Exodus 14
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
“Uza Aisraeli abwerere ndi kukagona pafupi ndi Pihahiroti, pakati pa Migidoli ndi nyanja. Inu mumange zithando mʼmbali mwa nyanja moyangʼanana ndi Baala-Zefoni.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
Farao adzaganiza kuti ‘Aisraeli asokonezeka nʼkumangozungulirazungulira mu dzikomo, chipululu chitawazinga.’
4 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” They did so.
Ndidzawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo adzathamangira Aisraeliwo. Choncho ndikadzagonjetsa Farao ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, Ine ndidzalemekezedwa.” Choncho Aisraeli aja anachita zimenezi.
5 The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
Farao, mfumu ya Igupto atamva kuti anthu aja athawa, iye pamodzi ndi nduna zake anasintha maganizo awo pa Israeli ndipo anati, “Ife tachita chiyani? Tawalola Aisraeli kuti apite ndi kuleka kutitumikira?”
6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
Choncho anakonzetsa galeta lake ndipo ananyamuka pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake.
7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
Iye anatenga magaleta 600 abwino kwambiri pamodzi ndi magaleta ena a dziko la Igupto. Anatenganso akuluakulu onse ankhondo.
8 The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao mfumu ya dziko la Igupto, kotero iye anawathamangira Aisraeli amene ankachoka mʼdzikomo mosavutika.
9 The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Aigupto aja (kutanthauza akavalo ndi magaleta onse a Farao, okwera akavalowo pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo) analondola Aisraeli aja ndipo anakawapeza pamalo pamene anamanga zithando paja, mʼmbali mwa nyanja, pafupi ndi Pihahiroti, moyangʼanana ndi Baala-Zefoni.
10 When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
Tsono Farao anayandikira. Ndipo Aisraeli ataona kuti Aigupto akuwatsatira, anachita mantha aakulu ndipo anafuwula kwa Yehova.
11 They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
Iwo anafunsa Mose kuti, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chakuti kunalibe manda ku dziko la Igupto kuti iwe utibweretse muno mʼchipululu kuti tidzafe? Chimene watichitachi nʼchiyani, kutitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto?
12 Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
Kodi sindizo zimene tinakuwuza mʼdziko la Igupto? Ife tinati, ‘Tileke titumikire Aigupto?’ Zikanatikomera kutumikira Aigupto kulekana ndi kufa mʼchipululu muno.”
13 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
Mose anayankha anthu kuti, “Musachite mantha. Imani, ndipo muone chipulumutso chimene Yehova akuchitireni lero. Aigupto amene mukuwaona lerowa simudzawaonanso.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
Yehova adzakumenyerani nkhondo. Inu mungokhala chete.”
15 The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Chifukwa chiyani ukufuwulira kwa ine? Uwuze Aisraeli aziyenda.
16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
Nyamula ndodo yako ndi kutambasula dzanja lako kuloza ku nyanja, kugawa madzi kuti Aisraeli awoloke powuma.
17 Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
Ine ndidzawumitsa mitima ya Aigupto kotero kuti adzatsatirabe Aisraeli. Ndipo ine ndikadzagonjetsa Farao ndi asilikali ake onse ankhondo, okwera magaleta ndi akavalo, ndidzapeza ulemerero.
18 The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
Aigupto adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova akadzaona mmene ndipambanire Farao ndi magaleta ndi owayendetsa ake.”
19 The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
Ndipo mngelo wa Mulungu amene amayenda patsogolo pa gulu lankhondo la Israeli anachoka ndi kupita kumbuyo kwawo. Chipilala cha mtambo chinasunthanso kuchoka kutsogolo ndi kupita kumbuyo kwawo.
20 It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
Choncho mtambowo unakhala pakati pa asilikali ankhondo a dziko la Igupto ndi a dziko la Israeli. Choncho panali mdima motero kuti magulu awiri ankhondowa sanathe kuyandikizana usiku wonse.
21 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Kenaka Mose anatambalitsa dzanja lake pa nyanja, ndipo Yehova pogwiritsa ntchito mphepo yamphamvu ya kummawa imene inawomba usiku wonse anabweza madzi ndi kuwumitsa nyanja ija. Choncho nyanja ija inagawanika.
22 The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Ndipo Aisraeli anawoloka pakati pa nyanja powuma, madzi atasanduka khoma kumanja ndi kumanzere kwawo.
23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Aigupto onse, Farao, ndi onse okwera pa magaleta ndi akavalo anawalondola ndipo analowa mʼmadzi.
24 In the morning watch, the LORD looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
Kutatsala pangʼono kucha, Yehova ali mu chipilala chamoto ndi chamtambo, anayangʼana asilikali ankhondo a Igupto ndipo anabweretsa chisokonezo pakati pawo.
25 He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians!”
Yehova anamanga matayala a magaleta kotero kuti ankavutika kuyenda. Ndipo Aigupto anati, “Tiyeni tiwathawe Aisraeli! Yehova akuwamenyera nkhondo kulimbana nafe.”
26 The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambasula dzanja lako pa nyanja kuti madzi amize Aigupto ndi magaleta awo ndi okwera pa akavalo.”
27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. The LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
Mose anatambasula dzanja lake pa nyanja, ndipo mmene kumacha nyanja inabwerera mʼmalo mwake. Aigupto pothawa anakumana nayo, ndipo Yehova anawakokera mʼnyanja momwemo.
28 The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
Madzi anabwerera ndi kumiza magaleta ndi okwera akavalo, asilikali ankhondo onse amene anatsatira Aisraeli mʼnyanja, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anapulumuka.
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Koma Aisraeli aja anawoloka nyanja pansi pali powuma, madzi atachita khoma kumanja ndi kumanzere kwawo.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Tsiku limeneli Yehova anapulumutsa Israeli mʼmanja mwa Aigupto ndipo Israeli anaona Aigupto ali lambalamba mʼmbali mwa nyanja atafa
31 Israel saw the great work which the LORD did to the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
Choncho Aisraeli anaona dzanja lamphamvu la Yehova limene linagonjetsa Aigupto aja, ndipo iwo anaopa Yehova ndi kumukhulupirira pamodzi ndi mtumiki wake Mose.
