Exodus 15
1 Tunc cecinit Moyses et filii Israel carmen hoc Domino, et dixerunt: Cantemus Domino: gloriose enim magnificatus est, equum et ascensorem deiecit in mare.
Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, “I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.
2 Fortitudo mea, et laus mea Dominus, et factus est mihi in salutem: iste Deus meus, et glorificabo eum: Deus patris mei, et exaltabo eum.
Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 Dominus quasi vir pugnator, omnipotens nomen eius.
Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
4 Currus Pharaonis et exercitum eius proiecit in mare: electi principes eius submersi sunt in Mari rubro.
He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
5 Abyssi operuerunt eos, descenderunt in profundum quasi lapis.
The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Dextera tua Domine magnificata est in fortitudine: dextera tua, Domine, percussit inimicum.
Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.
7 Et in multitudine gloriæ tuæ deposuisti adversarios tuos: misisti iram tuam, quæ devoravit eos sicut stipulam.
In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
8 Et in spiritu furoris tui congregatæ sunt aquæ: stetit unda fluens, congregata sunt abyssi in medio mari.
With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 Dixit inimicus: Persequar et comprehendam, dividam spolia, implebitur anima mea: evaginabo gladium meum, interficiet eos manus mea.
The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’
10 Flavit spiritus tuus, et operuit eos mare: submersi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis vehementibus.
You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 Quis similis tui in fortibus Domine? quis similis tui, magnificus in sanctitate, terribilis atque laudabilis, faciens mirabilia?
Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Extendisti manum tuam, et devoravit eos terra.
You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
13 Dux fuisti in misericordia tua populo quem redemisti: et portasti eum in fortitudine tua, ad habitaculum sanctum tuum.
“You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
14 Ascenderunt populi, et irati sunt: dolores obtinuerunt habitatores Philisthiim.
The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Tunc conturbati sunt principes Edom, robustos Moab obtinuit tremor: obriguerunt omnes habitatores Chanaan.
Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Irruat super eos formido et pavor, in magnitudine brachii tui: fiant immobiles quasi lapis, donec pertranseat populus tuus Domine, donec pertranseat populus tuus iste, quem possedisti.
Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone, until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people you have purchased pass over.
17 Introduces eos, et plantabis in monte hereditatis tuæ, firmissimo habitaculo tuo quod operatus es Domine: sanctuarium tuum Domine, quod firmaverunt manus tuæ.
You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in: the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
18 Dominus regnabit in æternum et ultra.
Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”
19 Ingressus est enim eques Pharao cum curribus et equitibus eius in mare: et reduxit super eos Dominus aquas maris: filii autem Israel ambulaverunt per siccum in medio eius.
For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
20 Sumpsit ergo Maria prophetissa, soror Aaron, tympanum in manu sua: egressæque sunt omnes mulieres post eam cum tympanis et choris,
Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
21 quibus præcinebat, dicens: Cantemus Domino, gloriose enim magnificatus est, equum et ascensorem eius deiecit in mare.
Miriam answered them, “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”
22 Tulit autem Moyses Israel de mari rubro, et egressi sunt in desertum Sur: ambulaveruntque tribus diebus per solitudinem, et non inveniebant aquam.
Moses led Israel onward 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.
23 Et venerunt in Mara, nec poterant bibere aquas de Mara, eo quod essent amaræ: unde et congruum loco nomen imposuit, vocans illum Mara, id est, amaritudinem.
When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
24 Et murmuravit populus contra Moysen, dicens: Quid bibemus?
The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 At ille clamavit ad Dominum. qui ostendit ei lignum: quod cum misisset in aquas, in dulcedinem versæ sunt. ibi constituit ei præcepta, atque iudicia, et ibi tentavit eum,
Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them.
26 dicens: Si audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et quod rectum est coram eo feceris, et obedieris mandatis eius, custodierisque omnia præcepta illius, cunctum languorem, quem posui in Ægypto, non inducam super te: ego enim Dominus sanator tuus.
He said, “If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you.”
27 Venerunt autem in Elim filii Israel, ubi erant duodecim fontes aquarum, et septuaginta palmæ: et castrametati sunt iuxta aquas.
They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
