¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Udza vana vaIsiraeri, kuti vadzoke, vavake misasa yavo pamberi paPihahiroti, pakati peMigodhori negungwa, pamberi peBhaarizefoni; muvake misasa yenyu pagungwa pakatarisana napo.

²Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon: over against it shall ye encamp by the sea.

³Zvino Farao achati pamusoro pavana vaIsiraeri, Varasa nzira panyika, renje ravadzivirira.

³And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

⁴Ndichaomesa moyo waFarao kuti avateverere; ini ndichakudzwa pamusoro paFarao napahondo yake yose; vaEgipita vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha. Vakaita saizvozvo.

⁴And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host: and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so.

⁵Zvino mambo weEgipita akaudzwa kuti vanhu vatiza; moyo waFarao nowavaranda vake ukashandukira vanhu, vakati, Taita seiko zvatatendera vaIsiraeri vakanga vachitibatira kuti vaende?

⁵And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were 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?

⁶Zvino akagadzira ngoro yake, akaenda navanhu vake;

⁶And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:

⁷akatora ngoro dzakatsaurwa dzina mazana matanhatu, nengoro dzose dzeEgipita, dzina vatariri vadzo dzose.

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

⁸Jehovha akaomesa moyo waFarao, mambo weEgipita, akateverera vana vaIsiraeri, nekuti vana vaIsiraeri vakanga vabuda noruoko rune simba.

⁸And Jehovah 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.

⁹VaEgipita vakavateverera namabhiza ose nengoro dzaFarao, navatasvi vake vamabhiza, nehondo yake, vakavabata vachiri pamisasa pagungwa, paPihahiroti pamberi peBhaarizefoni.

⁹And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.

¹⁰Zvino Farao akati asvika pedo, vana valsiraeri vakasimudza meso avo, vakaona vaEgipita vachivateverera, vakatya kwazvo; vana vaIsiraeri vakachema kuna Jehovha.

¹⁰And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah.

¹¹Vakati kuna Mozisi, Makanga muchiti hamuna mahwiro paEgipita, mukatibvisako kuti tifire murenje here? Makatiitireiko zvamatibudisa paEgipita?

¹¹And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

¹²Ko harizi shoko iro ratakakuudzai paEgipita here, tichiti, Tiregei, tibatire hedu vaEgipita? Nekuti zviri nani kuti tibatire vaEgipita, pakuti tifire murenje.

¹²Is not this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let 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.

¹³Zvino Mozisi akati kuvanhu, Musatya henyu, mirai, mugoona sununguro yaJehovha, yaachakuitirai nhasi, nekuti vaEgipita vamaona nhasi, hamungazovaonizve nokusingaperi.

¹³And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

¹⁴Jehovha achakurwirai, imwi munofanira kunyarara henyu.

¹⁴Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

¹⁵Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Unodanidzireiko kwandiri? Udza vana valsiraeri kuti vapfuurire mberi.

¹⁵And Jehovah said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.

¹⁶Iwe simudza tsvimbo yako, utambanudzire ruoko rwako pamusoro pegungwa, uritsemure napakati, kuti vana vaIsiraeri vafambe pakaoma mukati megungwa.

¹⁶And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.

¹⁷Tarira, ndichaomesa moyo yavaEgipita, kuti vapindewo vachivateverera, ini ndizokudzwa pamusoro paFarao napamusoro pehondo yake yose, napamusoro pengoro dzake, napamusoro pavatasvi vake vamabhiza.

¹⁷And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

¹⁸Ipapo vaEgipita vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndakudzwa pamusoro paFarao, napamusoro pengoro dzake, napamusoro pavatasvi vake vamabhiza.

¹⁸And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

¹⁹Zvino mutumwa waMwari, akanga akatungamirira hondo yavaIsiraeri, akabvapo, akaenda shure kwavo; shongwe yegore ikabva mberi kwavo, ikandomira shure kwavo.

¹⁹And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them:

²⁰Ikapinda pakati pemisasa yavaEgipita nemisasa yavaIsiraeri; gore nerima, zvikavapo asi rakavhenekera usiku; havana kuswederana usiku hwose.

²⁰and it 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 came not near the other all the night.

²¹Zvino Mozisi akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, Jehovha akadzinga gungwa nemhepo ine simba, yakabva mabvazuva usiku hwose, akashandura gungwa, rikaita ivhu rakaoma, mvura ikatsemuka.

²¹And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah 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.

²²Zvino vana valsiraeri vakapinda nomukati megungwa pakaoma, mvura ikavaitira madziro kurudyi rwavo nokuruboshwe rwavo.

²²And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

²³vakavateverera, vakapinda shure kwavo mukati megungwa namabhiza aFarao ose, nengoro dzake navatasvi vake vamabhiza.

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

²⁴Mangwanani Jehovha akatarira hondo yavaEgipita, ari mushongwe yomoto neyegore, akavhundusa hondo yavaEgipita.

²⁴And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians.

²⁵Akanyudza makumbo engoro dzavo, dzikatambudzika pakufamba; vaEgipita vakazoti, Ngatitize pamberi pavaIsiraeri, nekuti Jehovha anovarwira ivo, asi anorwa navaEgipita.

²⁵And he took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for Jehovah fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

²⁶Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Tambanudzira ruoko rwako pamusoro pegungwa, kuti mvura idzokere pamusoro pavaEgipita, napamusoro pengoro dzavo, napamusoro pavatasvi vavo vamabhiza.

²⁶And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

²⁷Mozisi akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, gungwa rikadzokera kwakare koedza; vaEgipita vakatizira mukati maro; Jehovha akaparadza vaEgipita mukati megungwa;

²⁷And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

²⁸mvura ikadzoka, ikafukidza ngoro, navatasvi vamabhiza, nehondo yose yaFarao yakanga yapinda mugungwa ichivateverera; hakuna kusara kunyange nomumwe wavo.

²⁸And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them.

²⁹Asi vana vaIsiraeri vakafamba pakaoma mukati megungwa; mvura ikavaitira madziro kurudyi rwavo nokuruboshwe rwavo.

²⁹But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

³⁰Jehovha akarwira vaIsiraeri saizvozvo nomusi iwoyo pamaoko avaEgipita; vaIsiraeri vakaona vaEgipita vakanga vafa pamahombekombe egungwa.

³⁰Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.

³¹Ipapo vana vaIsiraeri vakaona basa guru rakanga raitirwa vaEgipita naJehovha, vanhu vakatya Jehovha, vakatenda Jehovha naMozisi muranda wake.

³¹And Israel saw the great work which Jehovah did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared Jehovah: and they believed in Jehovah, and in his servant Moses.
