出埃及 14
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以色列人过红海
14 耶和华告诉摩西说: 2 “你要吩咐以色列人转回过来,在比.哈希录前,密夺和海之间安营;你们要在巴力.洗分前,对着巴力.洗分,靠近海边的地方安营。 3 法老必论到以色列人的事,说:‘他们在这地走迷了路,旷野把他们困住了。’ 4 我要使法老的心刚硬,他就必追赶他们;这样,我就可以在法老身上和他的全军身上得到荣耀,埃及人就必知道我是耶和华。”于是以色列人就这样行了。
5 有人告诉埃及王说:“以色列人逃走了。”法老和他的臣仆对以色列人的心就改变了,他们说:“我们让以色列人离开,不再服事我们,我们作了甚么事呢?” 6 法老就预备他的马车,带着他的人民一同去, 7 并且带着六百辆特选的马车和埃及所有的马车,每辆马车上都有马车长。 8 耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬,法老就追赶以色列人;因为以色列人是靠着耶和华高举的手出来的。 9 埃及人追赶他们,法老所有的马匹、战车和他的马兵与军队,就在海边,靠近比.哈希录,对着巴力.洗分他们安营的地方追上了他们。
10 法老走近的时候,以色列人举目观看,看见埃及人正追赶过来,就非常惧怕,向耶和华呼求。 11 他们对摩西说:“难道埃及没有坟墓,你要把我们带来死在旷野吗?你为甚么这样待我们,把我们从埃及领出来呢? 12 我们在埃及的时候,不是对你说过:‘不要管我们,我们要服事埃及人’这话吗?因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。” 13 摩西对人民说:“不要惧怕,要站着,观看耶和华今天为你们施行的拯救;因为你们今天看见的埃及人,必永远不再看见了。 14 耶和华必为你们争战,你们必须安静,不要作声。”
15 耶和华对摩西说:“你为甚么向我呼求呢?吩咐以色列人往前走。 16 你要把你的杖举起来,向海伸手,把海分开,叫以色列人下到海中走干地。 17 看哪,我要使埃及人的心刚硬,他们就必跟着以色列人下去;这样,我必在法老和他的全军身上,以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀。 18 我在法老身上,以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀的时候,埃及人就知道我是耶和华。” 19 在以色列营前行走的 神的使者,转到他们后面去;云柱也从他们前面转过去,立在他们后面。 20 云柱来到埃及营和以色列营中间;云柱一边是黑暗的,一边却光照着黑夜。这样整夜彼此都不能接近。
21 摩西向海伸手,耶和华就用极强的东风,一夜之间使海水退去;他使海变成干地,海水也分开了。 22 以色列人下到海中走干地,水在他们的左右作了墙垣。 23 埃及人追赶过来,法老所有的马匹、马车和马兵,都跟着以色列人下到海中去。 24 到了晨更的时候,耶和华透过云柱火柱向下观看埃及人的军兵,并且使埃及人的军兵大起混乱。 25 又使他们的车轮脱落,行驶困难,因此埃及人说:“我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧,因为耶和华为他们争战,攻击埃及人了。”
埃及人葬身红海之中
26 耶和华对摩西说:“你要向海伸手,使水回流到埃及人身上,流到他们的战车和马兵身上。” 27 摩西就向海伸手,到了天亮的时候,海水流回原处;埃及人逆流逃跑的时候,耶和华就把他们投在海中。 28 海水一回流,就淹没了马车、马兵和那些跟着以色列人下海去的法老的全军,连一个也没有余下。 29 以色列人却在海中走干地,水在他们的左右作了墙垣。 30 这样,耶和华就在那一天把以色列人从埃及人的手里拯救了出来;以色列人看见埃及人都死在海边。 31 以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所显大能的手,就敬畏耶和华,又信服耶和华和他的仆人摩西。
2 Mose 14
Hoffnung für Alle
Gott bahnt einen Weg durchs Meer
14 Der Herr sprach zu Mose: 2 »Sag den Israeliten, sie sollen ihre Richtung ändern und bei Pi-Hahirot Halt machen, zwischen Migdol und dem Meer. Schlagt das Lager direkt am Ufer des Schilfmeers auf, gegenüber von Baal-Zefon! 3 Der Pharao wird denken, ihr habt euch verlaufen und findet nicht mehr aus der Wüste heraus. 4 Ich werde dafür sorgen, dass er es sich anders überlegt und euch in seiner Starrsinnigkeit verfolgt. Doch dann werde ich ihn und sein Heer besiegen und zeigen, wie mächtig und erhaben ich bin. Daran sollen die Ägypter erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin!« Die Israeliten hielten sich genau an diese Anweisung.
