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!
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 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.
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 Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
上主是戰士，名叫「雅威。」
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).
法郎的戰車軍隊，他投於海中，使他的良將沉於紅海。
5 The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
浪濤淹沒了他們，像大石沉入海底。
6 O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
上主，你的右手大顯神能；上主，你的右手擊碎了敵人。
7 You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
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 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.
你鼻孔一噴氣，大水聚集，浪濤直立如堤，深淵凝固於海心。
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.’
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 But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
但你一噓氣，海將他們覆沒，像鉛沉入深淵。
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]!
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 When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
你伸出右手，大地就吞了他們；
13 You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
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 The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
外邦聽了，必驚慌顫慄，恐怖籠罩了培肋舍特居民；
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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
上主為王，萬世無疆!
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.”
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 Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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’].
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 complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
那時百姓抱怨梅瑟說：「我們喝什麼呢﹖」
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,
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 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.”
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 [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.
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。
