Exodus 14
1 Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel: Reversi castrametentur e regione Phihahiroth quae est inter Magdalum et mare contra Beelsephon: in conspectu eius castra ponetis super mare.
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hachiroth, between Migdol and the sea; in front of Baal-zephon; opposite to this shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 Dicturusque est Pharao super filiis Israel: Coartati sunt in terra, conclusit eos desertum.
And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 Et indurabo cor eius, ac persequetur vos: et glorificabor in Pharaone, et in omni exercitu eius. scientque Aegyptii quia ego sum Dominus. Feceruntque ita.
And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, that he shall follow after them; and I will get myself honor on Pharaoh, and on all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord; and they did so.
5 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?
And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed with respect to the people, and they said, What is this which we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 Iunxit ergo currum, et omnem populum suum assumpsit secum.
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him.
7 Tulitque sexcentos currus electos, et quidquid in Aegypto curruum fuit: et duces totius exercitus.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 Induravitque Dominus cor Pharaonis regis Aegypti, et persecutus est filios Israel: at illi egressi sunt in manu excelsa.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 Cumque persequerentur Aegyptii vestigia praecedentium, repererunt eos in castris super mare: omnis equitatus et currus Pharaonis, et universus exercitus erant in Phihahiroth contra Beelsephon.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and they overtook them encamping by the sea, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, beside Pi-hachiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 Cumque appropinquasset Pharao, levantes filii Israel oculos, viderunt Aegyptios post se: et timuerunt valde: clamaveruntque ad Dominum,
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were greatly afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.
11 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?
And they said unto Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? what is this which thou hast done to us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?
12 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.
Is not this the word that we spoke unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 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.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will do for you today; for as ye have seen the Egyptians today, ye shall not see them again any more for ever.
14 Dominus pugnabit pro vobis, et vos tacebitis.
The Lord will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Quid clamas ad me? Loquere filiis Israel ut proficiscantur.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward;
16 Tu autem eleva virgam tuam, et extende manum tuam super mare, et divide illud: ut gradiantur filii Israel in medio mari per siccum.
But do thou lift up thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17 Ego autem indurabo cor Aegyptiorum ut persequantur vos: et glorificabor in Pharaone, et in omni exercitu eius, et in curribus et in equitibus illius.
And I, behold, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get myself honor on Pharaoh, and on all his host, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.
18 Et scient Aegyptii quia ego sum Dominus cum glorificatus fuero in Pharaone, et in curribus atque in equitibus eius.
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have got myself honor on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.
19 Tollensque se angelus Domini, qui praecedebat castra Israel, abiit post eos: et cum eo pariter columna nubis, priora dimittens, post tergum
And the angel of God, that went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
20 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.
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to the first], but it gave light by night [to these]: and the one came not near unto the other all the night.
21 Cumque extendisset Moyses manum super mare, abstulit illud Dominus flante vento vehementi et urente tota nocte, et vertit in siccum: divisaque est aqua.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 Et ingressi sunt filii Israel per medium sicci maris: erat enim aqua quasi murus a dextra eorum et laeva.
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them, on their right hand, and on their left.
23 Persequentesque Aegyptii ingressi sunt post eos, et omnis equitatus Pharaonis, currus eius et equites per medium maris.
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen, to the midst of the sea.
24 Iamque advenerat vigilia matutina, et ecce respiciens Dominus super castra Aegyptiorum per columnam ignis et nubis, interfecit exercitum eorum:
And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the Lord looked unto the camp of the Egyptians with the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and brought into confusion the camp of the Egyptians;
25 et subvertit rotas curruum, ferebanturque in profundum. Dixerunt ergo Aegyptii: Fugiamus Israelem: Dominus enim pugnat pro eis contra nos.
And he took off the wheels of their chariots, and caused them to move onward with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam super mare, ut revertantur aquae ad Aegyptios super currus et equites eorum.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, and the waters shall return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over their horsemen.
27 Cumque extendisset Moyses manum contra mare, reversum est primo diluculo ad priorem locum: fugientibusque Aegyptiis occurrerunt aquae, et involvit eos Dominus in mediis fluctibus.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned, when the morning appeared, to its strength; while the Egyptians were fleeing against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 Reversaeque sunt aquae, et operuerunt currus et equites cuncti exercitus Pharaonis, qui sequentes ingressi fuerant mare: nec unus quidem superfuit ex eis.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen with all the host of Pharaoh that came after them into the sea: there remained of them not even one.
29 Filii autem Israel perrexerunt per medium sicci maris, et aquae eis erant quasi pro muro a dextris et a sinistris:
But the children of Israel walked upon dry ground in the midst of the sea; and the waters were unto them a wall on their right hand, and on their left.
30 liberavitque Dominus in die illa Israel de manu Aegyptiorum.
Thus the Lord saved Israel on that day out of the land of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the shore of the sea.
31 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.
And Israel saw that great power which the Lord had shown on the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and then believed in the Lord, and in Moses his servant.
