Okuva 14
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
14 Awo Mukama n’alagira Musa nti, 2 (A)“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bawetemu nga boolekera Pikakirosi, bakube eweema zaabwe okumpi ne Pikakirosi, wakati wa Migudooli n’ennyanja. Musiisire ku lubalama lw’ennyanja nga mwolekedde Baali Zefoni. 3 Falaawo abaana ba Isirayiri ajja kuboogerako nti, ‘Babulubuutira mu nsi yaffe, n’eddungu libazingizza.’ 4 (B)Nzija kukakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo, alyoke abawondere. Naye ndyefunira ekitiibwa okuva ku bye ndikola Falaawo n’eggye lye lyonna; n’Abamisiri balitegeera nga nze Mukama.” Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola bwe batyo.
Falaawo Awondera Isirayiri
5 Kabaka w’e Misiri bwe yategeera ng’Abayisirayiri baddukidde ddala, Falaawo n’abakungu be ne bejjusa, ne bagamba nti, “Kiki kino kye tukoze, okuleka Abayisirayiri ababadde batukolera ne bagenda?” 6 Bw’atyo n’ateekateeka eggaali lye erisikibwa embalaasi, n’eggye ly’anaagenda nalyo. 7 Yatwala amagaali lukaaga agasingira ddala obulungi, n’agattako n’amagaali amalala gonna agaali mu Misiri, n’abalwanyi abaduumizi nga be bagavuga. 8 (C)Mukama n’akakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo Kabaka w’e Misiri, n’agoberera abaana ba Isirayiri. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakwata olugendo lwabwe nga tebaliiko gwe batya. 9 (D)Abamisiri ne babawondera: embalaasi zonna, n’amagaali gonna aga Falaawo agasikibwa embalaasi, n’abeebagadde embalaasi, n’eggye lye, ne babasanga nga basiisidde ku lubalama lw’ennyanja okumpi ne Pikakirosi, nga boolekedde Baali Zefoni.
10 (E)Falaawo bwe yasembera, abaana ba Isirayiri ne balengera Abamisiri nga babagoberera, ne batya nnyo. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne balaajaanira Mukama. 11 (F)Ne bagamba Musa nti, “Mu Misiri entaana tezaaliyo, kyewava otuleeta tufiire wano mu ddungu? Lwaki watuggya mu Misiri n’ojja otuyisa bw’oti? 12 Bwe twali mu Misiri tetwakugamba nti, ‘Tuveeko, tuleke tukolere Abamisiri?’ Kubanga okukolera Abamisiri kyandibadde waddeko okusinga okufiira mu ddungu.”
13 (G)Musa n’addamu abantu nti, “Temutya, munywere, mujja kulaba obulokozi Mukama bw’anaabaleetera olwa leero. Kubanga Abamisiri abo be mulaba kaakano, temuliddayo nate kubalaba emirembe gyonna. 14 (H)Mukama ajja kubalwanirira. Mmwe musirike busirisi.”
15 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Lwaki okaabirira nze? Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri bakwate olugendo lwabwe. 16 (I)Wanika omuggo gwo, ogolole n’omukono gwo ku nnyanja, amazzi ogaawulemu, abaana ba Isirayiri bayite wakati mu nnyanja kyokka nga batambulira ku ttaka kkalu. 17 (J)Nange nzija kukakanyaza emitima gy’Abamisiri, bayingirire ennyanja nga babagoberera. Ndyoke nefunire ekitiibwa okusinziira ku bye nnaakola Falaawo, n’amaggye ge, n’amagaali ge, n’abeebagadde embalaasi. 18 Abamisiri nabo banaategeera nga nze Mukama, nga nefunidde ekitiibwa: okusinziira ku bye nnaakola Falaawo n’amagaali ge, n’abasajja be abeebagadde embalaasi.”
19 (K)Awo malayika wa Katonda eyali akulembera abaana ba Isirayiri n’akyuka n’abadda emabega; n’empagi ey’ekire ne yejjulula okuva mu maaso gaabwe, n’eyimirira emabega waabwe: 20 Bw’etyo n’ebeera wakati w’abaana ba Isirayiri n’eggye ly’Abamisiri. Ekiro, ekire ne kireeta ekizikiza ku ludda lw’Abamisiri, naye ne kireeta omuliro okumulisa oludda lw’Abayisirayiri; ekiro kyonna ne wataba ggye lisemberera linnaalyo.
Okuyita mu Nnyanja Emyufu
21 (L)Awo Musa n’agolola omukono gwe ku nnyanja; Mukama n’asindika ku nnyanja embuyaga ez’amaanyi ezaava ebuvanjuba, ne zigobawo amazzi ekiro kyonna, ne lufuuka lukalu, ng’amazzi gayawuddwamu. 22 (M)Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bayita wakati mu nnyanja nga batambulira ku ttaka ekkalu, ng’amazzi gakoze ekisenge ku ludda lwabwe olwa ddyo n’olwa kkono.
