Kutoka 15
1 Ndipo Mose na Waisraeli wakamwimbia Bwana wimbo huu: “Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa ametukuzwa sana. Farasi na mpanda farasi amewatosa baharini.
Then he sang Moses and [the] people of Israel the song this to Yahweh and they said saying I will sing to Yahweh for certainly he is exalted [the] horse and rider its he has thrown in the sea.
2 Bwana ni nguvu zangu na wimbo wangu; amekuwa wokovu wangu. Yeye ni Mungu wangu, nami nitamsifu, Mungu wa baba yangu, nami nitamtukuza.
[is] might My and strength Yahweh and he has become of me salvation this [is] God my and I will glorify him [the] God of father my and I will exalt him.
3 Bwana ni shujaa wa vita; Bwana ndilo jina lake.
Yahweh [is] a man of war Yahweh [is] name his.
4 Magari ya vita ya Farao na jeshi lake amewatosa baharini. Maafisa wa Farao walio bora sana wamezamishwa katika Bahari ya Shamu.
[the] chariots of Pharaoh and army his he has thrown in the sea and [the] choicest of officers his they have been sunk in [the] sea of reed[s].
5 Maji yenye kina yamewafunika, wamezama mpaka vilindini kama jiwe.
[the] deeps They have covered them they went down in [the] depths like a stone.
6 “Mkono wako wa kuume, Ee Bwana ulitukuka kwa uweza. Mkono wako wa kuume, Ee Bwana, ukamponda adui.
Right [hand] your O Yahweh [was] glorious in power right [hand] your O Yahweh it shattered [the] enemy.
7 Katika ukuu wa utukufu wako, ukawaangusha chini wale waliokupinga. Uliachia hasira yako kali, ikawateketeza kama kapi.
And in [the] greatness of majesty your you threw down [those who] rose against you you sent forth anger your it consumed them like stubble.
8 Kwa pumzi ya pua zako maji yalijilundika. Mawimbi ya maji yakasimama imara kama ukuta, vilindi vikagandamana ndani ya moyo wa bahari.
And by [the] breath of nostrils your they were piled up [the] waters they stood up like a heap streams they congealed [the] deeps in [the] heart of [the] sea.
9 “Adui alijivuna, ‘Nitawafuatia, nitawapata. Nitagawanya nyara; nitajishibisha kwa wao. Nitafuta upanga wangu na mkono wangu utawaangamiza.’
He said [the] enemy I will pursue I will overtake I will divide [the] plunder it will be full of them self my I will draw sword my it will dispossess them hand my.
10 Lakini ulipuliza kwa pumzi yako, bahari ikawafunika. Wakazama kama risasi kwenye maji makuu.
You blew with breath your it covered them [the] sea they sank like lead in [the] waters mighty.
11 “Ni nani miongoni mwa miungu aliye kama wewe, Ee Bwana? Ni nani kama Wewe: uliyetukuka katika utakatifu, utishaye katika utukufu, ukitenda maajabu?
Who? [is] like you among the gods O Yahweh who? [is] like you glorious in holiness awesome of praises doing wonder[s].
12 Uliunyoosha mkono wako wa kuume na nchi ikawameza.
You stretched out right [hand] your it swallowed up them [the] earth.
13 “Katika upendo wako usiokoma utawaongoza watu uliowakomboa. Katika nguvu zako utawaongoza mpaka makao yako matakatifu.
You have guided in covenant loyalty your [the] people which you have redeemed you have led [them] by strength your to [the] abode of holiness your.
14 Mataifa watasikia na kutetemeka, uchungu utawakamata watu wa Ufilisti.
They have heard peoples they tremble! anguish it has seized [the] inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Wakuu wa Edomu wataogopa, viongozi wa Moabu watatetemeka kwa hofu, watu wa Kanaani watayeyuka,
Then they are terrified [the] chiefs of Edom [the] leaders of Moab it has seized them trembling they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of Canaan.
