Oluyimba lwa Musa

15 (A)Awo Musa n’abaana ba Isirayiri ne bayimbira Mukama oluyimba luno nga bagamba nti,

“Nnaayimbiranga Mukama,
    kubanga awangudde n’ekitiibwa kingi.
Asudde mu nnyanja
    embalaasi n’omwebagazi waayo.
(B)Mukama ge maanyi gange era lwe luyimba lwange,
    era afuuse obulokozi bwange.
Ye Katonda wange, nange nnaamutenderezanga,
    ye Katonda wa kitange, nange nnaamugulumizanga.
(C)Mukama mulwanyi;
    MUKAMA, ly’erinnya lye.
(D)Amagaali ga Falaawo n’eggye lye
    abisudde mu nnyanja;
n’abaduumizi b’amaggye ge abalondemu
    basaanyeewo mu Nnyanja Emyufu.
(E)Obuziba bubasaanikidde;
    basse okutuuka ku ntobo ng’ejjinja.

(F)“Omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, Ayi Mukama,
    gwalina amaanyi n’ekitiibwa;
omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, Ayi Mukama,
    gwasesebbula omulabe.
(G)Mu bukulu obw’ekitiibwa kyo,
    wamegga abalabe bo,
wabalaga obusungu bwo,
    ne bubasiriiza ng’ebisasiro.
(H)Omukka bwe gwava mu nnyindo zo,
    amazzi ne geetuuma;
    amazzi g’ebuziba ne geekwata ng’ekisenge wakati mu nnyanja.

(I)“Omulabe n’ayogera nti,
    ‘Ka mbagobe, mbakwate.
Nnaagabana omunyago;
    mbeemalireko eggoga.
Nnaasowolayo ekitala kyange,
    ndyoke mbazikirize.’
10 (J)Naye wakunsa embuyaga zo,
    ennyanja n’ebasaanikira.
Bakka ng’ekyuma,
    ne basaanawo mu mazzi amangi ag’amaanyi.
11 (K)Ani akufaanana, Ayi Mukama,
    mu bakatonda bonna?
Ani akufaanana, ggwe,
    Omutukuvu Oweekitiibwa,
atiibwa era atenderezebwa,
    akola ebyamagero?

12 “Wagolola omukono gwo ogwa ddyo,
    ensi n’ebamira.
13 (L)Mu kwagala kwo okutaggwaawo,
    abantu be wanunula olibakulembera.
Mu maanyi go,
    olibatuusa mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu.
14 (M)Amawanga galikiwulira ne gakankana,
    ababeera mu Bufirisuuti balijjula ennaku.
15 (N)Abakungu b’omu Edomu balitangaalirira nga batidde;
    abakulembeze ab’amaanyi aba Mowaabu balikankana;
abatuuze b’omu Kanani baliggwaamu endasi.
16     (O)Okwesisiwala n’entiisa biribajjira.
Olw’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi tebalinyega,
    balisirika ng’ejjinja okutuusa abantu bo lwe baliyitawo, Ayi Mukama,
okutuusa abantu bo, be wanunula,
    lwe baliyitawo.
17 (P)Olibayingiza n’obassa ku lusozi lwo lwe weerondera,
    kye kifo, Ayi Mukama kye weekolera mw’onoobeeranga,
ekifo kyo Ekitukuvu,
    kye weekolera, Ayi Mukama, n’emikono gyo.
18 Mukama anaafuganga
    emirembe n’emirembe.”

Oluyimba lwa Miryamu

19 (Q)Embalaasi za Falaawo, n’amagaali ge, ne basajja be abeebagadde embalaasi bwe baayingira mu nnyanja, Mukama n’akomyawo amazzi ag’ennyanja ne gabasaanikira; naye nga bo abaana ba Isirayiri batambulira ku ttaka kkalu wakati mu nnyanja. 20 (R)Awo Miryamu, nnabbi omukazi era mwannyina wa Alooni, n’akwata ekitaasa; n’abakazi abalala ne bamugoberera nga balina ebitaasa era nga bwe bazina. 21 (S)Miryamu n’abayimbira bw’ati nti,

“Muyimbire Mukama,
    kubanga awangudde n’ekitiibwa kingi.
Asudde mu nnyanja
    embalaasi n’agyebagadde.”

