Exodus 14
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
2 “Tell the Israeli people to turn around and go back and set up their tents in front of Pi-Hahiroth [town]. That town is between Migdol and the sea, across from Baal-Zephon [town]. Set up your tents there, close to the sea.
“Fahk nu sin mwet Israel elos in folokla ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos fototo nu Pi Hahiroth, su oan inmasrlon Migdol ac Meoa Srusra, ac apkuran nu Baal Zephon.
3 When the king [knows you have done that], he will think, ‘The Israeli people are confused. They are wandering around, and the desert blocks their path.’
Tokosra Egypt el ac nunku mu mwet Israel elos tuhlac putakusa, ac yen mwesis uh sruokolosi elos tia ku in sun acn elos fahsr nu we.
4 But I will make the king stubborn [again], and he will [take his army and] pursue you. Then my people will praise/thank me for winning a victory over the king and his army. And the Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” So [Moses/I told my people that, and] they did what he/I told them to do.
Nga ac sifilpa akupaye nankal tokosra, ac el ac fah ukwe kowos. Kutangla luk nu sel tokosra ac un mwet mweun lal uh fah oru mwet uh in akfulatyeyu. Na mwet Egypt fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.” Mwet Israel elos oru oana ma sapkinyuk nu selos.
5 When someone told the king that the Israeli people had left [during the night], he and his officials changed their minds and said, “(What have we done?/What we have done was stupid!) [RHQ] The Israeli people will no longer be our slaves!”
Ke fwackyang nu sin tokosra lun Egypt lah mwet uh kaingla, el ac mwet fulat lal aolla nunak lalos ac fahk, “Mea se kut oru ah, ku kut fuhlela mwet Israel in kaingla, ac inge wangin mwet kohs in orekma nu sesr!”
6 So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
Tokosra el sap in akoeyukla chariot in mweun okoal, ac un mwet mweun lal in wi pac akola.
7 Then he selected 600 of the best chariots, and in each chariot he placed a driver, a soldier, and a commander, and they left. Other chariots, with a driver and a soldier in each of them, also went along.
El mukuiyak ke chariot onfoko ma arulana wo, wi pac chariot nukewa saya, ac oasr captain fin chariot inge nukewa.
8 Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el ukwe mwet Israel su pulaik in fahsr ye koko lun LEUM GOD.
9 the Egyptian army, with all the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen, pursued the Israelis. They caught up with them as they were camped near the sea, close to Pi-Hahiroth, in front of Baal-Zephon [town].
Un mwet mweun lun Egypt, wi horse ac chariot nukewa ac mwet kasrusr fac, elos ukwala mwet Israel ac sonolos yen elos aktuktuk we sisken Meoa Srusra, apkuran nu Pi Hahiroth ac Baal Zephon.
10 When the king’s army got near, the Israeli people were surprised to see that the Egyptians were marching toward them. They were terrified; so they cried out to Yahweh [to help them].
Ke mwet Israel liyauk lah tokosra Egypt ac un mwet mweun lal takla tuku in lainulos, elos tuninfongla ac wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.
11 Then they said to Moses/me, “Is it because there were no places in Egypt [where we could] be buried that you have brought us here to die in this desert [RHQ]? Look what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt [RHQ]!
Elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Ya wangin kulyuk in acn Egypt, pa kom uskutme nu yen mwesis kut in misa we? Efu kom ku oru ouinge nu sesr ac uskutme liki acn Egypt?
12 That is what we told you when we were in Egypt! We said, ‘Leave us alone, and let us work for the Egyptians [RHQ]!’ It would have been better for us to be slaves for the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!”
Ya kut tuh tia fahk nu sum meet liki kut mukuiyak ah lah ma inge ac mau sikyak? Kut tuh fahk kom in tia nunku kacsr — mansis kut in mwet kohs na nu sin mwet Egypt. Ac wona kut in mwet kohs we liki na in misa inge yen mwesis uh.”
13 Moses/I replied to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be brave, and see how Yahweh will rescue you! He will save you today, and the result will be that the Egyptians that you are looking at today—you will never see them again!
Moses el topuk, “Nikmet sangeng! Tu na ku, ac kowos fah liye ma LEUM GOD El ac fah oru in molikowos misenge. Kowos fah tia sifilpa liye mwet Egypt inge.
14 Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
LEUM GOD El ac aol kowos in mweun, ac wanginna ma kowos ac enenu in oru.”
15 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the people to stop crying out for me [to help them], and tell them to go forward. Lift up your stick and stretch it out toward the sea. The water will divide, so that all you Israeli people can go in the middle of the sea, walking on dry ground.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Efu kom ku kwafe nu sik nga in kasrekowos? Fahk nu sin mwet uh in fahsr nu meet.
Kolak sikal lom ac asroela nu fin meoa. Kof uh ac fah fahsrelik, ac mwet Israel fah ku in fahsr sasla in meoa fin acn pao.
