出埃及記 14
1 從厄堂到紅海1. 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 你吩咐以色列子民轉回，在米革多耳及海之間的丕哈希洛特前，面對巴耳責豐安營，即在巴耳責豐之前，靠近海邊安營。
Speake to the children of Israel, that they returne and campe before Pi-hahiroth, betweene Migdol and the Sea, ouer against Baal-zephon: about it shall ye campe by the Sea.
3 如此，法朗必然以為以色列子民在國境內迷了路，曠野困住了他們。
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
4 我要使法郎心硬，在後面追趕他們，這樣我將在法郎和他全軍身上，大顯神能，使埃及人知道我是上主。」以色列子民就照樣作了。法郎追趕以列
And I will harden Pharaohs heart that hee shall follow after you: so I will get mee honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his hoste: the Egyptians also shall knowe that I am the Lord: and they did so.
5 有人報告埃及王說：那百姓逃走了。法郎和他的臣僕對那百姓變了心，說：「我們放走以色列人，不再給我們服役，這是作的什麼事﹖」
Then it was told the King of Egypt, that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his seruants was turned against the people, and they sayde, Why haue we this done, and haue let Israel go out of our seruice?
6 法郎遂命人準備他的車，親自率領兵士，
And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
7 還帶了六百輛精良戰車和埃及所有的戰車，每輛車上都有戰士駕駛。
And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
8 上主使埃及王法郎心硬，在後面追趕以色列子民；當以色列子民大膽前行的時候，
(For the Lord had hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he followed after the children of Israel: but the children of Israel went out with an hie hand)
9 埃及人在後面追趕他們，法郎所有的車馬、騎士和步兵就在靠近丕哈希洛特，巴耳責豐對面，以色列子民安營的地方趕上了。
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and all the horses and charets of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his hoste ouertooke them camping by the Sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 當法郎來近的時候，以色列子民舉目，看見埃及人趕來，都十分恐怖，向上主哀號，
And when Pharaoh drew nie, the children of Israel lift vp their eyes, and beholde, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were sore afrayde: wherefore the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord.
11 也向梅瑟說：「你帶我們死在曠野裏，難道埃及沒有墳墓嗎﹖你為什麼這樣待我們，將我們從埃及出來﹖
And they sayde vnto Moses, Hast thou brought vs to die in the wildernes, because there were no graues in Egypt? wherefore hast thou serued vs thus, to carie vs out of Egypt?
12 我們在埃及不是對你說過這話：不要擾亂我們，我們甘願服侍埃及人，服侍埃及人總比死在曠野裏還好啊! 」
Did not wee tell thee this thing in Egypt, saying, Let vs be in rest, that we may serue the Egyptians? for it had bene better for vs to serue the Egyptians, then that wee shoulde dye in the wildernesse.
13 梅瑟向百姓說：「你們不要害怕，站著別動，觀看上主今天給你們施的救恩，因為你們所見的埃及人，永遠再見不到了。
Then Moses sayde to the people, Feare ye not, stand still, and beholde the saluation of the Lord which he will shew to you this day. For the Egyptians, whome ye haue seene this day, ye shall neuer see them againe.
14 上主必替你們作戰，你們應安靜等待。」過紅海
The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
15 上主向梅瑟說：「你為什麼向我哀號，吩咐以色列子民起營前行。
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
16 你舉起棍杖，把你的手伸到海上，分開海水，叫以色列子民在海中乾地上走過。
And lift thou vp thy rod, and stretche out thine hand vpon the Sea and deuide it, and let the children of Israel goe on drie ground thorow the middes of the Sea.
17 你看，我要使埃及人的心硬，在後面趕以色列子民；這樣我好叫法郎和他全軍，戰車和騎兵身上，大顯神能。
And I, beholde, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, that they may follow them, and I wil get me honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his host, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
18 我向法郎，向他的戰車和騎兵大顯神能的時候，埃及人將會知道我是上主。」
Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue gotten me honour vpon Pharaoh, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
19 在以色列大隊前面走的天主使者，就轉到他們的後面走，雲柱也從他們前面轉到他們後面停下，
(And the Angel of God, which went before the hoste of Israel, remoued and went behinde them: also the pillar of the cloude went from before them, and stoode behinde them,
20 即來到埃及軍營和以色列軍營中間；那一夜雲柱一面發黑，一面發光，這樣整夜軍隊彼此不能接近。
And came betweene the campe of the Egyptians and the campe of Israel: it was both a cloude and darkenes, yet gaue it light by night, so that all the night long the one came not at the other)
21 梅瑟向海伸手，上主就用極強的東風，一夜之間把海颳退，使海底成為乾地。水分開以後，
And Moses stretched forth his hande vpon the Sea, and the Lord caused the sea to runne backe by a strong East winde all the night, and made the Sea dry land: for the waters were deuided.
22 以色列子民便在海中乾地上走過，水在他們左右好像牆壁。埃及人沉沒海中
Then the children of Israel went through the middes of the Sea vpon the drie ground, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hand, and on their left hand.
23 隨後埃及人也趕來，法郎所有的馬、戰車和騎兵，都跟著他們來到海中。
And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
24 到了晨時末更，上主在火柱和雲柱上，窺探埃及軍隊，使埃及的軍隊混亂。
Nowe in the morning watche, when the Lord looked vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, out of the firie and cloudie pillar, he strooke the host of the Egyptians with feare.
25 又使他們的車輪脫落，難以行走，以致埃及人說：「我們由以色列逃走罷! 因為上主替他們作戰，攻擊埃及人。」
For he tooke off their charet wheeles, and they draue them with much a doe: so that the Egyptians euery one sayd, I wil flee from the face of Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 上主對梅瑟說：「向海伸出你的手，使水回流到埃及人、他們的戰車和騎兵身上。」
Then the Lord sayde to Moses, Stretche thine hand vpon the Sea, that the waters may returne vpon the Egyptians, vpon their charets and vpon their horsemen.
27 到了天亮，梅瑟向海伸手，海水流回原處；埃及人迎著水逃跑的時候，上主將他們投入海中。
Then Moses stretched forth his hand vpon the Sea, and the Sea returned to his force early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it: but the Lord ouerthrew the Egyptians in the mids of the Sea.
28 回流的水淹末了法郎的戰車、騎兵和跟著以色列子民來到海中的法郎軍隊，一個人也沒有留下。
So the water returned and couered the charets and the horsemen, euen all the hoste of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them: there remained not one of them.
29 但是以色列子民在海中乾地上走過去，水在他們左右好像牆壁。
But the children of Israel walked vpon dry land thorowe the middes of the Sea, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hande, and on their left.
30 這樣上主在那一天從埃及人手中整救了以色列人。以色列人看見了埃及人的屍首浮在海邊上。
Thus the Lord saued Israel the same day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the Sea banke.
31 以色列人見上主向埃及人顯示的大能，百姓都敬畏上主，信了上主和他的僕人梅瑟。
And Israel saw the mightie power, which the Lord shewed vpon the Egyptians: so the people feared the Lord, and beleeued the Lord, and his seruant Moses.
