Exodus 15

1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord: and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath thrown 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 is become salvation to me: he is my God and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I will 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 as a man of war, Almighty is his name.

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

4 Pharao’s chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his chosen captains are drowned 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 depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone.

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

6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain 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 they glory thou hast put down thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath 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 with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depth were gathered together in 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, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay them.

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 Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in 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 to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders?

‌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 Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them.

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

13 In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy habitation.

“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 Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.

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

15 Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.

‌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, in the greatness of thy arm: let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.

‌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 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

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 shall reign for ever and ever.

‌ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.”

19 For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.

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 So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and with dances:

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 began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath 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 And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through the wilderness, and 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 came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of Mara, because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable to the place, calling it Mara, 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 But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,

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 thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy 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 And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by 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.
