Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Lalu Musa dan orang-orang Israel menyanyikan nyanyian ini untuk memuji TUHAN, "Aku mau menyanyi bagi TUHAN, sebab Ia telah menang dengan gemilang. Semua kuda dan penunggangnya dilemparkan-Nya ke dalam laut.
2 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation: This is my God, and I will glorify him; My father's God, and I will extol him.
TUHAN pembelaku yang kuat; Dialah yang menyelamatkan aku. Ia Allahku, aku mau memuji Dia, Allah pujaan nenek moyangku, kuagungkan Dia.
3 Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah, his name.
TUHAN adalah pejuang yang perkasa, TUHAN, itulah nama-Nya.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
Tentara Mesir dan semua keretanya dilemparkan-Nya ke dalam laut. Perwira-perwira yang paling gagah tenggelam di Laut Gelagah.
5 The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.
Mereka ditelan laut yang dalam, dan seperti batu turun ke dasarnya.
6 Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Kekuatan-Mu sangat menakjubkan, ya TUHAN, Kaubuat musuh habis berantakan.
7 And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble.
Dengan keagungan-Mu yang besar Kaubinasakan semua yang melawan Engkau. Kemarahan-Mu berkobar seperti api, dan membakar mereka seperti jerami.
8 And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Laut Kautiup, air menggulung tinggi, berdiri tegak seperti tembok, sehingga dasar laut dapat dilalui.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.
Kata musuh, 'Mereka akan kukejar dan kutangkap, kuhunus pedangku, dan kutumpas mereka. Lalu semua harta mereka kurampas, kubagi-bagikan dan kunikmati sampai puas.'
10 Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Tetapi TUHAN dengan sekali bernapas mendatangkan bagi Mesir hari yang naas. Mereka tenggelam seperti timah yang berat di dalam gelora air yang dahsyat.
11 Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness, Fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?
Allah mana dapat menandingi Engkau, ya TUHAN Yang Mahamulia dan suci? Siapa dapat membuat keajaiban-keajaiban dan perbuatan besar seperti TUHAN?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Kaurentangkan tangan kanan-Mu, maka lenyaplah musuh ditelan bumi.
13 Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness.
Kaupimpin bangsa yang telah Kauselamatkan ini, karena Engkau setia kepada janji-Mu. Dengan kekuatan besar mereka Kaulindungi, dan Kaubimbing ke tanahmu yang suci.
14 The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
Bangsa-bangsa mendengarnya dan gemetar; orang Filistin dan para pemimpin Edom gempar. Orang Moab yang perkasa menggigil, orang Kanaan berkecil hati.
15 Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
16 Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.
Mereka sangat ketakutan menyaksikan kekuatan TUHAN. Waktu umat-Mu lewat, musuh tak kuasa menahan; loloslah bangsa yang telah Kaubebaskan.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared.
Lalu Israel Kauhantarkan ke tempat yang Kaupilih untuk kediaman-Mu. Mereka menetap di bukit-Mu yang suci, di Rumah yang Kaubangun sendiri.
18 Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever!
Engkaulah TUHAN, Raja, yang memerintah selama-lamanya."
19 For the horse of Pharaoh, with his chariots and with his horsemen, came into the sea, and Jehovah brought again the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel went on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
Pada waktu orang Israel menyeberangi laut, mereka berjalan di dasarnya yang kering. Tetapi ketika kereta-kereta Mesir dengan kuda dan penunggangnya masuk ke dalam laut, TUHAN membuat airnya mengalir kembali sehingga mereka tenggelam.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the tambour in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambours and with dances.
Lalu Miryam, seorang nabiah, kakak Harun, mengambil rebananya, dan semua wanita ikut memukul rebana sambil menari.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing to Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Miryam bernyanyi untuk mereka, "Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN, sebab Ia telah menang dengan gemilang. Semua kuda dan pengendaranya dilemparkan-Nya ke dalam laut."
22 And 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.
Kemudian Musa membawa bangsa Israel dari Laut Gelagah menuju ke padang gurun Syur. Selama tiga hari mereka berjalan melalui padang gurun tanpa menemukan air.
23 And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.
Lalu sampailah mereka di tempat yang bernama Mara, tetapi air di situ pahit sekali, sehingga tak bisa diminum. Sebab itu tempat itu disebut Mara, artinya pahit.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Maka orang-orang itu mengomel kepada Musa dan bertanya, "Apa yang akan kita minum?"
25 And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them.
Musa berdoa dengan sungguh-sungguh kepada TUHAN, lalu TUHAN menunjukkan kepadanya sepotong kayu. Kayu itu dilemparkan Musa ke dalam air, lalu air itu menjadi tawar, sehingga dapat diminum. Di tempat itu TUHAN memberi peraturan-peraturan kepada mereka, dan di situ juga Ia mencobai mereka.
26 And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do what is right in his eyes, and incline thine ears to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the complaints upon thee that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who healeth thee.
Kata TUHAN, "Taatilah Aku dengan sungguh-sungguh, dan lakukanlah apa yang Kupandang baik; ikutilah semua perintah-Ku. Kalau kamu berbuat begitu, kamu tidak akan Kuhukum dengan penyakit-penyakit yang Kutimpakan kepada orang Mesir. Akulah TUHAN yang menyembuhkan kamu."
27 And they came to Elim; and twelve springs of water were there, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
Sesudah itu mereka tiba di tempat yang bernama Elim. Di situ ada dua belas sumber air dan tujuh puluh pohon kurma. Mereka berkemah di dekat air itu.
