1Pea naʻe toki hiva ʻe Mōsese mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae hiva ni kia Sihova, ʻonau pehē, “Te u hiva kia Sihova, he kuo ne ikuna fakamanavahē: ko e hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai kuo ne lī ki loto tahi.
1Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spoke, saying: I will sing unto the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.
2Ko hoku mālohi mo ʻeku hiva ʻa Sihova, pea kuo hoko ia ko hoku fakamoʻui: ho hoku ʻOtua ia, pea teu teuteu moʻona ʻae fale nofoʻanga; ko e ʻOtua ia ʻo ʻeku tamai, pea te u fakahikihiki ia.
2The LORD is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation; this is my God, and I will glorify Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him.
3ʻOku toʻa ʻa Sihova ʻi he tau: ko Sihova hono huafa.
3The LORD is a man of war, The LORD is His name.
4“Ko e ngaahi saliote ʻa Felo mo ʻene kautau kuo ne lī ki tahi: ko ʻene ngaahi ʻeikitau ongoongo kuo ne lōmakiʻi foki ʻi he tahi Kulokula.
4Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath He cast into the sea, and his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
5Kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he loloto naʻa nau ngalo hifo ki he kilisi tahi ʻo hangē ko e foʻi maka.
5The deeps cover them — they went down into the depths like a stone.
6“Ko ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻe Sihova kuo ongoongolelei lahi ʻi he mālohi; ko ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻe Sihova kuo ne laiki ke iikiiki ʻae fili.
6Thy right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, Thy right hand, O LORD, dasheth in pieces the enemy.
7Pea ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi kuo ke fulihi ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻu hake kiate koe: naʻa ke fekau atu ho houhau, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e veve.
7And in the greatness of Thine excellency Thou overthrowest them that rise up against Thee; Thou sendest forth Thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.
8Pea ʻi he mānava mālohi ʻo hoʻo fofonga, naʻe tānaki fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi vai, naʻe tuʻu totonu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ha ʻesi, pea naʻe mohe ʻae loloto ʻi loto tahi.
8And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were piled up — the floods stood upright as a heap; the deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9Naʻe pehē ʻe he fili, ‘Te u tuli, te u lavaʻi, te u vahevahe ʻae koloa ʻoe vete; ʻe mākona ʻeku holi kiate kinautolu; teu unuhi hake ʻeku heletā, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe hoku nima ʻakinautolu.’
9The enemy said: 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
10Naʻa ke ifi ʻaki hoʻo matangi, pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tahi: naʻa nau ngalo hifo ʻo hangē ko e ukamea ʻi he loto moana.
10Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11ʻE Sihova ko hai ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua, ʻoku tatau mo e ʻafiona? Ko hai ʻoku hangē ko e ʻafiona, ʻoku ke nāunauʻia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ke fakamanavahē ʻi he fakamālō, ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo?
11Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the mighty? who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12Naʻa ke mafao atu ho nima toʻomataʻu, naʻe folo hifo ʻakinautolu ʻe he kelekele.
12Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand — the earth swallowed them.
13“Naʻe tataki atu ʻe he ʻafiona ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻae kakai ʻaia naʻa ke huhuʻi: kuo ke fakahinohino ʻakinautolu ʻi hoʻo māfimafi ki ho ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.

15ʻE ofo ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo ʻItomi; ʻe pukea ʻi he tetetete ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻo Moape; ʻe fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kēnani.
15Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighted; the mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
16ʻE tō ʻae manavahē mo e ilifia kiate kinautolu: ʻi hono lahi ʻo ho nima te nau longo mate pe ʻo hangē ha maka: kaeʻoua ke hoko atu ho kakai, ʻE Sihova, ke ʻoua ke hoko atu ʻae kakai, ʻaia kuo ke fakatau:
16Terror and dread falleth upon them; by the greatness of Thine arm they are as still as a stone; till Thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over that Thou hast gotten.
17Pea te ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki ai, ʻo tō ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ho tofiʻa, ʻi he potu, ʻe Sihova, ʻaia kuo ke teuʻi ke ke ʻafio ki ai, ʻi he Potu toputapu, ʻE ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ho nima.
17Thou bringest them in, and plantest them in the mountain of Thine inheritance, the place, O LORD, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hands have established.

18The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
19He naʻe ʻalu ʻae hoosi ʻa Felo mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi ki tahi, pea naʻe toe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu; ka naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he mōmoa ʻi loto tahi.

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

21And Miriam sang unto them: Sing ye to the LORD, for He is highly exalted: the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.
22¶ Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻIsileli mei he tahi Kulokula, pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ki he toafa ʻo Sua; pea naʻa nau fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻi he toafa, pea ʻikai ʻilo ha vai.

24And the people murmured against Moses, saying: 'What shall we drink?'
25Pea naʻe tangi ia kia Sihova, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻakau, ʻaia naʻa ne lī ki he vai, pea naʻe melie ai ʻae vai: pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni, mo ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.
25And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them;
26ʻO ne pehē, “Kapau te ke faʻa tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mo ke fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi hono ʻao, mo ke fanongo ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo tauhi ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻai kiate koe hā mahaki ʻe taha, ʻi he ngaahi mahaki, ʻaia naʻaku ʻomi ki he kakai ʻIsipite: he ko au Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamoʻui koe.”
