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 Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to Yahweh. They sang, “I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and its rider he has 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.
Yahweh is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 Awurade yɛ ɔkofo; ne din ne Awurade.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 Farao nteaseɛnam ne nʼakofo, watow wɔn agu po mu. Wɔamemem wɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ mu. Misraim akofo atitiriw awuwu asorɔkye ase.
He has thrown Pharaoh's chariots and army into the sea. Pharaoh's chosen officers were drowned in the Sea of Reeds.
5 Nsu akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem asubun mu sɛ ɔbo.
The depths covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Wo nsa nifa, Awurade, tumi ne anuonyam ahyɛ no ma; wo nsa nifa, Awurade, atetew atamfo mu pasaa.
Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power; your right hand, Yahweh, has shattered 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.
In great majesty you overthrew those who rose up against you. You sent out your wrath; it consumed them like stubble.
8 Wugu ahome a, nsu mu pae. Egyinaa sɛ afasu maa po taa fa ne fa.
By the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up; the flowing waters stood upright in a heap; the deep water was 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 share out the plunder; my desire will be satisfied on them; I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.'
10 Nanso Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa ma po kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subun no mu.
But you blew with your wind, and the sea covered them; they sank like 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 you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, honored in praises, doing miracles?
12 “Woteɛɛ wo nsa nifa na asase menee wɔn.
You reached out with your right hand, and 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.
In your covenant loyalty you have led the people you have rescued. In your strength you have led them to the holy place where you live.
14 Amanaman bɛte ama wɔn ho apopo. Ehu bɛka nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia.
The peoples will hear, and they will tremble; terror will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Edom mpanyimfo besuro. Atumfo a wɔwɔ Moab ho bɛwosow. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa bɛbɔ huboa.
Then the chiefs of Edom will fear; the soldiers of Moab will shake; all the inhabitants of Canaan will 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.
Terror and dread will fall on them. Because of your arm's power, they will become as still as a stone until your people pass by, Yahweh— until the people you have rescued pass by.
17 Wode wɔn bɛba abedua wɔn wɔ wo bepɔw so, wo ara wo fi hɔ, Awurade— Kronkronbea a woasiesie sɛ wo tenabea no.
You will bring them and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, that you have made to live in, the sanctuary, our Lord, that your hands have built.
18 “Awurade bedi hene akosi daa.”
Yahweh will reign forever 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 Pharaoh's horses went with his chariots and horsemen into the sea. Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them. But the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
20 Ɛhɔ na Odiyifobea Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabea faa akyene bi bɔ de dii mmea no anim ma wɔsawee.
Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron, picked up a tambourine, and all the women went out with tambourines, dancing along with her.
21 Ɛnna Miriam too saa dwom yi: “Monto dwom mma Awurade na wadi nkonim anuonyam mu. Wama ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefo amem po ase.”
Miriam sang to them: “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has 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.
Then Moses led Israel onward from the Sea of Reeds. They went out into the wilderness of Shur. They traveled for three days into 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.
Then they came to Marah, but they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. So they called that place Marah.
24 Enti nnipa no nwiinwii tiaa Mose sɛ, “Dɛn na yɛnnom?”
So the people complained to Moses and said, “What can 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,
Moses cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him a tree. Moses threw it into the water, and the water became sweet to drink. It was there that Yahweh gave them a strict law, and it was there that he tested 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.”
He said, “If you carefully listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and do what is right in his eyes, and if you give ear to his commands and obey all his laws—I will put on you none of the diseases that I put on the Egyptians, for I am Yahweh who heals you.”
27 Wɔbaa Elim a ɛhɔ na na mmura dumien ne mmedua aduɔson wɔ, nti wosisii wɔn ntamadan, tenaa mmura no ho.
Then the people came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They camped there by the water.
