出埃及记 15
1 那时，摩西和以色列人向耶和华唱歌说： 我要向耶和华歌唱，因他大大战胜， 将马和骑马的投在海中。
Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
2 耶和华是我的力量，我的诗歌， 也成了我的拯救。 这是我的 神，我要赞美他， 是我父亲的 神，我要尊崇他。
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
3 耶和华是战士； 他的名是耶和华。
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 法老的车辆、军兵，耶和华已抛在海中； 他特选的军长都沉于红海。
He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
5 深水淹没他们； 他们如同石头坠到深处。
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 耶和华啊，你的右手施展能力，显出荣耀； 耶和华啊，你的右手摔碎仇敌。
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 你大发威严，推翻那些起来攻击你的； 你发出烈怒如火，烧灭他们像烧碎秸一样。
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 你发鼻中的气，水便聚起成堆， 大水直立如垒， 海中的深水凝结。
You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
9 仇敌说：我要追赶，我要追上； 我要分掳物，我要在他们身上称我的心愿。 我要拔出刀来，亲手杀灭他们。
[Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
10 你叫风一吹，海就把他们淹没； 他们如铅沉在大水之中。
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 耶和华啊，众神之中，谁能像你？ 谁能像你—至圣至荣， 可颂可畏，施行奇事？
Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
12 你伸出右手， 地便吞灭他们。
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 你凭慈爱领了你所赎的百姓； 你凭能力引他们到了你的圣所。
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 外邦人听见就发颤； 疼痛抓住非利士的居民。
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 那时，以东的族长惊惶， 摩押的英雄被战兢抓住， 迦南的居民心都消化了。
The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
16 惊骇恐惧临到他们。 耶和华啊，因你膀臂的大能， 他们如石头寂然不动， 等候你的百姓过去， 等候你所赎的百姓过去。
They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
17 你要将他们领进去，栽于你产业的山上— 耶和华啊，就是你为自己所造的住处； 主啊，就是你手所建立的圣所。
to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
18 耶和华必作王，直到永永远远！
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 法老的马匹、车辆，和马兵下到海中，耶和华使海水回流，淹没他们；惟有以色列人在海中走干地。
The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
20 亚伦的姊姊，女先知米利暗，手里拿着鼓；众妇女也跟她出去拿鼓跳舞。
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
21 米利暗应声说： 你们要歌颂耶和华，因他大大战胜， 将马和骑马的投在海中。
and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
22 摩西领以色列人从红海往前行，到了书珥的旷野，在旷野走了三天，找不着水。
Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
23 到了玛拉，不能喝那里的水；因为水苦，所以那地名叫玛拉。
So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 百姓就向摩西发怨言，说：“我们喝什么呢？”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 摩西呼求耶和华，耶和华指示他一棵树。他把树丢在水里，水就变甜了。 耶和华在那里为他们定了律例、典章，在那里试验他们；
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
26 又说：“你若留意听耶和华—你 神的话，又行我眼中看为正的事，留心听我的诫命，守我一切的律例，我就不将所加与埃及人的疾病加在你身上，因为我—耶和华是医治你的。”
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
27 他们到了以琳，在那里有十二股水泉，七十棵棕树；他们就在那里的水边安营。
[After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