5 Als der König von Ägypten erfuhr, dass die Israeliten wirklich geflohen waren, änderten er und seine Hofbeamten ihre Meinung: »Was haben wir bloß getan? Warum haben wir die Israeliten aus der Sklaverei entlassen?«
6 Der Pharao ließ seine Streitwagen anspannen und zog mit seinen Soldaten los. 7 600 seiner besten Streitwagen bot er auf, dazu noch zahlreiche andere aus ganz Ägypten. Auf jedem Wagen fuhr neben dem Wagenlenker und dem Bogenschützen auch noch ein Schildträger mit. 8 Der Herr hatte den König wieder starrsinnig gemacht. Darum jagte der Pharao den Israeliten nach, die Ägypten voller Zuversicht verlassen hatten. 9 Die Soldaten des Pharaos mit ihren Pferden und Streitwagen holten die Israeliten ein, während diese bei Pi-Hahirot am Meer, gegenüber von Baal-Zefon, lagerten.
10 Als die Israeliten den Pharao und seine Truppen heranziehen sahen, packte sie das Entsetzen, und sie schrien zum Herrn um Hilfe. 11 Zugleich machten sie Mose bittere Vorwürfe: »Gibt es etwa in Ägypten nicht genug Gräber für uns? Warum führst du uns hierher? Wir sollen wohl hier in der Wüste sterben! Was hast du uns nur angetan! Warum hast du uns aus Ägypten herausgeholt? 12 Haben wir dir nicht schon dort gesagt, du solltest uns in Ruhe lassen? Wir hätten bleiben und den Ägyptern dienen sollen. Lieber wären wir ihre Sklaven geblieben, als hier in der Wüste umzukommen!«
13 Doch Mose antwortete: »Habt keine Angst! Verliert nicht den Mut! Ihr werdet erleben, wie der Herr euch heute rettet. Denn die Ägypter, die euch jetzt noch bedrohen, werdet ihr nie wiedersehen! 14 Der Herr selbst wird für euch kämpfen, wartet ihr nur ruhig ab!«
15 Der Herr aber sagte zu Mose: »Warum schreist du zu mir um Hilfe? Sag den Israeliten lieber, dass sie aufbrechen sollen! 16 Heb deinen Stab hoch und streck ihn aus über das Meer! Es wird sich teilen, und ihr könnt trockenen Fußes mitten hindurchziehen. 17 Ich werde die Ägypter so starrsinnig machen, dass sie euch auch dort noch verfolgen. Ich will meine Macht und Herrlichkeit zeigen, indem ich den Pharao und sein Heer mit den Streitwagen und Reitern vernichte. 18 Die Ägypter sollen erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin. Ja, mein Sieg über den Pharao, seine Streitwagen und Reiter wird mir Ehre bringen!«
19 Der Engel Gottes, der bisher den Israeliten vorangezogen war, stellte sich nun ans Ende des Zuges. Auch die Wolkensäule, die sonst vor ihnen herzog, stand jetzt hinter ihnen, 20 genau zwischen den Ägyptern und den Israeliten. Sie versperrte dem ägyptischen Heer wie eine dunkle Wand die Sicht, für die Israeliten aber leuchtete sie die ganze Nacht. So kamen die Ägypter während der Nacht nicht an die Israeliten heran.
21 Mose streckte seine Hand über das Wasser aus; da ließ der Herr einen starken Ostwind aufkommen, der das Meer die ganze Nacht hindurch zurücktrieb und den Meeresboden zu trockenem Land machte. Das Wasser teilte sich, 22 und die Israeliten konnten trockenen Fußes mitten durchs Meer ziehen. Links und rechts von ihnen türmten sich die Wassermassen wie Mauern auf.
