2 Mojzes 15

1 Potem so Mojzes in Izraelovi otroci peli Gospodu tole pesem in govorili, rekoč: »Prepeval bom Gospodu, kajti sijajno je zmagal. Konja in njegovega jezdeca je vrgel v morje.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord: and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea.

2 Gospod je moja moč in pesem in postal je rešitev moje duše. On je moj Bog in pripravil mu bom prebivališče; Bog mojega očeta in poviševal ga bom.

The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he is become salvation to me: he is my God and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I will exalt him.

3 Gospod je bojevnik. Gospod je njegovo ime.

The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name.

4 Faraonove vozove in njegovo vojsko je vrgel v morje. Tudi njegovi izbrani častniki so se utopili v Rdečem morju.

Pharao’s chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.

5 Globine so jih pokrile. Na dno so potonili kakor kamen.

The depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone.

6 Tvoja desnica, oh Gospod, je postala veličastna v oblasti. Tvoja desnica, oh Gospod, je sovražnika razbila na koščke.

Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy.

7 V veličini svoje odličnosti si premagal tiste, ki so se vzdignili zoper tebe. Ti pošiljaš svoj bes, ki jih je použil kakor strnišče.

And in the multitude of they glory thou hast put down thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like stubble.

8 S sunkom vetra tvojih nosnic so bile vode zbrane skupaj, poplave so stale pokončno kakor kup in globine so bile strjene v srcu morja.

And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depth were gathered together in the midst of the sea.

9 Sovražnik je rekel: ›Zasledoval bom, dohitel bom, razdelil bom ukradeno blago. Moje poželenje bo zadovoljeno nad njimi. Izvlekel bom svoj meč, moja roka jih bo uničila.‹

The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay them.

10 Zapihal si s svojim vetrom, morje jih je pokrilo. Potonili so kakor svinec v mogočnih vodah.

Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Kdo je podoben tebi, oh Gospod, med bogovi? Kdo je podoben tebi, veličasten v svetosti, strašen v hvalah, ki delaš čudeže?

Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders?

12 Izteguješ svojo desnico, zemlja jih je požrla.

Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them.

13 V svojem usmiljenju si vodil svoje ljudstvo, ki si ga odkupil. V svoji moči si jih vodil k svojemu svetemu prebivališču.

In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy habitation.

14 Ljudstvo bo slišalo in bo prestrašeno. Bridkost se bo polastila filistejskih prebivalcev.

Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.

15 Potem bodo edómski vojvode osupli; mogočni možje Moába, polastilo se jih bo trepetanje; vsi prebivalci Kánaana se bodo stopili.

Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.

16 Strah in groza bosta padla nanje. Z veličino tvojega lakta bodo tako mirni kakor kamen, dokler tvoje ljudstvo ne gre mimo, oh Gospod, dokler ne gre mimo ljudstvo, ki si ga ti odkupil.

Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness of thy arm: let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.

17 Privedel jih boš noter in jih zasadil na gori svoje dediščine, na kraju, oh Gospod, ki si ga ti naredil zase, da v njem prebivaš, v Svetišču, oh Gospod, ki so ga tvoje roke osnovale.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18 Gospod bo kraljeval na veke vekov.«

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

19 Kajti faraonov konj je šel noter v morje s svojimi bojnimi vozovi in s svojimi konjeniki in Gospod je nadnje ponovno privedel morske vode, toda Izraelovi otroci so šli po suhi zemlji sredi morja.

For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.

20 Mirjam, prerokinja, Aronova sestra, je v svojo roko vzela tamburin in vse ženske so za njo odšle ven s tamburini in s plesi.

So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and with dances:

21 Mirjam jim je odgovorila: »Prepevajte Gospodu, kajti sijajno je zmagal; konja in njegovega jezdeca je vrgel v morje.«

And she began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath thrown into the sea.

22 Tako je Mojzes privedel Izraela od Rdečega morja in šli so ven v divjino Šur, in šli so tri dni v divjino, pa niso našli nobene vode.

And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through the wilderness, and found no water.

23 Ko so prišli do Mare, niso mogli piti od vodá Mare, kajti bile so grenke. Zato je bilo njeno ime imenovano Mara.

And they came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of Mara, because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable to the place, calling it Mara, that is, bitterness.

24 Ljudstvo je godrnjalo zoper Mojzesa, rekoč: »Kaj bomo pili?«

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

25 In klical je h Gospodu in Gospod mu je pokazal les. Ko je le-tega vrgel v vode, so vode postale sladke. Tam je zanje naredil zakon in odredbo in tam jih je preizkusil

But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,

26 in rekel: »Če boš pazljivo prisluhnil glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga in boš delal to, kar je pravilno v njegovem pogledu in boš prisluhnil njegovim zapovedim in se držal vseh njegovih zakonov, ne bom položil nate nobene od teh bolezni, ki sem jih privedel nad Egipčane, kajti jaz sem Gospod, ki te ozdravlja.«

Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy healer.

27 In prišli so do Elíma, kjer je bilo dvanajst vodnjakov vode in sedemdeset palm, in tam so se utaborili ob vodah.

And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by the waters.
