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 Yah es mi fuerza y mi canción. Se ha convertido en mi salvación. Este es mi Dios, y lo alabaré; el Dios de mi padre, y lo exaltaré.
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 Yahvé es un hombre de guerra. Yahvé es su nombre.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 Ha arrojado al mar los carros del Faraón y su ejército. Sus capitanes elegidos se hunden 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 Las profundidades los cubren. Bajaron a las profundidades como una piedra.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Tu mano derecha, Yahvé, es gloriosa en poder. Tu mano derecha, Yahvé, hace pedazos 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 la grandeza de tu excelencia, derrotas a los que se levantan contra ti. Envías tu ira. Los consume como rastrojo.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 Con el soplo de tus narices, las aguas se amontonaron. Las inundaciones se levantaron como un montón. Las profundidades se congelaron en el corazón 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 El enemigo dijo: “Voy a perseguir. Voy a alcanzarlo. Repartiré el botín. Mi deseo será satisfecho en ellos. Sacaré mi espada. Mi mano los destruirá”.
[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 Soplaste con tu viento. El mar los cubrió. Se hundieron como el plomo en las poderosas 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 es como tú, Yahvé, entre los dioses? Que es como tú, glorioso en santidad, temeroso en las alabanzas, haciendo 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 mano derecha. La tierra se los tragó.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 “Tú, en tu amorosa bondad, has guiado al pueblo que has redimido. Los has guiado con tu fuerza hacia tu santa morada.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Los pueblos han oído. Tiemblan. Los dolores se han apoderado de los habitantes 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 Entonces los jefes de Edom quedaron consternados. El temblor se apodera de los poderosos hombres de Moab. Todos los habitantes de Canaán se han derretido.
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 El terror y el pavor caen sobre ellos. Por la grandeza de tu brazo están tan quietos como una piedra, hasta que tu pueblo pase, Yahvé, hasta que pasen las personas que has comprado.
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 Los traerás y los plantarás en el monte de tu heredad, el lugar, Yahvé, que te has hecho para habitar: el santuario, Señor, que tus manos han establecido.
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 los siglos de los siglos”.
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 Porque los caballos del faraón entraron con sus carros y con su gente de a caballo en el mar, y el Señor hizo volver las aguas del mar sobre ellos; pero los hijos de Israel caminaron en seco en 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 La profetisa Miriam, hermana de Aarón, tomó un pandero en su mano, y todas las mujeres salieron tras ella con panderos y danzas.
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 Miriam les respondió, “Cantad a Yahvé, porque ha triunfado gloriosamente. Ha arrojado 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 condujo a Israel desde el Mar Rojo, y salieron al desierto de Shur; anduvieron tres días por el desierto y no encontraron 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 Cuando llegaron a Mara, no pudieron beber de las aguas de Mara, porque eran amargas. Por eso su nombre fue llamado Mara.
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 El pueblo murmuró contra Moisés, diciendo: “¿Qué vamos a beber?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Entonces él clamó a Yahvé. Yahvé le mostró un árbol, y él lo arrojó a las aguas, y las aguas se endulzaron. Allí les hizo un estatuto y una ordenanza, y allí los puso a prueba.
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 Les dijo: “Si escucháis con diligencia la voz del Señor, vuestro Dios, y hacéis lo que es justo a sus ojos, y prestáis atención a sus mandamientos y guardáis todos sus estatutos, no pondré sobre vosotros ninguna de las enfermedades que puse sobre los egipcios, porque yo soy el Señor que os 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 Llegaron a Elim, donde había doce fuentes de agua y setenta palmeras. Allí acamparon 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.
