၁ထာဝရဘုရားကမောရှေအား``ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့သည်ပြန်လှည့်၍ ဗာလဇေဖုန် မြို့အနီးမိဂဒေါလမြို့နှင့်ပင်လယ်နီစပ် ကြားရှိပိဟဟိရုတ်မြို့ရှေ့တွင်စခန်းချ ရန်ပြောလော့။-
2 ౨ “ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు వెనక్కి తిరిగి పీహహీరోతు ఎదుట, అంటే మిగ్దోలుకూ, సముద్రానికీ మధ్యలో ఉన్న బయల్సెఫోను దగ్గర విడిది చేయమని వారితో చెప్పు. వాళ్ళు అక్కడ ఉన్నప్పుడు

၃အီဂျစ်ဘုရင်က`ဣသရေလအမျိုးသား တို့သည် တောကန္တာရဝန်းရံလျက်ရှိသော အရပ်တွင်လှည့်လည်လျက်ရှိကြသည်' ဟု ထင်လိမ့်မည်။-
4 ౪ నేను ఫరో హృదయాన్ని కఠినపరుస్తున్నాను. అతడు వాళ్ళను తరుముతాడు. నేను ఫరో ద్వారా, మిగిలిన అతని సేన ద్వారా మహిమ పొందుతాను. నేను యెహోవాను అని ఐగుప్తీయులు తెలుసుకుంటారు.”
၄ငါသည်အီဂျစ်ဘုရင်ကိုခေါင်းမာစေသဖြင့် သူသည်ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့ကိုလိုက် လံတိုက်ခိုက်လိမ့်မည်။ ငါသည်ဘုရင်နှင့်သူ ၏စစ်တပ်ကိုနှိမ်နင်းသဖြင့် ငါ၏ဘုန်းထင်ရှား လိမ့်မည်။ ထိုအခါအီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့က ငါသည်ထာဝရဘုရားဖြစ်ကြောင်းသိမြင် လာကြလိမ့်မည်'' ဟုမိန့်တော်မူ၏။ ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့သည် ထာဝရဘုရားမိန့်မှာ တော်မူသည့်အတိုင်းဆောင်ရွက်ကြ၏။
5 ౫ ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు దేశం విడిచి వెళ్ళిపోయిన విషయం ఐగుప్తు రాజుకు చెప్పినప్పుడు ఫరో హృదయం, అతని సేవకుల హృదయాలు ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజపై కక్షతో నిండి పోయాయి. “మనం చేసిందేమిటి? మన కోసం పనులు చేయకుండా వాళ్ళను ఎందుకు వెళ్ళనిచ్చాం?” అని చెప్పుకున్నారు.
၅အီဂျစ်ဘုရင်သည်ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့ ထွက်ပြေးကုန်ကြပြီဖြစ်ကြောင်းကြားသိရ သောအခါ သူနှင့်သူ၏မှူးမတ်တို့သည်စိတ် သဘောထားပြောင်းလဲ၍``ငါတို့သည်ငါတို့ ၏အစေခံကျွန်ဣသရေလအမျိုးသား တို့ကို လွတ်မြောက်ထွက်ပြေးသွားစေပါသည် တကား'' ဟုဆိုကြ၏။-
၆အီဂျစ်ဘုရင်သည်မိမိ၏စစ်ရထားနှင့် စစ်တပ်ကိုအသင့်ပြင်စေ၏။-
၇သူသည်တပ်မှူးများဦးစီးသောလက်ရွေး စင်စစ်ရထားခြောက်ရာအပါအဝင် စစ် ရထားအားလုံးကိုစုရုံးချီတက်စေ၏။-
8 ౮ యెహోవా ఐగుప్తు రాజు ఫరో హృదయాన్ని కఠినం చేసినందువల్ల అతడు ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలను తరిమాడు. ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు తమ బలగం అంతటితో తరలి వెళ్తున్నారు.
