2 Mose 14
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔmmane mfa Pihahirot a ɛwɔ Migdol ne ɛpo no ntam na ɛne Baal-Sefon di nhwɛanimu no. Sɛ wɔduru hɔ a, wɔnsi wɔn ntomadan wɔ mpoano hɔ.
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-Zephon; over-against it ye do encamp by the sea,
3 Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, Farao bɛsusu sɛ, ‘Saa Israelfoɔ no aka ɛserɛ no ne ɛpo no ntam.’
and Pharaoh hath said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut upon them;
4 Na mɛsane mapirim Farao akoma bio ama wataa mo. Mayɛ saa nhyehyɛeɛ yi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma manya animuonyam ne anidie wɔ Farao ne nʼasraafoɔ mu na ama Misraimfoɔ no nso ahunu sɛ, mene Awurade no.” Enti, wɔsii ntomadan wɔ baabi a wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn hɔ no.
and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath pursued after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah;' and they do so.
5 Nnansa akyi a Misraimhene no tee sɛ Israelfoɔ no abɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔrensane mma Misraim bio na mmom kɔ ara na wɔrekɔ no, Farao ne nʼahokafoɔ akoma sɔree bio. Wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛayɛ yi a yɛama nkoa yi ɛkwan ama wɔkɔ?”
And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people hath fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, 'What [is] this we have done? that we have sent Israel away from our service.'
6 Enti, Farao faa ne teaseɛnam dii nʼasraafoɔ no anim taa wɔn.
And he harnesseth his chariot, and his people he hath taken with him,
7 Ɔmaa Misraim apɔnkɔsotefoɔ dɔm a wɔn dodoɔ yɛ ahansia ne apɔnkɔ foforɔ bi a asraafoɔ tete wɔn so sram wɔn.
and he taketh six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
8 Farao taa Israelfoɔ no so, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔde Misraimfoɔ agyapadeɛ bebree kɔ.
and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursueth after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand,
9 Farao de nʼapɔnkɔdɔm nyinaa taa Israelfoɔ no so bɛtoo wɔn sɛ wɔasisi wɔn ntomadan wɔ Pihahirot mpoano wɔ Baal-Sefon anim.
and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon.
10 Ɛberɛ a Misraim asraafoɔ no rebɛn Israelfoɔ no, Israelfoɔ no hunuu wɔn firi akyiri sɛ wɔde mmirika reba enti wɔn akoma tuiɛ, na wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn.
And Pharaoh hath drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and lo, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah.
11 Ɛmaa wɔn ani beree Mose so bisaa no sɛ, “Wode yɛn aba ɛserɛ yi so sɛ yɛmmɛwuwu wɔ ha, ɛfiri sɛ, adamena nni Misraim a sɛ yɛwuwu a wɔbɛsie yɛn wɔ mu? Adɛn enti na womaa yɛtu firii Misraim?
And they say unto Moses, 'Because there are no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in a wilderness? what is this thou hast done to us — to bring us out from Egypt?
12 Ɛberɛ a yɛwɔ nkoasom mu no, yɛanka ankyerɛ wo sɛ ma yɛmpɛ yɛn baabi ntena? Yɛkaeɛ sɛ yɛpɛ sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ nkoasom ase wɔ Misraim sene sɛ yɛbɛwuwu agu ɛserɛ so ha.”
Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?'
13 Nanso, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Monnsuro. Monnyina pintinn na monhwɛ biribi. Na mobɛhunu anwanwakwan a Awurade nam so bɛgye mo afiri atamfoɔ nsam ɛnnɛ. Misraimfoɔ a mohunu wɔn seesei yi, morenhunu wɔn bio.
And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, station yourselves, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He doth for you to-day; for, as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye add no more to see them — to the age;
14 Awurade bɛko ama mo a monha mo ho koraa!”
Jehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.'
