出埃及 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
摩西颂赞耶和华
15 那时，摩西和以色列人便歌颂耶和华说：
“我要歌颂耶和华，
因祂大获全胜，
祂把战马骑兵都卷入海中。
2 耶和华是我的力量，我的诗歌，
也成了我的拯救；
祂是我的上帝，我要赞美祂；
祂是我父亲的上帝，我要尊崇祂。
3 耶和华是战士，
祂名叫耶和华。
4 祂把法老的战车和全军都抛进海中，
法老的优秀将领都葬身于红海，
5 大水淹没他们，
他们如同石块沉入深海。
6 耶和华啊，你大能的右手显出荣耀；
耶和华啊，你的右手击碎仇敌。
7 你大显威严，击倒那些起来对抗你的人；
你大发雷霆，他们便像枯草遇火，
一烧而尽。
8 你的鼻孔一呼气，海水便堆聚起来，
洪涛便堆起水墙，海底深处也都凝固。
9 敌人说，‘追啊，追上他们，
瓜分他们的财物，尽情地掳掠他们，
拔出刀来把他们斩尽杀绝。’
10 你叫风一吹，海水就淹没他们，
他们好像铅块一样沉没在怒海中。
11 耶和华啊，万神之中，谁能像你？
谁能像你——威严神圣，
可颂可畏，广行神迹？
12 你伸出右手，大地便吞灭他们。
13 你以不变的爱引领你所救赎的子民，
以大能带他们进入你的圣所。
14 各邦各族听见这些事就发抖，
非利士人也痛苦不堪，
15 以东的族长惶恐，
摩押的英雄颤栗，
迦南的居民都胆战心惊。
16 惊骇恐惧笼罩着他们。
耶和华啊，
你臂膀的大能吓得他们僵立如石，
直到你的子民都安然走过，
直到你买赎的子民都安然走过。
17 耶和华啊，
你要带领自己的子民到你的山上安居——
到你为自己所造的住处，
主啊，到你亲手建的圣所。
18 “耶和华必做王，直到永永远远。”
19 法老的战车和骑兵追到海中，耶和华使海水回流淹没他们，以色列人却在海中踏着干地走到对岸。 20 亚伦的姐姐米利暗是个先知，她手拿小鼓，带领妇女击鼓跳舞， 21 唱道：“要歌颂耶和华，因祂大获全胜，把马和骑兵都抛进海中。”
苦水
22 摩西带领以色列人离开红海，来到书珥旷野，走了三天仍然找不到水喝。 23 到了玛拉，那里的水却是苦的，不能喝。因此那地方叫玛拉[a]。 24 百姓就埋怨摩西说：“我们喝什么呢？” 25 摩西向耶和华呼求，耶和华就指示他把一棵树丢在水中，使水变得甘甜。耶和华又在玛拉给百姓订下一些律例和法令，并在那里试验他们， 26 说：“你们若留心听你们上帝耶和华的话，做我视为正的事，遵守我所订下的律例，我就不把降在埃及的疾病加在你们身上，因为我耶和华是医治你们的上帝。”
27 到了以琳，那里有十二股水泉和七十棵棕树，他们就在水边安营。

Exodus 15
Amplified Bible
The Song of Moses and Israel
15 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this [a]song to the Lord, singing,
“I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously;
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.
2
“The Lord is my strength and my song,
And He has become my salvation;
This is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
3
“The Lord is a warrior;
The Lord is His name.
4
“Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea;
His chosen captains are drowned in the [b]Red Sea.
5
“The deep [water] covers them;
[Clad in armor] they sank into the depths like a stone.
6
“Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.
7
“In the greatness of Your majesty You overthrow and annihilate those [adversaries] who rise [in rebellion] against You;
You send out Your fury, and it consumes them like chaff.
8
“With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up,
The flowing waters stood up like a mound;
The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9
“The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied against them;
I will draw my sword, my hand shall dispossess them and drive them out.’
10
“You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;
[Clad in armor] they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11
“Who is like You among the gods, O Lord?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
Awesome in splendor, working wonders?
12
“You stretched out Your right hand,
The [c]sea swallowed them.
13
“You in Your lovingkindness and goodness have led the people whom You have redeemed;
In Your strength You have guided them with care to Your holy habitation.
14
“The peoples have heard [about You], they tremble;
Anguish and fear has gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.
15
“Then the [tribal] chiefs of Edom were dismayed and horrified;
The [mighty] leaders of Moab, trembling grips them;
All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away [in despair]—
16
Terror and dread fall on them;
Because of the greatness of Your arm they are as still as a stone;
Until Your people pass by and [into Canaan], O Lord,
Until the people pass by whom You have purchased.
17
“You will bring them [into the land of promise] and plant them on the mountain (Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem) of Your inheritance,
The place, O Lord, You have made for Your dwelling [among them],
The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
18
“The Lord shall reign to eternity and beyond.”
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went with his war-chariots and his charioteers into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron [and Moses], took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.(A) 21 Miriam answered them,
“Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously and is highly exalted;
The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.”
The Lord Provides Water
22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went into the Wilderness of Shur; they went [a distance of] three days (about thirty-three miles) in the wilderness and found no water. 23 Then they came to Marah, but they could not drink its waters because they were [d]bitter; therefore it was named Marah (bitter). 24 The people [grew discontented and] grumbled at Moses, saying, “What are we going to drink?” 25 Then he cried to the Lord [for help], and the Lord showed him a tree, [a branch of] which he threw into the waters, and the waters became sweet.
There the Lord made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there [e]He tested them, 26 saying, “If you will diligently listen and pay attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and listen to His commandments, and keep [foremost in your thoughts and actively obey] all His precepts and statutes, then I will not put on you any of the diseases which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the [f]Lord who heals you.”
27 Then the children of Israel came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters.

- Exodus 15:4 Lit Sea of Reeds.
- Exodus 15:12 Lit earth.
- Exodus 15:23 The water may have been like that of the Dead Sea, which has such a high salt content that it is bitter, and the natural reaction when attempting to sample it is to spit it out immediately.