၈ထာဝရဘုရားသည်ဘုရင်ကိုခေါင်းမာစေ သဖြင့် ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့နောက် သို့လိုက်လေ၏။ ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့ သည်ဝင့်ကြွားစွာဖြင့်ထွက်ခွာလျက်ရှိ ကြ၏။-
9 ౯ బయల్సెఫోను ఎదురుగా ఉన్న పీహహీరోతుకు దగ్గరలో సముద్రం దగ్గర వాళ్ళు విడిది చేసి ఉన్న సమయంలో ఫరో రథాలు, గుర్రాలు, గుర్రాల రౌతులు, ఐగుప్తు సైన్యం ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలను తరుముతూ వాళ్ళను సమీపించారు.
၉ဘုရင်၏စစ်တပ်၊ ရထားတပ်၊ မြင်းတပ်တို့ သည်ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့၏နောက် သို့လိုက်ကြရာတွင် ဗာလဇေဖုန်မြို့နှင့် ပိဟဟိရုတ်မြို့အနီးပင်လယ်နီကမ်းနား ၌စခန်းချလျက်ရှိသောဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့ကိုမီလေ၏။
10 ౧౦ ఫరో, అతని సైన్యం తమను తరుముతూ రావడం చూసిన ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు హడలిపోయారు. కేకలు వేస్తూ యెహోవాకు మొరపెట్టారు.
၁၀အီဂျစ်ဘုရင်၏စစ်တပ်ချီတက်လာသည်ကို ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့မြင်ရသောအခါ အလွန်ကြောက်ရွံ့၍ထာဝရဘုရားအား ကယ်မတော်မူရန်အော်ဟစ်တောင်းပန်ကြ၏။-
11 ౧౧ అప్పుడు వాళ్ళు మోషేతో “ఐగుప్తులో సమాధులు లేవని మమ్మల్ని ఈ ఎడారిలో చనిపోవడానికి తీసుకొచ్చావా? మమ్మల్ని ఐగుప్తు నుండి బయటికి తీసుకువచ్చి ఈ విధంగా చేస్తావా?
၁၁သူတို့ကမောရှေအား``အီဂျစ်ပြည်တွင် သင်္ချိုင်း မရှိသောကြောင့် တောကန္တာရထဲ၌သေစေ ရန်အကျွန်ုပ်တို့ကိုခေါ်ဆောင်ခဲ့ပါသလော။ အကျွန်ုပ်တို့ကိုအီဂျစ်ပြည်မှထုတ်ဆောင် ခဲ့သောကြောင့် ယခုမည်ကဲ့သို့သောအခြေ အနေမျိုးသို့ဆိုက်ရောက်ကာနေသည်ကို ကြည့်ပါလော့။-
12 ౧౨ మేము ఐగుప్తీయులకు బానిసలుగానే ఉంటాం, మా జోలికి రావద్దు అని ఐగుప్తులో ఉన్నప్పుడే చెప్పింది ఇందుకే గదా. మేము ఈ ఎడారిలో చనిపోవడం కంటే ఐగుప్తులో బానిసలుగా బతకడమే మంచిది” అని నిష్టూరంగా మాట్లాడారు.
၁၂အကျွန်ုပ်တို့သည်ထွက်မလာမီက ဤကဲ့ သို့ဖြစ်မည်ဟုပြောခဲ့သည်မဟုတ်ပါလော။ အကျွန်ုပ်တို့က`အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့ထံ၌ ကျွန်ခံမြဲကျွန်ခံနေပါရစေ' ဟုပြောပါ သည်။ ဤတောကန္တာရထဲ၌သေရသည်ထက် ကျွန်ခံနေရခြင်းကသာ၍ကောင်းပါသည်'' ဟုပြောလေ၏။
13 ౧౩ అందుకు మోషే “భయపడకండి, ఈ రోజు యెహోవా మీకు కలిగించే రక్షణను అలా నిలబడి చూడండి. మీరు ఈ రోజు చూసిన ఐగుప్తీయులను ఇకపై ఎన్నడూ చూడరు.
