Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders 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 gives me strength. He is the theme of my song. He saves me. He is my God, and I will praise him. He is my father's God, and I will honor 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 like a warrior. His name is the Lord.
上主是戰士，名叫「雅威。」
4 He threw Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. Pharaoh's best officers were 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 flooding water covered them. They dropped down into the depths like a stone.
浪濤淹沒了他們，像大石沉入海底。
6 Your power, Lord, is truly amazing! Your power, Lord, crushed the enemy.
上主，你的右手大顯神能；上主，你的右手擊碎了敵人。
7 By your majestic power you destroyed those who opposed you. Your anger blazed out and burned them up 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 You blew and the sea piled up. The waves stood straight like a wall. The depths of the ocean turned solid.
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 bragged, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will divide the plunder. I will eat them alive. I will swing my sword. By my hand I 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 swept over them. They sank down like lead in the swirling waters.
但你一噓氣，海將他們覆沒，像鉛沉入深淵。
11 Who is like you among the gods, Lord? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in wonder, doing miracles?
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 acted, and the earth swallowed the Egyptians.
你伸出右手，大地就吞了他們；
13 You led the people you saved with your trustworthy love. You will guide them in your strength to your holy home.
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 what has happened and will shake with fear. The people who live in Philistia will experience agonizing distress.
外邦聽了，必驚慌顫慄，恐怖籠罩了培肋舍特居民；
15 The Edomite chiefs will be terrified. The Moabite leaders will tremble. The people living in Canaan will melt away in panic.
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 Terror and fright will fall on them. Lord, because of your great power, they will be as still as stone until your people pass by, until the people you 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 take your people and plant them on the mountain that you own, the place that you, Lord, have prepared as your home, the sanctuary that your hands have built, Lord.
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 When Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the water rushing 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 Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, picked up a tambourine, and all the women followed her dancing and playing tambourines.
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 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders 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 away from the Red Sea and into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert but couldn't find any 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 When they arrived at Marah, the water there was too bitter to drink. (That's why the place is called 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 complained to Moses, asking, “What are we going to drink?”
那時百姓抱怨梅瑟說：「我們喝什麼呢﹖」
25 Moses called out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. When he threw it into the water, it became sweet. There the Lord gave them rules and instructions and also tested their loyalty to him.
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 He told them, “If you pay attention to what the Lord your God says, do what is right in his sight, obey his commands, and keep all his regulations, then I will not make you suffer from any of the diseases I gave the Egyptians because 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 traveled on to Elim, which had twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They set up camp there beside the water.
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。
