Ekisodho 15
1 Ipapo Mozisi navaIsraeri vakaimba rwiyo urwu kuna Jehovha: “Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nokuti iye anokudzwa zvikurukuru. Bhiza nomutasvi waro akazvikanda mugungwa.
Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.
2 “Jehovha ndiye simba rangu norwiyo rwangu; iye ava ruponeso rwangu. Ndiye Mwari wangu, uye ndichamurumbidza, Mwari wababa vangu, uye ndichamukudza.
The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.
3 Jehovha imhare; Jehovha ndiro zita rake.
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
4 Ngoro dzaFaro nehondo yake akazvikanda mugungwa. Machinda aFaro akanakisisa akanyudzwa muGungwa Dzvuku.
Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.
5 Mvura yakadzika yakavafukidza; vakanyura kwakadzika sedombo.
They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.
6 “Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, imi Jehovha, rwakakudzwa nesimba. Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, imi Jehovha, rwakaparadza muvengi.
Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.
7 “Muukuru hwoumambo hwenyu makakanda pasi vaya vaikupikisai. Makasunungura kutsamwa kwenyu kunopisa, kukavapisa sehundi.
When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.
8 Nokufema kwemhino dzenyu mvura zhinji yakaita murwi. Mvura yamasaisai yakamira yakasimba semadziro; mvura yakadzika yakaungana mukati megungwa.
By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.
9 “Muvengi akazvikudza achiti, ‘Ndichavatevera, ndichavabata. Ndichagova zvakapambwa; ndichazvimbirwa navo. Ndichavhomora munondo wangu uye ruoko rwangu ruchavaparadza.’
Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.
10 Asi makafuridza nokufema kwenyu, gungwa rikavafukidza. Vakanyura somutobvu mukati memvura ine simba.
You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.
11 “Ndianiko pakati pavamwari akaita semi, imi Jehovha? Ndiani akaita semi, paumambo noutsvene, mukubwinya kunotyisa, anoita zvishamiso?
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
12 Makatambanudza ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, nyika ikavamedza.
When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.
13 “Murudo rwenyu rusingaperi muchatungamirira vanhu vamakadzikinura. Musimba renyu imi muchavatungamirira kuugaro hwenyu hutsvene.
In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.
14 Ndudzi dzichazvinzwa uye dzichadedera; kurwadziwa kuchabata vanhu vokuFiristia.
Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.
15 Madzishe eEdhomu achavhundutswa, vatungamiri veMoabhu vachabatwa nokudedera, vanhu veKenani vachanyunguduka;
The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.
16 kutya nokuvhunduka zvichavawira. Nesimba roruoko rwenyu vachanyarara kunge dombo, kusvikira vanhu venyu vapfuura, imi Jehovha, kusvikira vanhu vamakatenga vapfuura.
Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.
17 Muchaenda navomo uye mugovasima pagomo renhaka yenyu, nzvimbo tsvene yakasimbiswa namaoko enyu, imi Jehovha.
You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.
18 “Jehovha achatonga nokusingaperi-peri.”
The Lord is King for ever and ever.
19 Mabhiza aFaro, ngoro navatasvi vamabhiza vakapinda mugungwa, Jehovha akauyisa mvura yomugungwa pamusoro pavo, asi vaIsraeri vakafamba napakati pegungwa pavhu rakaoma.
For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.
20 Ipapo Miriamu muprofitakadzi, hanzvadzi yaAroni, akatora tambureni muruoko rwake, uye vakadzi vose vakamutevera, vana matambureni uye vachitamba.
And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.
21 Miriamu akavaimbira akati: “Imbirai Jehovha, nokuti anokudzwa zvikuru kuru. Bhiza nomutasvi waro akazvikanda mugungwa.”
And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.
22 Ipapo Mozisi akatungamirira vaIsraeri kubva paGungwa Dzvuku uye vakapinda murenje reShuri. Vakafamba kwamazuva matatu murenje vachishayiwa mvura.
Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.
23 Vakati vasvika paMara, havana kugona kunwa mvura yacho nokuti yaivava. (Ndokusaka nzvimbo yacho ichinzi Mara.)
And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.
24 Saka vanhu vakapopotera Mozisi vachiti, “Tonweiko?”
And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?
25 Ipapo Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha, Jehovha akamuratidza chimuti. Akachikanda mumvura, mvura ikanaka. Jehovha akavaitirapo mutemo nomurayiro, uye akavaedza ipapo.
And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;
26 Akati, “Kana mukanyatsoteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wenyu uye mukaita zvakarurama pamberi pake, kana mukarerekera nzeve dzenyu kumirayiro yake uye mukachengeta mitemo yose, haangauyisi pamusoro penyu zvirwere zvose zvandakauyisa pamusoro pavaIjipita, nokuti ndini Jehovha anokuporesai.”
And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.
27 Ipapo vakasvika paErimu, paiva namatsime gumi namaviri uye nemiti yemichindwe makumi manomwe, uye vakadzika misasa ipapo pedyo nemvura.
And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
