< Kutoka 14 >
1 Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehēange,
2 “Waambie Waisraeli wageuke na kueka kambi mbele ya Pi Hahirothi, katikati ya Migdoli na bahari, mbele ya Baali Zefoni. Wapaswa kueka kambi pembenni ya Pi Hahirothi.
“Tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau afe ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Piheloti ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Mikitoli mo e tahi, ʻo hanga tonu ki Peali-sefoni: mou ʻapitanga ʻi he feangai mo ia ʻo ofi ki tahi.
3 Farao atasema kuhusu Waisraeli, 'Wanaangaika kwenye nchi. Nyikani imewafunika.'
Koeʻuhi ʻe lea ʻa Felo ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Kuo nau ʻefihia ʻi he fonua, kuo punusia ʻakinautolu ʻe he toafa.
4 Nitaufanya moyo wa Farao mgumu, na yeye ata wakimbiza. Nitapata utukufu kwasababu ya Farao na jeshi lake lote. Wamisri watajua mimi ni Yahweh.” Kisha Waisraeli wakaeka kambi kama walivyo elekezwa.
Pea te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, koeʻuhi ke ne tuli ʻakinautolu; pea te u ongolelei ai ʻia Felo mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē; ke ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko Sihova au.” Pea naʻa nau fai ia.
5 Mfalme wa Misri alipo ambiwa Waisraeli wametoroka, nia ya Farao na watumishi wake ikageuka dhidi ya watu. Wakasema, “Tumefanya nini kwa kuwaacha Waisraeli waende huru na wasitutumikie?”
Pea naʻe tala ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kuo hola ʻae kakai: pea naʻe kovi leva ʻae loto ʻo Felo, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kakai, pea nau pehē, “Ko e hā kuo tau fai ai ʻae meʻa ni, ke tuku ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu mei heʻenau tauhi ʻakitautolu?”
6 Kisha Farao akachukuwa magari yake ya farasi na jeshi lake.
Pea naʻa ne teuʻi leva ʻene saliote, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa hono kakai mo ia:
7 Alichukuwa magari ya farasi mia sita imara na magari yote ya farasi ya Misri, pamoja na maafisa wa hayo magari.
Pea ne ʻave ʻae saliote fili ʻe onongeau, mo e ngaahi saliote kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite pea naʻe taki taha kotoa pē ʻa hono ʻeikitau.
8 Yahweh akafanya mgumu moyo wa Farao, mfalme wa Misri, na mfalme akawafukuzia Waisraeli. Sasa Waisraeli waliondoka kwa shangwe.
Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne tuli ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e nima māʻolunga.
9 Lakini Wamisri wali wafukuzia, pamoja na farasi na magari ya farasi, wapanda farasi, na jeshi lake. Walikuta Waisraeli wameeka kambi pembezoni mwa bahari kati ya Pi Hahirothi na Baali Zefoni.
Ka naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, ko e fanga hoosi kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi saliote ʻo Felo, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi, mo ʻene tau, ʻonau maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ʻapitanga ʻo ofi ki tahi, ʻi he potu ʻo Piheloti, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Peali-sefoni.
10 Farao alipo karibia, Waisraeli walitaza juu na kushangaa. Wamisri walikuwa wakija kwao, na waliogopa. Waisraeli walimlilia Yahweh.
Pea ʻi he ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ʻa Felo, pea hanga hake ʻae mata ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea vakai, ʻoku tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite; naʻa nau manavahē lahi: pea tangi kalanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova.
11 Walimwambia Musa, “Ni kwasababu hakukuwa na makaburi Misri, hadi umetuleta tufe huku nyikani? Kwanini umetutendea hivi, kwa kututoa Misri?
Pea naʻa nau pehē kia Mōsese, ‘Naʻe ʻikai ha tanuʻanga ʻi ʻIsipite, ko ia kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu ke mate ʻi he toafa? Ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai kiate kimautolu, ke fetuku ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite?
12 Hili si ndilo tulilo kwambia Misri? Tulikwambia, 'Utuache, ili tuwafanyie Wamisri kazi.' Ingekuwa bora kwetu sisi kuwafanyia kazi kuliko kufa nyikani.”
ʻIkai ko e lea eni naʻa mau tala kiate koe ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, Tuku ai pe ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ke mau tauhi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite? He tā ne lelei lahi ʻemau tauhi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻemau mate ʻi he toafa.”
13 Musa akawaambia watu, “Msiogope. Simameni imara na muone wokovu Yahweh atakao uleta kwenu leo. Kwa maana hamtawaona tena Wamisri mnao waona leo.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “ʻOua te mou manavahē, tuʻu fakalongolongo pe, ʻo mamata ki he fakamoʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia te ne fakahā kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni: he ko e kakai ʻIsipite kuo mou mamata ki ai he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki ai ʻo lauikuonga.
14 Yahweh ata wapigania, na ninyi mtasima imara.”
ʻE tau ʻa Sihova maʻamoutolu, pea te mou fakalongo pe.”
15 Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Kwanini wewe, Musa, unaendelea kuniita mimi? Waambie Waisraeli waendelee mbele.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai kiate au? Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau ʻalu atu pe.
16 Nyanyua gongo lako juu, nyoosha mkono wako kuelekea baharini na uigawanye sehemu mbili, ili watu wa Israeli wapite baharini kwenye nchi kavu.
Ka ke hiki hake ho tokotoko, ʻo mafao atu ho nima ki tahi, ʻo fakavaeua ia: pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he kelekele mōmoa ʻi he loto tahi.
17 Jitahadharishe kuwa nitafanya mioyo ya Wamisri kuwa migumu ili wawafuate. Nitapata utukufu kwasababu ya Farao na jeshi lake lote, magari yake ya farasi, na wapanda farasi.
