¹以色列人过红海

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²“你要吩咐以色列人转回过来，在比．哈希录前，密夺和海之间安营；你们要在巴力．洗分前，对着巴力．洗分，靠近海边的地方安营。

²`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-Zephon; over-against it ye do encamp by the sea,

³法老必论到以色列人的事，说：‘他们在这地走迷了路，旷野把他们困住了。’

³and Pharaoh hath said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut upon them;

⁴我要使法老的心刚硬，他就必追赶他们；这样，我就可以在法老身上和他的全军身上得到荣耀，埃及人就必知道我是耶和华。”于是以色列人就这样行了。

⁴and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath pursued after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah;` and they do so.

⁵有人告诉埃及王说：“以色列人逃走了。”法老和他的臣仆对以色列人的心就改变了，他们说：“我们让以色列人离开，不再服事我们，我们作了什么事呢？”

⁵And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people hath fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, `What [is] this we have done? that we have sent Israel away from our service.`

⁶法老就预备他的马车，带着他的人民一同去，

⁶And he harnesseth his chariot, and his people he hath taken with him,

⁷并且带着六百辆特选的马车和埃及所有的马车，每辆马车上都有马车长。

⁷and he taketh six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;

⁸耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬，法老就追赶以色列人；因为以色列是靠着耶和华高举的手出来的。

⁸and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursueth after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand,

⁹埃及人追赶他们，法老所有的马匹、战车和他的马兵与军队，就在海边，靠近比．哈希录，对着巴力．洗分他们安营的地方追上了他们。

⁹and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon.

¹⁰法老走近的时候，以色列人举目观看，看见埃及人正追赶过来，就非常惧怕，向耶和华呼求。

¹⁰And Pharaoh hath drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and lo, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah.

¹¹他们对摩西说：“难道埃及没有坟墓，你要把我们带来死在旷野吗？你为什么这样待我们，把我们从埃及领出来呢？

¹¹And they say unto Moses, `Because there are no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in a wilderness? what is this thou hast done to us — to bring us out from Egypt?

¹²我们在埃及的时候，不是对你说过：‘不要管我们，我们要服事埃及人’这话吗？因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。”

¹²Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?`

¹³摩西对人民说：“不要惧怕，要站着，观看耶和华今天为你们施行的拯救；因为你们今天看见的埃及人，必永远不再看见了。

¹³And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, station yourselves, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He doth for you to-day; for, as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye add no more to see them — to the age;

¹⁴耶和华必为你们争战，你们必须安静，不要作声。”

¹⁴Jehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.`

¹⁵耶和华对摩西说：“你为什么向我呼求呢？吩咐以色列人往前走。

¹⁵And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `What? thou criest unto Me — speak unto the sons of Israel, and they journey;

¹⁶你要把你的杖举起来，向海伸手，把海分开，叫以色列人下到海中走干地。

¹⁶and thou, lift up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand towards the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.

¹⁷看哪，我要使埃及人的心刚硬，他们就必跟着以色列人下去；这样，我必在法老和他的全军身上，以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀。

¹⁷`And I — lo, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, on his chariots, and on his horsemen;

¹⁸我在法老身上，以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀的时候，埃及人就知道我是耶和华。”

¹⁸and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My being honoured on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.`

¹⁹在以色列营前行走的　神的使者，转到他们后面去；云柱也从他们前面转过去，立在他们后面。

¹⁹And the messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeyeth and goeth at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeyeth from their front, and standeth at their rear,

²⁰云柱来到埃及营和以色列营中间；云柱一边是黑暗的，一边却光照着黑夜。这样整夜彼此都不能接近。

²⁰and cometh in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlighteneth the night, and the one hath not drawn near unto the other all the night.

²¹摩西向海伸手，耶和华就用极强的东风，一夜之间使海水退去；他使海变成干地，海水也分开了。

²¹And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,

²²以色列人下到海中走干地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。

²²and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea, on dry land, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their right and on their left.

²³埃及人追赶过来，法老所有的马匹、马车和马兵，都跟着以色列人下到海中去。

²³And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) unto the midst of the sea,

²⁴到了晨更的时候，耶和华透过云柱火柱向下观看埃及人的军兵，并且使埃及人的军兵大起混乱。

²⁴and it cometh to pass, in the morning watch, that Jehovah looketh unto the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubleth the camp of the Egyptians,

²⁵又使他们的车轮脱落，行驶困难，因此埃及人说：“我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧，因为耶和华为他们争战，攻击埃及人了。”

²⁵and turneth aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, `Let us flee from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians.`

²⁶埃及人葬身红海之中耶和华对摩西说：“你要向海伸手，使水回流到埃及人身上，流到他们的战车和马兵身上。”

²⁶And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.`

²⁷摩西就向海伸手，到了天亮的时候，海水流回原处；埃及人逆流逃跑的时候，耶和华就把他们投在海中。

²⁷And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and the sea turneth back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and Jehovah shaketh off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,

²⁸海水一回流，就淹没了马车、马兵和那些跟着以色列人下海去的法老的全军，连一个也没有余下。

²⁸and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea — there hath not been left of them even one.

²⁹以色列人却在海中走干地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。

²⁹And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their right and on their left;

³⁰这样，耶和华就在那一天把以色列人从埃及人的手里拯救了出来；以色列人看见埃及人都死在海边。

³⁰and Jehovah saveth Israel in that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel seeth the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore,

³¹以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所显大能的手，就敬畏耶和华，又信服耶和华和他的仆人摩西。

³¹and Israel seeth the great hand with which Jehovah hath wrought against the Egyptians, and the people fear Jehovah, and remain stedfast in Jehovah, and in Moses His servant.
