¹Zvino Mozisi navana vaIsiraeri vakaimbira Jehovha rwiyo urwu, vakataura vachiti,

¹Then singeth Moses and the sons of Israel this song to Jehovah, and they speak, saying: — `I sing to Jehovah, For triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath thrown into the sea.

²Jehovha ndiro simba rangu norwiyo rwangu; iye akava ruponeso rwangu; uyu ndiye Mwari wangu, ndichamurumbidza; Mwari wababa vangu, ndichamukudza.

²My strength and song is JAH, And He is become my salvation: This [is] my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I exalt Him.

³Jehovha munhu wokurwa; Jehovha ndiro zita rake.

³Jehovah [is] a man of battle; Jehovah [is] His name.

⁴Akakandira ngoro dzaFarao nehondo yake mugungwa; varwi vake vakasanangurwa vakanyudzwa muGungwa Dzvuku.

⁴Chariots of Pharaoh and his force He hath cast into the sea; And the choice of his captains Have sunk in the Red Sea!

⁵Mvura yakadzika yakavafukidza; vakanyura makadzika sebwe.

⁵The depths do cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.

⁶Rudyi rwenyu, Jehovha, rwakakudzwa nesimba rarwo; rudyi rwenyu, Jehovha, runoputsanya vavengi.

⁶Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Is become honourable in power; Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Doth crush an enemy.

⁷Noumambo bwenyu ukuru munowisira pasi vanokumukirai simba; munotuma kutsamwa kwenyu, kunovapisa sehundi.

⁷And in the abundance of Thine excellency Thou throwest down Thy withstanders, Thou sendest forth Thy wrath — It consumeth them as stubble.

⁸Nokufema kwemhino dzenyu, mvura yakaunganidzwa pamwechete; nzizi dzikamira dzikaita murwi, mvura yakadzika yakagwamba mukati megungwa.

⁸And by the spirit of Thine anger Have waters been heaped together; Stood as a heap have flowings; Congealed have been depths In the heart of a sea.

⁹Muvengi akati, Ndichateverera, ndichavabata, ndichagovera zvandapamba; kuchiva kwangu kuchagutswa navo; ndichavhomora munondo wangu, ruoko rwangu ruchavaparadza.

⁹The enemy said, I pursue, I overtake; I apportion spoil; Filled is my soul with them; I draw out my sword; My hand destroyeth them: —

¹⁰Makafema mweya wenyu, gungwa rikavafukidza, vakanyura somutobvu mumvura ine simba.

¹⁰Thou hast blown with Thy wind The sea hath covered them; They sank as lead in mighty waters.

¹¹Ndianiko akafanana nemi, Jehovha, pakati pavamwari? Ndianiko akafanana nemwi paukuru hwoutsvene, munorumbidzwa muchityisa, munoita zvishamiso?

¹¹Who [is] like Thee among the gods, O Jehovah? Who [is] like Thee — honourable in holiness — Fearful in praises — doing wonders?

¹²Makatambanudza ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, nyika ikavamedza.

¹²Thou hast stretched out Thy right hand — Earth swalloweth them!

¹³Makafambisa nenyasha dzenyu vanhu vamakadzikunura; makavaperekedza nesimba renyu kuugaro bwenyu utsvene.

¹³Thou hast led forth in Thy kindness The people whom Thou hast redeemed. Thou hast led on in Thy strength Unto Thy holy habitation.

¹⁴Vanhu vakanzwa vakadedera, mabayo akawira vanhu vagere Firisitia.

¹⁴Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain hath seized inhabitants of Philistia.

¹⁵Ipapo machinda eEdhomu akashamiswa, kudedera kwakawira vanhu vane simba veMoabhu; vanhu vose vanogara Kanani vakanyauka.

¹⁵Then have chiefs of Edom been troubled: Mighty ones of Moab — Trembling doth seize them! Melted have all inhabitants of Canaan!

