Exodus 15
1 Nígbà náà ni Mose àti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kọ orin yìí sí Olúwa, Èmi yóò kọrin sí Olúwa, nítorí òun pọ̀ ní ògo. Ẹṣin àti ẹni tí ó gùn ún ni ó ti sọ sínú Òkun.
Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
2 Olúwa ni agbára àti orin mi; òun ti di Olùgbàlà mi, òun ni Ọlọ́run mi, èmi ó yìn ín, Ọlọ́run baba mi, èmi ó gbé e ga.
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
3 Ológun ni Olúwa, Olúwa ni orúkọ rẹ,
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun Farao àti ogun rẹ̀ ni ó mú wọ inú Òkun. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun Farao tó jáfáfá jùlọ ni ó rì sínú Òkun Pupa.
He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
5 Ibú omi bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀; wọ́n sì rì sí ìsàlẹ̀ omi òkun bí òkúta.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 “Ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ, Olúwa, pọ̀ ní agbára. Ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ, Olúwa, fọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá túútúú.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 “Nínú agbára ńlá rẹ ti ó tóbi ìwọ bi àwọn ti ó dìde sí ọ ṣubú. Ìwọ rán ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ; tí ó run wọ́n bí àgémọ́lẹ̀ ìdí koríko.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 Pẹ̀lú èémí imú rẹ ni omi fi ń wọ́jọ pọ̀. Ìṣàn omi dìde dúró bí odi; ibú omi sì dìpọ̀ láàrín Òkun.
You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
9 Ọ̀tá ń gbéraga, ó ń wí pé, ‘Èmi ó lépa wọn, èmi ó bá wọn. èmi ó pín ìkógun; èmi ó tẹ́ ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ mi lọ́run lára wọn. Èmi yóò fa idà mi yọ, ọwọ́ mi yóò pa wọ́n run.’
[Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
10 Ìwọ fẹ́ èémí rẹ, òkun ru bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀. Wọ́n rì bí òjé ni àárín omi ńlá.
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 Ta ni nínú àwọn òrìṣà tó dàbí rẹ, Olúwa? Ta ló dàbí rẹ: ní títóbi, ní mímọ́ Ẹlẹ́rù ni yìn, tí ń ṣe ohun ìyanu?
Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
12 “Ìwọ na apá ọ̀tún rẹ, ilẹ̀ si gbé wọn mì.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 Nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ ti kì í sákí Ìwọ ṣe amọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn náà tí Ìwọ ti rà padà. Nínú agbára rẹ Ìwọ yóò tọ́ wọn, lọ sí ibi ìjókòó rẹ mímọ́.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò gbọ́ wọn yóò wárìrì. Ìkáàánú yóò mi àwọn ènìyàn Filistia.
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 Ìbẹ̀rù yóò mú àwọn ìjòyè Edomu, àwọn olórí Moabu yóò wárìrì. Àwọn ènìyàn Kenaani yóò sì yọ́ dànù.
The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
16 Ìbẹ̀rù bojo yóò ṣubú lù wọ́n, nítorí nína títóbi apá rẹ̀ wọn yóò dúró jẹ́ẹ́ láì mira bí i òkúta, títí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò fi rékọjá, Olúwa, títí tí àwọn ènìyàn tí o ti rà yóò fi rékọjá.
They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
17 Ìwọ yóò mú wọn wá láti gbìn wọ́n ni orí òkè ti ìwọ jogún, ní ibi ti ìwọ ṣe fún ara rẹ, Olúwa. Láti máa gbé ibi mímọ́ ti ìwọ fi ọwọ́ rẹ gbé kalẹ̀, Olúwa.
to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
18 “Olúwa yóò jẹ ọba láé àti láéláé.”
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 Nígbà ti ẹṣin Farao, kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ̀ wọ inú Òkun, Olúwa mú kí omi òkun padà bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rìn lórí ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ la òkun kọjá.
The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
20 Miriamu wòlíì obìnrin, arábìnrin Aaroni, mú ohun èlò orin ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn obìnrin sì jáde tẹ̀lé e pẹ̀lú ìlù òun ijó.
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
21 Miriamu kọrin sí wọn báyìí pé, “Ẹ kọrin sí Olúwa, nítorí òun ni ológo jùlọ. Ẹṣin àti ẹni tí ó gùn ún, ni òun bi ṣubú sínú Òkun.”
and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
22 Nígbà náà ni Mose ṣe amọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli jáde láti Òkun Pupa lọ sínú ijù Ṣuri. Wọ́n lọ ní ìrìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta sínú ijù náà, wọn kò sì rí omi.
Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
23 Nígbà tí wọ́n dé Mara, wọn kò lè mu omi Mara nítorí omi náà korò. (Nítorí náà ni a ṣe pe ibẹ̀ ni Mara: ibi ìkorò.)
So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 Àwọn ènìyàn ń kùn sí Mose wí pé, “Kí ni àwa yóò mu?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Mose sì ké pe Olúwa, Olúwa sì fi igi kan hàn án, ó sì sọ igi náà sínú omi, omi náà sì dùn. Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti gbé ìlànà àti òfin kalẹ̀ fún wọn, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì ti dán wọn wò.
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
26 Ó wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá fetísílẹ̀ dáradára sí òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run, ti ìwọ sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ni ojú rẹ̀, ti ìwọ sì tẹ̀lé ohun tí ó pàṣẹ, ti ìwọ si pa ìlànà rẹ̀ mọ́. Èmi kì yóò jẹ́ kí èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ààrùn wọ̀n-ọn-nì ti mo mú wá sórí àwọn ará Ejibiti wá sí ara rẹ, nítorí Èmi ni Olúwa ti ó mú ọ láradá.”
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
27 Nígbà ti wọ́n dé Elimu, níbi ti kànga omi méjìlá àti àádọ́rin ọ̀pẹ gbé wà, wọ́n pàgọ́ síbẹ̀ ni etí omi.
[After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
