Exodus 15

1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God, and said, "I will sing to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord: and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea.

2 YAH 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.

The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he is become salvation to me: he is my God and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I will exalt him.

3 YHWH is a warrior. YHWH is his name.

The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he hurled into the sea. His elite officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

Pharao’s chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.

5 The depths covered them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

The depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone.

6 Your right hand, YHWH, is glorious in power. Your right hand, YHWH, shattered the enemy.

Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy.

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.

And in the multitude of they glory thou hast put down thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like stubble.

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.

And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depth were gathered together in the midst of the sea.

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.'

The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay them.

10 You blew with your breath. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like you, YHWH, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders?

Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders?

12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them.

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.

In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy habitation.

14 When the peoples hear, they will tremble. Anguish will grip the inhabitants of Philistia.

Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.

15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified. Trembling will seize the leaders of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.

Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.

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, YHWH, until the people pass over whom you have purchased.

Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness of thy arm: let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.

17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, YHWH, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, YHWH, which your hands have established.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18 YHWH shall reign forever and ever."

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHWH brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.

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.

So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and with dances:

21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

And she began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath thrown into the sea.

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.

And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through the wilderness, and found no water.

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.

And they came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of Mara, because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable to the place, calling it Mara, that is, bitterness.

24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"

And the people murmured against Moses, saying: What shall we drink?

25 Then he cried to YHWH. YHWH 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;

But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,

26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of YHWH 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 YHWH who heals you.

Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy healer.

27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they camped there by the waters.

And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by the waters.
