Di Sea Trap Dem
As dem trap between di sea and Pharaoh chariot dem, Israel talk say dem for rather remain slave. Moses tell dem make dem stand still and watch our Papa fight. Di sea divide because of east wind wey blow whole night, Israel waka pass, and di water wey return swallow di army wey follow dem.
14 1Den our Papa talk give Moses say,
2"Tell di Israel people make dem turn back, make dem camp for front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and di sea, for front of Baal-zephon—make dem camp for di sea side, wey dey face am. 3Because Pharaoh go talk about di Israel people say: 'Dem don lost for di land; di wilderness don lock dem inside.' 4I go make Pharaoh heart hard, and e go chase dem; I go collect glory through Pharaoh and im whole army, and Egypt go know say na me be di Papa." And dem do so. a a v4 When Scripture talk say our Papa make Pharaoh heart hard, e dey name im judgment on top one king wey don already hard im own heart against am; Paul dey wrestle wit dis same mystery for Romans 9.
5As dem tell Egypt king say di people don run, Pharaoh and im officials turn against dem: "Wetin be dis wey we don do, wey we let Israel go comot from serving us?" 6So e ready im chariot and carry im people go wit am. 7E carry 600 chariot wey dem pick, wit all di other chariot of Egypt, and officers dey on top all of dem. 8Our Papa make di heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt hard, so e chase di Israel people wey dey comot wit bold face. 9Egypt chase and catch up wit dem as dem camp for di sea side—all Pharaoh horse, chariot, horse-rider, and army—near Pi-hahiroth, wey dey face Baal-zephon.
10As Pharaoh dey near, Israel look up and see say Egypt people dey close up behind dem. Fear catch dem well well, and dem cry give our Papa. 11Dem tell Moses say, "Na because grave no dey for Egypt, wey you carry us come die for di wilderness? Wetin be dis wey you don do us, wey you bring us comot from Egypt? 12Abi we no tell you for Egypt say: 'Leave us make you no dey worry us, make we serve di Egypt people'? To serve dem better pass to die for di wilderness."
13Moses talk give di people say, "No dey fear. Stand strong and see how our Papa go save you today; because di Egypt people wey you dey see today, you no go see dem again, forever. 14Our Papa go fight for una; na just to keep quiet you go do."
15Den our Papa talk give Moses say, "Why you dey cry give me? Tell di Israel people make dem move forward. 16Lift your staff, stretch your hand on top di sea and split am; make di Israel people cross for inside di sea on top dry ground. 17I dey make Egypt heart hard, so dem go follow dem enter inside; I go collect glory through Pharaoh, im whole army, im chariot dem and im horse-rider dem. 18Egypt people go know say na me be di Papa when I collect glory over Pharaoh, im chariot dem, and horse-rider dem."
19Di messenger of our Papa, wey bin dey go for front of Israel camp, move go behind dem; di pillar of cloud comot from dem front and stand behind dem. 20E come between Egypt camp and Israel camp—cloud and darkness, but e still give light for di night—and neither one near di other one di whole night.
21Moses stretch im hand on top di sea. Di whole night our Papa use strong wind from east push am back, e make am dry land. Di water split. 22Di Israel people waka through di middle of di sea on top dry ground, di water be like wall for dem, for right and for left. 23Di Egypt people chase dem enter di middle of di sea—all Pharaoh horse, im chariot dem, and im horse-rider dem. 24Small time before morning break, our Papa look down on di Egypt army through di pillar of fire and cloud, e throway di Egypt army inside confusion. 25E jam dem chariot wheel so dem dey drive wit wahala. Di Egypt people talk say, "Make we run comot from Israel—God dey fight for dem against Egypt!"
26Den our Papa talk give Moses say, "Stretch your hand on top di sea so di water go return cover di Egypt people, cover dem chariot dem, cover dem horse-rider dem."
27Moses stretch im hand on top di sea; as day dey break e return to im full deep. Di Egypt people dey run toward am, and our Papa fling di Egypt people enter inside di sea. 28Di water return and cover di chariot dem and horse-rider dem, all Pharaoh army wey chase dem enter di sea. Not even one survive. 29But di Israel people waka through di middle of di sea on top dry ground, di water be like wall for dem right and left. 30Dat day our Papa save Israel from Egypt hand, and Israel see di Egypt people dead for di sea shore. 31Israel see di great power wey our Papa use against Egypt; dem fear am, and dem trust am and im servant Moses.
