1 T hen the Lord said to Moses,

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

2 “ Tell the people of Israel to turn around and set up their tents in front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. Set up your tents in front of Baal-zephon, beside the sea.

Korero 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.

3 F or Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They have lost their way. The desert has shut them in.’

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

4 I will make Pharaoh’s heart hard. And he will try to catch them. So I will be honored through Pharaoh and his whole army. Then the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

A 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.

5 W hen the king of Egypt was told that the people had left, Pharaoh and his servants changed their minds about the people. They said, “What is this we have done? We have let Israel go from working for us.”

A 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?

6 S o he made his war-wagon ready and took his people with him.

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

7 H e took 600 of the best war-wagons, and all the other war-wagons of Egypt in the care of leaders.

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

8 T he Lord made the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt hard. And Pharaoh went to catch the people of Israel, who were leaving without fear.

Na 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.

9 T he Egyptians followed them with all the horses and war-wagons of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army. And they came to them at their tents by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.

Na 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.

10 W hen Pharaoh came near, the people of Israel looked and saw the Egyptians coming after them. And they were filled with fear and cried out to the Lord.

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.

11 T hen they said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the desert? What have you done to us, in bringing us out of Egypt?

A 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?

12 D id we not tell you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die here.”

Ehara 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.

13 B ut Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be strong, and see how the Lord will save you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today, you will never see again.

Na 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.

14 T he Lord will fight for you. All you have to do is keep still.”

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

15 T hen the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to keep going.

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:

16 L ift up your special stick and put out your hand over the sea, and divide it. Then the people of Israel will go through the sea on dry land.

Na 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.

17 I will make the Egyptians’ hearts hard, so they will go after them. And I will be honored through Pharaoh and his whole army, his war-wagons and his horsemen.

A 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.

18 T he Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I am honored through Pharaoh, his war-wagons and his horsemen.”

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

19 T hen the Angel of God, who had been going in front of the army of Israel, moved and went behind them. The cloud moved from the front of them and stood behind them.

Na 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:

20 I t came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light at night. And the one army did not come near the other all night.

I 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.

21 T hen Moses put out his hand over the sea. And the Lord moved the sea all night by a strong east wind. So the waters were divided.

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.

22 A nd the people of Israel went through the sea on dry land. The waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left.

A 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.

23 T hen the Egyptians followed them. All Pharaoh’s horses and war-wagons and horsemen went in the sea after them.

Na 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.

24 I n the morning hours, the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army through the fire and cloud. And He made the Egyptian army afraid.

A, 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,

25 H e made the wheels of their war-wagons come off, so it was hard for the wagons to be moved. So the Egyptians said, “Let us run away from Israel. For the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”

A 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.

26 T hen the Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand over the sea. And the waters will flow over the Egyptians, and over their war-wagons and their horsemen.”

Na 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.

27 A nd when the morning came, the Egyptians ran into the wall of water as the sea returned to the way it was before. The Lord destroyed the Egyptians in the sea.

A, 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.

28 T he waters returned and covered the war-wagons and the horsemen and Pharaoh’s whole army that had gone in the sea after them. Not even one of them was left.

A 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.

29 B ut the people of Israel walked on dry land through the sea. The waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left.

Tena 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.

30 S o the Lord saved Israel that day from the Egyptians. And Israel saw the Egyptians dead beside the sea.

A, 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.

31 I srael saw the great power which the Lord had used against the Egyptians. And the people had fear of the Lord. They believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses.

A 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.