17 I will make the Egyptians stubborn, so that they will try to follow you. And then as a result of [what I will do to the] king and his army and his chariots and his horsemen, [my people] will praise/thank me.
Nga fah akupaye nankan mwet Egypt tuh elos in ukwekowoswot, ac Inek ac fah pwengpeng ke kutangla luk facl tokosra ac un mwet mweun lal, wi chariot ac mwet kasrusr fac kewa.
18 And when I have won a glorious [victory] over the king and his chariots and his horsemen, the [other] Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Pacl se nga ac kutangulosla, mwet Egypt fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
19 Then the angel of God, who had been in front of the Israeli people, moved and went behind them. The tall bright cloud that had been in front of them also moved behind them,
Lipufan lun God, su nuna fahsr meet liki un mwet mweun lun Israel, el somla ac fahsr tokolos. Sru in pukunyeng sac mukuila nu
20 until it was between the Egyptian army and the Israeli people. The cloud caused the Egyptian army to be in the dark but it gave light for the Israelis. As a result, neither group could come near the other group during the whole night.
inmasrlon mwet Egypt ac mwet Israel. Pukunyeng sac oru lohsr nu sin mwet Egypt, a sang kalem nu sin mwet Israel, pwanang u lulap luo inge koflana apkuraneni nu sie fong nufon se.
21 [That evening], Moses/I stretched out his/my hand toward the sea. Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the east. It blew all night and pushed the water apart, and it caused the ground between the water to dry up.
Moses el asroela paol nu fin meoa, ac LEUM GOD El oru tuh sie eng upa kutulap me in akfahsryelik kof uh. Eng sac tuh ke fong fon se, ac ekulla meoa uh nu ke acn pao. Kof uh fahsrelik
22 Then we Israeli people went on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The water was like a wall on each side of us, on the right side and on the left side.
ac mwet Israel fahsr sasla meoa fin acn pao, ac kof uh tuyak lac lac, sinkaeak acn elos fahsr we.
23 Then the Egyptian army pursued them, and went after them into the middle of the sea, with their horses and their chariots and the chariot-drivers.
Mwet Egypt ukwalos ac alfokfoklana tokolos nu in meoa uh, wi horse ac chariot nukewa, ac elos su kasrusr fac.
24 Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
Meet liki na kusrun len sikyak, LEUM GOD El ngeti liki sru in e ac pukunyeng sac nu fin un mwet mweun lun Egypt, ac oru elos arulana sangeng ac fohsak.
25 He caused the wheels of the chariots to get stuck [in the mud], so that they could hardly move. So the Egyptians said, “Yahweh is fighting for the Israelis and against us; let’s get out of here!”
El oru tuh wheel in chariot okoalos in fulfuli, pwanang upa na elos in kasrusr. Mwet Egypt fahk, “Kut kaingla! LEUM GOD El mweun ke mwet Israel lain kut.”
26 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Stretch out your arm toward the sea again. Then the water will come back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Asroela poum nu fin meoa, na kof uh fah folokeni nu fin mwet Egypt ac chariot okoalos ac mwet su muta fac.”
27 So Moses/I stretched out his/my arm, and as the sun was rising, the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape, but Yahweh hurled them back into the sea.
Ouinge Moses el asroela paol nu fin meoa uh, ac ke lenelik kof uh folokeni in oana meet ah. Mwet Egypt elos srike in kaingla liki kof uh, tuh LEUM GOD El siselosyang nu in meoa uh.
28 The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and the whole Egyptian army that had tried to follow us Israelis into the sea. Every one of the Egyptians drowned.
Kof uh folokeni ac afunla chariot, mwet us horse uh, ac un mwet mweun lun Egypt su ukwe mwet Israel nu in meoa uh. Wangin sie selos moul.
29 But we Israeli people had already crossed through the sea by walking on dry ground, with the water being [like two] walls, one on the right side and one on the left side.
A mwet Israel fahsr sasla in meoa fin acn pao, ac kof uh tuyak lac lac sinkaeak acn elos fahsr we.
30 That is the way Yahweh saved the Israeli people from the Egyptian army on that day. The Israeli people saw the Egyptians lying dead, [with their bodies washed up] on the shore.
LEUM GOD El molela mwet Israel liki mwet Egypt ke len sac, ac mwet Israel elos liye ke elos alapelik oan misa wekof uh.
31 The Israelis saw what Yahweh did to the Egyptians by his great power [MTY], and they were in awe of Yahweh. They trusted in Yahweh and they also trusted Moses/me.
Ke mwet Israel liye lah yoklana ku su LEUM GOD El oru in sang kutangla mwet Egypt, elos tu na in oela sin LEUM GOD, ac elos lulalfongi LEUM GOD, ac oayapa Moses mwet kulansap lal.
