ʻEkisotosi 15

1 Pea naʻe toki hiva ʻe Mōsese mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae hiva ni kia Sihova, ʻonau pehē, “Te u hiva kia Sihova, he kuo ne ikuna fakamanavahē: ko e hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai kuo ne lī ki loto tahi.

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 Ko hoku mālohi mo ʻeku hiva ʻa Sihova, pea kuo hoko ia ko hoku fakamoʻui: ho hoku ʻOtua ia, pea teu teuteu moʻona ʻae fale nofoʻanga; ko e ʻOtua ia ʻo ʻeku tamai, pea te u fakahikihiki ia.

The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation [yeshu`ah]. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3 ‌ʻOku toʻa ʻa Sihova ʻi he tau: ko Sihova hono huafa.

The LORD is a man of war. The LORD is his name.

4 “Ko e ngaahi saliote ʻa Felo mo ʻene kautau kuo ne lī ki tahi: ko ʻene ngaahi ʻeikitau ongoongo kuo ne lōmakiʻi foki ʻi he tahi Kulokula.

He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Sea of Suf.

5 Kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he loloto naʻa nau ngalo hifo ki he kilisi tahi ʻo hangē ko e foʻi maka.

The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

6 “Ko ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻe Sihova kuo ongoongolelei lahi ʻi he mālohi; ko ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻe Sihova kuo ne laiki ke iikiiki ʻae fili.

Your right hand, LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces.

7 Pea ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi kuo ke fulihi ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻu hake kiate koe: naʻa ke fekau atu ho houhau, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e veve.

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 Pea ʻi he mānava mālohi ʻo hoʻo fofonga, naʻe tānaki fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi vai, naʻe tuʻu totonu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ha ʻesi, pea naʻe mohe ʻae loloto ʻi loto tahi.

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 Naʻe pehē ʻe he fili, ‘Te u tuli, te u lavaʻi, te u vahevahe ʻae koloa ʻoe vete; ʻe mākona ʻeku holi kiate kinautolu; teu unuhi hake ʻeku heletā, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe hoku nima ʻakinautolu.’

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 Naʻa ke ifi ʻaki hoʻo matangi, pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tahi: naʻa nau ngalo hifo ʻo hangē ko e ukamea ʻi he loto moana.

You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 ‌ʻE Sihova ko hai ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua, ʻoku tatau mo e ʻafiona? Ko hai ʻoku hangē ko e ʻafiona, ʻoku ke nāunauʻia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ke fakamanavahē ʻi he fakamālō, ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo?

Who is like you, LORD, amongst the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 Naʻa ke mafao atu ho nima toʻomataʻu, naʻe folo hifo ʻakinautolu ʻe he kelekele.

You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

13 “Naʻe tataki atu ʻe he ʻafiona ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻae kakai ʻaia naʻa ke huhuʻi: kuo ke fakahinohino ʻakinautolu ʻi hoʻo māfimafi ki ho ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.

“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 ‌ʻE fanongo ʻae kakai, pea manavahē: ʻe pukea ʻi he mamahi ʻae kakai ʻo Filisitia.

The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 ‌ʻE ofo ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo ʻItomi; ʻe pukea ʻi he tetetete ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻo Moape; ʻe fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kēnani.

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 ‌ʻE tō ʻae manavahē mo e ilifia kiate kinautolu: ʻi hono lahi ʻo ho nima te nau longo mate pe ʻo hangē ha maka: kaeʻoua ke hoko atu ho kakai, ʻE Sihova, ke ʻoua ke hoko atu ʻae kakai, ʻaia kuo ke fakatau:

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 Pea te ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki ai, ʻo tō ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ho tofiʻa, ʻi he potu, ʻe Sihova, ʻaia kuo ke teuʻi ke ke ʻafio ki ai, ʻi he Potu toputapu, ʻE ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ho nima.

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 ‌ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.”

The LORD will reign forever and ever.”

19 He naʻe ʻalu ʻae hoosi ʻa Felo mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi ki tahi, pea naʻe toe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu; ka naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he mōmoa ʻi loto tahi.

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 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Miliame ko e palōfita fefine ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻElone, ʻae kihiʻi lali kiliʻi manu ʻi hono nima; pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau fefine kotoa pē mo ʻenau ngaahi lali mo e meʻe.

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 Pea naʻe talia ʻakinautolu ʻe Miliame, ʻo pehē, “Mou hiva kia Sihova, he kuo ne ikuna fakamanavahē: ko e hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai kuo ne lī ki tahi.”

Miriam answered them, “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”

22 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻIsileli mei he tahi Kulokula, pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ki he toafa ʻo Sua; pea naʻa nau fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻi he toafa, pea ʻikai ʻilo ha vai.

Moses led Israel onward from the Sea of Suf, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki Mala, naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa inu ʻae vai ʻo Mala, he naʻe kona: ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ko Mala.

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 Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā te mau inu?”

The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

25 Pea naʻe tangi ia kia Sihova, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻakau, ʻaia naʻa ne lī ki he vai, pea naʻe melie ai ʻae vai: pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni, mo ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.

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 ‌ʻO ne pehē, “Kapau te ke faʻa tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mo ke fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi hono ʻao, mo ke fanongo ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo tauhi ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻai kiate koe hā mahaki ʻe taha, ʻi he ngaahi mahaki, ʻaia naʻaku ʻomi ki he kakai ʻIsipite: he ko au Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamoʻui koe.”

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 Pea naʻa nau hoko ki ʻElimi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae luo vai ʻe hongofulu ma ua, mo e ʻakau ko e paame ʻe fitungofulu: pea naʻa nau ʻapitanga ʻi ai, ʻo ofi ki he vai.

They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
