< Exodus 15 >

1 Then Moses sings—and the sons of Israel—this song to YHWH, and they speak, saying, “I sing to YHWH, For triumphing He has triumphed; The horse and its 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 My strength and song is YAH, And He is become my salvation: This [is] my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I 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 YHWH [is] a man of battle; YHWH [is] His Name.
上主是戰士,名叫「雅威。」
4 Chariots of Pharaoh and his force He has cast into the sea; And the choice of his captains Have sunk 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 cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.
浪濤淹沒了他們,像大石沉入海底。
6 Your right hand, O YHWH, Has become honorable in power; Your right hand, O YHWH, Crushes an enemy.
上主,你的右手大顯神能;上主,你的右手擊碎了敵人。
7 And in the abundance of Your excellence You throw down Your withstanders, You send forth Your wrath—It consumes them as 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 And by the wind of Your anger Waters have been heaped together; Flowings have stood as a heap; Depths have been congealed In the heart of a 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 said, I pursue, I overtake; I apportion spoil; My soul is filled with them; I draw out my sword; My hand destroys 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 You have blown with Your wind The sea has covered them; They sank as lead in mighty 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, O YHWH? Who [is] like You—honorable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing 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 have stretched out Your right hand—Earth swallows them!
你伸出右手,大地就吞了他們;
13 You have led forth in Your kindness The people whom You have redeemed. You have led on in Your strength To Your holy habitation.
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 Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain has seized inhabitants of Philistia.
外邦聽了,必驚慌顫慄,恐怖籠罩了培肋舍特居民;
15 Then chiefs of Edom have been troubled; Mighty ones of Moab—Trembling seizes them! All inhabitants of Canaan have melted!
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 dread fall on them; By the greatness of Your arm They are still as a stone, Until Your people pass over, O YHWH; Until the people pass over Whom You have purchased.
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 bring them in, and plant them In a mountain of Your inheritance, A fixed place for Your dwelling You have made, O YHWH; A 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 YHWH reigns—[for] all time and forever!”
上主為王,萬世無疆!
19 For the horse of Pharaoh has gone in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHWH turns back the waters of the sea on them, and the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea.
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 And Miriam the inspired one, sister of Aaron, takes the timbrel in her hand, and all the women go out after her, with timbrels and with choruses;
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 answers to them: “Sing to YHWH, For triumphing He has triumphed; The horse and its 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 And Moses causes Israel to journey from the Red Sea, and they go out to the wilderness of Shur, and they go three days in the wilderness, and have not found 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 they come to Marah, and have not been able to drink the waters of Marah, for they [are] bitter; therefore [one] has called its name 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 And the people murmur against Moses, saying, “What do we drink?”
那時百姓抱怨梅瑟說:「我們喝什麼呢﹖」
25 And he cries to YHWH, and YHWH shows him a tree, and he casts [it] into the waters, and the waters become sweet. He has made a statute for them there, and an ordinance, and He has tried them there,
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 and He says, “If you really listen to the voice of your God YHWH, and do that which is right in His eyes, and have listened to His commands, and kept all His statutes, none of the sickness which I laid on the Egyptians do I lay on you, for I, YHWH, am healing 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 And they come to Elim, and there [are] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamp 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。
