< Exodus 15 >

1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God, and said, "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his 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. This 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 his army he hurled into the sea. His elite 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 depths covered them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
浪濤淹沒了他們,像大石沉入海底。
6 Your right hand, LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, LORD, 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 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those who rise up against you. You sent forth your 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 With the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood upright like a wall. The depths solidified 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 said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall 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 You blew with your breath. 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 is like you, LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working 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. The earth swallowed them.
你伸出右手,大地就吞了他們;
13 "In your loving kindness you will lead the people that you have redeemed. You will guide them by your strength 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 When the peoples hear, they will tremble. Anguish will grip the 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 the chiefs of Edom will be terrified. Trembling will seize the leaders of Moab. All the inhabitants of 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 Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, until your people pass over, LORD, 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 shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, LORD, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, LORD, which 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 shall reign forever and ever."
上主為王,萬世無疆!
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked 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 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
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 answered them, "Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his 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 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no 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 came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was 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 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
那時百姓抱怨梅瑟說:「我們喝什麼呢﹖」
25 Then he cried to the LORD. The LORD showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, 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 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put 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 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。
