Éxodo 15
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Cántico triunfal de Moisés
15 Entonces Moisés y los israelitas cantaron este cántico(A) al Señor, y dijeron:
«Canto al Señor porque ha triunfado gloriosamente(B);
Al caballo y a su jinete ha arrojado al mar(C).
2 -»Mi fortaleza y mi canción es el Señor[a],
Y ha sido para mí salvación(D);
Este es mi Dios(E), y lo glorificaré,
El Dios de mi padre(F), y lo ensalzaré(G).
3 -»El Señor es fuerte guerrero(H);
El Señor[b] es Su nombre(I).
4 -»Los carros de Faraón y su ejército arrojó al mar(J),
Y los mejores de sus oficiales se ahogaron[c] en el mar Rojo[d].
5 -»Los abismos los cubren;
Descendieron a las profundidades como una piedra(K).
6 -»Tu diestra, oh Señor, es majestuosa en poder(L);
Tu diestra, oh Señor, destroza al enemigo(M).
7 -»En la grandeza de Tu excelencia[e] derribas a los que se levantan contra Ti(N);
Envías Tu furor, y los consumes como paja(O).
8 -»Al soplo de Tu aliento[f] se amontonaron las aguas(P),
Se juntaron las corrientes como en un montón(Q);
Se cuajaron los abismos en el corazón del mar.
9 -»El enemigo dijo: “Perseguiré, alcanzaré(R), repartiré el despojo(S);
Se cumplirá mi deseo contra[g] ellos;
Sacaré mi espada, los destruirá mi mano”.
10 -»Soplaste con Tu viento, los cubrió el mar(T);
Se hundieron como plomo en las aguas poderosas[h](U).
11 -»¿Quién como Tú entre los dioses, oh Señor(V)?
¿Quién como Tú, majestuoso en santidad(W),
Temible en las alabanzas(X), haciendo maravillas(Y)?
12 -»Extendiste Tu diestra(Z),
Los tragó la tierra.
13 -»En Tu misericordia has guiado al pueblo(AA) que has redimido(AB);
Con Tu poder los has guiado a Tu santa morada(AC).
14 -»Lo han oído los pueblos y tiemblan(AD);
El pavor se ha apoderado de los habitantes de Filistea.
15 -»Entonces se turbaron los príncipes de Edom(AE);
Los valientes[i] de Moab se sobrecogieron de temblor(AF);
Se acobardaron[j] todos los habitantes de Canaán(AG).
16 -»Terror y espanto cae sobre ellos(AH);
Por la grandeza de Tu brazo quedan inmóviles, como piedra(AI),
Hasta que Tu pueblo pasa, oh Señor,
Hasta que pasa el pueblo que Tú has comprado(AJ).
17 -»Tú los traerás(AK) y los plantarás(AL) en el monte de Tu heredad(AM),
El lugar que has hecho para Tu morada, oh Señor(AN),
El santuario, oh Señor, que Tus manos han establecido(AO).
18 -»El Señor reinará para siempre(AP)».
19 Porque los caballos de Faraón con sus carros y sus jinetes entraron en el mar, y el Señor hizo volver sobre ellos las aguas del mar(AQ). Pero los israelitas anduvieron por en medio del mar(AR) sobre tierra seca. 20 Miriam la profetisa, hermana de Aarón(AS), tomó en su mano el pandero(AT), y todas las mujeres salieron tras ella con panderos y danzas(AU). 21 Y Miriam les respondía:
«Canten al Señor porque ha triunfado gloriosamente;
Al caballo y su jinete ha arrojado al mar(AV)».
Las aguas de Mara
22 Moisés hizo partir a Israel(AW) del mar Rojo[k], y salieron hacia el desierto(AX) de Shur(AY). Anduvieron tres días en el desierto y no encontraron agua. 23 Cuando llegaron a Mara(AZ) no pudieron beber las aguas de Mara porque eran amargas[l]. Por tanto al lugar le pusieron el nombre de Mara[m]. 24 El pueblo murmuró contra Moisés(BA) diciendo: «¿Qué beberemos?».
