< Exodus 14 >

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehēange,
2 Speake to the children of Israel, that they returne and campe before Pi-hahiroth, betweene Migdol and the Sea, ouer against Baal-zephon: about it shall ye campe by the Sea.
“Tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau afe ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Piheloti ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Mikitoli mo e tahi, ʻo hanga tonu ki Peali-sefoni: mou ʻapitanga ʻi he feangai mo ia ʻo ofi ki tahi.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
Koeʻuhi ʻe lea ʻa Felo ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Kuo nau ʻefihia ʻi he fonua, kuo punusia ʻakinautolu ʻe he toafa.
4 And I will harden Pharaohs heart that hee shall follow after you: so I will get mee honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his hoste: the Egyptians also shall knowe that I am the Lord: and they did so.
Pea te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, koeʻuhi ke ne tuli ʻakinautolu; pea te u ongolelei ai ʻia Felo mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē; ke ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko Sihova au.” Pea naʻa nau fai ia.
5 Then it was told the King of Egypt, that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his seruants was turned against the people, and they sayde, Why haue we this done, and haue let Israel go out of our seruice?
Pea naʻe tala ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kuo hola ʻae kakai: pea naʻe kovi leva ʻae loto ʻo Felo, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kakai, pea nau pehē, “Ko e hā kuo tau fai ai ʻae meʻa ni, ke tuku ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu mei heʻenau tauhi ʻakitautolu?”
6 And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
Pea naʻa ne teuʻi leva ʻene saliote, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa hono kakai mo ia:
7 And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
Pea ne ʻave ʻae saliote fili ʻe onongeau, mo e ngaahi saliote kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite pea naʻe taki taha kotoa pē ʻa hono ʻeikitau.
8 (For the Lord had hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he followed after the children of Israel: but the children of Israel went out with an hie hand)
Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne tuli ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e nima māʻolunga.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and all the horses and charets of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his hoste ouertooke them camping by the Sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Ka naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, ko e fanga hoosi kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi saliote ʻo Felo, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi, mo ʻene tau, ʻonau maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ʻapitanga ʻo ofi ki tahi, ʻi he potu ʻo Piheloti, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Peali-sefoni.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nie, the children of Israel lift vp their eyes, and beholde, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were sore afrayde: wherefore the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord.
Pea ʻi he ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ʻa Felo, pea hanga hake ʻae mata ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea vakai, ʻoku tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite; naʻa nau manavahē lahi: pea tangi kalanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova.
11 And they sayde vnto Moses, Hast thou brought vs to die in the wildernes, because there were no graues in Egypt? wherefore hast thou serued vs thus, to carie vs out of Egypt?
Pea naʻa nau pehē kia Mōsese, ‘Naʻe ʻikai ha tanuʻanga ʻi ʻIsipite, ko ia kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu ke mate ʻi he toafa? Ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai kiate kimautolu, ke fetuku ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite?
12 Did not wee tell thee this thing in Egypt, saying, Let vs be in rest, that we may serue the Egyptians? for it had bene better for vs to serue the Egyptians, then that wee shoulde dye in the wildernesse.
‌ʻIkai ko e lea eni naʻa mau tala kiate koe ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, Tuku ai pe ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ke mau tauhi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite? He tā ne lelei lahi ʻemau tauhi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻemau mate ʻi he toafa.”
13 Then Moses sayde to the people, Feare ye not, stand still, and beholde the saluation of the Lord which he will shew to you this day. For the Egyptians, whome ye haue seene this day, ye shall neuer see them againe.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “ʻOua te mou manavahē, tuʻu fakalongolongo pe, ʻo mamata ki he fakamoʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia te ne fakahā kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni: he ko e kakai ʻIsipite kuo mou mamata ki ai he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki ai ʻo lauikuonga.
14 The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
‌ʻE tau ʻa Sihova maʻamoutolu, pea te mou fakalongo pe.”
15 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai kiate au? Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau ʻalu atu pe.
16 And lift thou vp thy rod, and stretche out thine hand vpon the Sea and deuide it, and let the children of Israel goe on drie ground thorow the middes of the Sea.
Ka ke hiki hake ho tokotoko, ʻo mafao atu ho nima ki tahi, ʻo fakavaeua ia: pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he kelekele mōmoa ʻi he loto tahi.
