Exodus 15
1 Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
| عِنْدَئِذٍ شَدَا مُوسَى وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِهَذِهِ التَّسْبِحَةِ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ تَمَجَّدَ جِدّاً، الْفَرَسَ وَرَاكِبَهُ قَدْ طَرَحَهُمَا فِي الْبَحْرِ. | ١ |
2 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
| الرَّبُّ قُوَّتِي وَنَشِيدِي وَقَدْ صَارَ خَلاصِي، هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهِي فَأُسَبِّحُهُ. وَإِلَهُ أَبِي فَأُعَظِّمُهُ. | ٢ |
3 Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
| الرَّبُّ مُحَارِبٌ،’الرَّبُّ‘اسْمُهُ. | ٣ |
4 He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
| طَرَحَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَيْشَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ، وَأَغْرَقَ خِيرَةَ قَادَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ. | ٤ |
5 The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
| غَمَرَتْهُمُ اللُّجَجُ فَغَاصُوا إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ كَالْحِجَارَةِ. | ٥ |
6 O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
| يَمِينُكَ يَا رَبُّ مَجِيدَةٌ فِي قُوَّتِهَا. بِيَمِينِكَ يَا رَبُّ تَسْحَقُ الْعَدُوَّ. | ٦ |
7 You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
| بِعَظَمَةِ جَلالِكَ تَصْرَعُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ. تُرْسِلُ غَضَبَكَ فَتَأْكُلُهُمْ كَالقَشِّ. | ٧ |
8 You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
| بِرِيحِكَ الْعَاصِفَةِ تَكَوَّمَتِ الْمِيَاهُ، وَانْتَصَبَتِ اللُّجَجُ فِي قَلْبِ الْبَحْرِ. | ٨ |
9 [Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
| قَالَ الْعَدُوُّ: أَسْعَى وَرَاءَهُمْ فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ. أُقَسِّمُ أَسْلابَهُمْ وَتَشْتَفِي مِنْهُمْ نَفْسِي. أَسْتَلُّ سَيْفِي بِيَدِي وَأُهْلِكُهُمْ. | ٩ |
10 But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
| لَكِنَّكَ أَطْلَقْتَ رِيحَكَ فَغَشِيَهُمُ الْبَحْرُ، فَغَرِقُوا كَالرَّصَاصِ فِي اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ | ١٠ |
11 Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
| فَمَنْ مِثْلُكَ يَا رَبُّ بَيْنَ كُلِّ الآلِهَةِ؟ مَنْ مِثْلُكَ جَلِيلٌ فِي الْقَدَاسَةِ مَهِيبٌ فِي الْمَجْدِ، صَانِعٌ عَجَائِبَ! | ١١ |
12 When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
| بَسَطْتَ يَمِينَكَ فَابْتَلَعَتْهُمُ الأَرْضُ. | ١٢ |
13 You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
| قُدْتَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الشَّعْبَ الَّذِي افْتَدَيْتَهُ، وَبِقُدْرَتِكَ هَدَيْتَهُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ. | ١٣ |
14 The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
| فَتَسْمَعُ الشُّعُوبُ وَتَرْتَعِبُ، وَتَسْتَوْلِي الرَّعْدَةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ فِلِسْطِينَ. | ١٤ |
15 The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
| آنَئِذٍ يَنْدَهِشُ أُمَرَاءُ أَدُومَ، جَبَابِرَةُ مُوآبَ تَأْخُذُهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ، وَيَذُوبُ حُكَّامُ كَنْعَانَ هَلَعاً. | ١٥ |
16 They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
| يَسُودُهُمُ الْخَوْفُ والرَّعْدَةُ وَبِقُدْرَةِ ذِرَاعِكَ يَجْمُدُونَ كَالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَعْبُرَ شَعْبُكَ يَا رَبُّ، حَتَّى يَعْبُرَ شَعْبُكَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَيْتَهُ. | ١٦ |
17 to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
| تَأْتِي بِهِمْ وَتَغْرِسُهُمْ فِي جَبَلِ مِيرَاثِكَ، الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ يَا رَبُّ لِسُكْنَاكَ، الْمَقْدِسِ الَّذِي أَعَدَّتْهُ يَا رَبُّ يَدَاكَ. | ١٧ |
18 O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
| الرَّبُّ يَمْلِكُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ. | ١٨ |
19 The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا دَخَلَتْ خُيُولُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُ وَفُرْسَانُهُ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مِيَاهَ الْبَحْرِ، أَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَشَوْا عَلَى الْيَابِسَةِ فِي وَسْطِ الْبَحْرِ». | ١٩ |
20 Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَخَذَتْ مَرْيَمُ النَّبِيَّةُ أُخْتُ هَرُونَ، الدُّفَّ بِيَدِهَا، فَتَبِعَهَا جَمِيعُ النِّسَاءِ بالدُّفِّ وَالرَّقْصِ. | ٢٠ |
21 and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
| فَكَانَتْ مَرْيَمُ تُجَاوِبُهُنَّ: «رَنِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَمَجَّدَ جِدّاً. الْفَرَسَ وَرَاكِبَهُ قَدْ طَرَحَهُمَا فِي الْبَحْرِ». | ٢١ |
22 Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ مُوسَى بِإِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ، وَتَوَجَّهُوا نَحْوَ صَحْرَاءِ شُورٍ، وَظَلُّوا يَجُوبُونَ الصَّحْرَاءَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً. | ٢٢ |
23 So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
| وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلُوا إِلَى مَارَّةَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مَاءَهَا لِمَرَارَتِهِ، لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتْ «مَارَّةَ». | ٢٣ |
24 The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
| فَتَذَمَّرَ الشَّعْبُ عَلَى مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «مَاذَا نَشْرَبُ؟» | ٢٤ |
25 So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
| فَاسْتَغَاثَ بِالرَّبِّ، فَأَرَاهُ الرَّبُّ شَجَرَةً فَأَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الْمَاءِ، فَصَارَ عَذْباً. وَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً وَضَعَ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّعْبِ فَرِيضَةً وَشَرِيعَةً، وَامْتَحَنَهُ، | ٢٥ |
26 by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
| وَقَالَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ تَحْرِصُ عَلَى سَمَاعِ صَوْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَتَفْعَلُ مَا هُوَ حَقٌّ أَمَامَهُ، وَتُطِيعُ وَصَايَاهُ وَتُحَافِظُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ فَرَائِضِهِ، فَلَنْ أَدَعَكَ تُقَاسِي مِنْ أَيِّ مَرَضٍ مِنَ الأَمْرَاضِ الَّتِي ابْتَلَيْتُ بِها الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ شَافِيكَ». | ٢٦ |
27 [After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
| ثُمَّ بَلَغُوا إِيلِيمَ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنَ مَاءٍ وَسَبْعُونَ نَخْلَةً. فَخَيَّمُوا إِلَى جُوَارِ عُيُونِ الْمَاءِ. | ٢٧ |