Amazzi g’e Mala n’aga Erimu

22 Awo Musa n’akulembera Isirayiri, n’abaggya ku Nnyanja Emyufu, ne bayingirira eddungu ly’e Ssuuli. Ne batambulira ennaku ssatu mu ddungu nga tebalabye ku mazzi. 23 (T)Bwe baatuuka e Mala, ne batasobola kunywa ku mazzi gaawo, kubanga gaali gakaawa: era eyo y’ensonga eyatuumisa ekifo ekyo Mala. 24 (U)Abantu ne beemulugunyiza Musa, ne bamubuuza nti, “Tunywe ki?”

25 (V)Musa ne yeegayirira Mukama; Mukama n’amulaga ekitundu ky’omuti. Bwe yakisuula mu mazzi, amazzi ne gaba malungi okunywa.

Mu kifo kino Mukama we yabaweera ekiragiro kino n’etteeka, era n’abagezesa 26 (W)ng’agamba nti, “Singa muwuliriza eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wammwe n’obwegendereza, ne mukola ebyo by’alaba nga bituufu, ne mussaayo omwoyo ku biragiro bye, era ne mugondera amateeka ge, sigenda kubaleetako ndwadde n’emu, ng’ezo ze naleetera Abamisiri, kubanga nze Mukama, nze mbawonya endwadde zammwe.”

27 (X)Awo ne batuuka mu Erimu, awaali ensulo ekkumi n’ebbiri, n’enkindu ensanvu; ne bakuba awo eweema zaabwe okumpi n’amazzi.

The Song of Moses and Miriam

15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song(A) to the Lord:

“I will sing(B) to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(C)
    he has hurled into the sea.(D)

“The Lord is my strength(E) and my defense[a];
    he has become my salvation.(F)
He is my God,(G) and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt(H) him.
The Lord is a warrior;(I)
    the Lord is his name.(J)
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army(K)
    he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.[b]
The deep waters(L) have covered them;
    they sank to the depths like a stone.(M)
Your right hand,(N) Lord,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand,(O) Lord,
    shattered(P) the enemy.

“In the greatness of your majesty(Q)
    you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;(R)
    it consumed(S) them like stubble.
By the blast of your nostrils(T)
    the waters piled up.(U)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;(V)
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(W)
The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue,(X) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(Y)
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew with your breath,(Z)
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.(AA)
11 Who among the gods
    is like you,(AB) Lord?
Who is like you—
    majestic in holiness,(AC)
awesome in glory,(AD)
    working wonders?(AE)

12 “You stretch out(AF) your right hand,
    and the earth swallows your enemies.(AG)
13 In your unfailing love you will lead(AH)
    the people you have redeemed.(AI)
In your strength you will guide them
    to your holy dwelling.(AJ)
14 The nations will hear and tremble;(AK)
    anguish(AL) will grip the people of Philistia.(AM)
15 The chiefs(AN) of Edom(AO) will be terrified,
    the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,(AP)
the people[c] of Canaan will melt(AQ) away;
16     terror(AR) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
    they will be as still as a stone(AS)
until your people pass by, Lord,
    until the people you bought[d](AT) pass by.(AU)
17 You will bring(AV) them in and plant(AW) them
    on the mountain(AX) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,(AY)
    the sanctuary,(AZ) Lord, your hands established.

18 “The Lord reigns
    for ever and ever.”(BA)

19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[e] went into the sea,(BB) the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.(BC) 20 Then Miriam(BD) the prophet,(BE) Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels(BF) and dancing.(BG) 21 Miriam sang(BH) to them:

“Sing to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(BI)
    he has hurled into the sea.”(BJ)

The Waters of Marah and Elim

22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert(BK) of Shur.(BL) For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water.(BM) 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.[f](BN)) 24 So the people grumbled(BO) against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”(BP)

25 Then Moses cried out(BQ) to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw(BR) it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.

There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.(BS) 26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep(BT) all his decrees,(BU) I will not bring on you any of the diseases(BV) I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals(BW) you.”

27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped(BX) there near the water.
