< Exodus 14 >

1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
Loquere filiis Israel: Reversi castrametentur e regione Phihahiroth quae est inter Magdalum et mare contra Beelsephon: in conspectu eius castra ponetis super mare.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
Dicturusque est Pharao super filiis Israel: Coartati sunt in terra, conclusit eos desertum.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD." And they did so.
Et indurabo cor eius, ac persequetur vos: et glorificabor in Pharaone, et in omni exercitu eius. scientque Aegyptii quia ego sum Dominus. Feceruntque ita.
5 And when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
Et nunciatum est regi Aegyptiorum quod fugisset populus: immutatumque est cor Pharaonis et servorum eius super populum, et dixerunt: Quid voluimus facere ut dimitteremus Israel, ne serviret nobis?
6 Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
Iunxit ergo currum, et omnem populum suum assumpsit secum.
7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
Tulitque sexcentos currus electos, et quidquid in Aegypto curruum fuit: et duces totius exercitus.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel were going out triumphantly.
Induravitque Dominus cor Pharaonis regis Aegypti, et persecutus est filios Israel: at illi egressi sunt in manu excelsa.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Cumque persequerentur Aegyptii vestigia praecedentium, repererunt eos in castris super mare: omnis equitatus et currus Pharaonis, et universus exercitus erant in Phihahiroth contra Beelsephon.
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
Cumque appropinquasset Pharao, levantes filii Israel oculos, viderunt Aegyptios post se: et timuerunt valde: clamaveruntque ad Dominum,
11 And they said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
et dixerunt ad Moysen: Forsitan non erant sepulchra in Aegypto, ideo tulisti nos ut moreremur in solitudine: quid hoc facere voluisti, ut educeres nos ex Aegypto?
12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."
Nonne iste est sermo, quem loquebamur ad te in Aegypto, dicentes: Recede a nobis, ut serviamus Aegyptiis? multo enim melius erat servire eis, quam mori in solitudine.
13 But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
Et ait Moyses ad populum: Nolite timere: state, et videte magnalia Domini quae facturus est hodie: Aegyptios enim, quos nunc videtis, nequaquam ultra videbitis usque in sempiternum.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you must be still."
Dominus pugnabit pro vobis, et vos tacebitis.
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Quid clamas ad me? Loquere filiis Israel ut proficiscantur.
16 And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
Tu autem eleva virgam tuam, et extende manum tuam super mare, et divide illud: ut gradiantur filii Israel in medio mari per siccum.
17 And as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
Ego autem indurabo cor Aegyptiorum ut persequantur vos: et glorificabor in Pharaone, et in omni exercitu eius, et in curribus et in equitibus illius.
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."
Et scient Aegyptii quia ego sum Dominus cum glorificatus fuero in Pharaone, et in curribus atque in equitibus eius.
19 And the angel of God who was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and stood behind them.
Tollensque se angelus Domini, qui praecedebat castra Israel, abiit post eos: et cum eo pariter columna nubis, priora dimittens, post tergum
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all night.
stetit, inter castra Aegyptiorum et castra Israel: et erat nubes tenebrosa, et illuminans noctem, ita ut ad se invicem toto noctis tempore accedere non valerent.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
Cumque extendisset Moyses manum super mare, abstulit illud Dominus flante vento vehementi et urente tota nocte, et vertit in siccum: divisaque est aqua.
22 Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
Et ingressi sunt filii Israel per medium sicci maris: erat enim aqua quasi murus a dextra eorum et laeva.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Persequentesque Aegyptii ingressi sunt post eos, et omnis equitatus Pharaonis, currus eius et equites per medium maris.
24 And it happened, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
Iamque advenerat vigilia matutina, et ecce respiciens Dominus super castra Aegyptiorum per columnam ignis et nubis, interfecit exercitum eorum:
25 And he bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egypt."
et subvertit rotas curruum, ferebanturque in profundum. Dixerunt ergo Aegyptii: Fugiamus Israelem: Dominus enim pugnat pro eis contra nos.
26 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."
Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam super mare, ut revertantur aquae ad Aegyptios super currus et equites eorum.
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but the LORD shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Cumque extendisset Moyses manum contra mare, reversum est primo diluculo ad priorem locum: fugientibusque Aegyptiis occurrerunt aquae, et involvit eos Dominus in mediis fluctibus.
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
Reversaeque sunt aquae, et operuerunt currus et equites cuncti exercitus Pharaonis, qui sequentes ingressi fuerant mare: nec unus quidem superfuit ex eis.
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Filii autem Israel perrexerunt per medium sicci maris, et aquae eis erant quasi pro muro a dextris et a sinistris:
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
liberavitque Dominus in die illa Israel de manu Aegyptiorum.
31 When Israel saw the great power which the LORD used against the Egyptians, then the people feared the LORD, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
Et viderunt Aegyptios mortuos super littus maris, et manum magnam quam exercuerat Dominus contra eos: timuitque populus Dominum, et crediderunt Domino, et Moysi servo eius.
