ʻEkisotosi 14
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehēange,
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “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.
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 Koeʻuhi ʻe lea ʻa Felo ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Kuo nau ʻefihia ʻi he fonua, kuo punusia ʻakinautolu ʻe he toafa.
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 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.
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am YHWH. And they did so.
5 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?”
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 Pea naʻa ne teuʻi leva ʻene saliote, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa hono kakai mo ia:
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 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.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 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.
And YHWH hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 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.
But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 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.
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto YHWH.
11 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?
And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 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.”
Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 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.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of YHWH, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 ʻE tau ʻa Sihova maʻamoutolu, pea te mou fakalongo pe.”
YHWH shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 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.
And YHWH said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 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.
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 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.
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 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.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am YHWH, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 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:
And the angel of Elohim, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 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.
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 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.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and YHWH caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 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.
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 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.
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 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,
And it came to pass, that in the morning watch YHWH looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 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.”
And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for YHWH fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 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.”
And YHWH said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 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.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and YHWH overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 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.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 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.
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 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.
Thus YHWH saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 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.
And Israel saw that great work which YHWH did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared YHWH, and believed YHWH, and his servant Moses.
