Liber Exodus, 15

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

1. Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying, "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

2. Fortitudo mea et robur meum Dominus, et factus est mihi in salutem. Iste Deus meus, et glorificabo eum; Deus patris mei, et exaltabo eum!

2. The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3. Dominus quasi vir pugnator; Dominus nomen eius!

3. The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name.

4. Currus pharaonis et exercitum eius proiecit in mare; electi bellatores eius submersi sunt in mari Rubro.

4. "Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea; and his picked officers are sunk in the Red Sea.

5. Abyssi operuerunt eos, descenderunt in profundum quasi lapis.

5. The floods cover them; they went down into the depths like a stone.

6. Dextera tua, Domine, magnifice in fortitudine, dextera tua, Domine, percussit inimicum.

6. Thy right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, thy right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.

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

7. In the greatness of thy majesty thou overthrowest thy adversaries; thou sendest forth thy fury, it consumes them like stubble.

8. Et in spiritu furoris tui congregatae sunt aquae; stetit ut agger unda fluens, coagulatae sunt abyssi in medio mari.

8. At the blast of thy nostrils the waters piled up, the floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

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

9. The enemy said, `I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of 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.

10. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11. Quis similis tui in diis, Domine? Quis similis tui, magnificus in sanctitate, terribilis atque laudabilis, faciens mirabilia?

11. "Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, majestic in holiness, terrible in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

12. Extendisti manum tuam, devoravit eos terra.

12. 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.

13. "Thou hast led in thy steadfast love the people whom thou hast redeemed, thou hast guided them by thy strength to thy holy abode.

14. Attenderunt populi et commoti sunt,dolores obtinuerunt habitatores Philisthaeae.

14. The peoples have heard, they tremble; pangs have seized on the inhabitants of Philistia.

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

15. Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; the leaders of Moab, trembling seizes them; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

16. Irruit super eos formido et pavor; in magnitudine brachii tui fiunt immobiles quasi lapis, donec pertranseat populus tuus, Domine, donec pertranseat populus tuus iste, quem possedisti.

16. Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of thy arm, they are as still as a stone, till thy people, O LORD, pass by, till the people pass by whom thou hast purchased.

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

17. Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them on thy own mountain, the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thy abode, the sanctuary, LORD, which thy hands have established.

18. Dominus regnabit in aeternum et ultra!”.

18. The LORD will reign for ever and ever."

19. Ingressi sunt enim equi pharaonis cum curribus et equitibus eius in mare, et reduxit super eos Dominus aquas maris; filii autem Israel ambu laverunt per siccum in medio eius.

19. For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in 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,

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

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

21. And Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has 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.

22. Then Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur; 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 vocatum est nomen eius Mara (id est Amaritudo).

23. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.

24. Et murmuravit populus contra Moysen dicens: “Quid bibemus?”.

24. 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

25. And he cried to the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD 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 oboedieris mandatis eius custodierisque omnia praecepta illius, cunctum languorem, quem posui in Aegypto, non inducam super te: Ego enim Dominus sanator tuus”.

26. saying, "If you will diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give heed to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon you which I put upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD, your healer."

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

27. Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the water.
