Egzòd 15
1 Lè sa a, Moyiz ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo chante yon chante pou Seyè a. Men sa chante a di: -M'ap chante pou Seyè a, paske li genyen batay la. Li voye chwal yo ak tout kavalye yo jete nan lanmè.
Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.
2 Seyè a, se tout fòs mwen. Se pou li m'ap chante. Se li menm ki delivre m'. Se Bondye mwen li ye, m'ap fè lwanj li. Se Bondye zansèt mwen yo, m'ap di jan li gen pouvwa.
The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.
3 Seyè a, se yon vanyan sòlda. Se Seyè yo rele l'.
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
4 Li voye cha farawon yo ansanm ak tout lame l' a jete nan lanmè. Li fè pi bon sòlda li yo mouri neye nan lanmè Wouj la.
Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.
5 Lanm lanmè a kouvri yo. Yo fè fon tankou ròch.
They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.
6 Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou se kokenn zafè! Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou kraze lènmi an!
Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.
7 Jan ou gen anpil pouvwa sa a, Seyè! Ou kraze moun k'ap goumen avè ou yo. Ou fè yon sèl kòlè, ou boule yo tankou dife nan pay.
When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.
8 Nan kolè ou, ou soufle. Souf ou fè dlo a ranmase kò l'. Lanm yo kanpe dwat tankou yon miray. Dlo a vin di nan mitan lanmè a.
By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.
9 Lènmi an te di: M'ap kouri dèyè yo, m'ap pran yo. M'ap separe tout richès yo, m'ap pran tou sa m' vle. M'ap rale nepe mwen, avèk fòs ponyèt mwen, m'ap disparèt yo.
Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.
10 Ou annik fè yon ti van leve, lanmè a kouvri yo. Lanmè a te move, yo desann nan fon tankou plon.
You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.
11 Seyè, nan tout bondye yo, kilès ki tankou ou! Pouvwa ou fè yo respekte ou! Ou se Bondye ki apa nèt! Kilès ki tankou ou? Ou menm ki fè mirak, ou menm ki fè mèvèy pou fè moun pè! Kilès ki tankou ou?
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
12 Ou annik lonje men dwat ou, tè a vale yo tou vivan.
When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.
13 Paske ou gen bon kè, ou mennen pèp ou delivre a, avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou mennen yo nan peyi ki apa pou ou a.
In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.
14 Lòt pèp yo pran nouvèl sa ki pase, yo pran tranble tèlman yo pè. Yon sèl vant fè mal pran moun Filisti yo.
Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.
15 Ata chèf peyi Edon yo te pè anpil. Vanyan gason peyi Moab yo pran tranble. Tout moun nan peyi Kanaran pèdi kouraj.
The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.
16 Yon sèl kè kase, yon sèl sezisman pran yo. Avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou fè yo rete rèd san yo pa kapab fè anyen. Ou fè yo rete konsa jouk pèp ou a fin pase, Seyè, wi, jouk pèp ou delivre a fin pase!
Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.
17 Wa mennen yo, w'a plante yo sou mòn ki pou ou a, Seyè, sou mòn kote ou pare pou kay ou a, kay ou bati pou ou a, Seyè.
You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.
18 Seyè a ap gouvènen pou tout tan.
The Lord is King for ever and ever.
19 Chwal farawon yo ansanm ak tout cha ak kavalye yo te tonbe nan lanmè. Seyè a fè dlo a tounen nan plas li. Dlo a kouvri yo tout. Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm te mache nan fon lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk.
For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.
20 Miryam, sè Arawon an, te yon pwofèt. Li pran yon tanbouren nan men l', tout medam yo t'ap mache dèyè l', yo t'ap bat tanbouren, yo t'ap danse.
And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.
21 Miryam t'ap chante pou yo, li t'ap di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Annou chante pou Seyè a! Paske li genyen yon bèl batay! Li voye chwal yo jete nan fon lanmè ak tout kavalye yo sou yo.
And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.
22 Moyiz fè moun Izrayèl yo pati kite bò lanmè Wouj la. Yo mete tèt yo sou bò dezè Chou a. Yo t'ap mache depi twa jou nan dezè a san yo pa jwenn gout dlo pou yo bwè.
Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.
23 Yo rive yon kote ki rele Mara. Men, yo pa t' kapab bwè dlo ki te la a, paske li te twò anmè. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote a Mara.
And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.
24 Pèp la pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz nan dezè a. Yo mande l': -Atò, kisa pou nou bwè koulye a?
And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?
25 Moyiz rele Seyè a, li lapriyè nan pye l'. Seyè a moutre l' yon kalite pyebwa. Moyiz lage branch bwa a nan dlo a, dlo a vin dous. Se la Seyè a te ba yo lòd ak regleman pou yo swiv. Se la li t'ap chache sonde yo.
And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;
26 Li di yo: -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou koute m' lè m' pale nou, si nou fè tout sa ki dwat devan mwen, si nou louvri zòrèy nou pou swiv kòmandman mwen yo, pou nou kenbe lòd mwen ban nou, mwen p'ap voye malè sou nou, jan mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap geri nou.
And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.
27 Apre sa, yo rive Elim, yon kote ki te gen douz sous dlo ak swasanndis pye dat. Yo rete la, yo moute tant yo bò dlo a.
And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
