Éxodo 15
1 Entonces Moisés y los hijos de Israel cantaron este cántico a Yahvé. Dijeron así: “Cantaré a Yahvé por su altísima gloria; arrojó al mar al caballo y a su jinete.
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!
2 Yahvé es mi fortaleza y (el objeto) de mi canción. Él me ha salvado; Él es mi Dios, a quien celebraré, el Dios de mi padre, a quien he de ensalzar.
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.
3 El Señor es un guerrero poderoso; Yahvé es su nombre.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 Ha precipitado en el mar los carros del Faraón y su ejército; la flor de sus capitanes se hundió en el Mar Rojo.
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).
5 Los cubrió el abismo; como una piedra cayeron al fondo.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Tu diestra, Yahvé, es admirable por su poder; tu diestra, Yahvé, aplasta al enemigo.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 En tu grandeza sin medida derribas a los que contra Ti se levantan, desencadenas tu ira que los consume como hojarasca.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 Soplaron tus narices y se apiñaron las aguas; se pararon las olas como un dique, los abismos se cuajaron en medio del mar.
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.
9 Perseguiré, alcanzaré, había dicho el enemigo; repartiré despojos, se saciará mi alma; desenvainaré mi espada, los destruirá mi mano.
[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.’
10 Pero con tu viento soplaste y los cubrió el mar; se hundieron como plomo en las temibles aguas.
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 ¿Quién como Tú, Yahvé, entre los dioses? ¿Quién, como Tú, glorioso en santidad, terrible en prodigios, hacedor de maravillas?
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]!
12 Extendiste tu diestra, y los engulló la tierra.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 Guiaste en tu misericordia al pueblo por Ti redimido; con tu poder lo condujiste a la morada de tu santidad.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Lo oyeron los pueblos temblando; se amedrentó la gente de Filistea;
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 los príncipes de Edom se estremecieron; temblaron los valientes de Moab y trepidaron todos los moradores de Canaán.
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.
16 Cayó sobre ellos pavor y espanto; por la grandeza de tu brazo enmudecieron como una piedra, hasta que pasó tu pueblo, Yahvé, hasta que pasó el pueblo que Tú adquiriste.
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,
17 Tú los condujiste y los plantaste en el monte de tu herencia; en el lugar que Tú, oh Yahvé, preparaste para tu sede; en el Santuario, Señor, que fundaron tus manos.
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.
18 Yahvé reinará por siempre jamás.”
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 Porque cuando los caballos del Faraón y sus carros y su caballería entraron en el mar, Yahvé hizo volver sobre ellos las aguas marinas, en tanto que los hijos de Israel pasaron a pie enjuto por medio del mar.
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.”
20 También María, la profetisa, hermana de Aarón, tomó en su mano un tamboril, y todas las mujeres salieron en pos de ella, con tamboriles y danzando.
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
21 Y María les repetía: “Cantad a Yahvé por su altísima gloria; arrojó al mar al caballo y a su jinete.”
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.”
22 Moisés hizo partir a los hijos de Israel del Mar Rojo, y se dirigieron hacia el desierto de Sur, donde caminaron tres días en el desierto sin encontrar agua.
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.
23 Luego llegaron a Mará, mas no pudieron beber el agua, por ser amarga. Por eso llamaron (a ese lugar) Mará.
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’].
24 Y murmuró el pueblo contra Moisés, diciendo: “¿Qué vamos a beber?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Entonces clamó Moisés a Yahvé, y Yahvé le mostró un madero que Moisés echó en el agua, y el agua se volvió dulce. Allí Yahvé le dio (a Israel) leyes y estatutos, y allí lo probó,
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,
26 y dijo: “Si de veras escuchas la voz de Yahvé, tu Dios, y haces lo que es recto a sus ojos, dando oídos a sus mandamientos y guardando todos sus preceptos, no traeré sobre ti ninguna de las plagas que envié sobre los egipcios; porque Yo soy Yahvé, el que te sana.
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.”
27 Después llegaron a Elim, donde había doce fuentes de agua y setenta palmeras, y acamparon allí junto a las aguas.
[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.