Pea ko au, vakai, te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea te nau muimui ʻiate kinautolu; pea te u maʻu ʻae ongoongo ʻia Felo, pea mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.
18 Kisha Wamisri watajua kuwa mimi ni Yahweh nitakapo pata utukufu kwasababu ya Farao, magari yake ya farasi, na wapanda farasi wake.”
Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko au ko Sihova, hili ʻae fakaongoongo au ʻia Felo, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.”
19 Malaika wa Mungu, aliyeenda mbele ya Waisraeli, aliama na kwenda nyuma yao. Nguzo ya wingu ili sogea mbele yao na kwenda kusimama nyumba yao.
Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he fononga ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe hiki ʻo ʻalu kimui ʻiate kinautolu; pea ko e pou ʻoe ʻao naʻe hiki ia mei honau ʻao, ʻo tuʻu kimui ʻiate kinautolu:
20 Wingu lilikuja katikati ya kambi ya Misri na kambi ya Israeli. Lilikuwa wingu jeusi kwa Wamisri, lakini liliangaza usiku kwa ajili ya Waisraeli, hivyo upande mmoja haukuweza kuja karibu ya mwingine usiku wote.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ʻo tuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite mo e kakai ʻIsileli; pea ko e ʻao ia mo e fakapoʻuli [kiate kinautolu ]na, ka naʻe fakamaama ia [kiate kinautolu ]ni: ko ia naʻe ʻikai hoko ai ʻae taha ki he taha ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia.
21 Musa akanyoosha mkono wake kuelekea bahari. Yahweh akasogeza bahari nyuma kwa upepo mkali wa mashariki usiku huo wote na kufanya bahari nchi kavu. Kwa namna hii maji yaligawanyika.
Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese ki tahi; pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihova ke foki ʻae tahi ʻi he matangi mālohi mei hahake, ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae tahi ke mōmoa, pea naʻe vaeua ʻae ngaahi vai.
22 Waisraeli walienda katikati ya bahari kwa nchi kavu. Maji yaliunda ukuta mkono wao wa kulia na mkono wao wa kushoto.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mōmoa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he loto tahi: pea ko e ʻā kiate kinautolu ʻae vai ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e nima toʻohema.
23 Wamisri waka wafukuzia. Wali wafuata hadi katikati ya bahari - farasi wote wa Farao, magari ya farasi, na wapanda farasi.
Pea tuli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, ʻonau ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻiate kinautolu ki loto tahi, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi hoosi kotoa pē ʻa Felo, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo e kau heka hoosi.
24 Lakini masaa ya mapema ya asubui, Yahweh alitazama chini jeshi la Wamisri kupitia nguzo ya moto na wingu. Alisababisha hofu miongoni mwa Wamisri.
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae lakanga leʻo pongipongi, naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki he kau tau ʻo ʻIsipite mei he pou ʻoe afi mo e ʻao, ʻo ne veuveuki ʻae tau ʻae kakai ʻIsipite,
25 Magari yao ya farasi yalikuwa yana kwama matairi, na wapanda farasi waliendesha kwa ugumu. Hivyo Wamisri walisema, “Acha tuwakimbie Waisraeli, kwa kuwa Yahweh anawapigania dhidi yetu.”
ʻO ne toʻo ʻae vaʻe mei heʻenau ngaahi saliote; ko ia naʻe tohongataʻa ai: pea pehē ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, “Ke tau hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; he ʻoku tau maʻanautolu ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu ʻIsipite.”
26 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Nyoosha mkono kuelekea bahari ili maji yawarudie Wamisri, magari yao ya farasi, na wapanda farasi wao.”
Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ki tahi, koeʻuhi ke toe haʻu ʻae tahi ki he kakai ʻIsipite, pea ki heʻenau ngaahi saliote, pea mo e kau tangata heka hoosi.”
27 Hivyo Musa akanyoosha mkono wake kuelekea bahari, na ikarudi kwenye hali yake ya kawaida palipo pambazuka. Wamisri walikimbilia ndani ya bahari, na Yahweh akawaingiza Wamisri katikati ndani yake.
Pea mafao atu ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese ki tahi, pea pongipongi ai, naʻe toe tau mai ʻae tahi ʻi heʻene mālohi; pea hola ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite; ka naʻe liaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi loto tahi.
28 Maji yakarudi na kufunika magari ya farasi ya Farao, wapanda farasi, na jeshi lake lote lililo fuata magari ya farasi kwenye bahari. Hakuna aliyepona.
Pea naʻe tau mai ʻae tahi, ʻo lōmakiʻi ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻa Felo, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi, pea mo e tau kotoa pē naʻe haʻu ki tahi ʻo tuli ʻakinautolu; naʻe ʻikai ke hao ha tokotaha.
29 Walakini, Waisraeli walitembea kwenye nchi kavu katikati ya bahari. Maji yalikuwa ukuta kwao mkono wa kulia na mkono wa kushoto.
Ka naʻe ʻalu pe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he mōmoa ʻi loto tahi: pea hangē ko e ʻā maka ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e toʻohema.
30 Hivyo Yahweh akaokoa Israeli hiyo siku kutoka mkono wa Wamisri, na Israeli ikaona maiti za Wamisri ufukweni.
Naʻe pehē hono fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite; pea naʻe mamata ʻa ʻIsileli ki he kakai mate ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻi he matātahi.
31 Israeli ilipoona nguvu kubwa Yahweh aliyo itumia dhidi ya Wamisri, watu walimsifu Yahweh, na kumwamini Yahweh na mtumishi wake Musa.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ngāue lahi ko ia, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ki he kakai ʻIsipite; pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai kia Sihova, ʻo tui kia Sihova, mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.
