摩西之歌

15 那时,摩西以色列人向耶和华唱这歌,说:

“我要向耶和华歌唱,因他大大得胜,
将马和骑马的投在海中。
耶和华是我的力量,是我的诗歌,
他也成了我的拯救。
这是我的 神,我要赞美他;
我父亲的 神,我要尊崇他。
耶和华是战士;
耶和华是他的名。

“法老的战车、军兵,他已抛在海中;
法老精选的军官都沉于红海
深水淹没他们;
他们好像石头坠到深处。
耶和华啊,你的右手施展能力,大显荣耀;
耶和华啊,你的右手摔碎仇敌。
你大发威严,摧毁了你的敌人;
你发出烈怒,吞灭他们如同碎秸。
因你鼻中的气,水就聚成堆,
大水竖立如垒,
海的中心深水凝结。
仇敌说:‘我要追赶,我要追上,
我要分掳物,在他们身上满足我的心愿,
我要拔刀,亲手毁灭他们。’
10 你用风一吹,海水就淹没他们;
他们像铅沉在大水之中。

11 “耶和华啊,众神明中,谁能像你?
谁能像你,至圣至荣,
可颂可畏,施行奇事!
12 你伸出右手,
地就吞灭他们。

13 “你以慈爱引领你所救赎的百姓;
你以能力引导他们到你的圣所。
14 万民听见就战抖;
疼痛抓住非利士的居民。
15 那时,以东的族长惊惶,
摩押的英雄被战兢抓住,
迦南所有的居民都融化。
16 惊骇恐惧临到他们;
耶和华啊,因你膀臂的大能,
他们如石头寂静不动,
等候你百姓过去,
等候你所赎的百姓过去。
17 你要将他们领进去,栽在你产业的山上,
耶和华啊,就是你为自己所造的住处,
主啊,就是你手所建立的圣所。
18 耶和华必作王,直到永永远远!”

19 法老的马匹、战车和战车长下到海中,耶和华使海水回流到他们身上;以色列人却走在海中的干地上。

米利暗的歌

20 那时,米利暗女先知,亚伦的姊姊,手里拿着铃鼓;众妇女也跟她出去打鼓跳舞。 21 米利暗回应他们:

“你们要歌颂耶和华,因他大大得胜,
将马和骑马的投在海中。”

苦水变甜

22 摩西以色列人从红海起程,到了书珥的旷野,在旷野走了三天,找不到水。 23 到了玛拉,他们不能喝玛拉的水,因为水是苦的;所以那地名叫玛拉 24 百姓就向摩西发怨言,说:“我们喝什么呢?” 25 摩西呼求耶和华,耶和华指示他一棵树[a]。他把树丢在水里,水就变甜了。

耶和华在那里为他们定了律例、典章,在那里考验他们。 26 他说:“你若留心听从耶和华—你 神的话,行我眼中看为正的事,侧耳听我的诫令,遵守我一切的律例,我就不将所加于埃及人的疾病加在你身上,因为我是医治你的耶和华。”

27 他们到了以琳,在那里有十二股水泉,七十棵棕树;他们就在那里的水边安营。

Song of Moses and Miriam

15 Then Moses and Bnei-Yisrael sang this song to Adonai:[a]

I will sing to Adonai, for He is highly exalted!
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.
Adonai is my strength and song,
and He has become my salvation.[b]
This is my God, and I will glorify Him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
Adonai is a warrior—Adonai is His Name!
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army
    He has hurled into the sea,
    and his chosen captains have sunk
        into the Sea of Reeds.
The deeps cover them.
    They sank to the depths like a stone.
Your right hand, Adonai, is glorious in power.
    Your right hand, Adonai, dashes the enemy to pieces.
In the greatness of Your excellency
    You overthrow those who resist You.
    You send forth Your wrath—
    it consumes them as stubble.
With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up.
    The floods stood upright as a heap.
    The deeps became firm ground in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, “I will pursue,
    I will overtake, I will divide the spoil.
    My lust shall gorge on them!
    I will draw my sword—my hand will destroy them.”
10 You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them.
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like You, Adonai, among the gods?
Who is like You,
    glorious in holiness,
    awesome in praises,
    doing wonders?[c]
12 You stretched out Your right hand,
the earth swallowed them.
13 You in Your lovingkindness
led the people You have redeemed.
You guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.
14 When the peoples hear, they will tremble—
    anguish will seize
    the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom are terrified.
Trembling grips Moab’s mighty men.
All of Canaan’s inhabitants will melt away.
16 Terror and dread will fall on them.
By the greatness of Your arm they become still as a stone,
till Your people cross over, Adonai,
till the people whom You purchased cross over.
17 You bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance,
    the place, Adonai, that You have made
        for Yourself to dwell in—
    the Sanctuary, Adonai,
        which Your hands have prepared.
18 Adonai will reign forever and ever!

19 For Pharaoh’s horses with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, but Adonai brought the waters of the sea back over them. Yet Bnei-Yisrael walked in the midst of the sea on dry ground. 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing, 21 as Miriam sang to them:

Sing to Adonai, for He is highly exalted!
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!

Bitter Waters Made Sweet

22 Then Moses led Israel onward from the Sea of Reeds. They went out into the wilderness of Shur. But they travelled three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink from the waters because they were bitter. On account of this it was called Marah. 24 So the people complained to Moses saying, “What are we going to drink?”

25 So he cried out to Adonai, and Adonai showed him a tree. When he threw it into the waters, they were made sweet.

There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them. 26 He said, “If you diligently listen to the voice of Adonai your God, do what is right in His eyes, pay attention to His mitzvot, and keep all His decrees, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians. For I am Adonai who heals you.”

27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. So they camped there by the waters.

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.