15 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wosu frɛ me? Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no na wɔnkɔ wɔn anim.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'What? thou criest unto Me — speak unto the sons of Israel, and they journey;
16 Fa wo poma no. Fa kyerɛ nsuo no so na ɛpo no mu bɛpae ama ɛkwan ada mu ma Israelfoɔ no afa asase wesee so.
and thou, lift up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand towards the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
17 Mɛpirim Misraimfoɔ no akoma ama wɔaka mo so na di a mɛdi Farao ne ne dɔm so bɛma mo ahunu mʼanimuonyam.
'And I — lo, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, on his chariots, and on his horsemen;
18 Na Misraimfoɔ nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ, mene Awurade.”
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My being honoured on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.'
19 Afei, Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔdi Israelfoɔ anim no twee ne ho bɛdii Israelfoɔ no akyi. Na omununkum dum nso bɛdii Israelfoɔ no akyi.
And the messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeyeth and goeth at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeyeth from their front, and standeth at their rear,
20 Ɛbɛtwaa Israelfoɔ no ne Misraimfoɔ no ntam. Na anadwo no, ɛdanee ogya maa esum tɔɔ Misraimfoɔ no so maa ne hann no kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan. Enti Misraimfoɔ no anhunu Israelfoɔ no akyiri kwan.
and cometh in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlighteneth the night, and the one hath not drawn near unto the other all the night.
21 Mose tenee ne nsa wɔ ɛpo no so, na anadwo no nyinaa Awurade de apueeɛ mframa denden maa ɛpo no sanee nʼakyiri ma asase no yɛɛ wesee.
And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
22 Enti Israelfoɔ no faa ɛpo ɛkwan a emu wesee no so. Na nsuo no yɛɛ afasuo wɔ benkum ne nifa maa wɔn.
and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea, on dry land, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their right and on their left.
23 Afei, Misraimfoɔ no nso ne Farao apɔnkɔ, nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ tii wɔn kɔduruu ɛpo no mfimfini.
And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) unto the midst of the sea,
24 Na anɔpahema no, Awurade de ogya ne mununkudum no too Misraim dɔm no so maa wɔn ho yeraa wɔn.
and it cometh to pass, in the morning watch, that Jehovah looketh unto the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubleth the camp of the Egyptians,
25 Wɔn nteaseɛnam no nan tutuiɛ enti na wɔntumi nkɔ bio. Enti Misraimfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛnnwane mfiri Israelfoɔ anim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade reko ma wɔn na yɛn deɛ, ɔreko tia yɛn.”
and turneth aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, 'Let us flee from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians.'
26 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa wɔ ɛpo no so, na nsuo no nsane mmra Misraimfoɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ no so.”
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Stretch out thy hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.'
27 Mose yɛɛ saa, na adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, ɛpo no sane nʼakyi tenee sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ. Misraimfoɔ no pɛɛ sɛ wɔdwane, nanso Awurade maa nsuo no faa wɔn.
And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and the sea turneth back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and Jehovah shaketh off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,
28 Nsuo no kataa ɛkwan no ne nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ no nyinaa so. Farao asraafoɔ dodoɔ a wɔfaa ɛpo no mu taa Israelfoɔ no nso, anka ɔbaako koraa.
and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea — there hath not been left of them even one.
29 Israelfoɔ no nante faa asase wesee a nsuo yɛ ɔfasuo wɔ benkum ne nifa no so.
And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their right and on their left;
30 Saa ɛda no Awurade gyee Israelfoɔ firii Misraimfoɔ nsa mu. Na Israelfoɔ no hunuu Misraimfoɔ no sɛ wɔawuwu deda mpoano.
and Jehovah saveth Israel in that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel seeth the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore,
31 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ hunuu tumi a Awurade ada no adie de atia Misraimfoɔ no, wɔsuroo Awurade, na wɔgyee Awurade ne nʼakoa Mose diiɛ.
and Israel seeth the great hand with which Jehovah hath wrought against the Egyptians, and the people fear Jehovah, and remain stedfast in Jehovah, and in Moses His servant.
