Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.
那時梅瑟和以色列子民唱了這篇詩歌，歌頌上主說：我要歌頌上主，因他獲得全勝，將馬和騎兵投於海中。
2 The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
上主是我的力量和保障，他作了我的救援。他是我的天主，我要頌揚他；是我祖先的天主，我要讚美他。
3 The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.
上主是戰士，名叫「雅威。」
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
法郎的戰車軍隊，他投於海中，使他的良將沉於紅海。
5 The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone.
浪濤淹沒了他們，像大石沉入海底。
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.
上主，你的右手大顯神能；上主，你的右手擊碎了敵人。
7 You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.
以你無比的威嚴，毀滅了你的敵人；你發出的怒火，燒滅他們像燒麥楷。
8 At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; like a wall the currents stood firm; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
你鼻孔一噴氣，大水聚集，浪濤直立如堤，深淵凝固於海心。
9 The enemy declared, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.’
仇人說：「我要追擊擒獲，分得獵物，才心滿意足；我要拔刀出鞘，親手斬滅。」
10 But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
但你一噓氣，海將他們覆沒，像鉛沉入深淵。
11 Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?
上主，眾神誰可與你相比﹖誰能像你那樣，神聖尊威，光榮可畏，施行奇蹟!
12 You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them up.
你伸出右手，大地就吞了他們；
13 With loving devotion You will lead the people You have redeemed; with Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.
以你的慈愛，領出了你所救的百姓；憑你的能力，領他們進入了你的聖所。
14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the dwellers of Philistia.
外邦聽了，必驚慌顫慄，恐怖籠罩了培肋舍特居民；
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; trembling will seize the leaders of Moab; those who dwell in Canaan will melt away,
那時厄東的酋長驚慌失措，摩阿布的首領嚇的發抖，客納罕的居民膽顫心寒。
16 and terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You have bought pass by.
驚慌與恐怖降在他們身上；因你大能的手臂，他們像石塊僵立不動，直到你的百姓走過，上主! 直到你所救贖的百姓走過。
17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance— the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.
上主，你引領他們，吾主，在你為物業的山上，在你為自己準備的住所，在你親手建立的聖所，培植了他們。
18 The LORD will reign forever and ever!”
上主為王，萬世無疆!
19 For when Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
法郎的馬、戰車和騎兵一到海中，上主就使海水回流，淹沒了他們；以色列子民卻在海中乾地上走過。
20 Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing.
此時亞郎的姐妹女先知米黎盎手中拿著鼓，眾婦女也都跟著她，拿著鼓舞蹈。
21 And Miriam sang back to them: “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.”
米黎盎應和他們說：「你們應歌頌上主，因他獲得全勝，將馬和騎士投入海中。」變苦水為甜水
22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water.
以後梅瑟命以色列人由紅海起營，往叔爾曠野去；他們在曠野裏走了三天，沒有找到水。
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named Marah.)
隨後，到了瑪辣，但不能喝瑪辣的水，因為水苦；因此稱那地為瑪辣。
24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”
那時百姓抱怨梅瑟說：「我們喝什麼呢﹖」
25 And Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log. And when he cast it into the waters, they were sweetened. There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them,
梅瑟遂呼號上主，上主便指給他一塊木頭；他把木頭扔在水裏，水就變成甜水。上主在那裏給百姓立定了法律和典章，也在那裏試探了他們。
26 saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
上主說：「你若誠心聽從上主你天主的話，行他眼中視為正義的事，服從他的命令，遵守他的一切法律，我決不加於埃及人的災殃，加於你們，因為我是醫治你的上主。」
27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the waters.
以後他們到了厄林，那裏有十二股水泉，七十棵棕樹。他們便在那裏靠近水邊安了營。