၁၃ထိုအခါမောရှေက``မကြောက်ကြနှင့်။ ကြံ့ ကြံ့ခိုင်ခိုင်ရှိစေကြလော့။ ထာဝရဘုရား သည်ယနေ့တွင် သင်တို့အားမည်ကဲ့သို့ကယ် တင်တော်မူမည်ကိုမြင်ရလိမ့်မည်။ သင်တို့ ယနေ့မြင်ရသောအီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့ ကို နောင်မည်သည့်အခါမျှမြင်ရလိမ့်မည် မဟုတ်။-
၁၄ထာဝရဘုရားသည်သင်တို့အတွက်စစ် တိုက်တော်မူလိမ့်မည်။ စိတ်မပူကြနှင့်'' ဟု ပြန်ပြောလေ၏။
၁၅ထာဝရဘုရားကမောရှေအား``အဘယ် ကြောင့်သင်တို့ဟစ်အော်နေကြသနည်း။ ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့အားရှေ့သို့ ချီတက်စေလော့။-
16 ౧౬ నీ కర్ర ఎత్తి ఆ సముద్రం వైపు నీ చెయ్యి చాపి దాన్ని రెండు పాయలుగా చెయ్యి. అప్పుడు ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు సముద్రం మధ్యలో ఆరిన పొడి నేల మీద నడిచి వెళ్తారు.
၁၆သင်၏တောင်ဝှေးကိုကိုင်၍ပင်လယ်ပေါ်တွင် လက်ကိုဆန့်လော့။ ထိုအခါပင်လယ်ရေသည် နှစ်ခြမ်းကွဲသဖြင့် ဣသရေလအမျိုးသား တို့သည်ခြောက်သွေ့သောမြေပေါ်မှာဖြတ် ၍လျှောက်သွားရကြမည်။-
17 ౧౭ చూడు, నేను ఐగుప్తీయుల హృదయాలను కఠినం చేస్తాను. వాళ్ళు మీ వెంటబడి తరుముతారు. నేను ఫరో ద్వారా, అతని సైన్యం అంతటి ద్వారా, అతని రథాల, గుర్రపు రౌతుల ద్వారా ఘనత తెచ్చుకొంటాను.
၁၇ငါသည်အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့ကိုခေါင်း မာစေသဖြင့် သူတို့သည်ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့နောက်သို့ဆင်းလိုက်ကြ လိမ့်မည်။ ငါသည်ဘုရင်နှင့်တကွသူ၏ စစ်တပ်၊ ရထားတပ်နှင့်မြင်းတပ်တို့ကို နှိမ်နင်းအောင်မြင်ခြင်းအားဖြင့် ငါ၏ ဘုန်းထင်ရှားလိမ့်မည်။-
18 ౧౮ నేను ఫరో ద్వారా, సైన్యం ద్వారా, అతని రథాల, గుర్రపు రౌతుల ద్వారా ఘనత పొందడం వల్ల నేను యెహోవానని ఐగుప్తీయులు తెలుసుకుంటారు.”
၁၈ထိုသို့ဘုရင်နှင့်သူ၏တပ်ကိုနှိမ်နင်းအောင် မြင်သဖြင့် ငါသည်ထာဝရဘုရားဖြစ် ကြောင်းအီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့သိရကြ လိမ့်မည်'' ဟုမိန့်တော်မူ၏။
19 ౧౯ అప్పటి వరకూ ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజల ముందు నడిచిన దేవదూత వాళ్ళ వెనక్కి వెళ్ళాడు. మేఘస్తంభం కూడా వాళ్ళ వెనక్కి వచ్చి నిలిచింది.
၁၉ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့၏ရှေ့ကကြွ သွားသော ဘုရားသခင်၏ကောင်းကင်တမန် သည်အနောက်ဘက်သို့နေရာပြောင်း၍လိုက် ပါလာ၏။ သူတို့၏အရှေ့၌ရှိသောမိုးတိမ် တိုင်သည်လည်း အနောက်ဘက်သို့နေရာ ပြောင်းသဖြင့်၊-
20 ౨౦ అది ఐగుప్తు సేనలకూ ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజల సమూహనికీ మధ్య నిలిచింది. ఆ మేఘం ఆ రాత్రంతా ఐగుప్తు సైన్యానికి చీకటి కమ్మేలా, అదే సమయంలో ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలకు వెలుగు ఉండేలా చేసింది.
