Exodus 14 (MFO)

1Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi,Then the LORD said to Moses,

2“Gbaak anọng p'Israẹl bi, bẹ akpa nnam atza abhing abaanga Pi-Hahirọt kw'owobh k'ottem kwa Migdol, ọmaana ọraanga kw'ideden. Tte bẹ abhing k'ọraanga kw'ideden ọkhaan-ọkhaan, akkeri Baal-Zẹphọn itzitzikha.“Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. You are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal-zephon.

3Phero ón-ochibhi bi, anọng p'Israẹl am-awen akhọri irerek nna k'ikkokkoni, s'ikpori bẹ imaana k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi.For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’

4Kaam ńsi Phero ọgaangi eho, okhubh bẹ ka nnam. Yina, kaam ńnenga ka Phero ọmaana k'agbongnọng pẹ, ńdọkha abarada ka for saam. Anọng mba p'Ijip áronga bi, kaam wọ nde Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.” Mẹ wọ, anọng p'Israẹl asi mando.And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. But I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” So this is what the Israelites did.

5Mada Phero kw'ode ọvaarnọng kw'Ijip ọbhaang bi, anọng p'Israẹl akk'arọbha afona, Phero ọmaana akhaan-nọng pẹ abhona achibhi pabẹ, aben bi, “Bọng odik kw'amosi ma? Mokk'anọng mba ọbọhk ọtta bẹ afona, ọtzọhm fabẹ okk'man obiro odimi.”When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”

6Mẹ wọ, odo akpaar pẹ pa nnyanyaang mindọr ewobha, obiro otzima agbongnọng pẹ bi, bẹ atzọn-ẹ abẹ.So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him.

7Otzima akpaar akkakka pẹ pa nnyanyaang mindọr, ẹnọhna obhiri arọbh jobh, ttara k'akpaar pa nnyanyaang mindọr p'Ijip biphyir, ttara adeho p'atzim bẹ biphyir eden.He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.

8Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi osi Phero kw'ode ọvaarnọng kw'Ijip ọgaangi ettem, okhubh anọng p'Israẹl ka nnam p'am-arenga ekkengitza, afona.And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out defiantly.

9Anọng p'Ijip, ọmaana nnyanyaang sa Phero, ọmaana akpaar pẹ pa nnyanyaang mindọr, ọmaana ayaari-nnyanyaang, ttara agbongnọng pẹ biphyir, akhubh anọng p'Israẹl ka nnam, agwora bẹ kẹ da bẹ abhingi k'ọraanga kw'ideden, ọbaanga Pi-Hahirọt kw'okkeri Baal-Zẹphọn itzitzikha.The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.

10Mada anọng p'Israẹl atzini chen are bi, Phero ttara anọng p'Ijip areng akwuma ka nnam, ojora osi bẹ. Bẹ abhom amọng ayeri Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians marching after them, and they were terrified and cried out to the LORD.

11Bẹ an-aben Mosẹs bi, “Ma da mpekhubh nni k'Ijip nde, kẹ wọ osi atzima man akwu m'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi bi, mope o? Bọng odik wọ kw'asi man ma bi, atzima man abina k'Ijip o?They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us into the wilderness to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?

12Wa man kọ kobeni bi, ‘Atte man ọbọhk mowobha, mosi itzọhm ọnang anọng p'Ijip?’ Ira ojibh ọtzam bi mosi itzọhm ọnang anọng p'Ijip, ọyọhnga bi, mokwu ope m'ibe nna s'anọng an-arukhi!”Did we not say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

13Mosẹs obhina bẹ bi, “Tte oningi bọng ojor. Bọng do abe, kkeri mayina, bọng áre ẹnaanga ch'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọ́nang bọng. Anọng mba p'Ijip pa bọng are mayina ma, bọng bẹ dọk káre e.But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.

14Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi wọ ósi erima chabọng, bọbọng kingẹ wobha bi sẹẹbh.”The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

15Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Ode yan kwa kọ am-abhom ayer-m o? Ben anọng p'Israẹl achina ororo k'orenga.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.

16Tzini ochikhura kwọ, anemi ọbọhk atzena k'ọraanga kw'ideden ifha asi abhaangi, anọng p'Israẹl arenga k'irerek ajekha.And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

17Kaam ńsi anọng p'Ijip agaangi nho, ifha bẹ ákhubh bẹ ka nnam. Kaam mbiri ńnenga ka Phero, ọmaana agbongnọng pẹ biphyir, ọmaana akpaar pẹ pa nnyanyaang mindọr, ttara ayaari-nnyanyaang pẹ, ńdọkha abarada.And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen.

