14 Markaasaa Rabbigu la hadlay Muuse, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, La hadal reer binu Israa'iil oo u sheeg inay dib u soo noqdaan oo ay degaan meel ka horraysa Fiihaahiirod, oo u dhaxaysa Migdol iyo badda, kana horraysa Bacal Sefoon. Horteeda oo meel badda agteeda ah waa inaad degtaan. Oo Fircoon wuxuu wax ka sheegi doonaa reer binu Israa'iil, oo odhan doonaa, Dhulkaa murgiyey, oo cidladaa xidhay iyagii. Oo anna waxaan qallafin doonaa Fircoon qalbigiisa, oo isna wuu soo raacdaysan doonaa iyaga; markaasaan Fircoon iyo ciidankiisaba ciso ka heli doonaa; Masriyiintuna waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga. Oo iyana sidii bay yeeleen. Oo waxaa loo sheegay boqorkii Masar inay dadkii carareen; markaasaa Fircoon iyo addoommadiisii qalbigoodii wuxuu u rogmaday xaggii dadka, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxan aynu samaynay waa maxay, oo maxaynu reer binu Israa'iil uga sii daynay adeegiddii ay inoo adeegi jireen? Markaasuu wuxuu diyaarsaday gaadhifaraskiisii, oo wuxuu watay dadkiisii; Oo wuxuu kaxaystay lix boqol oo gaadhifaras ah oo la doortay, iyo gaadhifardoodkii Masar oo dhan, iyo saraakiil u sarraysa kulligood. Markaasaa Rabbigu qallafiyey qalbigii boqorkii Masar oo Fircoon ahaa; kolkaasuu wuxuu raacdaystay reer binu Israa'iil; waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku bexeen gacan sarraysa. Markaasaa Masriyiintii iyagii raacdaysteen. Kulli Fircoon fardihiisii iyo gaadhifardoodkiisii oo dhan, iyo fardooleydiisii, iyo ciidankiisii ayaa raacdeeyey, oo waxay gaadheen iyagoo deggan meel badda u dhow, oo Fiihaahiirod dhinaceeda ah, kana horraysa Bacal Sefoon. 10 Oo markii Fircoon soo dhowaaday, ayaa reer binu Israa'iil indhaha kor u taageen, oo waxay arkeen Masriyiintii oo soo daba socota; markaasay aad iyo aad u cabsadeen, oo reer binu Israa'iil ayaa Rabbiga u qayshaday. 11 Oo waxay Muuse ku yidhaahdeen, War ma xabaalaan jirin Masar, oo sidaa aawadeed aad noogu soo kaxaysay cidlada inaannu ku dhimanno? Maxaad sidan noogu gashay oo aad Masar nooga soo saartay? 12 Sow erayganu ma aha kii aannu kugula hadalnay Masar dhexdeeda, annagoo ku leh, Iska kaaya daa, aannu Masriyiinta u addeegnee? Waayo, waxaa noo wanaagsanaan lahayd inaannu Masriyiinta u adeegno, intii aannu cidlada ku dhiman lahayn. 13 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, War ha cabsanina, oo iska taagnaada, oo bal arka badbaadada uu Rabbigu maanta idiin samayn doono; waayo, Masriyiinta aad maanta aragteen, weligiin mar dambe ma arki doontaan. 14 Oo Rabbigu aawadiin buu u diriri doonaa, oo idinku waa inaad iska aamusnaataan.

