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 sang this song to the LORD, and said, “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider 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 song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
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.
He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
5 Mvura yakadzika yakavafukidza; vakanyura kwakadzika sedombo.
The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 “Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, imi Jehovha, rwakakudzwa nesimba. Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, imi Jehovha, rwakaparadza muvengi.
Your right hand, LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces.
7 “Muukuru hwoumambo hwenyu makakanda pasi vaya vaikupikisai. Makasunungura kutsamwa kwenyu kunopisa, kukavapisa sehundi.
In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
8 Nokufema kwemhino dzenyu mvura zhinji yakaita murwi. Mvura yamasaisai yakamira yakasimba semadziro; mvura yakadzika yakaungana mukati megungwa.
With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 “Muvengi akazvikudza achiti, ‘Ndichavatevera, ndichavabata. Ndichagova zvakapambwa; ndichazvimbirwa navo. Ndichavhomora munondo wangu uye ruoko rwangu ruchavaparadza.’
The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’
10 Asi makafuridza nokufema kwenyu, gungwa rikavafukidza. Vakanyura somutobvu mukati memvura ine simba.
You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 “Ndianiko pakati pavamwari akaita semi, imi Jehovha? Ndiani akaita semi, paumambo noutsvene, mukubwinya kunotyisa, anoita zvishamiso?
Who is like you, LORD, amongst the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Makatambanudza ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, nyika ikavamedza.
You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
13 “Murudo rwenyu rusingaperi muchatungamirira vanhu vamakadzikinura. Musimba renyu imi muchavatungamirira kuugaro hwenyu hutsvene.
“You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
14 Ndudzi dzichazvinzwa uye dzichadedera; kurwadziwa kuchabata vanhu vokuFiristia.
The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Madzishe eEdhomu achavhundutswa, vatungamiri veMoabhu vachabatwa nokudedera, vanhu veKenani vachanyunguduka;
Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 kutya nokuvhunduka zvichavawira. Nesimba roruoko rwenyu vachanyarara kunge dombo, kusvikira vanhu venyu vapfuura, imi Jehovha, kusvikira vanhu vamakatenga vapfuura.
Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone, until your people pass over, LORD, until the people you have purchased pass over.
17 Muchaenda navomo uye mugovasima pagomo renhaka yenyu, nzvimbo tsvene yakasimbiswa namaoko enyu, imi Jehovha.
You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, LORD, which you have made for yourself to dwell in: the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
18 “Jehovha achatonga nokusingaperi-peri.”
The LORD will reign forever 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 went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
20 Ipapo Miriamu muprofitakadzi, hanzvadzi yaAroni, akatora tambureni muruoko rwake, uye vakadzi vose vakamutevera, vana matambureni uye vachitamba.
Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
21 Miriamu akavaimbira akati: “Imbirai Jehovha, nokuti anokudzwa zvikuru kuru. Bhiza nomutasvi waro akazvikanda mugungwa.”
Miriam answered them, “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”
22 Ipapo Mozisi akatungamirira vaIsraeri kubva paGungwa Dzvuku uye vakapinda murenje reShuri. Vakafamba kwamazuva matatu murenje vachishayiwa mvura.
Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 Vakati vasvika paMara, havana kugona kunwa mvura yacho nokuti yaivava. (Ndokusaka nzvimbo yacho ichinzi Mara.)
When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
24 Saka vanhu vakapopotera Mozisi vachiti, “Tonweiko?”
The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 Ipapo Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha, Jehovha akamuratidza chimuti. Akachikanda mumvura, mvura ikanaka. Jehovha akavaitirapo mutemo nomurayiro, uye akavaedza ipapo.
Then he cried to the LORD. The LORD showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested 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.”
He said, “If you will diligently listen to the LORD your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”
27 Ipapo vakasvika paErimu, paiva namatsime gumi namaviri uye nemiti yemichindwe makumi manomwe, uye vakadzika misasa ipapo pedyo nemvura.
They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