23 Abamisiri ne babawondera ne bayingira wakati mu nnyanja n’amagaali ga Falaawo gonna, n’embalaasi ze, n’abasajja be abeebagadde embalaasi. 24 (N)Awo mu makya ennyo nga tebunnalaba, Mukama n’atunuulira eggye ly’Abamisiri ng’ali mu mpagi ey’ekire n’omuliro, n’atandika okulibonyaabonya. 25 (O)Amagaali gaabwe yagamaamulako zinnamuziga, ne gabakaluubirira okuvuga. Abamisiri n’okugamba ne bagamba nti, “Leka Abayisirayiri tubadduke! Kubanga Mukama alwanyisa Misiri ng’abalwanirira.”
26 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Golola omukono gwo ku nnyanja, amazzi gakomewo gaggweere ku Bamisiri, ne ku magaali gaabwe, ne ku basajja baabwe abeebagadde embalaasi.” 27 (P)Bw’atyo Musa n’agololera ennyanja omukono gwe, obudde bwe bwakya n’ekomawo n’amaanyi, Abamisiri ne bagidduka nga balaba ejja; Mukama, Abamisiri n’abasaanyaawo wakati mu nnyanja. 28 Amazzi ne gakomawo ne gasaanikira amagaali n’abeebagadde embalaasi, n’eggye lya Falaawo lyonna eryali ligoberedde Abayisirayiri mu nnyanja. Tewaali n’omu ku bo eyawona.
29 (Q)Naye abaana ba Isirayiri bo nga batambulira ku ttaka kkalu wakati mu nnyanja, amazzi nga gakoze ekisenge ku ludda lwabwe olwa ddyo ne ku lwa kkono. 30 (R)Bwe kityo ku lunaku olwo Abayisirayiri Mukama n’abawonya Abamisiri. Abayisirayiri ne balaba Abamisiri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja nga bafudde. 31 (S)Abayisirayiri ne balaba obuyinza obunene ennyo Mukama bwe yalaga ng’akola ku Bamisiri: abantu ne batya Mukama, ne bakkiriza Mukama n’omuweereza we Musa.
Exodus 14
New King James Version
The Red Sea Crossing
14 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, (A)that they turn and camp before (B)Pi Hahiroth, between (C)Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. 3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, (D)‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’ 4 Then (E)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I (F)will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, (G)that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5 Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and (H)the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” 6 So he [a]made ready his chariot and took his people with him. 7 Also, he took (I)six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them. 8 And the Lord (J)hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and (K)the children of Israel went out with boldness. 9 So the (L)Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel (M)cried out to the Lord. 11 (N)Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? 12 (O)Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”
13 And Moses said to the people, (P)“Do not be afraid. (Q)Stand still, and see the (R)salvation[b] of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall (S)see again no more forever. 14 (T)The Lord will fight for you, and you shall (U)hold[c] your peace.”
15 And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16 But (V)lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17 And I indeed will (W)harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will (X)gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 And the Angel of God, (Y)who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and (Z)made the sea into dry land, and the waters were (AA)divided. 22 So (AB)the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were (AC)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Now it came to pass, in the morning (AD)watch, that (AE)the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He [d]troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He [e]took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord (AF)fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea (AG)returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord (AH)overthrew[f] the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 Then (AI)the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. 29 But (AJ)the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 So the Lord (AK)saved[g] Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel (AL)saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 Thus Israel saw the great [h]work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and (AM)believed the Lord and His servant Moses.

Crossing the Red Sea
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the people of Israel to (A)turn back and encamp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between (B)Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea. 3 For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They are wandering in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’ 4 And (C)I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them, and I will (D)get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, (E)and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the (F)mind of Pharaoh and 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?” 6 So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him, 7 and took (G)six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. 8 And (H)the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the people of Israel while (I)the people of Israel were going out defiantly. 9 The (J)Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them (K)encamped at the sea, by Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel (L)cried out to the Lord. 11 They (M)said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Is not this what (N)we said to you in Egypt: ‘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.” 13 And Moses said to the people, (O)“Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For (P)the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 (Q)The Lord will fight for you, and you have only (R)to be silent.”
15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16 (S)Lift up your staff, and (T)stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground. 17 And (U)I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and (V)I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18 And the Egyptians (W)shall know that I am the Lord, (X)when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 (Y)Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, 20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. And it lit up the night[a] without one coming near the other all night.
21 Then Moses (Z)stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by (AA)a strong east wind all night and (AB)made the sea dry land, and the waters were (AC)divided. 22 And (AD)the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being (AE)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging[b] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the (AF)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, (AG)“Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” 27 (AH)So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea (AI)returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord (AJ)threw[c] the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 The (AK)waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, (AL)not one of them remained. 29 But the (AM)people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord (AN)saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 (AO)Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they (AP)believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

14 L'Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:
2 Parle aux enfants d'Israël; qu'ils se détournent, et qu'ils campent devant Pi Hahiroth, entre Migdol et la mer, vis-à-vis de Baal Tsephon; c'est en face de ce lieu que vous camperez, près de la mer.
