Ekisodho 14
1 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Taurira vaIsraeri kuti vadzoke vagondodzika musasa pedyo nePi Hahiroti, pakati peMigidhori negungwa. Vanofanira kudzika misasa pedyo nepagungwa, pakatarisana neBhaari Zefoni.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba‘al-Zephon; you encamp in front of it by the sea,
3 Faro achafunga kuti, ‘VaIsraeri vari kungodzungaira nenyika vakanganisika, vadzimira murenje.’
and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
4 Uye ndichaomesa mwoyo waFaro, agovatevera. Asi ini ndichazviwanira kukudzwa kubudikidza naFaro nehondo yake yose, uye vaIjipita vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.” Saka vaIsraeri vakaita izvozvo.
and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he has pursued after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH”; and they do so.
5 Mambo weIjipiti akati audzwa kuti vanhu vatiza, Faro namachinda ake vakapindura pfungwa dzavo pamusoro pavo vakati, “Ko, taitei? Tarega vaIsraeri vachienda uye havachatishandiri!”
And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people have fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, “What [is] this we have done, that we have sent Israel away from our service?”
6 Saka akaita kuti ngoro dzake dzigadzirwe uye akatora hondo yake akaenda nayo.
And he harnesses his chariot, and he has taken his people with him,
7 Akatora ngoro dzakanakisisa dzaisvika mazana matanhatu, pamwe chete nedzimwe ngoro dzeIjipiti dzina vatariri vadzo dzose.
and he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
8 Jehovha akaomesa mwoyo waFaro mambo weIjipiti, kuti atevere vaIsraeri, avo vakanga vachifamba vakashinga kwazvo.
and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursues after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand,
9 VaIjipita, mabhiza ose aFaro nengoro dzake, vatasvi vamabhiza namauto, vakatevera vaIsraeri vakavabata pavakanga vadzika musasa pagungwa pedyo nePi Hahiroti, pakatarisana neBhaari Zefoni.
and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Ba‘al-Zephon.
10 Faro paakanga osvika, vaIsraeri vakasimudza meso avo, uye vakaona vaIjipita vachifamba vachivatevera. Vakavhunduka uye vakachema kuna Jehovha.
And Pharaoh has drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
11 Vakati kuna Mozisi, “Zvinoreva kuti muIjipiti makanga musina makuva here zvawatiuyisa kurenje kuti tife? Chiiko chawaita kwatiri zvawatibudisa muIjipiti?
And they say to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in a wilderness? What is this you have done to us—to bring us out from Egypt?
12 Ko, tiri muIjipiti hatina kuti, ‘Tisiye takadaro; rega tishandire vaIjipita here’? Zvaiva nani kwatiri kuti tishandire vaIjipita pano kuti tifire murenje!”
Is this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for [it is] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?”
13 Mozisi akapindura vanhu akati, “Musatya. Mirai nesimba uye muchaona kusunungura kwaJehovha kwaachakuitirai nhasi. VaIjipita vamunoona nhasi hamuchazovaonizve.
And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, station yourselves, and see the salvation of YHWH, which He does for you today; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you add no more to see them for all time;
14 Jehovha achakurwirai; imi ingonyararai bedzi.”
YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
15 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Seiko uchidanidzira kwandiri? Taurira vaIsraeri kuti vapfuurire mberi.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
16 Simudza tsvimbo yako ugotambanudzira ruoko rwako pamusoro pegungwa kuti mvura iparadzane kuitira kuti vaIsraeri vapinde mugungwa napavhu rakaoma.
and you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand toward the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
17 Ndichaomesa mwoyo yavaIjipita zvokuti vachapinda vachivatevera. Uye ndichawana kukudzwa kubudikidza naFaro nehondo yake yose, nengoro dzake uye navatasvi vake vamabhiza.
And I—behold, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, by his chariots, and by his horsemen;
18 VaIjipita vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha pandichawana kukudzwa kubudikidza naFaro, ngoro dzake navatasvi vake vamabhiza.”
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by his horsemen.”
19 Ipapo mutumwa waMwari, uyo akanga achifamba ari mberi kwehondo yavaIsraeri, akadzokera shure kwavo. Shongwe yegore yakabvawo mberi kwavo ikandomira shure kwavo,
And the Messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeys and goes at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeys from their front, and stands at their rear,
20 iri pakati pehondo dzeIjipiti nedzeIsraeri. Usiku hwose gore rakauyisa rima kuno rumwe rutivi uye chiedza kuno rumwe rutivi; saka hakuna akaswedera kuno mumwe usiku hwose.
and comes in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlightens the night, and the one has not drawn near to the other all the night.
21 Ipapo Mozisi akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, uye usiku hwose ihwohwo Jehovha akasunda gungwa nemhepo ine simba yokumabvazuva rikashanduka pakava nenyika yakaoma. Mvura yakakamurana,
And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and YHWH causes the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and makes the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
22 uye vaIsraeri vakapinda nomugungwa napavhu rakaoma uye madziro emvura ari kuruoko rworudyi nokuruboshwe kwavo.
and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left.
23 VaIjipita vakavatevera, uye mabhiza ose aFaro nengoro dzake navatasvi vamabhiza vakatevera mugungwa.
And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) into the midst of the sea,
24 Panguva yamangwanani Jehovha akatarira pasi nomushongwe yomoto uye nomugore raiva kurutivi rwehondo yavaIjipita, akainyonganisa.
and it comes to pass, in the morning watch, that YHWH looks to the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubles the camp of the Egyptians,
25 Akaita kuti mavhiri engoro dzavo abve zvokuti zvakanga zvaoma kudzifambisa. Uye vaIjipita vakati, “Ngatitizei kubva kuvaIsraeri. Jehovha ari kuvarwira achirwa navaIjipita.”
and turns aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Tambanudzira ruoko rwako pamusoro pegungwa kuitira kuti mvura iyerere napamusoro pavaIjipita napamusoro pengoro dzavo napamusoro pavatasvi vavo vamabhiza.”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 Mozisi akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, uye kwaedza, gungwa rakadzokera panzvimbo yaro. VaIjipita vakanga vachitizira kwariri, uye Jehovha akavakukurira mugungwa.
And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and the sea turns back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and YHWH shakes off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,
28 Mvura yakadzokera pakare ikafukidza ngoro navatasvi vamabhiza, hondo yose yaFaro yakanga yatevera vaIsraeri ikanyura mugungwa. Hapana kana mumwe wavo akararama.
and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there has not been left even one of them.
29 Asi vaIsraeri vakapinda nomugungwa napavhu rakaoma uye madziro emvura ari kuruoko rwavo rworudyi nokuruboshwe.
And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left;
30 Zuva iroro Jehovha akaponesa vaIsraeri kubva mumaoko avaIjipita, uye vaIsraeri vakaona vaIjipita vakanga vafa pamahombekombe.
and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
31 Uye vaIsraeri pavakaona simba guru raJehovha richiratidzwa pamusoro pavaIjipita, vanhu vakatya Jehovha uye vakatenda kwaari naMozisi muranda wake.
and Israel sees the great hand with which YHWH has worked against the Egyptians, and the people fear YHWH, and remain steadfast in YHWH, and in His servant Moses.
