¹¶ Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, kia tahuri, kia noho ki te ritenga atu o Pihahirota, i waenganui o Mikitoro, o te moana, ki te ritenga o Paarahepona: hei te wahi e hangai tonu ana ki reira, hei te taha o te moana koutou noho ai.

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.

³A e kiia nga tama a Iharaira e Parao, E pohehe ana ratou i te whenua, kua tutakina mai ratou e te koraha.

³Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’

⁴A maku e whakapakeke te ngakau o Parao, kia wahi ai ia i a ratou: a ka whai kororia ahau i a Parao ratou ko tona nuinga katoa; a ka mohio nga Ihipiana ko Ihowa ahau; a pera ana ratou.

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.

⁵A ka korerotia ki te kingi o Ihipa, kua whati te iwi: na ka puta ke te ngakau o Parao ratou ko ana tangata, ki te iwi, a ka mea ratou, He aha tenei mahi a tatou, i tukua atu ai a Iharaira i a tatou mahi?

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?”

⁶Na ka here ia i tana hariata, i mauria ano hoki e ia tona iwi:

⁶He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;

⁷A takiritia ake e ia e ono rau hariata, whiriwhiri rawa, me nga hariata katoa o Ihipa, rite katoa i te rangatira.

⁷and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

⁸Na whakapakeke ana a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao kingi o Ihipa, ko te tino whainga i muri i nga tama a Iharaira: tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, kei runga tonu te ringaringa i haere atu ai ratou.

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.

⁹Na whai ana nga Ihipiana i a ratou, nga hoiho katoa, nga hariata a Parao, me ana hoia eke hoiho, me ana mano, a mau rawa ratou, i a ratou e noho ana i te tahatai, i Pihahirota, e titiro atu nei ki Paarahepona.

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.

¹⁰¶ A, i te whakatatanga mai o Parao, na ka anga ake nga kanohi o nga tama a Iharaira, na, ko nga Ihipiana e whai ana i muri i a ratou; a tino wehi ana ratou: na ka karanga nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa.

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.

¹¹A ka mea ratou ki a Mohi, He onge koia no te urupa o Ihipa i kahaki mai ai koe i a matou ki te koraha mate ai? He aha ra tenei mahi au ki a matou, i arahina mai ai matou e koe i Ihipa?

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?

¹²Ehara koia tenei i ta matou kupu i ki ra ki a koe i Ihipa, i mea ra, Waiho ra matou kia whakamahia ana e nga Ihipiana? Pai ke kia whakamahia matou e nga Ihipiana i to matou mate ki te koraha.

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.”

¹³Na ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kaua e wehi; tu marie, ka titiro atu ki te whakaoranga a Ihowa e whakaputaina mai e ia ki a koutou i tenei ra: no ko nga Ihipiana e kitea atu ra e koutou i tenei ra, e kore e kitea ano e koutou a muri ake nei.

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.

¹⁴Ma Ihowa ta koutou pakanga; ko koutou ia e kore e hamumu.

¹⁴Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”

¹⁵¶ Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, He aha koe i karanga ai ki ahau? Ki atu ki nga tama a Iharaira kia maro te haere:

¹⁵Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.

¹⁶Na hapainga e koe tau tokotoko, ka whakamaro atu ai i tou ringa ki runga ake i te moana, kia wehea ai; na ka haere atu nga tama a Iharaira ma waenga moana, i te wahi maroke.

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.

¹⁷A ko ahau, ina, maku e whakapakeke nga ngakau o nga Ihipiana, a ka whai ratou i muri i a ratou: a ka whai kororia ahau i a Parao, i ana mano, i ana hariata, i ana hoia eke hoiho.

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.

¹⁸A ka mohio nga Ihipiana ko Ihowa ahau, ina whai kororia ahau i a Parao, i ana hariata, i ana hoia eke hoiho.

¹⁸The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”

¹⁹Na ka whakatika te anahera a te Atua, i haere ra i mua i te ope o Iharaira, a haere ana ki muri i a ratou; i neke atu ano te pou kapua i to ratou aroaro, a tu ana i muri i a ratou:

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.

²⁰I haere hoki ki waenganui o te nohoanga o nga Ihipiana, o te nohoanga hoki o Iharaira; a tera te kapua me te pouri, otiia e whakamarama ana ia i te po: a kihai tetahi i whakatata ki tetahi a pau katoa te po.

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.

²¹¶ Na torona atu ana e Mohi tona ringa ki runga i te moana; a panaia ana ki muri e Ihowa te moana ki tetahi hau nui, ki te marangai, a pau noa taua po, na kua maroke te moana, kua tuwhera nga wai.

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.

²²A haere ana nga tama a Iharaira i waenga moana ra te wahi maroke: hei taiepa ano nga wai ki a ratou i te taha ki matau, ki maui.

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.

²³Na ka whai nga Ihipiana, a haere ana i muri i a ratou, nga hoiho katoa a Parao, ana hariata, me ana hoia eke hoiho, ki waenga moana.

²³The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

²⁴A, i to te ata whakaaraara, na, ka titiro a Ihowa ki te ope o nga Ihipiana, i roto i te pou ahi, i te pou kapua, ka whakararu hoki i te ope o nga Ihipiana,

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.

²⁵A whakamareretia ana e ia nga wira o nga hariata, kia puhoi ai te haere: a ka mea nga Ihipiana, Kia oma atu tatou i te aroaro o Iharaira: kei a ratou hoki a Ihowa e whawhai mai ana ki nga Ihipiana.

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!”

²⁶Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Whakamarokia tou ringa ki runga i te moana, kia hoki ai nga wai ki runga ki nga Ihipiana, ki a ratou hariata, ki a ratou hoia eke hoiho.

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.”

²⁷A, ko te whakamarokanga o te ringa o Mohi ki runga i te moana, na takiri rawa ake te ata, kua hoki te moana ki tona tuturutanga; tutataki pu ki nga Ihipiana e rere ana; a taia iho nga Ihipiana e Ihowa ki waenga moana.

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.

²⁸A hoki ana nga wai, taupokina iho nga hariata, me nga hoia eke hoiho, me te ope katoa o Parao, i haere i muri i a ratou ki te moana: kihai rawa tetahi o ratou i toe.

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.

²⁹Tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, i haere ratou ra te wahi maroke i waenganui o te moana; ko nga wai hoki hei taiepa ki a ratou, ki te taha matau, ki te taha maui.

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.

³⁰A, whakaorangia ana e Ihowa a Iharaira i taua ra i nga ringa o nga Ihipiana; a ka kite a Iharaira i nga Ihipiana i te tahatai, he tupapaku katoa.

³⁰Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

³¹A i kite a Iharaira i te mahi nui i mahia e Ihowa ki nga Ihipiana: a ka wehi te iwi a Ihowa, whakapono ana ki a Ihowa, ki tana pononga hoki, ki a Mohi.

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.
