Exodus 15

1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.

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.

2 The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.

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.

3 The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.

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

4 The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.

“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.

5 The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.

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

6 Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.

“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.

7 And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.

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.

8 And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.

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.

9 The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’

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.’

10 Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.

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.

11 Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?

‌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?

12 You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.

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

13 In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.

“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.

14 Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

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

15 Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.

‌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.

16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.

‌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:

17 You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.

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.

18 The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.

‌ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.”

19 For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”

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.

20 And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.

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.

21 And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”

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.”

22 Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.

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.

23 And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.

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.

24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”

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

25 So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,

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.

26 saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”

‌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.”

27 Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.

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.