၂၀အီဂျစ်တပ်နှင့်ဣသရေလတပ်တို့အကြား သို့ရောက်ရှိလေ၏။ မိုးတိမ်တိုင်သည်အီဂျစ် အမျိုးသားတို့ဘက်တွင်အမှောင်ကျစေ၍ ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့ဘက်တွင်မူ အလင်းရောင်ရစေ၏။ သို့ဖြစ်၍ထိုည တစ်ညလုံးတစ်တပ်နှင့်တစ်တပ်မချဉ်း ကပ်နိုင်ကြချေ။
21 ౨౧ మోషే సముద్రంపై తన చెయ్యి చాపాడు. యెహోవా ఆ రాత్రి అంతా బలమైన తూర్పు గాలి వీచేలా చేసి, సముద్రం పాయలుగా చీలి మధ్యలో ఆరిపోయి పొడి నేల ఏర్పడేలా చేశాడు.
၂၁မောရှေသည်ပင်လယ်ပေါ်သို့လက်ကိုဆန့် လိုက်ရာ ထာဝရဘုရားသည်အရှေ့ဘက် မှလေပြင်းကိုတစ်ညလုံးတိုက်ခတ်စေ သဖြင့် ပင်လယ်ရေကွဲ၍အောက်ခြေ၌ ခြောက်သွေ့သောမြေပေါ်စေတော်မူ၏။-
22 ౨౨ సముద్రం నీళ్లు రెండుగా విడిపోగా ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు సముద్రం మధ్యలో ఆరిన నేలపై నడిచి వెళ్ళారు. ఆ నీళ్లు వారి కుడి పక్కన, ఎడమ పక్కన గోడల్లాగా నిలబడ్డాయి.
၂၂ထိုအခါဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့သည် ရေတံတိုင်းနှစ်ခုအကြားခြောက်သွေ့သော မြေပေါ်မှာလျှောက်၍ပင်လယ်ကိုဖြတ်၍ သွားကြလေ၏။-
၂၃အီဂျစ်ဘုရင်၏စစ်တပ်၊ ရထားတပ်၊ မြင်းတပ် တို့သည်ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့နောက် သို့ဆင်းလိုက်ကြ၏။-
24 ౨౪ తెల్లవారుతుండగా యెహోవా ఆ అగ్ని స్తంభం నుండీ మేఘ స్తంభం నుండీ ఐగుప్తు సైన్యాన్ని చూసి వాళ్ళను కలవరానికి గురి చేశాడు.
၂၄နံနက်အရုဏ်မတက်မီအချိန်တွင် ထာဝရ ဘုရားသည်မီးတိုင်နှင့်မိုးတိမ်တိုင်တို့မှနေ ၍ အီဂျစ်စစ်တပ်ကိုကြည့်ရှုတော်မူပြီး လျှင်သူတို့ကိုဖရိုဖရဲဖြစ်စေတော်မူ၏။-
25 ౨౫ ఆయన వాళ్ళ రథచక్రాలు ఊడిపోయేలా చేసినప్పుడు వాళ్ళు అతి కష్టంగా రథాలు తోలవలసి వచ్చింది. అప్పుడు ఐగుప్తువాళ్ళు “రండి, మనం ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజల ఎదుట నుండి పారిపోదాం. యెహోవా వారికి తోడుగా ఉండి వాళ్ళ పక్షంగా యుద్ధం చేస్తున్నాడు” అని చెప్పుకున్నారు.
၂၅ထာဝရဘုရားသည်သူတို့၏ရထားဘီး များကိုကျွတ်ထွက်စေတော်မူသဖြင့် သူတို့ ၏ရထားများကိုအသွားရခက်စေတော် မူ၏။ ထို့ကြောင့်အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့က``ထာ ဝရဘုရားသည်ဣသရေလအမျိုးသား တို့ဘက်မှနေ၍ ကျွန်ုပ်တို့ကိုတိုက်ခိုက်လျက် ရှိတော်မူ၏။ ထွက်ပြေးကြစို့'' ဟုဆိုကြ၏။
26 ౨౬ యెహోవా మోషేతో “ఐగుప్తు సైన్యం మీదికి, వాళ్ళ రథాల, రౌతుల మీదికి నీళ్లు తిరిగి వచ్చేలా సముద్రం పైకి నీ చెయ్యి చాపు” అని చెప్పాడు.
