Exodus 14
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
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.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔmmane mfa Pihahirot a ɛwɔ Migdol ne ɛpo no ntam na ɛne Baal-Sefon di nhwɛanimu no. Sɛ wɔduru hɔ a, wɔnsi wɔn ntomadan wɔ mpoano hɔ.
3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, Farao bɛsusu sɛ, ‘Saa Israelfoɔ no aka ɛserɛ no ne ɛpo no ntam.’
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.
Na mɛsane mapirim Farao akoma bio ama wataa mo. Mayɛ saa nhyehyɛeɛ yi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma manya animuonyam ne anidie wɔ Farao ne nʼasraafoɔ mu na ama Misraimfoɔ no nso ahunu sɛ, mene Awurade no.” Enti, wɔsii ntomadan wɔ baabi a wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn hɔ no.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Nnansa akyi a Misraimhene no tee sɛ Israelfoɔ no abɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔrensane mma Misraim bio na mmom kɔ ara na wɔrekɔ no, Farao ne nʼahokafoɔ akoma sɔree bio. Wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛayɛ yi a yɛama nkoa yi ɛkwan ama wɔkɔ?”
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
Enti, Farao faa ne teaseɛnam dii nʼasraafoɔ no anim taa wɔn.
7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
Ɔmaa Misraim apɔnkɔsotefoɔ dɔm a wɔn dodoɔ yɛ ahansia ne apɔnkɔ foforɔ bi a asraafoɔ tete wɔn so sram wɔn.
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 an high hand.
Farao taa Israelfoɔ no so, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔde Misraimfoɔ agyapadeɛ bebree kɔ.
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, before Baal-zephon.
Farao de nʼapɔnkɔdɔm nyinaa taa Israelfoɔ no so bɛtoo wɔn sɛ wɔasisi wɔn ntomadan wɔ Pihahirot mpoano wɔ Baal-Sefon anim.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
Ɛberɛ a Misraim asraafoɔ no rebɛn Israelfoɔ no, Israelfoɔ no hunuu wɔn firi akyiri sɛ wɔde mmirika reba enti wɔn akoma tuiɛ, na wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn.
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?
Ɛmaa wɔn ani beree Mose so bisaa no sɛ, “Wode yɛn aba ɛserɛ yi so sɛ yɛmmɛwuwu wɔ ha, ɛfiri sɛ, adamena nni Misraim a sɛ yɛwuwu a wɔbɛsie yɛn wɔ mu? Adɛn enti na womaa yɛtu firii Misraim?
12 Is not this the word that we spake 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.
Ɛberɛ a yɛwɔ nkoasom mu no, yɛanka ankyerɛ wo sɛ ma yɛmpɛ yɛn baabi ntena? Yɛkaeɛ sɛ yɛpɛ sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ nkoasom ase wɔ Misraim sene sɛ yɛbɛwuwu agu ɛserɛ so ha.”
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 today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Nanso, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Monnsuro. Monnyina pintinn na monhwɛ biribi. Na mobɛhunu anwanwakwan a Awurade nam so bɛgye mo afiri atamfoɔ nsam ɛnnɛ. Misraimfoɔ a mohunu wɔn seesei yi, morenhunu wɔn bio.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Awurade bɛko ama mo a monha mo ho koraa!”
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wosu frɛ me? Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no na wɔnkɔ wɔn anim.
16 And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
Fa wo poma no. Fa kyerɛ nsuo no so na ɛpo no mu bɛpae ama ɛkwan ada mu ma Israelfoɔ no afa asase wesee so.
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.
Mɛpirim Misraimfoɔ no akoma ama wɔaka mo so na di a mɛdi Farao ne ne dɔm so bɛma mo ahunu mʼanimuonyam.
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.
Na Misraimfoɔ nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ, mene Awurade.”
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them:
Afei, Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔdi Israelfoɔ anim no twee ne ho bɛdii Israelfoɔ no akyi. Na omununkum dum nso bɛdii Israelfoɔ no akyi.
20 and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one came not near the other all the night.
Ɛbɛtwaa Israelfoɔ no ne Misraimfoɔ no ntam. Na anadwo no, ɛdanee ogya maa esum tɔɔ Misraimfoɔ no so maa ne hann no kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan. Enti Misraimfoɔ no anhunu Israelfoɔ no akyiri kwan.
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.
Mose tenee ne nsa wɔ ɛpo no so, na anadwo no nyinaa Awurade de apueeɛ mframa denden maa ɛpo no sanee nʼakyiri ma asase no yɛɛ wesee.
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.
Enti Israelfoɔ no faa ɛpo ɛkwan a emu wesee no so. Na nsuo no yɛɛ afasuo wɔ benkum ne nifa maa wɔn.
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.
Afei, Misraimfoɔ no nso ne Farao apɔnkɔ, nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ tii wɔn kɔduruu ɛpo no mfimfini.
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.
Na anɔpahema no, Awurade de ogya ne mununkudum no too Misraim dɔm no so maa wɔn ho yeraa wɔn.
25 And he took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
Wɔn nteaseɛnam no nan tutuiɛ enti na wɔntumi nkɔ bio. Enti Misraimfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛnnwane mfiri Israelfoɔ anim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade reko ma wɔn na yɛn deɛ, ɔreko tia yɛn.”
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa wɔ ɛpo no so, na nsuo no nsane mmra Misraimfoɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ no so.”
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.
Mose yɛɛ saa, na adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, ɛpo no sane nʼakyi tenee sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ. Misraimfoɔ no pɛɛ sɛ wɔdwane, nanso Awurade maa nsuo no faa wɔn.
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.
Nsuo no kataa ɛkwan no ne nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ no nyinaa so. Farao asraafoɔ dodoɔ a wɔfaa ɛpo no mu taa Israelfoɔ no nso, anka ɔbaako koraa.
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.
Israelfoɔ no nante faa asase wesee a nsuo yɛ ɔfasuo wɔ benkum ne nifa no so.
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.
Saa ɛda no Awurade gyee Israelfoɔ firii Misraimfoɔ nsa mu. Na Israelfoɔ no hunuu Misraimfoɔ no sɛ wɔawuwu deda mpoano.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ hunuu tumi a Awurade ada no adie de atia Misraimfoɔ no, wɔsuroo Awurade, na wɔgyee Awurade ne nʼakoa Mose diiɛ.
