出埃及记 14
1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “你吩咐以色列人转回，安营在比·哈希录前，密夺和海的中间，对着巴力· 洗分，靠近海边安营。
Give orders to the children of Israel to go back and put up their tents before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon, opposite to which you are to put up your tents by the sea.
3 法老必说：‘以色列人在地中绕迷了，旷野把他们困住了。’
And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are wandering without direction, they are shut in by the waste land.
4 我要使法老的心刚硬，他要追赶他们，我便在法老和他全军身上得荣耀；埃及人就知道我是耶和华。”于是以色列人这样行了。
And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 有人告诉埃及王说：“百姓逃跑。”法老和他的臣仆就向百姓变心，说：“我们容以色列人去，不再服事我们，这做的是什么事呢？”
And word came to Pharaoh of the flight of the people: and the feeling of Pharaoh and of his servants about the people was changed, and they said, Why have we let Israel go, so that they will do no more work for us?
6 法老就预备他的车辆，带领军兵同去，
So he had his war-carriage made ready and took his people with him:
7 并带着六百辆特选的车和埃及所有的车，每辆都有车兵长。
And he took six hundred carriages, all the carriages of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
8 耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬，他就追赶以色列人，因为以色列人是昂然无惧地出埃及。
And the Lord made the heart of Pharaoh hard, and he went after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel had gone out without fear.
9 埃及人追赶他们，法老一切的马匹、车辆、马兵，与军兵就在海边上，靠近比·哈希录，对着巴力·洗分，在他们安营的地方追上了。
But the Egyptians went after them, all the horses and carriages of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them in their tents by the sea, by Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 法老临近的时候，以色列人举目看见埃及人赶来，就甚惧怕，向耶和华哀求。
And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians coming after them, and were full of fear; and their cry went up to God.
11 他们对摩西说：“难道在埃及没有坟地，你把我们带来死在旷野吗？你为什么这样待我们，将我们从埃及领出来呢？
And they said to Moses, Was there no resting-place for the dead in Egypt, that you have taken us away to come to our death in the waste land? why have you taken us out of Egypt?
12 我们在埃及岂没有对你说过，不要搅扰我们，容我们服事埃及人吗？因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。”
Did we not say to you in Egypt, Let us be as we are, working for the Egyptians? for it is better to be the servants of the Egyptians than to come to our death in the waste land.
13 摩西对百姓说：“不要惧怕，只管站住！看耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩。因为，你们今天所看见的埃及人必永远不再看见了。
But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.
14 耶和华必为你们争战；你们只管静默，不要作声。”
The Lord will make war for you, you have only to keep quiet.
15 耶和华对摩西说：“你为什么向我哀求呢？你吩咐以色列人往前走。
And the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? give the children of Israel the order to go forward.
16 你举手向海伸杖，把水分开。以色列人要下海中走干地。
And let your rod be lifted up and your hand stretched out over the sea, and it will be parted in two; and the children of Israel will go through on dry land.
17 我要使埃及人的心刚硬，他们就跟着下去。我要在法老和他的全军、车辆、马兵上得荣耀。
And I will make the heart of the Egyptians hard, and they will go in after them: and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and over his army, his war-carriages, and his horsemen.
18 我在法老和他的车辆、马兵上得荣耀的时候，埃及人就知道我是耶和华了。”
And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when I get honour over Pharaoh and his war-carriages and his horsemen.
19 在以色列营前行走 神的使者，转到他们后边去；云柱也从他们前边转到他们后边立住。
Then the angel of God, who had been before the tents of Israel, took his place at their back; and the pillar of cloud, moving from before them, came to rest at their back:
20 在埃及营和以色列营中间有云柱，一边黑暗，一边发光，终夜两下不得相近。
And it came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel; and there was a dark cloud between them, and they went on through the night; but the one army came no nearer to the other all the night.
21 摩西向海伸杖，耶和华便用大东风，使海水一夜退去，水便分开，海就成了干地。
And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, the Lord with a strong east wind made the sea go back all night, and the waters were parted in two and the sea became dry land.
22 以色列人下海中走干地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。
And the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land: and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.
23 埃及人追赶他们，法老一切的马匹、车辆，和马兵都跟着下到海中。
Then the Egyptians went after them into the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses and his war-carriages and his horsemen.
24 到了晨更的时候，耶和华从云火柱中向埃及的军兵观看，使埃及的军兵混乱了；
And in the morning watch, the Lord, looking out on the armies of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, sent trouble on the army of the Egyptians;
25 又使他们的车轮脱落，难以行走，以致埃及人说：“我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧！因耶和华为他们攻击我们了。”
And made the wheels of their war-carriages stiff, so that they had hard work driving them: so the Egyptians said, Let us go in flight from before the face of Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
26 耶和华对摩西说：“你向海伸杖，叫水仍合在埃及人并他们的车辆、马兵身上。”
And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the sea, and the waters will come back again on the Egyptians, and on their war-carriages and on their horsemen.
27 摩西就向海伸杖，到了天一亮，海水仍旧复原。埃及人避水逃跑的时候，耶和华把他们推翻在海中，
And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, at dawn the sea came flowing back, meeting the Egyptians in their flight, and the Lord sent destruction on the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 水就回流，淹没了车辆和马兵。那些跟着以色列人下海法老的全军，连一个也没有剩下。
And the waters came back, covering the war-carriages and the horsemen and all the army of Pharaoh which went after them into the middle of the sea; not one of them was to be seen.
29 以色列人却在海中走干地；水在他们的左右作了墙垣。
But the children of Israel went through the sea walking on dry land, and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.
30 当日，耶和华这样拯救以色列人脱离埃及人的手，以色列人看见埃及人的死尸都在海边了。
So that day the Lord gave Israel salvation from the hands of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea's edge.
31 以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所行的大事，就敬畏耶和华，又信服他和他的仆人摩西。
And Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done against the Egyptians, and the fear of the Lord came on the people and they had faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
