Exodus, 15

1. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

1. Then Moses and the people sang this song to Yahweh: I will sing to Yahweh, the glorious one, horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.

2. The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

2. Yahweh is my strength and my song, and he is my salvation. He is my God and I will praise him; the God of my father: I will extol him.

3. The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.

3. Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.

4. Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

4. The chariots of Pharaoh and his army he has hurled into the sea; his chosen officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

5. The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

5. The deep covers them; they went down like a stone.

6. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

6. Your hand, O Yahweh, glorious and powerful, your right hand, O Yahweh, shatters the enemy.

7. And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.

7. In the splendor of your majesty you crush your foes; you send forth your fury, which devours them like stubble.

8. And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

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

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

9. The enemy said, "I will give chase and overtake, I will divide the spoil and make a feast of it. I shall draw my sword and my hand will destroy them."

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

10. A breath of yours and the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11. Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?

11. Who among the gods is like you, Yahweh? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in power, doing wonders?

12. Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

12. You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.

13. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

13. In unfailing love you guided the people you redeemed, in strength you led them to your holy house.

14. The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

14. Hearing this, the nations tremble; anguish grips the people of Philistia.

15. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

15. The chieftains of Edom are dismayed; the leaders of Moab are seized with trembling; the people of Canaan melt away.

16. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, [which] thou hast purchased.

16. Terror and dread fall upon them, your powerful arm leaves them still as stone until your people pass by, O Yahweh! till the people you have purchased pass by.

17. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which] thou hast made for thee to dwell in, [in] the Sanctuary, O Lord, [which] thy hands have established.

17. You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance, the place you chose to dwell in, O Yahweh, the sanctuary prepared by your hands.

18. The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

18. Yahweh will reign forever!

19. For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.

19. When Pharaoh's chariots, horses and horsemen went into the sea, Yahweh brought back the waters over them, while the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea.

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

20. Then Miriam, the prophetess, sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand and all the women followed her dancing and playing tambourines.

21. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

21. Miriam sang to them, "Sing to Yahweh the glorious one; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea."

22. So Moses brought Israel 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.

22. Moses then led Israel from the Red Sea towards the wilderness of Shur. They walked in the desert for three days without finding water.

23. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

23. They reached Marah but could not drink the water there as it was bitter. That is why the place is called Marah.

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

24. The people grumbled against Moses and said, "What shall we drink?"

25. And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

25. oses then cried out to Yahweh who showed him a piece of wood, and when he threw it in the water, the water became sweet. There Yahweh gave the people statutes and laws. There he tested them

26. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.

26. and said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of Yahweh, your God, and if you do what is right in his eyes, if you obey his commands and statutes, I will not inflict on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am Yahweh, the One who heals you."

27. And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

27. Then they came to Elim where there are twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and there they pitched their camp beside the water.