16 vitisho na hofu vitawaangukia. Kwa nguvu ya mkono wako watatulia kama jiwe, mpaka watu wako waishe kupita, Ee Bwana, mpaka watu uliowanunua wapite.
It has fallen on them terror and dread on [the] greatness of strength your they have become still like stone until it has passed by people your O Yahweh until it has passed by [the] people which you have bought.
17 Utawaingiza na kuwapandikiza juu ya mlima wa urithi wako: hapo mahali, Ee Bwana, ulipopafanya kuwa makao yako, mahali patakatifu, Ee Bwana, ulipopajenga kwa mikono yako.
You will bring them and you will plant them on [the] mountain of inheritance your a place to dwell you you have made O Yahweh a sanctuary O Lord they have established hands your.
18 Bwana atatawala milele na milele.”
Yahweh - he will reign for ever and ever.
19 Farasi wa Farao, magari yake ya vita na wapanda farasi wake walipoingia baharini, Bwana aliyarudisha maji ya bahari yakawafunika, lakini wana wa Israeli walipita baharini mahali pakavu.
For it came [the] horse[s] of Pharaoh with chariot[s] his and with horsemen his in the sea and he brought back Yahweh over them [the] waters of the sea and [the] people of Israel they walked on the dry ground in [the] middle of the sea.
20 Kisha Miriamu yule nabii mke, ndugu yake Aroni, akachukua matari mkononi mwake na wanawake wote wakamfuata na matari yao wakicheza.
And she took Miriam the prophetess [the] sister of Aaron the tambourine in hand her and they went out all the women behind her with tambourines and with dancing.
21 Miriamu akawaimbia: “Mwimbieni Bwana, kwa maana ametukuka sana. Farasi na mpanda farasi amewatosa baharini.”
And she sang to them Miriam sing to Yahweh for certainly he is exalted horse and rider its he has thrown in the sea.
22 Kisha Mose akawaongoza Israeli kutoka Bahari ya Shamu na kuingia katika Jangwa la Shuri. Kwa siku tatu walisafiri jangwani bila kupata maji.
And he led out Moses Israel from [the] sea of reed[s] and they went out into [the] wilderness of Shur and they went three days in the wilderness and not they found water.
23 Walipofika Mara, hawakuweza kunywa maji yake kwa sababu yalikuwa machungu. (Ndiyo sababu mahali hapo panaitwa Mara)
And they came Marah towards and not they were able to drink waters from Marah for [were] bitter they there-fore someone called name its Marah.
24 Kwa hiyo watu wakamnungʼunikia Mose, wakisema, “Tunywe nini?”
And they grumbled the people on Moses saying what? will we drink.
25 Ndipo Mose akamlilia Bwana, naye Bwana akamwonyesha kipande cha mti. Akakitupa ndani ya maji, nayo maji yakawa matamu. Huko Bwana akawapa amri na sheria na huko akawajaribu.
And he cried out to Yahweh and he showed him Yahweh a tree and he threw [it] into the waters and they became sweet the waters there he made for it a decree and a custom and there he put to [the] test it.
26 Mungu akasema, “Kama mkisikiliza kwa bidii sauti ya Bwana Mungu wenu na kuyafanya yaliyo sawa machoni pake, kama mkiyatii maagizo yake na kuzishika amri zake zote, sitaleta juu yenu ugonjwa wowote niliowaletea Wamisri, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana, niwaponyaye.”
And he said certainly [if] you will listen to [the] voice of - Yahweh God your and the right in view his you will do and you will give ear to commandments his and you will keep all decrees his any sickness which I put on Egypt not I will put on you for I [am] Yahweh [who] heals you.
27 Kisha wakafika Elimu, mahali palipokuwa na chemchemi kumi na mbili, na miti sabini ya mitende, wakapiga kambi huko karibu na maji.
And they came Elim towards and [were] there two [plus] ten springs of water and seventy palm trees and they encamped there at the water.
