Exodus 15

1Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto Jehovah, and spake, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: "I will sing to the LORD, for he has won a glorious victory; he has thrown both the horse and its rider into the sea.

2Jehovah is my strength and song, And he is become my salvation: This is my God, and I will praise him; My father’s God, and I will exalt him.

2The LORD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him; he is my father’s God, and I will honor him.

3Jehovah is a man of war: Jehovah is his name.

3The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name.

4Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea; And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

4He threw Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea; his best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

5The deeps cover them: They went down into the depths like a stone.

5The deep waters covered them; they sank to the bottom like a stone.

6Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power, Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dasheth in pieces the enemy.

6Your right hand, LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, LORD, smashes the enemy.

7And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrowest them that rise up against thee: Thou sendest forth thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.

7In your great majesty, you overthrew those who rose against you; you sent out your burning anger, and it burned them up like straw.

8And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up, The floods stood upright as a heap; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

8With a blast from your nostrils, the waters piled up; the surging water stood up like a wall, and the deep sea became solid in the middle of the ocean.

9The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

9The enemy bragged, 'I will chase them, I will catch them, and I will take everything they have. I will satisfy my hunger for revenge; I will draw my sword and destroy them with my own hand.'

10Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

10But you blew with your wind, and the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

11Who is like you among the gods, LORD? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, and performing miracles?

12Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, The earth swallowed them.

12You raised your right hand, and the earth swallowed the enemy.

13Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.

13In your faithful love, you led the people you rescued; by your power, you guided them to your holy home.

14The peoples have heard, they tremble: Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

14The nations have heard and they tremble; anguish has gripped the people of Philistia.

15Then were the chiefs of Edom dismayed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them: All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

15The leaders of Edom are terrified; the powerful men of Moab are shaking with fear; the people of Canaan have lost all their courage.

16Terror and dread falleth upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, O Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.

16Terror and dread fall on them; because of your great power, they are as silent as a stone until your people pass by, LORD—until the people you bought have passed by.

17Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, The sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

17You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain—the place you made for your home, LORD, the sanctuary that your hands established, Lord.

18Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever.

18The LORD will rule as king forever and ever!"

19For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

19When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and chariot drivers went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground.

20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

20Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, playing tambourines and dancing.

21And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously; The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

21Miriam sang this refrain to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he has won a glorious victory; he has thrown both the horse and its rider into the sea."

22And 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.

22Then Moses led Israel away from the Red Sea into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert and found no water.

23And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

23When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink the water because it was bitter. That is why the place was named Marah.

24And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

24The people complained to Moses, asking, "What are we supposed to drink?"

25And he cried unto Jehovah; and Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them;

25Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. When Moses threw it into the water, the water became sweet. There the LORD set down a rule and a law for them, and there he tested them.

26and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee.

26He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his rules, I will not put on you any of the diseases I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD who heals you."

27And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

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