2 Mose 15

1 Na Mose ne Israelfo no too saa dwom yi de kamfoo Awurade: “Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, efisɛ wadi nkonim anuonyam mu; Watow ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefo no agu po mu.

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

2 “Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden, me dwom ne me nkwagye. Ɔyɛ me Nyankopɔn, na mɛkamfo no. Ɔyɛ mʼagya Nyankopɔn, mɛma no so.

The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3 Awurade yɛ ɔkofo; ne din ne Awurade.

The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.

4 Farao nteaseɛnam ne nʼakofo, watow wɔn agu po mu. Wɔamemem wɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ mu. Misraim akofo atitiriw awuwu asorɔkye ase.

Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

5 Nsu akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem asubun mu sɛ ɔbo.

The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

6 Wo nsa nifa, Awurade, tumi ne anuonyam ahyɛ no ma; wo nsa nifa, Awurade, atetew atamfo mu pasaa.

Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

7 “Wo tumi kɛse no mu na wonam tuu wɔn a wotia wo no gui. Womaa wʼabufuw bɛhyew wɔn sɛnea ogya hyew sare.

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.

8 Wugu ahome a, nsu mu pae. Egyinaa sɛ afasu maa po taa fa ne fa.

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 Ɔtamfo kae se, ‘Mɛtaa wɔn, mɛto wɔn, asɛe wɔn. Mɛtwe mʼafoa wɔ wɔn so atwitwa wɔn asinasin.’

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

10 Nanso Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa ma po kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subun no mu.

Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Hena na ɔte sɛ Awurade wɔ anyame mu? Hena na ɔte sɛ wo? Obirɛmpɔn, wɔ kronkronyɛ mu; nea yɛde osuro kronkron ma nʼanuonyam, Ɔnwonwani Nyankopɔn.

Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?

12 “Woteɛɛ wo nsa nifa na asase menee wɔn.

Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13 Woadi nnipa a wugyee wɔn no anim. Wʼayamye mu, wubedi wo nkurɔfo a woagye wɔn anim. Wʼahoɔden mu, wobɛkyerɛ wɔn kwan akɔ wo tenabea kronkron hɔ.

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [ which] thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

14 Amanaman bɛte ama wɔn ho apopo. Ehu bɛka nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia.

The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Edom mpanyimfo besuro. Atumfo a wɔwɔ Moab ho bɛwosow. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa bɛbɔ huboa.

Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

16 Ehu ne suro bɛtɔ wɔn so. Awurade, wo tumi nti, wɔremma yɛn so! Wo nkurɔfo a wotɔɔ wɔn Betwa wɔn ho asomdwoe mu.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, [ which] thou hast purchased.

17 Wode wɔn bɛba abedua wɔn wɔ wo bepɔw so, wo ara wo fi hɔ, Awurade— Kronkronbea a woasiesie sɛ wo tenabea no.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which] thou hast made for thee to dwell in, [in] the Sanctuary, O Lord, [which] thy hands have established.

18 “Awurade bedi hene akosi daa.”

The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

19 Farao apɔnkɔ, nʼapɔnkɔkafo ne ne nteaseɛnam pɛɛ sɛ wɔfa po no mu; nanso Awurade buu nsu afasu no guu wɔn so bere a na Israelfo no nam mu sɛ asase wosee so.

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.

20 Ɛhɔ na Odiyifobea Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabea faa akyene bi bɔ de dii mmea no anim ma wɔsawee.

And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

21 Ɛnna Miriam too saa dwom yi: “Monto dwom mma Awurade na wadi nkonim anuonyam mu. Wama ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefo amem po ase.”

And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

22 Afei, Mose dii Israelfo no anim ne wɔn tu fii Po Kɔkɔɔ no ho kɔɔ Sur sare so. Na wɔnantew sare no so nnansa a wɔannya nsu annom.

So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 Woduu Mara no, wɔantumi annom ɛhɔ nsu, efisɛ na ɛyɛ nwene. Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mara no; ase ne: Nweenwen.

And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

24 Enti nnipa no nwiinwii tiaa Mose sɛ, “Dɛn na yɛnnom?”

And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25 Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn, na Awurade kyerɛɛ no dubaa bi. Na ɔtow too nsu no mu, na ɛyɛɛ dɛ maa wotumi nomee. Mara hɔ na Awurade hyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa wɔn se,

And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

26 “Sɛ mubetie Awurade mo Nyankopɔn nne, na moayɛ osetie ayɛ ade trenee de a, ɔyare a mema ɛbɔɔ Misraimfo no, meremma bi mmɔ mo, efisɛ mene Awurade a mesa mo nyarewa.”

And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.

27 Wɔbaa Elim a ɛhɔ na na mmura dumien ne mmedua aduɔson wɔ, nti wosisii wɔn ntamadan, tenaa mmura no ho.

And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