¹⁶Kutya nokuvhunduka kwakavawira; vakanyarara sebwe noukuru hworuoko rwenyu; kusvikira vanhu venyu vayambuka, Jehovha, kusvikira vanhu venyu vamakazvitsvakira vayambuka.

¹⁶Fall on them doth terror and dread; By the greatness of Thine arm They are still as a stone, Till Thy people pass over, O Jehovah; Till the people pass over Whom Thou hast purchased.

¹⁷Muchavapinza, nokuvasima pagomo renhaka yenyu, paugaro hwamakazviitira, kuti mugarepo, Jehovha; patsvene pakaitwa namaoko enyu.

¹⁷Thou dost bring them in, And dost plant them In a mountain of Thine inheritance, A fixed place for Thy dwelling Thou hast made, O Jehovah; A sanctuary, O Lord, Thy hands have established;

¹⁸Jehovha achabata ushe nokusingaperi.

¹⁸Jehovah reigneth — to the age, and for ever!`

¹⁹nekuti mabhiza aFarao akapinda mugungwa pamwechete nengoro dzake, navatasvi vake vamabhiza, Jehovha akadzosera mvura yegungwa pamusoro pavo; asi vana vaIsiraeri vakafamba pakaoma mukati megungwa.

¹⁹For the horse of Pharaoh hath gone in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah turneth back on them the waters of the sea, and the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea.

²⁰Zvino Miriami, muporofitakadzi, hanzvadzi yaAroni, akatora gandira muruoko rwake, vakadzi vose vakabuda vakamutevera vanamakandira, vachitamba.

²⁰And Miriam the inspired one, sister of Aaron, taketh the timbrel in her hand, and all the women go out after her, with timbrels and with choruses;

²¹Miriami akavapindura akati, Imbirai Jehovha, nekuti akasimuka nesimba rake; akakandira bhiza nomutasvi waro mugungwa.

²¹and Miriam answereth to them: — `Sing ye to Jehovah, For Triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath thrown into the sea!`

²²Zvino Mozisi akatungamirira vaIsiraeri, vakabva paGungwa Dzvuku, vakaenda kurenje reShuri, vakaita mazuva matatu vachifamba murenje vasingawani mvura.

²²And Moses causeth Israel to journey from the Red Sea, and they go out unto the wilderness of Shur, and they go three days in the wilderness, and have not found water,

²³Vakasvika Mara, asi vakanga vasingagoni kumwa mvura yapaMara, nekuti yakanga ichivava; naizvozvo zita rapo rakanzi Mara.

²³and they come in to Marah, and have not been able to drink the waters of Marah, for they [are] bitter; therefore hath [one] called its name Marah.

²⁴Zvino vanhu vakapopotera Mozisi, vakati, Tichamweiko?

²⁴And the people murmur against Moses, saying, `What do we drink?`

²⁵Iye akachema kuna Jehovha, Jehovha akamuratidza muti, akaukandira mumvura, mvura ikanaka.

²⁵and he crieth unto Jehovah, and Jehovah sheweth him a tree, and he casteth unto the waters, and the waters become sweet. There He hath made for them a statute, and an ordinance, and there He hath tried them,

²⁶akati, Kana uchiteerera nomoyo wose inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, ukaita zvakarurama pamberi pake, ukarerekera nzeve dzako kumirairo yake, ukachengeta zvaakatema zvose, handingaisi pamusoro pako marwadzo andakaisa pamusoro pavaEgipita, nekuti ndini Jehovha murapi wako.

²⁶and He saith, `If thou dost really hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and dost that which is right in His eyes, and hast hearkened to His commands, and kept all His statutes: none of the sickness which I laid on the Egyptians do I lay on thee, for I, Jehovah, am healing thee.

²⁷Zvino vakasvika Erimu, pakanga pana matsime emvura ane gumi namaviri, nemichindwe ina makumi manomwe, vakavakapo misasa pamvura.

²⁷And they come to Elim, and there [are] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamp there by the waters.
