Exodus 14
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
從厄堂到紅海1. 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba‘al-Zephon; you encamp in front of it by the sea,
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。
3 and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
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。
4 and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he has pursued after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH”; and they do so.
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
5 And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people have fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, “What [is] this we have done, that we have sent Israel away from our service?”
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﹖」
6 And he harnesses his chariot, and he has taken his people with him,
法郎遂命人準備他的車，親自率領兵士，
7 and he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
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。
8 and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursues after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand,
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，
9 and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Ba‘al-Zephon.
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。
10 And Pharaoh has drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
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，
11 And they say to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in a wilderness? What is this you have done to us—to bring us out from Egypt?
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﹖
12 Is this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for [it is] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?”
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! 」
13 And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, station yourselves, and see the salvation of YHWH, which He does for you today; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you add no more to see them for all time;
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。
14 YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
上主必替你們作戰，你們應安靜等待。」過紅海
15 And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
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。
16 and you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand toward the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
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。
17 And I—behold, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, by his chariots, and by his horsemen;
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。
18 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by his horsemen.”
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。」
19 And the Messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeys and goes at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeys from their front, and stands at their rear,
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，
20 and comes in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlightens the night, and the one has not drawn near to the other all the night.
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。
21 And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and YHWH causes the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and makes the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
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，
22 and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left.
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
23 And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) into the midst of the sea,
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。
24 and it comes to pass, in the morning watch, that YHWH looks to the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubles the camp of the Egyptians,
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。
25 and turns aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
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。」
26 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
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。」
27 And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and the sea turns back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and YHWH shakes off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,
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。
28 and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there has not been left even one of them.
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。
29 And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left;
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。
30 and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
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。
31 and Israel sees the great hand with which YHWH has worked against the Egyptians, and the people fear YHWH, and remain steadfast in YHWH, and in His servant Moses.
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。
