New International Version

Exodus 15:1-27

The Song of Moses and Miriam

1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:

“I will sing to the Lord,

for he is highly exalted.

Both horse and driver

he has hurled into the sea.

2“The Lord is my strength and my defense15:2 Or song;

he has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise him,

my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3The Lord is a warrior;

the Lord is his name.

4Pharaoh’s chariots and his army

he has hurled into the sea.

The best of Pharaoh’s officers

are drowned in the Red Sea.15:4 Or the Sea of Reeds; also in verse 22

5The deep waters have covered them;

they sank to the depths like a stone.

6Your right hand, Lord,

was majestic in power.

Your right hand, Lord,

shattered the enemy.

7“In the greatness of your majesty

you threw down those who opposed you.

You unleashed your burning anger;

it consumed them like stubble.

8By the blast of your nostrils

the waters piled up.

The surging waters stood up like a wall;

the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy boasted,

‘I will pursue, I will overtake them.

I will divide the spoils;

I will gorge myself on them.

I will draw my sword

and my hand will destroy them.’

10But you blew with your breath,

and the sea covered them.

They sank like lead

in the mighty waters.

11Who among the gods

is like you, Lord?

Who is like you—

majestic in holiness,

awesome in glory,

working wonders?

12“You stretch out your right hand,

and the earth swallows your enemies.

13In your unfailing love you will lead

the people you have redeemed.

In your strength you will guide them

to your holy dwelling.

14The nations will hear and tremble;

anguish will grip the people of Philistia.

15The chiefs of Edom will be terrified,

the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,

the people15:15 Or rulers of Canaan will melt away;

16terror and dread will fall on them.

By the power of your arm

they will be as still as a stone—

until your people pass by, Lord,

until the people you bought15:16 Or created pass by.

17You will bring them in and plant them

on the mountain of your inheritance—

the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,

the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established.

18“The Lord reigns

for ever and ever.”

19When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen15:19 Or charioteers went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. 20Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. 21Miriam sang to them:

“Sing to the Lord,

for he is highly exalted.

Both horse and driver

he has hurled into the sea.”

The Waters of Marah and Elim

22Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. 23When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.15:23 Marah means bitter.) 24So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”

25Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.

There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test. 26He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

27Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.

出埃及记 15:1-27

摩西颂赞耶和华

1那时,摩西以色列人便歌颂耶和华说:

“我要歌颂耶和华,

因祂大获全胜,

祂把战马骑兵都卷入海中。

2耶和华是我的力量,我的诗歌,

也成了我的拯救;

祂是我的上帝,我要赞美祂;

祂是我父亲的上帝,我要尊崇祂。

3耶和华是战士,

祂名叫耶和华。

4祂把法老的战车和全军都抛进海中,

法老的优秀将领都葬身于红海,

5大水淹没他们,

他们如同石块沉入深海。

6耶和华啊,你大能的右手显出荣耀;

耶和华啊,你的右手击碎仇敌。

7你大显威严,击倒那些起来对抗你的人;

你大发雷霆,他们便像枯草遇火,

一烧而尽。

8你的鼻孔一呼气,海水便堆聚起来,

洪涛便堆起水墙,海底深处也都凝固。

9敌人说,‘追啊,追上他们,

瓜分他们的财物,尽情地掳掠他们,

拔出刀来把他们斩尽杀绝。’

10你叫风一吹,海水就淹没他们,

他们好像铅块一样沉没在怒海中。

11耶和华啊,万神之中,谁能像你?

谁能像你——威严神圣,

可颂可畏,广行神迹?

12你伸出右手,大地便吞灭他们。

13你以不变的爱引领你所救赎的子民,

以大能带他们进入你的圣所。

14各邦各族听见这些事就发抖,

非利士人也痛苦不堪,

15以东的族长惶恐,

摩押的英雄颤栗,

迦南的居民都胆战心惊。

16惊骇恐惧笼罩着他们。

耶和华啊,

你臂膀的大能吓得他们僵立如石,

直到你的子民都安然走过,

直到你买赎的子民都安然走过。

17耶和华啊,

你要带领自己的子民到你的山上安居——

到你为自己所造的住处,

主啊,到你亲手建的圣所。

18“耶和华必做王,直到永永远远。”

19法老的战车和骑兵追到海中,耶和华使海水回流淹没他们,以色列人却在海中踏着干地走到对岸。 20亚伦的姐姐米利暗是个先知,她手拿小鼓,带领妇女击鼓跳舞, 21唱道:“要歌颂耶和华,因祂大获全胜,把马和骑兵都抛进海中。”

苦水

22摩西带领以色列人离开红海,来到书珥旷野,走了三天仍然找不到水喝。 23到了玛拉,那里的水却是苦的,不能喝。因此那地方叫玛拉15:23 玛拉”意思是“苦”。24百姓就埋怨摩西说:“我们喝什么呢?” 25摩西向耶和华呼求,耶和华就指示他把一棵树丢在水中,使水变得甘甜。耶和华又在玛拉给百姓订下一些律例和法令,并在那里试验他们, 26说:“你们若留心听你们上帝耶和华的话,做我视为正的事,遵守我所订下的律例,我就不把降在埃及的疾病加在你们身上,因为我耶和华是医治你们的上帝。”

27到了以琳,那里有十二股水泉和七十棵棕树,他们就在水边安营。
