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
Living Bible
15 Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord:
I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
He has thrown both horse and rider into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength, my song, and my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him.
He is my father’s God—I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a warrior—
Yes, Jehovah is his name.
4 He has overthrown Pharaoh’s chariots and armies,
Drowning them in the sea.
The famous Egyptian captains are dead beneath the waves.
5 The water covers them.
They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power;
It dashes the enemy to pieces.
7 In the greatness of your majesty
You overthrew all those who rose against you.
You sent forth your anger, and it consumed them as fire consumes straw.
8 At the blast of your breath
The waters divided!
They stood as solid walls to hold the seas apart.
9 The enemy said, “I will chase after them,
Catch up with them, destroy them.
I will cut them apart with my sword
And divide the captured booty.”
10 But God blew with his wind, and the sea covered them.
They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who else is like the Lord among the gods?
Who is glorious in holiness like him?
Who is so awesome in splendor,
A wonder-working God?
12 You reached out your hand and the earth swallowed them.
13 You have led the people you redeemed.
But in your loving-kindness
You have guided them wonderfully
To your holy land.
14 The nations heard what happened, and they trembled.
Fear has gripped the people of Philistia.
15 The leaders of Edom are appalled,
The mighty men of Moab tremble;
All the people of Canaan melt with fear.
16 Terror and dread have overcome them.
O Lord, because of your great power they won’t attack us!
Your people whom you purchased
Will pass by them in safety.
17 You will bring them in and plant them on your mountain,
Your own homeland, Lord—
The sanctuary you made for them to live in.
18 Jehovah shall reign forever and forever.
19 The horses of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his chariots
Tried to follow through the sea;
But the Lord let down the walls of water on them
While the people of Israel walked through on dry land.
20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine and led the women in dances.
21 And Miriam sang this song:
Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously.
The horse and rider have been drowned in the sea.
22 Then Moses led the people of Israel on from the Red Sea, and they moved out into the wilderness of Shur and were there three days without water. 23 Arriving at Marah, they couldn’t drink the water because it was bitter (that is why the place was called Marah, meaning “bitter”).
24 Then the people turned against Moses. “Must we die of thirst?” they demanded.
25 Moses pleaded with the Lord to help them, and the Lord showed him a tree to throw into the water, and the water became sweet.
It was there at Marah that the Lord laid before them the following conditions, to test their commitment to him: 26 “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and obey it, and do what is right, then I will not make you suffer the diseases I sent on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord who heals you.” 27 And they came to Elim where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees; and they camped there beside the springs.
Exodus 15
New Century Version
The Song of Moses
15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:
“I will sing to the Lord,
because he is worthy of great honor.
He has thrown the horse and its rider
into the sea.
2 The Lord gives me strength and makes me sing;
he has saved me.
He is my God,
and I will praise him.
He is the God of my ancestors,
and I will honor him.
3 The Lord is a warrior;
the Lord is his name.
4 The chariots and soldiers of the king of Egypt
he has thrown into the sea.
The king’s best officers
are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The deep waters covered them,
and they sank to the bottom like a rock.
6 Your right hand, Lord,
is amazingly strong.
Lord, your right hand
broke the enemy to pieces.
7 In your great victory
you destroyed those who were against you.
Your anger destroyed them,
like fire burning straw.
8 Just a blast of your breath,
and the waters piled up.
The moving water stood like a wall;
the deep waters became solid in the middle of the sea.
9 “The enemy bragged,
‘I’ll chase them and catch them.
I’ll take all their riches;
I’ll take all I want.
I’ll pull out my sword,
and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew on them with your breath
and covered them with the sea.
They sank like lead
in the raging water.
11 “Are there any gods like you, Lord?
There are no gods like you.
You are wonderfully holy,
amazingly powerful,
a worker of miracles.
12 You reached out with your right hand,
and the earth swallowed our enemies.
13 You keep your loving promise
and lead the people you have saved.
With your strength you will guide them
to your holy place.
14 “The other nations will hear this and tremble with fear;
terror will take hold of the Philistines.
15 The leaders of the tribes of Edom will be very frightened;
the powerful men of Moab will shake with fear;
the people of Canaan will lose all their courage.
16 Terror and horror will fall on them.
When they see your strength,
they will be as still as a rock.
They will be still until your people pass by, Lord.
They will be still until the people you have taken as your own pass by.
17 You will lead your people and place them
on your very own mountain,
the place that you, Lord, made for yourself to live,
the temple, Lord, that your hands have made.
18 The Lord will be king forever!”
19 The horses, chariot drivers, and chariots of the king of Egypt went into the sea, and the Lord covered them with water from the sea. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry land. 20 Then Aaron’s sister Miriam, a prophetess, took a tambourine in her hand. All the women followed her, playing tambourines and dancing. 21 Miriam told them:
“Sing to the Lord,
because he is worthy of great honor;
he has thrown the horse and its rider
into the sea.”
Bitter Water Becomes Good
22 Moses led the Israelites away from the Red Sea into the Desert of Shur. They traveled for three days in the desert but found no water. 23 Then they came to Marah, where there was water, but they could not drink it because it was too bitter. (That is why the place was named Marah.[a]) 24 The people grumbled to Moses and asked, “What will we drink?”
25 So Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When Moses threw the tree into the water, the water became good to drink.
There the Lord gave the people a rule and a law to live by, and there he tested their loyalty to him. 26 He said, “You must obey the Lord your God and do what he says is right. If you obey all his commands and keep his rules, I will not bring on you any of the sicknesses I brought on the Egyptians. I am the Lord who heals you.”
27 Then the people traveled to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. So the people camped there near the water.
