Egzòd 14
1 Bondye pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 -Pale ak pèp Izrayèl la, di yo: Tounen dèyè, moute tant nou devan Pyakiròt, ant Migdòl ak lanmè a, anfas Baalsefon. N'a moute tant nou devan kote sa a, bò lanmè a.
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea: before Baal-Zephon, opposite to it, shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 Farawon an pral mete nan tèt li pèp Izrayèl la pèdi nan peyi a, yo pa konn kote pou yo fè nan dezè a.
And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has hemmed them in.
4 M'ap fè farawon an fè tèt di ankò, l'a rapouswiv nou. Men, m'ap bat ni farawon an ni tout lame li yo. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen. Konsa, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè jan Bondye te di yo a.
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he may pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh, and in all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so.
5 Farawon an, wa Lejip la, resevwa rapò. Yo vin di l' pèp la sove ale. Lè sa a, farawon an ak moun pa l' yo chanje lide. Yo di: -Sa nou fè la a? Nou kite yo ale? Yo sove kite travay yo t'ap fè pou nou an?
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his bondmen was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from our service?
6 Farawon an fè pare cha lagè li. Li pran sòlda li yo ak li.
And he yoked his chariot, and took his people with him.
7 Li pran sisan (600) cha nan sa ki te pi bon yo. Tout lòt cha yo te ale tou. Yo tout te gen sòlda ame sou yo.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 Seyè a te fèmen kè farawon an, wa Lejip la. Farawon an pran rapouswiv moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te soti kite peyi a devan je tout moun san pesonn pa t' di yo anyen.
And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel had gone out with a high hand.
9 Men apre sa, moun peyi Lejip yo pran kouri dèyè yo ak tout chwal yo, tout cha lagè farawon yo, tout kavalye yo. Tout lame yo te dèyè pèp Izrayèl la. Yo jwenn yo kote yo te moute tant yo a, bò lanmè a, toupre Pyakiròt anfas Baalsefon.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, — all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them where they had encamped by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, opposite to Baal-Zephon.
10 Antan farawon an t'ap pwoche, moun Izrayèl yo leve je yo, yo wè moun peyi Lejip yo ki t'ap rapouswiv yo. Yo te pè anpil. Yo pran rele nan pye Seyè a.
And Pharaoh approached; and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and the children of Israel were much afraid, and cried out to Jehovah.
11 Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Eske se paske pa gen kote pou antere moun nan peyi Lejip la kifè ou mennen nou vin mouri isit la nan dezè a? Kisa ou fè nou konsa lè ou te fè nou soti kite Lejip la?
And they said to Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? why hast thou done this to us, that thou hast led us out of Egypt?
12 Eske nou pa t' di ou sa lè nou te Lejip toujou? Nou te di ou: Kite nou travay pou moun peyi Lejip yo, pa vre! Pito nou travay pou moun peyi Lejip yo pase pou nou mouri nan dezè a.
Is not this what we told thee in Egypt, when we said, Let us alone, and we will serve the Egyptians? For [it had been] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.
13 Moyiz reponn pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Pran kouraj. Louvri je nou pou nou wè jan Seyè a pral delivre nou jòdi a. Moun peyi Lejip sa yo nou wè jòdi a, nou p'ap janm wè yo ankò.
And Moses said to the people, Fear not: stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 Seyè a ap goumen pou nou. Nou menm, poze san nou.
Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall be still.
15 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Poukisa w'ap rele konsa nan zòrèy mwen? Di moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo leve mache.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Why dost thou cry unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 Ou menm, leve baton ou lan. Lonje men ou sou lanmè a, fann li de bò. Konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mache nan mitan lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk.
And thou, lift thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
17 M'ap fè moun peyi Lejip yo fè tèt di pi rèd. Y'ap antre dèyè moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan mitan lanmè a. Mwen pral bat farawon an ansanm ak tout lame l' a, tout cha li yo ak tout kavalye l' yo. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen.
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh and in all his host, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
18 Lè m'a bat farawon an ansanm ak tout cha li yo ak kavalye li yo, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have glorified myself in Pharaoh, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
19 Zanj Bondye ki t'ap mache devan moun pèp Izrayèl yo chanje plas, li pase dèyè. Nwaj ki te devan yo a chanje plas tou, li pase dèyè yo.
And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before them, and stood behind them.
20 Li rete nan mitan ant moun peyi Lejip yo ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Nwaj la te tou nwa yon bò. Sou lòt bò a, li t'ap klere tout lannwit. Konsa, de lame yo pa t' ka pwoche yonn sou lòt pandan tout lannwit lan.
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and was a cloud and darkness, and lit up the night; and the one did not come near the other all the night.
21 Moyiz lonje men l' sou lanmè a. Seyè a fè yon gwo van nòde soufle byen fò pandan tout lannwit lan sou lanmè a. Li fè fon lanmè a tounen tè sèk, dlo a fann de bò.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah made the sea go [back] by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
22 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo antre sou tè sèk la, nan mitan lanmè a. Dlo a te kanpe de bò tankou yon miray sou bò dwat yo ak sou bò gòch yo.
And the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry [ground]; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Moun peyi Lejip yo pran rapouswiv yo. Yo antre dèyè yo nan mitan lanmè a ak tout chwal farawon yo, tout cha li yo ak tout kavalye l' yo.
And the Egyptians pursued and came after them — all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
24 Lè devanjou rive, Seyè a rete nan dife a ak nan nwaj la, li voye je l' sou lame peyi Lejip la, li lage yon sèl dezòd nan mitan yo.
And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked upon the camp of the Egyptians, in the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and embarrassed the camp of the Egyptians.
25 Li bloke wou cha yo. Sa te difisil anpil pou cha yo te vanse. Lè sa a, moun peyi Lejip yo di konsa: -Ann kouri kite moun Izrayèl yo an repo. Paske, Seyè a ap goumen pou yo kont nou.
And he took off their chariot wheels, and caused them to drive with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee before Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians!
26 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Lonje men ou sou lanmè a ankò. Dlo a ap tounen nan plas li, l'ap kouvri moun peyi Lejip yo ansanm ak tout cha yo ak kavalye yo.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.
27 Se konsa, lè jou pral kase, Moyiz lonje men l' sou lanmè a, dlo a tounen nan plas li. Lè moun peyi Lejip yo wè dlo a ap vini sou yo, yo t'ap chache sove poul yo. Yo pran kouri. Men, Seyè a voye yo jete nan lanmè a.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.
28 Dlo a tounen nan plas li, li kouvri cha yo, kavalye yo ak tout lame farawon an. Wi, li kouvri tout moun ki t'ap kouri dèyè moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan lanmè a. Pa gen yonn ki chape.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them; there remained not even one of them.
29 Men, moun Izrayèl yo menm te mache nan mitan lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk. Dlo a te kanpe tankou yon miray sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch yo.
And the children of Israel walked on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Sè jou sa a Seyè a te delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men moun peyi Lejip yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te wè kadav moun peyi Lejip yo sou tout bò lanmè a.
Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore.
31 Yo wè sa Seyè a te fè moun peyi Lejip yo pase ak fòs ponyèt pa li. Pèp Izrayèl la vin gen krentif pou Seyè a. Yo mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a ak nan Moyiz, sèvitè l' la.
And Israel saw the great power [with] which Jehovah had wrought against the Egyptians; and the people feared Jehovah, and believed in Jehovah, and in Moses his bondman.