23 Die Ägypter jagten den Israeliten nach. Mit allen Streitwagen, Pferden und Reitern stürmten sie ins Meer hinein. 24 Kurz vor Tagesanbruch blickte der Herr aus der Wolken- und Feuersäule auf das ägyptische Heer hinab und stiftete Verwirrung in ihren Reihen. 25 Er ließ die Räder ihrer Streitwagen abspringen, so dass sie nur mühsam vorankamen. »Der Herr steht auf der Seite der Israeliten«, riefen die Ägypter, »er kämpft gegen uns! Kehrt um! Flieht!«
26 Da sprach der Herr zu Mose: »Streck deine Hand noch einmal über das Meer aus, damit das Wasser zurückkehrt und die Wagen und Reiter der Ägypter überflutet!« 27 Mose gehorchte: Bei Tagesanbruch streckte er seine Hand über das Meer aus. Da strömte das Wasser wieder zurück, den fliehenden Ägyptern entgegen. So trieb der Herr die Ägypter mitten ins Meer hinein. 28 Die Wassermassen flossen zurück und überfluteten die Streitwagen und Reiter des Pharaos, die den Israeliten ins Meer hinein gefolgt waren. Kein einziger Ägypter blieb am Leben! 29 Die Israeliten aber waren trockenen Fußes durchs Meer gezogen, während das Wasser wie eine Mauer zu beiden Seiten stand.
30 So rettete der Herr die Israeliten an diesem Tag vor den Ägyptern; sie sahen, wie die Leichen ihrer Feinde ans Ufer geschwemmt wurden. 31 Als die Israeliten erkannten, dass der Herr die Ägypter mit großer Macht besiegt hatte, wurden sie von Ehrfurcht ergriffen. Sie vertrauten ihm und seinem Diener Mose.
Exodus 14
New International Version
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol(A) and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.(B) 3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ 4 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,(C) and he will pursue them.(D) But I will gain glory(E) for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”(F) So the Israelites did this.
5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled,(G) Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds(H) about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” 6 So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. 7 He took six hundred of the best chariots,(I) along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. 8 The Lord hardened the heart(J) of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.(K) 9 The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses(L) and chariots, horsemen[a] and troops(M)—pursued the Israelites and overtook(N) them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.(O)
10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried(P) out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?(Q) What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”(R)
13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.(S) Stand firm and you will see(T) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see(U) again. 14 The Lord will fight(V) for you; you need only to be still.”(W)
15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?(X) Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff(Y) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water(Z) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts(AA) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.(AB) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(AC) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”
19 Then the angel of God,(AD) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud(AE) also moved from in front and stood behind(AF) them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness(AG) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(AH) over the sea,(AI) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(AJ) and turned it into dry land.(AK) The waters were divided,(AL) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(AM) on dry ground,(AN) with a wall(AO) of water on their right and on their left.
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(AP) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(AQ) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(AR) 25 He jammed[b] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(AS) for them against Egypt.”(AT)
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.(AU) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(AV) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(AW) Not one of them survived.(AX)
29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(AY) with a wall(AZ) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(BA) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand(BB) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared(BC) the Lord and put their trust(BD) in him and in Moses his servant.

American Standard Version
14 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon: over against it shall ye encamp by the sea. 3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. 4 And I will [a]harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so. 5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us? 6 And he made ready his [b]chariot, and took his people with him: 7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them. 8 And Jehovah [c]hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel went out with a high hand. 9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah. 11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt? 12 Is not this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day: [d]for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward. 16 And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground. 17 And I, behold, I will [e]harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 19 And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them: 20 and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians. 25 And he [f]took off their chariot wheels, [g]and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for Jehovah fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its [h]strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah [i]overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them. 29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 30 Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore. 31 And Israel saw the great [j]work which Jehovah did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared Jehovah: and they believed in Jehovah, and in his servant Moses.
