Exodus 15
New American Standard Bible
The Song of Moses and Israel
15 (A)Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, [a]saying:
“[b](B)I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted;
(C)The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
2 [c](D)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
(E)This is my God, and I will praise Him;
(F)My father’s God, and I will (G)exalt Him.
3 (H)The Lord is a warrior;
[d](I)The Lord is His name.
4 (J)Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea;
And the choicest of his officers are [e]drowned in the [f]Red Sea.
5 The waters cover them;
(K)They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 (L)Your right hand, Lord, is majestic in power;
(M)Your right hand, Lord, destroys the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of Your [g]excellence You (N)overthrow those who rise up against You;
(O)You send out Your burning anger, and it (P)consumes them like chaff.
8 (Q)At the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up,
(R)The flowing waters stood up like a heap;
The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 (S)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will (T)divide the spoils;
[h]I shall [i]be satisfied against them;
I will draw my sword, my hand will [j]destroy them.’
10 (U)You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;
(V)They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 (W)Who is like You among the gods, Lord?
Who is like You, (X)majestic in holiness,
(Y)Awesome in praises, (Z)working wonders?
12 (AA)You reached out with Your right hand,
The earth swallowed them.
13 In Your [k]faithfulness You have (AB)led the people whom You have (AC)redeemed;
In Your strength You have guided them (AD)to Your holy habitation.
14 (AE)The peoples have heard, they tremble;
Anguish has gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Then the (AF)chiefs of Edom were terrified;
(AG)The leaders of Moab, trembling grips them;
(AH)All the inhabitants of Canaan have despaired.
16 (AI)Terror and dread fall upon them;
(AJ)By the greatness of Your arm they are motionless as stone,
Until Your people pass over, Lord,
Until the people pass over whom You (AK)have purchased.
17 (AL)You will bring them and (AM)plant them in (AN)the mountain of Your inheritance,
(AO)The place, Lord, which You have made as Your dwelling,
(AP)The sanctuary, Lord, which Your hands have established.
18 (AQ)The Lord shall reign forever and ever.”
19 (AR)For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on (AS)dry land through the midst of the sea.
20 (AT)Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took the (AU)tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with [l](AV)dancing. 21 And Miriam answered them,
“(AW)Sing to the Lord, for He [m]is highly exalted;
The horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea.”
The Lord Provides Water
22 (AX)Then Moses [n]led Israel from the [o]Red Sea, and they went out into (AY)the wilderness of (AZ)Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 When they came to (BA)Marah, they could not drink the waters [p]of Marah, because they were [q]bitter; for that reason it was named [r]Marah. 24 So the people (BB)grumbled at Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” 25 Then he (BC)cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him (BD)a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet.
There He (BE)made for them a statute and regulation, and there He (BF)tested them. 26 And He said, “(BG)If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and listen (BH)to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, (BI)I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, (BJ)the Lord, am your healer.”
27 Then they came to (BK)Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters.

出埃及記 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
摩西頌讚耶和華
15 那時,摩西和以色列人便歌頌耶和華說:
「我要歌頌耶和華,
因祂大獲全勝,
祂把戰馬騎兵都捲入海中。
2 耶和華是我的力量,我的詩歌,
也成了我的拯救;
祂是我的上帝,我要讚美祂;
祂是我父親的上帝,我要尊崇祂。
3 耶和華是戰士,
祂名叫耶和華。
4 祂把法老的戰車和全軍都拋進海中,
法老的優秀將領都葬身於紅海,
5 大水淹沒他們,
他們如同石塊沉入深海。
6 耶和華啊,你大能的右手顯出榮耀;
耶和華啊,你的右手擊碎仇敵。
7 你大顯威嚴,擊倒那些起來對抗你的人;
你大發雷霆,他們便像枯草遇火,
一燒而盡。
8 你的鼻孔一呼氣,海水便堆聚起來,
洪濤便堆起水牆,海底深處也都凝固。
9 敵人說,『追啊,追上他們,
瓜分他們的財物,盡情地擄掠他們,
拔出刀來把他們斬盡殺絕。』
10 你叫風一吹,海水就淹沒他們,
他們好像鉛塊一樣沉沒在怒海中。
11 耶和華啊,萬神之中,誰能像你?
誰能像你——威嚴神聖,
可頌可畏,廣行神蹟?
12 你伸出右手,大地便吞滅他們。
13 你以不變的愛引領你所救贖的子民,
以大能帶他們進入你的聖所。
14 各邦各族聽見這些事就發抖,
非利士人也痛苦不堪,
15 以東的族長惶恐,
摩押的英雄顫慄,
迦南的居民都膽戰心驚。
16 驚駭恐懼籠罩著他們。
耶和華啊,
你臂膀的大能嚇得他們僵立如石,
直到你的子民都安然走過,
直到你買贖的子民都安然走過。
17 耶和華啊,
你要帶領自己的子民到你的山上安居——
到你為自己所造的住處,
主啊,到你親手建的聖所。
18 「耶和華必做王,直到永永遠遠。」
19 法老的戰車和騎兵追到海中,耶和華使海水回流淹沒他們,以色列人卻在海中踏著乾地走到對岸。 20 亞倫的姐姐米利暗是個先知,她手拿小鼓,帶領婦女擊鼓跳舞, 21 唱道:「要歌頌耶和華,因祂大獲全勝,把馬和騎兵都拋進海中。」
苦水
22 摩西帶領以色列人離開紅海,來到書珥曠野,走了三天仍然找不到水喝。 23 到了瑪拉,那裡的水卻是苦的,不能喝。因此那地方叫瑪拉[a]。 24 百姓就埋怨摩西說:「我們喝什麼呢?」 25 摩西向耶和華呼求,耶和華就指示他把一棵樹丟在水中,使水變得甘甜。耶和華又在瑪拉給百姓定下一些律例和法令,並在那裡試驗他們, 26 說:「你們若留心聽你們上帝耶和華的話,做我視為正的事,遵守我所定下的律例,我就不把降在埃及的疾病加在你們身上,因為我耶和華是醫治你們的上帝。」
27 到了以琳,那裡有十二股水泉和七十棵棕樹,他們就在水邊安營。