15 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, War maxaad iigu qaylinaysaa? Reer binu Israa'iil u sheeg inay hore u socdaan. 16 Oo adigu ushaada kor u qaad, oo gacanta badda ku kor fidi, oo kala goo; oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay mari doonaan badda dhexdeeda oo ay ku socon doonaan dhul engegan. 17 Oo bal ogow, anigu waxaan qallafin doonaa qalbiga Masriyiinta, oo iyagay daba geli doonaan; oo markaasaan ciso ka heli doonaa Fircoon, iyo ciidankiisa oo dhan, iyo gaadhifardoodkiisa, iyo fardooleydiisa. 18 Oo Masriyiintu markaasay garan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay, kolkii aan sharaf ka helo Fircoon, iyo gaadhifardoodkiisa, iyo fardooleydiisa. 19 Markaasaa malaa'igtii Ilaah oo hor socotay reer binu Israa'iil soo wareegtay oo daba martay iyagii, markaasaa tiirkii daruurta ahaa ka soo hor wareegay oo uu daba maray iyagii; 20 oo wuxuu kala dhex galay reer Masar iyo reer binu Israa'iil; oo waxaa jiray daruur iyo gudcur, laakiinse weliba habeennimadii wuu iftiimay; oo habeenkii oo dhan midna uma soo dhowaan ka kale. 21 Markaasaa Muuse gacantii baddii ku kor fidiyey, oo habeenkii oo dhan Rabbigu wuxuu baddii dib ugu celiyey dabayl xoog badan oo bari ka timid, oo wuxuu baddii ka dhigay dhul engegan, oo biyihiina way kala go'een. 22 Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil baddii dhex mareen, oo waxay ku socdeen dhul engegan, oo biyihiina waxay iyagii u ahaayeen derbi xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixdaba. 23 Markaasaa Masriyiintiina soo eryadeen, oo intay soo daba galeen ayay waxay mareen badda dhexdeeda, oo waxayna ahaayeen Fircoon fardihiisii iyo gaadhifardoodkiisii, iyo fardooleydiisii oo dhan. 24 Oo markii waagii beryay waxaa dhacday in Rabbigu ciidankii Masriyiinta ka dhex fiiriyey tiirkii dabka ahaa iyo kii daruurta ahaa, kolkaasuu kadeeday ciidankii Masriyiinta. 25 Kolkaasuu giringirihii gaadhifardoodkooda xidhay, inay si dhib leh u kexeeyaan; markaasay Masriyiintii waxay yidhaahdeen, Reer binu Israa'iil hortooda aynu ka cararno; waayo, Rabbigu waa u dirirayaa iyaga oo uga hiilinayaa Masriyiinta.

26 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Badda gacanta ku kor fidi, inay biyuhu ku soo noqdaan Masriyiinta, iyo gaadhifardoodkooda, iyo fardooleydooda. 27 Markaasaa Muuse gacantii badda ku kor fidiyey, oo markii waagii beryay ayaa baddii xooggeedii hore ku soo noqotay, markaasaa Masriyiintiina ka carareen; kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Masriyiintii ku tuuray badda dhexdeedii. 28 Markaasaa biyihii isku soo noqdeen, oo waxay qariyeen gaadhifardoodkii, iyo fardooleydii, iyo xataa ciidankii Fircoon oo dhan oo badda dhexdeeda reer binu Israa'iil ku eryaday, oo xataa midna kama hadhin. 29 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku socdeen dhul engegan oo badda dhexdeeda ah, biyihiina waxay iyagii u ahaayeen derbi xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixdaba. 30 Oo sidaasaa Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil uga badbaadiyey gacantii Masriyiinta; oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay arkeen Masriyiintii oo dhimatay oo badda xeebteeda taal. 31 Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay arkeen shuqulkii weynaa oo Rabbigu ku sameeyey Masriyiintii, kolkaasay dadkii Rabbiga ka cabsadeen, oo waxay rumaysteen Rabbiga iyo addoonkiisii Muuse.

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol(A) and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.(B) Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,(C) and he will pursue them.(D) But I will gain glory(E) for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”(F) So the Israelites did this.

When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled,(G) Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds(H) about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. He took six hundred of the best chariots,(I) along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. The Lord hardened the heart(J) of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.(K) The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses(L) and chariots, horsemen[a] and troops(M)—pursued the Israelites and overtook(N) them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.(O)

10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried(P) out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?(Q) What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”(R)

13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.(S) Stand firm and you will see(T) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see(U) again. 14 The Lord will fight(V) for you; you need only to be still.”(W)

15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?(X) Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff(Y) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water(Z) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts(AA) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.(AB) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(AC) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”

19 Then the angel of God,(AD) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud(AE) also moved from in front and stood behind(AF) them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness(AG) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(AH) over the sea,(AI) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(AJ) and turned it into dry land.(AK) The waters were divided,(AL) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(AM) on dry ground,(AN) with a wall(AO) of water on their right and on their left.

23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(AP) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(AQ) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(AR) 25 He jammed[b] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(AS) for them against Egypt.”(AT)

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.(AU) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(AV) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(AW) Not one of them survived.(AX)

29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(AY) with a wall(AZ) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(BA) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand(BB) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared(BC) the Lord and put their trust(BD) in him and in Moses his servant.
