摩西之歌

15 那時,摩西和以色列人向耶和華唱了以下這首歌,說:

“我要向耶和華歌唱,因為他高高地被高舉起來;他把馬匹和騎馬的投在海中。

耶和華是我的力量,我的詩歌,也成了我的拯救;

這是我的 神,我要讚美他;

他是我父的 神,我要尊崇他。

耶和華是戰士,他的名是耶和華。

他把法老的馬車和軍兵都投在海裡,法老特選的官長都沉在紅海中。

波濤淹沒了他們,他們好像石頭墜到深海。

耶和華啊,你的右手滿有榮耀和能力;耶和華啊,你的右手擊碎了仇敵。

你以莫大的威榮,毀滅了那些起來攻擊你的人;你發出烈怒,把他們燒滅像燒禾稭一樣。

你鼻孔中的氣一發,海水就堆聚起來;水流直立像堤壩,深淵凝結於海心。

仇敵說:‘我要追趕,我要追上,我要均分擄物;我要在他們身上得到滿足;我要拔出刀來,親手趕絕他們。’

10 你用風一吹,海就把他們淹沒,他們就像鉛一樣沉在大水之中。

11 耶和華啊,萬神之中有誰像你呢?

有誰像你榮耀聖潔,可頌可畏,施行奇事呢?

12 你伸出右手,地就吞沒他們。

13 你憑著慈愛,帶領了你買贖的人民;你憑著能力,引導了他們到你的聖所。

14 萬民聽見,就必戰抖;疼痛恐懼抓住了非利士的居民。

15 那時,以東的族長驚惶,摩押的英雄被戰兢抓住,所有迦南的居民都膽戰心寒。

16 恐懼戰兢臨到他們身上;因著你大能的手臂,他們像石頭一樣寂然不動;直到你的人民過去,耶和華啊,直到你買贖的人民過去。

17 你要把他們領進去,栽種在你產業的山上,耶和華啊,就是在你為自己預備的住處;主啊,就是在你手建立的聖所上。

18 耶和華必作王,直到永永遠遠。”

米利暗之歌

19 因為法老的馬匹、戰車和馬兵進到海中去的時候,耶和華使海水回流到他們身上;以色列人卻在海中走乾地。 20 亞倫的姊姊女先知米利暗,手裡拿著鼓;所有的婦女都跟著她出來,擊鼓跳舞。 21 米利暗應和著她們說:“你們要向耶和華歌唱,因為他高高地被高舉起來,他把馬匹和騎馬的投在海中。”

瑪拉苦水

22 摩西命以色列人從紅海起程,到書珥曠野去;他們在曠野走了三天,找不著水。 23 後來到了瑪拉,瑪拉的水卻不能喝,因為水苦。因此,那地名叫瑪拉。 24 人民就向摩西發怨言,說:“我們喝甚麼呢?” 25 摩西向耶和華呼叫,耶和華就向他指示一棵樹;他把樹丟進水裡,水就變甜了。耶和華在那裡為他們立了律例和典章,也在那裡試驗了他們。 26 耶和華又說:“如果你留意聽耶和華你 神的聲音,行他眼中看為正的事,側耳聽他的誡命,遵守他的一切律例;這樣,我決不把加在埃及人身上的一切疾病加在你們身上,因為我是醫治你的耶和華。”

以琳水泉

27 後來他們到了以琳,那裡有十二股水泉,七十棵棕樹。他們就在那裡靠近水邊的地方安營。

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。
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。
耶和华是战士,
祂名叫耶和华。
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,
大水淹没他们,
他们如同石块沉入深海。
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。
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。
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。
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。

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.
