Exodus 14
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 'Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon, over against it shall ye encamp by the sea.
« Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete bazonga mpe batonga molako pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti, kati ya Migidoli mpe ebale monene. Batonga yango etalana na Bala-Tsefoni pembeni ya ebale monene.
3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel: They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
Faraon akokanisa ete bana ya Isalaele babungi na mokili, esobe ekangi bango.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get Me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.' And they did so.
Nakokomisa motema ya Faraon libanga, mpe ye akolanda bango; kasi nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai, nakotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye; bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. » Bana ya Isalaele basalaki bongo.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned towards the people, and they said: 'What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Tango bayebisaki mokonzi ya Ejipito ete bana ya Isalaele bakimi, Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye babongolaki makanisi na bango mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe balobaki: « Likambo nini oyo tosali? Totiki Isalaele kokende mpe tozangeli bato oyo bakoki kosalela biso! »
6 And he made ready his chariots, and took his people with him.
Boye Faraon azwaki shar oyo ezalaki ya kobombama mpe azwaki mampinga na ye elongo na ye.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
Akamataki bashar nkama motoba oyo eleki malamu elongo na bashar nyonso ya Ejipito; shar moko na moko ezalaki na basoda misato.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
Yawe akomisaki motema ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, libanga mpo ete alanda bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kotambola na bonsomi nyonso.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
Bato ya Ejipito, bampunda nyonso ya Faraon mpe shar mosusu ya Faraon elongo na bato oyo batambolisaka yango mpe mampinga mosusu ya Faraon balandaki bana ya Isalaele mpe bazwaki bango tango batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti oyo etalana na Bala-Tsefoni.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
Lokola Faraon apusanaki, bana ya Isalaele batombolaki miso na bango mpe bamonaki ete bato ya Ejipito bazali kolanda bango na sima. Bana ya Isalaele babangaki makasi mpe bagangaki epai na Yawe.
11 And they said unto Moses: 'Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?
Balobaki na Moyize: — Boni, ezali mpo ete malita ezali te na Ejipito, yango wana omemi biso mpo ete tokufa na esobe? Osali biso nini awa obimisi biso na Ejipito?
12 Is not this the word that we spoke unto thee in Egypt, saying: Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.'
Toyebisaki yo te tango tozalaki na Ejipito: « Tika biso kimia, tika biso tosalela bato ya Ejipito? » Pamba te elekaki malamu mpo na biso kosalela bato ya Ejipito na esika ya kokufa na esobe.
13 And Moses said unto the people: 'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will work for you to-day; for whereas ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Bobanga te, boyika mpiko! Bokomona kokangolama oyo Yawe akomemela bino lelo; bato ya Ejipito oyo bozali komona lelo, bokotikala komona bango lisusu te.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.'
Yawe akobunda mpo na bino, mpe bino bovanda kimia.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Wherefore criest thou unto Me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mpo na nini ozali koganga boye epai na Ngai? Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete batambola.
16 And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
Kasi yo, tombola lingenda na yo, sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpe kabola mayi mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bakoka kokatisa ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will get Me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Bongo Ngai, nakoyeisa motema ya bato ya Ejipito libanga mpo ete balanda bino mpe nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye nyonso elongo na bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten Me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.'
Bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon, bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
19 And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
Anjelu na Nzambe oyo azalaki kotambola liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele azongaki sima na bango, mpe likonzi ya lipata elongwaki liboso na bango mpo ete etelema sima na bango.
20 and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness here, yet gave it light by night there; and the one came not near the other all the night.
Likonzi ya lipata etelemaki kati ya mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya bana ya Isalaele. Likonzi ya lipata epesaki molili na ngambo moko mpe engengisaki ngambo mosusu; yango wana butu mobimba, bato ya Ejipito bakokaki kopusana te pembeni ya bana ya Isalaele.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene; bongo na butu mobimba, Yawe atindaki na ebale monene mopepe makasi ya este oyo ekabolaki mayi ya ebale monene.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Bato ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Bato ya Ejipito balandaki bango mpe bango nyonso bakotaki kati na ebale monene: bampunda nyonso ya Faraon, bashar na ye mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the LORD looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians.
Liboso ete tongo etana, Yawe atelemaki na likolo ya likonzi ya moto mpe ya lipata, atalaki mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe akotisaki mobulu kati na yango.
25 And He took off their chariot wheels, and made them to drive heavily; so that the Egyptians said: 'Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.'
Alongolaki bapine na bashar na bango mpo ete bamona pasi mpo na kokumba. Boye bato ya Ejipito balobaki: — Tokima mosika ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te Yawe azali kobundela bango liboso na biso.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.'
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpo ete mayi ezonga mpe ekweyela bato ya Ejipito, bashar na bango mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene, mpe liboso ete tongo etana, ebale monene ezongaki na esika na yango mpe bato ya Ejipito oyo balukaki kokima, bakutanaki na mayi liboso na bango. Boye Yawe azindisaki bango kati na ebale monene.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them.
Mayi ezongaki mpe ezipaki bashar elongo na batambolisi ya bampunda mpe mampinga ya Faraon oyo elandaki bana ya Isalaele kati na ebale monene. Moko te kati na bango abikaki.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Kasi bana ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe abikisaki bana ya Isalaele liboso ya bato ya Ejipito mpe bana ya Isalaele bamonaki bibembe ya bato ya Ejipito etandami na libongo ya ebale monene.
31 And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD, and in His servant Moses.
Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki nguya monene oyo Yawe atalisaki liboso ya bato ya Ejipito, babangaki Yawe mpe batiaki elikya na bango kati na Ye mpe kati na mosali na Ye Moyize.