၂၆ထာဝရဘုရားကမောရှေအား``သင်၏လက် ကိုပင်လယ်ပေါ်သို့ဆန့်၍ အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသား နှင့်သူတို့၏ရထားတပ်၊ မြင်းတပ်တို့အပေါ် သို့ရေပြန်၍စီးစေလော့'' ဟုမိန့်တော်မူ၏။-
27 ౨౭ మోషే సముద్రం పైకి తన చెయ్యి చాపాడు. సాయంత్రం అయ్యేటప్పటికి సముద్రం వడిగా మళ్ళీ కలిసిపోయింది. అది చూసిన ఐగుప్తు సైన్యం వెనక్కి పారిపోవాలని చూశారు. అప్పుడు యెహోవా సముద్రం మధ్యలో ఐగుప్తు సైన్యం నాశనమయ్యేలా చేశాడు.
၂၇သို့ဖြစ်၍မောရှေသည်ပင်လယ်ပေါ်သို့လက် ကိုဆန့်သဖြင့် နံနက်မိုးလင်းသည့်အခါရေ သည်ပုံမှန်အတိုင်းပြန်လည်စီးလေ၏။ ရေ ပြန်တက်လာစဉ်အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့သည် ထွက်ပြေးကြသော်လည်း ထာဝရဘုရား သည်သူတို့အားပင်လယ်ထဲ၌နစ်မြုပ်စေ တော်မူ၏။-
28 ౨౮ నీళ్లు వేగంగా ప్రవహించి ఆ రథాలను, రౌతులను, వారి వెనుక సముద్రంలోకి వచ్చిన ఫరో సైన్యం మొత్తాన్నీ ముంచివేశాయి. వాళ్ళలో ఒక్కడు కూడా మిగలకుండా అంతా తుడిచిపెట్టుకు పోయారు.
၂၈ရေသည်ပုံမှန်အတိုင်းပြန်စီးသဖြင့်ပင် လယ်ထဲသို့ဆင်းလိုက်လာကြသောရထား တပ်၊ မြင်းတပ်နှင့်အီဂျစ်ဘုရင်၏တပ်အား လုံးတို့သည်တစ်ယောက်မျှမကျန်ရေနစ်၍ သေကုန်ကြ၏။-
29 ౨౯ అయితే ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు సముద్రం మధ్యలో ఆరిన నేలపై నడిచినప్పుడు ఆ నీళ్లు వారికి కుడి, ఎడమ పక్కల గోడల్లాగా నిలబడ్డాయి.
၂၉ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့မူကား တစ်ဘက် တစ်ချက်ရှိရေတံတိုင်းနှစ်ခုအကြားခြောက် သွေ့သောမြေပေါ်မှာ လျှောက်၍ပင်လယ်ကို ဖြတ်ကူးခဲ့ရကြလေ၏။
30 ౩౦ ఆ రోజున యెహోవా ఐగుప్తు సైన్యం నుండి ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలను రక్షించాడు. చనిపోయి ఒడ్డుకు కొట్టుకు వచ్చిన ఐగుప్తు వాళ్ళను ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు చూశారు.
၃၀ထိုနေ့တွင်ထာဝရဘုရားသည် ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့ကိုအီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့ ၏လက်မှကယ်တင်တော်မူ၏။ ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့သည် အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့ ၏အလောင်းများကိုပင်လယ်ကမ်းပေါ်၌ အတုံးအရုံးရှိသည်ကိုတွေ့မြင်ကြ လေ၏။-
31 ౩౧ తమ కోసం యెహోవా ఐగుప్తు వాళ్ల పట్ల చేసిన ఈ గొప్ప కార్యం చూసిన ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలకు యెహోవా అంటే భయభక్తులు కలిగాయి. ఆ ప్రజలు యెహోవా మీదా, ఆయన సేవకుడు మోషే మీదా నమ్మకముంచారు.
၃၁သူတို့သည်ထာဝရဘုရားကအနန္တ တန်ခိုးတော်ဖြင့် အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့ အားနှိမ်နင်းလိုက်သည်ကိုတွေ့မြင်သဖြင့် ထာဝရဘုရားကိုကြောက်ရွံ့ရိုသေလာ ကြကုန်၏။ ထာဝရဘုရားနှင့်ထာဝရ ဘုရား၏ကျွန်မောရှေတို့ကိုယုံကြည် ကိုးစားလာကြ၏။