3 Pharaon dira des enfants d'Israël: Ils sont égarés dans le pays; le désert les enferme.
4 J'endurcirai le coeur de Pharaon, et il les poursuivra; mais Pharaon et toute son armée serviront à faire éclater ma gloire, et les Égyptiens sauront que je suis l'Éternel. Et les enfants d'Israël firent ainsi.
5 On annonça au roi d'Égypte que le peuple avait pris la fuite. Alors le coeur de Pharaon et celui de ses serviteurs furent changés à l'égard du peuple. Ils dirent: Qu'avons-nous fait, en laissant aller Israël, dont nous n'aurons plus les services?
6 Et Pharaon attela son char, et il prit son peuple avec lui.
7 Il prit six cent chars d'élite, et tous les chars de l'Égypte; il y avait sur tous des combattants.
8 L'Éternel endurcit le coeur de Pharaon, roi d'Égypte, et Pharaon poursuivit les enfants d'Israël. Les enfants d'Israël étaient sortis la main levée.
9 Les Égyptiens les poursuivirent; et tous les chevaux, les chars de Pharaon, ses cavaliers et son armée, les atteignirent campés près de la mer, vers Pi Hahiroth, vis-à-vis de Baal Tsephon.
10 Pharaon approchait. Les enfants d'Israël levèrent les yeux, et voici, les Égyptiens étaient en marche derrière eux. Et les enfants d'Israël eurent une grande frayeur, et crièrent à l'Éternel.
11 Ils dirent à Moïse: N'y avait-il pas des sépulcres en Égypte, sans qu'il fût besoin de nous mener mourir au désert? Que nous as-tu fait en nous faisant sortir d'Égypte?
12 N'est-ce pas là ce que nous te disions en Égypte: Laisse-nous servir les Égyptiens, car nous aimons mieux servir les Égyptiens que de mourir au désert?
13 Moïse répondit au peuple: Ne craignez rien, restez en place, et regardez la délivrance que l'Éternel va vous accorder en ce jour; car les Égyptiens que vous voyez aujourd'hui, vous ne les verrez plus jamais.
14 L'Éternel combattra pour vous; et vous, gardez le silence.
15 L'Éternel dit à Moïse: Pourquoi ces cris? Parle aux enfants d'Israël, et qu'ils marchent.
16 Toi, lève ta verge, étends ta main sur la mer, et fends-la; et les enfants d'Israël entreront au milieu de la mer à sec.
17 Et moi, je vais endurcir le coeur des Égyptiens, pour qu'ils y entrent après eux: et Pharaon et toute son armée, ses chars et ses cavaliers, feront éclater ma gloire.
18 Et les Égyptiens sauront que je suis l'Éternel, quand Pharaon, ses chars et ses cavaliers, auront fait éclater ma gloire.
19 L'ange de Dieu, qui allait devant le camp d'Israël, partit et alla derrière eux; et la colonne de nuée qui les précédait, partit et se tint derrière eux.
20 Elle se plaça entre le camp des Égyptiens et le camp d'Israël. Cette nuée était ténébreuse d'un côté, et de l'autre elle éclairait la nuit. Et les deux camps n'approchèrent point l'un de l'autre pendant toute la nuit.
21 Moïse étendit sa main sur la mer. Et l'Éternel refoula la mer par un vent d'orient, qui souffla avec impétuosité toute la nuit; il mit la mer à sec, et les eaux se fendirent.
22 Les enfants d'Israël entrèrent au milieu de la mer à sec, et les eaux formaient comme une muraille à leur droite et à leur gauche.
23 Les Égyptiens les poursuivirent; et tous les chevaux de Pharaon, ses chars et ses cavaliers, entrèrent après eux au milieu de la mer.
24 A la veille du matin, l'Éternel, de la colonne de feu et de nuée, regarda le camp des Égyptiens, et mit en désordre le camp des Égyptiens.
25 Il ôta les roues de leurs chars et en rendit la marche difficile. Les Égyptiens dirent alors: Fuyons devant Israël, car l'Éternel combat pour lui contre les Égyptiens.
26 L'Éternel dit à Moïse: Étends ta main sur la mer; et les eaux reviendront sur les Égyptiens, sur leurs chars et sur leurs cavaliers.
27 Moïse étendit sa main sur la mer. Et vers le matin, la mer reprit son impétuosité, et les Égyptiens s'enfuirent à son approche; mais l'Éternel précipita les Égyptiens au milieu de la mer.
28 Les eaux revinrent, et couvrirent les chars, les cavaliers et toute l'armée de Pharaon, qui étaient entrés dans la mer après les enfants d'Israël; et il n'en échappa pas un seul.
29 Mais les enfants d'Israël marchèrent à sec au milieu de la mer, et les eaux formaient comme une muraille à leur droite et à leur gauche.
30 En ce jour, l'Éternel délivra Israël de la main des Égyptiens; et Israël vit sur le rivage de la mer les Égyptiens qui étaient morts.
31 Israël vit la main puissante que l'Éternel avait dirigée contre les Égyptiens. Et le peuple craignit l'Éternel, et il crut en l'Éternel et en Moïse, son serviteur.
