1Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:
1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2'Ütle Iisraeli lastele, et nad pöörduksid tagasi ja lööksid leeri üles Pii-Hahiroti kohale, Migdoli ja mere vahele, Baal-Sefoni ette, sellega vastakuti; lööge leer üles mere äärde!
2“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3Sest vaarao mõtleb, et Iisraeli lapsed ekslevad mööda maad, kõrb peab nad kinni.
3Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4Mina teen kõvaks vaarao südame ja ta ajab neid taga. Aga mina ilmutan oma au vaarao ja kogu tema sõjaväe arvel, et egiptlased tunneksid, et mina olen Issand.' Ja nad tegid nõnda.
4I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.
5Kui Egiptuse kuningale anti teada, et rahvas oli põgenenud, siis vaarao ja ta sulaste süda pöördus rahva vastu, ja nad ütlesid: 'Miks tegime nõnda, et lasksime Iisraeli meid orjamast!'
5It was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6Ja ta laskis rakendada hobused sõjavankrite ette ning võttis oma rahva enesega kaasa.
6He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7Ta võttis kuussada valitud sõjavankrit ja kõik muud Egiptuse sõjavankrid, ja võitlejaid nende kõigi jaoks.
7and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
8Ja Issand tegi kõvaks vaarao, Egiptuse kuninga südame, ning too ajas taga Iisraeli lapsi; Iisraeli lapsed aga olid välja läinud ülestõstetud käe kaitsel.
8Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9Ja egiptlased, kõik vaarao hobused, sõjavankrid ja tema ratsanikud ning sõjavägi, ajasid neid taga ning jõudsid neile järele, kui nad olid leeris mere ääres Pii-Hahirotis, Baal-Sefoni kohal.
9The Egyptians pursued after them: all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army; and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10Kui vaarao oli ligidal, siis Iisraeli lapsed tõstsid oma silmad üles, ja vaata, egiptlased olid tulemas neile järele. Siis Iisraeli lapsed kartsid väga ja kisendasid Issanda poole.
10When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.
11Ja nad ütlesid Moosesele: 'Kas ei olnud siis Egiptuses haudu, et tõid meid kõrbe surema? Miks tegid meile seda, tuues meid Egiptusest välja?
11They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
12Eks see just olegi, mis me rääkisime sulle Egiptuses, öeldes: Jäta meid rahule, et võiksime teenida egiptlasi! Sest meil on parem egiptlasi teenida kui kõrbes surra.'
12Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?’ For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.”
13Aga Mooses vastas rahvale: 'Ärge kartke, püsige paigal, siis te näete Issanda päästet, mille ta täna teile valmistab! Sest egiptlasi, keda te näete täna, ei näe te edaspidi enam iialgi.
13Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.
14Issand sõdib teie eest, aga teie vaikige!'
14Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Miks sa minu poole kisendad? Ütle Iisraeli lastele, et nad läheksid edasi!
15Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16Sina aga tõsta oma kepp üles, siruta käsi mere kohale ja lõhesta see, et Iisraeli lapsed saaksid minna kuiva mööda läbi mere!
16Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17Ja mina, vaata, teen siis kõvaks egiptlaste südamed ja nad tulevad teile järele. Aga mina ilmutan oma au vaarao ja kogu ta sõjaväe, ta sõjavankrite ja ratsanike arvel,
17I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18et egiptlased tunneksid, et mina olen Issand, kui ma ilmutan oma au vaarao, tema sõjavankrite ja ratsanike arvel.'
18The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19Siis Jumala ingel, kes oli käinud Iisraeli leeri ees, siirdus ning läks nende taha; ja pilvesammas siirdus nende eest ning seisis nende taga,
19The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20tulles egiptlaste leeri ja Iisraeli leeri vahele; siis oli pilv ühele pime, aga teisele valgustas ööd, ja üks ei pääsenud teisele ligi kogu öö.
20It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one didn’t come near the other all the night.
21Siis Mooses sirutas oma käe mere kohale ja Issand laskis mere taanduda tugevast idatuulest kogu öö ning tegi mere kuivaks - vesi lõhenes.
21Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22Ja Iisraeli lapsed läksid läbi mere kuiva mööda ja vesi oli neil müürina paremal ja vasakul pool.
22The children of Israel went into 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.
23Ja egiptlased ajasid neid taga ning tulid neile järele, kõik vaarao hobused, tema sõjavankrid ja ratsanikud, keset merd.
23The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24Kui saabus hommikune vahikord, siis Issand vaatas egiptlaste leeri peale tule- ja pilvesambast, ja viis egiptlaste leeri segadusse.
24It happened in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
25Ja ta kiilus kinni nende sõjavankrite rattad ning takistas nende sõitu. Siis ütlesid egiptlased: 'Põgenegem Iisraeli eest, sest Issand sõdib nende poolt egiptlaste vastu!'
25He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26Aga Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Siruta oma käsi välja mere kohale, et vesi tuleks tagasi egiptlaste, nende sõjavankrite ja ratsanike peale!'
26Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27Ja Mooses sirutas oma käe välja mere kohale ning koiduajal meri pöördus tagasi oma paika, egiptlased aga põgenesid sellele vastu; ja Issand paiskas egiptlased keset merd.
27Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28Ja vesi tuli tagasi ning kattis sõjavankrid ja ratsanikud, kogu vaarao sõjaväe, kes oli tulnud neile merre järele; ei jäänud neist üle ühtainsatki.
28The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29Iisraeli lapsed aga läksid kuiva mööda läbi mere, ja vesi oli neil müürina paremal ja vasakul pool.
29But the children of Israel 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.
30Nõnda päästis Issand sel päeval Iisraeli egiptlaste käest ja Iisrael nägi egiptlasi surnuina mere rannal.
30Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31Ja Iisrael nägi seda suurt kätt, mida Issand näitas egiptlastele, ja rahvas kartis Issandat ning nad uskusid Issandat ja Moosest, tema sulast.
31Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh, and in his servant Moses.
