< Exodus 14 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔmman mfa Pihahirot a ɛwɔ Migdol ne po no ntam a ɛne Baal-Sefon di nhwɛanim no. Sɛ wodu hɔ a, wonsi wɔn ntamadan wɔ mpoano hɔ.
3 And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, Farao besusuw sɛ, ‘Saa Israelfo no aka sare no ne po no ntam.’
4 And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
Na mɛsan apirim Farao koma bio ama wataa mo. Mayɛ saa nhyehyɛe yi, sɛnea ɛbɛma manya anuonyam ne nidi wɔ Farao ne nʼasraafo mu na ama Misraimfo no nso ahu sɛ, mene Awurade no.” Enti wosii ntamadan wɔ faako a wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn hɔ no.
5 And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
Nnansa akyi a Misraimhene no tee sɛ Israelfo no abɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔrensan mma Misraim bio na mmom kɔ ara na wɔrekɔ no, Farao ne ne dɔm koma sɔree bio. Wobisae se, “Dɛn na yɛayɛ yi? Yɛama Israelfo no kwan ma wɔkɔ ama yɛahwere wɔn som!”
6 So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
Enti Farao faa ne teaseɛnam dii nʼasraafo no anim taa wɔn.
7 having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
Ɔmaa Misraim apɔnkɔsotefo dɔm a wɔn dodow yɛ ahansia ne apɔnkɔ foforo bi a asraafo tete wɔn so ka wɔn.
8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
Farao taa Israelfo no, efisɛ na wɔde Misraimfo agyapade bebree kɔ.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
Farao de nʼapɔnkɔdɔm nyinaa taa Israelfo no bɛtoo wɔn sɛ wɔasisi wɔn ntamadan wɔ Pihahirot mpoano wɔ Baal-Sefon anim.
10 And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
Bere a Farao asraafo no rebɛn no, Israelfo no huu wɔn sɛ wɔde mmirika reba enti wɔn koma tui, na wosu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn.
11 and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
Ɛmaa wɔn ani beree Mose so bisaa no se, “Wode yɛn aba sare yi so sɛ yemmewuwu wɔ ha, efisɛ nna nni Misraim a sɛ yewuwu a wobesie yɛn wɔ mu ana? Adɛn nti na woma yetu fii Misraim?
12 Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
Bere a yɛwɔ nkoasom mu no, yɛanka ankyerɛ wo se ma yɛmpɛ yɛn baabi ntena? Yɛkae se yɛpɛ sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ nkoasom ase wɔ Misraim sen sɛ yebewu agu sare so ha.”
13 And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
Nanso Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Munnsuro. Munnyina pintinn na mubehu anwonwakwan a Awurade nam so begye mo nnɛ. Misraimfo a muhu wɔn nnɛ yi, morenhu wɔn bio.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
Awurade bɛko ama mo; montɛm dinn kɛkɛ!”
15 and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Adɛn nti na wusu frɛ me? Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no na wɔnkɔ wɔn anim.
16 And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
Fa wo pema no. Fa kyerɛ nsu no so na po no mu bɛpae ama ɔkwan ada mu ma Israelfo no afa asase wosee so.
17 And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
Mepirim Misraimfo no koma ama wɔataa mo na di a medi Farao ne ne dɔm so no bɛma moahu mʼanuonyam.
18 And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
Na Misraimfo nyinaa behu sɛ, mene Awurade.”
19 And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
Onyankopɔn bɔfo a odi Israelfo anim no twee ne ho bedii Israelfo no akyi. Na omununkum dum no nso bedii Israelfo no akyi.
20 And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
Ebetwaa Israelfo no ne Misraimfo no ntam. Na anadwo no, ɛdan ogya maa sum tɔɔ Misraimfo no so maa ne hann no kyerɛɛ Israelfo no kwan. Enti Misraimfo no anhu Israelfo no akyi kwan.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
Mose teɛɛ ne nsa wɔ po no so, na anadwo no nyinaa Awurade de apuei mframa dennen maa po no san nʼakyi maa asase no yɛɛ wosee.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
Enti Israelfo no faa po kwan a mu wosee no so. Na nsu no yɛɛ afasu wɔ benkum ne nifa maa wɔn.
23 And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
Misraimfo no nso ne Farao apɔnkɔ, nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no tiw wɔn koduu po no mfimfini.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
Na anɔpahema no, Awurade de ogya ne omununkum dum no too Misraimdɔm no so maa wɔn ho yeraw wɔn.
25 and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
Wɔn nteaseɛnam no nan tutui, enti na wontumi nkɔ bio. Enti Misraimfo no kae se, “Momma yenguan mfi Israelfo anim, efisɛ Awurade reko ama wɔn na yɛn de, ɔreko atia yɛn.”
26 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa wɔ po no so, na nsu no nsan mmra Misraimfo ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no so.”
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Mose yɛɛ saa, na ade kyee anɔpa no, po no san nʼakyi bɛsen sɛnea na ɛte. Misraimfo no pɛɛ sɛ woguan, nanso Awurade maa nsu no faa wɔn.
28 and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
Nsu no kataa kwan no ne nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo no nyinaa so. Farao asraafo dodow a wɔfaa po no mu taa Israelfo no nso, anka ɔbaako koraa.
29 But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
Israelfo no nantew faa asase wosee a nsu yɛ ɔfasu wɔ benkum ne nifa no so.
30 So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
Saa da no Awurade gyee Israelfo fii Misraimfo nsam. Na Israelfo no huu Misraimfo no sɛ wɔawuwu deda mpoano.
31 And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
Bere a Israelfo huu tumi a Awurade ada no adi de atia Misraimfo no, wosuroo Awurade, na wogyee Awurade ne nʼakoa Mose dii.
