaas fudhatee kaʼe.
He prepared his chariot, and took his army 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 all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 Waaqayyos Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi mata jabeessa godhe; Faraʼoonis Israaʼeloota warra sodaa malee baʼaa turan sana duukaa buʼee ariʼe.
Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high 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.
The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 Yeroo Faraʼoon itti dhiʼaatettis Israaʼeloonni ol ilaalanii kunoo warri Gibxi dugda duubaan isaan faana dhufan argan. Isaanis sodaatanii Waaqayyotti iyyatan.
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.
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?
They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring 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!”
Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians 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.
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 Waaqayyo isiniif lola; isin gab jedhaa.”
Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif natti iyyita? Akka isaan adeemsa isaanii itti fufaniif Israaʼelootatti himi.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 Ulee kee ol fuudhiitii harka kee galaana irra diriirfadhu; akka Israaʼeloonni lafa gogaa irra galaana gidduu darbaniif bishaan gargari qoodi.
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle 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.
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 Yeroo ani Faraʼoon irratti, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootii fardaa isaa irratti ulfina argadhutti warri Gibxi akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over 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;
The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
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.
It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all 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;
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 Israaʼeloonnis galaanicha gidduu lafa gogaa irra darban; bishaanichis karaa mirgaa isaaniitii fi karaa bitaa isaanii keenyan taʼeef.
The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Warri Gibxi isaan duukaa buʼanii fardeen Faraʼoon, gaariiwwan isaatii fi abbootiin fardaa isaa galaana seenan.
The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Yommuu lafti bariʼetti Waaqayyo utubaa ibiddaatii fi duumessaa keessaa loltoota Gibxi sana gad ilaalee gara itti goran isaan wallaalchise.
In the morning watch, Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian 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.
He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26 Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Akka bishaanonni warra Gibxi irra, gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaa isaanii irra garagalaniif harka kee galaana irratti diriirsi” jedhe.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their 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.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
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.
The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29 Israaʼeloonni garuu bishaanichi karaa mirga isaaniitii fi karaa bitaa isaaniitiin keenyan taʼeefii galaanicha keessa lafa gogaa irra darban.
But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Gaafas Waaqayyo harka warra Gibxi jalaa Israaʼeloota baase; warri Israaʼelis reeffa warra Gibxi qarqara galaanaatti argan.
Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 Israaʼeloonnis yommuu humna guddaa kan Waaqayyo warra Gibxi irratti mulʼise sana arganitti, Waaqayyoon sodaatan; isaanis Waaqayyoo fi tajaajilaa isaa Musee amanan.
Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