25 Entonces Moisés clamó al Señor(BB), y el Señor le mostró un árbol(BC). Él lo echó en las aguas, y las aguas se volvieron dulces. Y Dios les dio[n] allí un estatuto y una ordenanza(BD), y allí los puso a prueba(BE). 26 Y Dios les dijo: «Si escuchas atentamente la voz del Señor tu Dios(BF), y haces lo que es recto ante Sus ojos, y escuchas Sus mandamientos, y guardas todos Sus estatutos(BG), no te enviaré ninguna de las enfermedades que envié sobre los egipcios(BH). Porque Yo, el Señor, soy tu sanador(BI)».
27 Entonces llegaron a Elim, donde había doce fuentes de agua y setenta palmeras[o], y acamparon allí junto a las aguas(BJ).

Exodus 15
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Song of Moses
15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:
“I will sing to the Lord.
He has won a glorious victory.
He has thrown horses and their riders into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength and my song.
He is my Savior.
This is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will honor him.
3 The Lord is a warrior!
The Lord is his name.
4 He has thrown Pharaoh’s chariots and army into the sea.
Pharaoh’s best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The deep water covered them.
They sank to the bottom like a rock.
6 Your right hand, O Lord, wins glory because it is strong.
Your right hand, O Lord, smashes your enemies.
7 With your unlimited majesty, you destroyed those who attacked you.
You sent out your burning anger.
It burned them up like straw.
8 With a blast from your nostrils, the water piled up.
The waves stood up like a dam.
The deep water thickened in the middle of the sea.
9 “The enemy said, ‘I’ll pursue them!
I’ll catch up with them!
I’ll divide the loot!
I’ll take all I want!
I’ll use my sword!
I’ll take all they have!’
10 Your breath blew the sea over them.
They sank like lead in the raging water.
11 “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord?
Who is like you?
You are glorious because of your holiness
and awe-inspiring because of your splendor.
You perform miracles.
12 You stretched out your right hand.
The earth swallowed them.
13 “Lovingly, you will lead the people you have saved.
Powerfully, you will guide them to your holy dwelling.
14 People will hear of it and tremble.
The people of Philistia will be in anguish.
15 The tribal leaders of Edom will be terrified.
The powerful men of Moab will tremble.
The people of Canaan will be deathly afraid.
16 Terror and dread will fall on them.
Because of the power of your arm, they will be petrified
until your people pass by, O Lord,
until the people you purchased pass by.
17 You will bring them and plant them on your own mountain,
the place where you live, O Lord,
the holy place that you built with your own hands, O Lord.
18 The Lord will rule as king forever and ever.”
19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and cavalry went into the sea, the Lord made the water of the sea flow back over them. However, the Israelites had gone through the sea on dry ground.
The Song of Miriam
20 Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand. All the women, dancing with tambourines, followed her. 21 Miriam sang to them:
“Sing to the Lord.
He has won a glorious victory.
He has thrown horses and their riders into the sea.”
God Provides Water for the Israelites
22 Moses led Israel away from the Red Sea into the desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. 23 When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink the water because it tasted bitter. That’s why the place was called Marah [Bitter Place]. 24 The people complained about Moses by asking, “What are we supposed to drink?”
25 Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed [a] him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.
There the Lord set down laws and rules for them to live by, and there he tested them. 26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what he considers right, if you pay attention to his commands and obey all his laws, I will never make you suffer any of the diseases I made the Egyptians suffer, because I am the Lord, who heals you.”
27 Next, they went to Elim, where there were 12 springs and 70 palm trees. They camped there by the water.

New International Version
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)
2 “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.
3 The Lord is a warrior;(I)
the Lord is his name.(J)
4 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]
5 The deep waters(L) have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone.(M)
6 Your right hand,(N) Lord,
was majestic in power.
Your right hand,(O) Lord,
shattered(P) the enemy.
7 “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.
8 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)
9 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.
