出埃及記 15
1 那時，摩西和以色列人向耶和華唱歌說： 我要向耶和華歌唱，因他大大戰勝， 將馬和騎馬的投在海中。
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 耶和華是我的力量，我的詩歌， 也成了我的拯救。 這是我的上帝，我要讚美他， 是我父親的上帝，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 耶和華是戰士； 他的名是耶和華。
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 法老的車輛、軍兵，耶和華已拋在海中； 他特選的軍長都沉於紅海。
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 深水淹沒他們； 他們如同石頭墜到深處。
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 耶和華啊，你的右手施展能力，顯出榮耀； 耶和華啊，你的右手摔碎仇敵。
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 你大發威嚴，推翻那些起來攻擊你的； 你發出烈怒如火，燒滅他們像燒碎稭一樣。
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 你發鼻中的氣，水便聚起成堆， 大水直立如壘， 海中的深水凝結。
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 仇敵說：我要追趕，我要追上； 我要分擄物，我要在他們身上稱我的心願。 我要拔出刀來，親手殺滅他們。
[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 你叫風一吹，海就把他們淹沒； 他們如鉛沉在大水之中。
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 耶和華啊，眾神之中，誰能像你？ 誰能像你－至聖至榮， 可頌可畏，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， 地便吞滅他們。
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 你憑慈愛領了你所贖的百姓； 你憑能力引他們到了你的聖所。
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 外邦人聽見就發顫； 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 那時，以東的族長驚惶， 摩押的英雄被戰兢抓住， 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 驚駭恐懼臨到他們。 耶和華啊，因你膀臂的大能， 他們如石頭寂然不動， 等候你的百姓過去， 等候你所贖的百姓過去。
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 你要將他們領進去，栽於你產業的山上－ 耶和華啊，就是你為自己所造的住處； 主啊，就是你手所建立的聖所。
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 耶和華必作王，直到永永遠遠！
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 法老的馬匹、車輛，和馬兵下到海中，耶和華使海水回流，淹沒他們；惟有以色列人在海中走乾地。
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 亞倫的姊姊，女先知米利暗，手裏拿着鼓；眾婦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 米利暗應聲說： 你們要歌頌耶和華，因他大大戰勝， 將馬和騎馬的投在海中。
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 摩西領以色列人從紅海往前行，到了書珥的曠野，在曠野走了三天，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 到了瑪拉，不能喝那裏的水；因為水苦，所以那地名叫瑪拉。
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 百姓就向摩西發怨言，說：「我們喝甚麼呢？」
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 摩西呼求耶和華，耶和華指示他一棵樹。他把樹丟在水裏，水就變甜了。 耶和華在那裏為他們定了律例、典章，在那裏試驗他們；
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 又說：「你若留意聽耶和華－你上帝的話，又行我眼中看為正的事，留心聽我的誡命，守我一切的律例，我就不將所加與埃及人的疾病加在你身上，因為我－耶和華是醫治你的。」
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 他們到了以琳，在那裏有十二股水泉，七十棵棕樹；他們就在那裏的水邊安營。
[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.
