Exodus 15

1 Tunc cecinit Moyses et filii Israel carmen hoc Domino, et dixerunt: Cantemus Domino: gloriose enim magnificatus est, equum et ascensorem deiecit in mare.

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and thus did they say, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

2 Fortitudo mea, et laus mea Dominus, et factus est mihi in salutem: iste Deus meus, et glorificabo eum: Deus patris mei, et exaltabo eum.

My strength and song is the Lord, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will declare his praise, the God of my father, and I will exalt him.

3 Dominus quasi vir pugnator, omnipotens nomen eius.

The Eternal is the Lord of war; the Eternal is his name.

4 Currus Pharaonis et exercitum eius proiecit in mare: electi principes eius submersi sunt in Mari rubro.

The chariots of Pharaoh and his host hath he hurled into the sea; and the chosen of his captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

5 Abyssi operuerunt eos, descenderunt in profundum quasi lapis.

The depths have covered them; they went down to the bottom as a stone.

6 Dextera tua Domine magnificata est in fortitudine: dextera tua, Domine, percussit inimicum.

Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

7 Et in multitudine gloriae tuae deposuisti adversarios tuos: misisti iram tuam, quae devoravit eos sicut stipulam.

And in the greatness of thy excellency hast thou overthrown those that rose up against thee; thou didst send forth thy wrath, it consumed them as stubble.

8 Et in spiritu furoris tui congregatae sunt aquae: stetit unda fluens, congregata sunt abyssi in medio mari.

And with the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up together, the floods stood upright as a wall; congealed were the depths in the heart of the sea.

9 Dixit inimicus: Persequar et comprehendam, dividam spolia, implebitur anima mea: evaginabo gladium meum, interficiet eos manus mea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

10 Flavit spiritus tuus, et operuit eos mare: submersi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis vehementibus.

Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in mighty waters.

11 Quis similis tui in fortibus Domine? quis similis tui, magnificus in sanctitate, terribilis atque laudabilis, faciens mirabilia?

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty? who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 Extendisti manum tuam, et devoravit eos terra.

Thou didst stretch out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13 Dux fuisti in misericordia tua populo quem redemisti: et portasti eum in fortitudine tua, ad habitaculum sanctum tuum.

Thou leadest forth in thy kindness the people thou hast redeemed; thou guidest it in thy strength unto the habitation of thy holiness.

14 Ascenderunt populi, et irati sunt: dolores obtinuerunt habitatores Philisthiim.

Nations hear it and tremble: sorrow seizeth the inhabitants of Palestine.

15 Tunc conturbati sunt principes Edom, robustos Moab obtinuit tremor: obriguerunt omnes habitatores Chanaan.

Then were troubled the dukes of Edom; the mighty men of Moab, trembling seizeth them; faint-hearted become all the inhabitants of Canaan. l

16 Irruat super eos formido et pavor, in magnitudine brachii tui: fiant immobiles quasi lapis, donec pertranseat populus tuus Domine, donec pertranseat populus tuus iste, quem possedisti.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thy arm they shall be still as a stone: till thy people pass over, O Lord, till this people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

17 Introduces eos, et plantabis in monte hereditatis tuae, firmissimo habitaculo tuo quod operatus es Domine: sanctuarium tuum Domine, quod firmaverunt manus tuae.

Thou wilt bring them, and plant them on the mountain of thy inheritance, the place, O Lord, which thou hast wrought for thy residence, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18 Dominus regnabit in aeternum et ultra.

The Lord will reign for ever and ever.

19 Ingressus est enim eques Pharao cum curribus et equitibus eius in mare: et reduxit super eos Dominus aquas maris: filii autem Israel ambulaverunt per siccum in medio eius.

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again upon them the waters of the sea; but the children of Israel went on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

20 Sumpsit ergo Maria prophetissa, soror Aaron, tympanum in manu sua: egressaeque sunt omnes mulieres post eam cum tympanis et choris,

Then took Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

21 quibus praecinebat, dicens: Cantemus Domino, gloriose enim magnificatus est, equum et ascensorem eius deiecit in mare.

And Miriam began her song to them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

22 Tulit autem Moyses Israel de mari rubro, et egressi sunt in desertum Sur: ambulaveruntque tribus diebus per solitudinem, et non inveniebant aquam.

And Moses caused Israel to depart 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.

23 Et venerunt in Mara, nec poterant bibere aquas de Mara, eo quod essent amarae: unde et congruum loco nomen imposuit, vocans illum Mara, id est, amaritudinem.

And they came to Marah; but they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore they called its name Marah.

24 Et murmuravit populus contra Moysen, dicens: Quid bibemus?

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

25 At ille clamavit ad Dominum. qui ostendit ei lignum: quod cum misisset in aquas, in dulcedinem versae sunt. ibi constituit ei praecepta, atque iudicia, et ibi tentavit eum,

And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, which he cast into the waters, and the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them.

26 dicens: Si audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et quod rectum est coram eo feceris, et obedieris mandatis eius, custodierisque omnia praecepta illius, cunctum languorem, quem posui in Aegypto, non inducam super te: ego enim sum Dominus Deus sanator tuus.

And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and wilt keep all his statutes: I will put none of those diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I the Lord am thy physician.

27 Venerunt autem in Elim filii Israel, ubi erant duodecim fontes aquarum, et septuaginta palmae: et castrametati sunt iuxta aquas.

And they came to Elim, and there were twelve wells of water, and seventy palm-trees: and they encamped there by the water.