17 And I, beholde, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, that they may follow them, and I wil get me honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his host, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
Pea ko au, vakai, te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea te nau muimui ʻiate kinautolu; pea te u maʻu ʻae ongoongo ʻia Felo, pea mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.
18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue gotten me honour vpon Pharaoh, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko au ko Sihova, hili ʻae fakaongoongo au ʻia Felo, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.”
19 (And the Angel of God, which went before the hoste of Israel, remoued and went behinde them: also the pillar of the cloude went from before them, and stoode behinde them,
Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he fononga ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe hiki ʻo ʻalu kimui ʻiate kinautolu; pea ko e pou ʻoe ʻao naʻe hiki ia mei honau ʻao, ʻo tuʻu kimui ʻiate kinautolu:
20 And came betweene the campe of the Egyptians and the campe of Israel: it was both a cloude and darkenes, yet gaue it light by night, so that all the night long the one came not at the other)
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ʻo tuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite mo e kakai ʻIsileli; pea ko e ʻao ia mo e fakapoʻuli [kiate kinautolu ]na, ka naʻe fakamaama ia [kiate kinautolu ]ni: ko ia naʻe ʻikai hoko ai ʻae taha ki he taha ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hande vpon the Sea, and the Lord caused the sea to runne backe by a strong East winde all the night, and made the Sea dry land: for the waters were deuided.
Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese ki tahi; pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihova ke foki ʻae tahi ʻi he matangi mālohi mei hahake, ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae tahi ke mōmoa, pea naʻe vaeua ʻae ngaahi vai.
22 Then the children of Israel went through the middes of the Sea vpon the drie ground, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hand, and on their left hand.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mōmoa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he loto tahi: pea ko e ʻā kiate kinautolu ʻae vai ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e nima toʻohema.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
Pea tuli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, ʻonau ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻiate kinautolu ki loto tahi, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi hoosi kotoa pē ʻa Felo, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo e kau heka hoosi.
24 Nowe in the morning watche, when the Lord looked vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, out of the firie and cloudie pillar, he strooke the host of the Egyptians with feare.
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae lakanga leʻo pongipongi, naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki he kau tau ʻo ʻIsipite mei he pou ʻoe afi mo e ʻao, ʻo ne veuveuki ʻae tau ʻae kakai ʻIsipite,
25 For he tooke off their charet wheeles, and they draue them with much a doe: so that the Egyptians euery one sayd, I wil flee from the face of Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
‌ʻO ne toʻo ʻae vaʻe mei heʻenau ngaahi saliote; ko ia naʻe tohongataʻa ai: pea pehē ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, “Ke tau hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; he ʻoku tau maʻanautolu ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu ʻIsipite.”
26 Then the Lord sayde to Moses, Stretche thine hand vpon the Sea, that the waters may returne vpon the Egyptians, vpon their charets and vpon their horsemen.
Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ki tahi, koeʻuhi ke toe haʻu ʻae tahi ki he kakai ʻIsipite, pea ki heʻenau ngaahi saliote, pea mo e kau tangata heka hoosi.”
27 Then Moses stretched forth his hand vpon the Sea, and the Sea returned to his force early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it: but the Lord ouerthrew the Egyptians in the mids of the Sea.
Pea mafao atu ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese ki tahi, pea pongipongi ai, naʻe toe tau mai ʻae tahi ʻi heʻene mālohi; pea hola ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite; ka naʻe liaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi loto tahi.
28 So the water returned and couered the charets and the horsemen, euen all the hoste of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them: there remained not one of them.
Pea naʻe tau mai ʻae tahi, ʻo lōmakiʻi ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻa Felo, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi, pea mo e tau kotoa pē naʻe haʻu ki tahi ʻo tuli ʻakinautolu; naʻe ʻikai ke hao ha tokotaha.
29 But the children of Israel walked vpon dry land thorowe the middes of the Sea, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hande, and on their left.
Ka naʻe ʻalu pe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he mōmoa ʻi loto tahi: pea hangē ko e ʻā maka ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e toʻohema.
30 Thus the Lord saued Israel the same day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the Sea banke.
Naʻe pehē hono fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite; pea naʻe mamata ʻa ʻIsileli ki he kakai mate ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻi he matātahi.
31 And Israel saw the mightie power, which the Lord shewed vpon the Egyptians: so the people feared the Lord, and beleeued the Lord, and his seruant Moses.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ngāue lahi ko ia, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ki he kakai ʻIsipite; pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai kia Sihova, ʻo tui kia Sihova, mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.
