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

¹Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, “I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

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

²Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

³Jehovha munhu wokurwa; Jehovha ndiro zita rake.

³Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.

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

⁴He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

⁵Mvura yakadzika yakavafukidza; vakanyura makadzika sebwe.

⁵The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

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

⁶Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.

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

⁷In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.

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

⁸With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

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

⁹The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.’

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

¹⁰You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

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

¹¹Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

¹²Makatambanudza ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, nyika ikavamedza.

¹²You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

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

¹³“You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.

¹⁴Vanhu vakanzwa vakadedera, mabayo akawira vanhu vagere Firisitia.

¹⁴The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

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

¹⁵Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

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

¹⁶Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone— until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people pass over who you have purchased.

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

¹⁷You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

¹⁸Jehovha achabata ushe nokusingaperi.

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 horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

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

²⁰Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.

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

²¹Miriam answered them, “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

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

²²Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

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

²³When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah. Marah means bitter.

²⁴Zvino vanhu vakapopotera Mozisi, vakati, Tichamweiko?

²⁴The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

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

²⁵Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested 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 said, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you.”

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

²⁷They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