18Anọng p'Ijip árọnga bi, kaam wọ nde Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, mada nnenga ka Phero, ọmaana akpaar pẹ pa nnyanyaang mindọr, ttara k'ayaari nnyanyaang pẹ ndọkha abarada.”The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

19Mẹ wọ, itzọhmi s'Ibinọkpaabyi s'ikk'arim-egbong p'Israẹl eden im-icha, in-ikpa nnam itza iwobha bẹ ka nnam. Eboni ch'ebe iduduma ebere ebina bẹ k'itzitzikha, ọtza ebe bẹ ka nnam,And the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them,

20kw'ode ottem kw'agbongnọng p'Ijip ọmaana p'Israẹl. M'erungi biphyir eboni nda etzima ipyerungi ekwu k'okhubha wani, ọmaana iyaan k'okhubha nwonggo. Mẹ wọ, ọnọng kw'ofha orenga ọbaanga oyok m'erungiwu nduma biphyir kode.so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other.

21Mẹ wọ, Mosẹs onemi ọbọhk kwẹ otzena k'ọraanga kw'ideden, m'erungiwu nduma biphyir Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi otzima ọphapha kw'ọgaang-ọgaangi kw'ofon kẹ da ewuchen em-eyin, okpena asi maa ogbin oyin. Asi mba abhaangi.Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided,

22Wa anọng p'Israẹl arenga k'ogbin m'ẹraangattem, ttara asi p'abe mach'echumi k'odimbọhk, ttara ka kwabọhk kwabẹ.and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.

23Anọng p'Ijip, ọmaana nnyanyaang sa Phero, ọmaana akpaar pa pẹ nnyanyaang mindọr, ttara ayaari-nnyanyaang pẹ biphyir, akhubh bẹ ka nnam adim k'ẹraangattem ch'ọraanga kw'ideden.And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen—and followed them into the sea.

24Mẹ ekpekpebha, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi orenga k'ekpon ch'ebe iduduma, ọmaana k'eboni ore agbongnọng p'Ijip, mẹ wọ, okhe bẹ ka dama-dama.At morning watch, however, the LORD looked down on the army of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw their camp into confusion.

25Osi ndọkhi s'akpaar pa nnyanyaang mindọr irọbha, maa orenga ọyak bẹ. Mẹ wọ e, anọng p'Ijip an-aben bi, “Tte motte anọng p'Israẹl ọbọhk! Kkeri Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi wọ om-orima Ijip abẹ ma, ka eho chabẹ.”He caused their chariot wheels to wobble, so that they had difficulty driving. “Let us flee from the Israelites,” said the Egyptians, “for the LORD is fighting for them against Egypt!”

26Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Nemi ọbọhk kwọ atzena k'ọraanga kw'ideden, ifha asi akpa nnam anwa akpori anọng p'Ijip, ọmaana akpaar pabẹ pa nnyanyaang mindọr, ttara ayaari nnyanyaang pabẹ.”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.”

27Mosẹs e onemi ọbọhk kwẹ otzena k'ọraanga kw'ideden. M'owukhobha ọraanga nwa akpa nnam owobha mach'ira owobh. Anọng p'Ijip am-akhonga ọrọrọbh, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okpena bẹ biphyir okhe k'ọraanga kw'ideden.So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians were retreating, the LORD swept them into the sea.

28Asi mba abhobh abhori akpaar pa nnyanyaang mindọr, ọmaana ayaari nnyanyaang, ttara agbongnọng pa Phero biphyir p'akk'anọng p'Israẹl akhubha ka nnam, anwa k'ọraanga kw'ideden. Ọnọng manda wani kw'ọnang kode.The waters flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had chased the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.

29Yina, wa anọng p'Israẹl areng k'ogbin m'ẹraangattem, ch'asi abe mach'echumi k'odimbọhk ttara ka kwabọhk kwabẹ.But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.

30M'ewu nduma, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọkkaana anọng p'Israẹl ka mbọhk s'anọng p'Ijip. Wa anọng p'Israẹl an-are da anọng p'Ijip an-ayim abukh-abukhi k'ọraanga ọkhaan-ọkhaan.That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.

31Mẹ wọ e, mada anọng p'Israẹl are ẹfa ch'ideden ch'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi otzim okhema anọng p'Ijip, bẹ akhaama ojora f'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, bẹ abira akhaama nnam-ophephe ka kẹ, ọmaana ka ọtzọhmnọng kwẹ Mosẹs.When Israel saw the great power that the LORD had exercised over the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and believed in Him and in His servant Moses.
