¹In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²Govóri sinovom Izraelovim, naj se vrnejo in tabore pred Pihahirotom, med Migdolom in morjem, pred Baalzefonom; njemu nasproti razpnite šatore pri morju.

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,

³Kajti Faraon poreče o Izraelovih sinovih: Zašli so v deželi, puščava jih je obdala.

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

⁴Jaz pa hočem otrditi srce Faraonovo, da bo hitel za njimi, in hočem se oslaviti na Faraonu in na vsej vojski njegovi; in Egipčani spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD. In storili so tako.

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.

⁵In ko so kralju egiptovskemu sporočili, da je ljudstvo zbežalo, se izpremeni srce Faraonovo in služabnikov njegovih proti ljudstvu, in reko: Kaj smo to storili, da smo odpustili Izraelce iz službe svoje!

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.`

⁶Zapreže torej svoj voz ter vzame ljudstvo svoje s seboj;

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

⁷vzame namreč šeststo izbranih voz in vse vozove egiptovske in bojevnike na vsakem iz njih.

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

⁸In GOSPOD je otrdil srce Faraona, kralja egiptovskega, da je dirjal za sinovi Izraelovimi. A sinovi Izraelovi so odhajali po visoki roki.

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,

⁹Egipčani pa so hiteli za njimi, in vsi konji in vozovi Faraonovi, konjiki njegovi in vojska njegova so jih došli, ko so taborili pri morju ob Pihahirotu, nasproti Baalzefonu.

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.

¹⁰Ko se je pa bližal Faraon, povzdignejo sinovi Izrelovi oči, in glej, Egipčani gredo za njimi; in ustrašijo se sinovi Izrelovi zelo in vpijejo h GOSPODU.

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.

¹¹In govore Mojzesu: Ni li morda bilo nobenih grobov v Egiptu, da si nas odpeljal, da umrjemo v puščavi? Zakaj si nam to storil, da si nas izvedel iz Egipta?

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?

¹²Ali to ni beseda, ki smo ti jo govorili v Egiptu, rekoč: Pusti nas, naj služimo Egipčanom, zakaj bolje nam je služiti Egipčanom nego umreti v puščavi.

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?`

¹³In Mojzes veli ljudstvu: Ne bojte se, stojte trdno in glejte rešitev GOSPODOVO, ki jo za vas izvrši danes; zakaj Egipčanov, ki jih danes vidite, ne boste nikdar več videli na veke.

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;

¹⁴GOSPOD se bo za vas bojeval, vi pa bodite mirni!

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

¹⁵In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Zakaj vpiješ k meni? Véli Izraelovim sinovom, naj gredo naprej!

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

¹⁶Ti pa povzdigni palico svojo in iztegni roko nad morje ter ga razdeli, in šli bodo sinovi Izraelovi sredi morja po suhem.

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.

¹⁷In glej, jaz otrdim srce Egipčanov, da pojdejo za vami; in hočem se oslaviti na Faraonu in na vsej vojski njegovi in na vseh vozovih in konjikih njegovih.

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;

¹⁸In Egipčani spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD, kadar se oslavim na Faraonu, na njegovih vozeh in konjikih njegovih.

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

¹⁹In vzdignil se je angel GOSPODOV, ki je šel pred vojsko Izraelcev, in gre zadaj za njimi, in oblakov steber izgine izpred njih in se postavi za njimi,

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,

²⁰in pride med vojsko Egipčanov in vojsko Izraelovo; in tam je oblak delal temo, tu pa je razsvetljeval noč. In eni se niso drugim približali celo noč.

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.

²¹Mojzes torej iztegne roko nad morje, in GOSPOD je odpravil morje s silnim vzhodnikom, ki je pihal celo noč, in je napravil v morju suha tla, in voda se je razdelila.

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,

²²In sinovi Izraelovi so šli sredi morja po suhem, in vode so jim bile kakor zidovje na desni in na levi.

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.

²³In Egipčani so gnali za njimi, in prišli so vsi konji Faraonovi, vozovi in konjiki njegovi v sredo morja.

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,

²⁴In zgodi se ob jutranji straži, da pogleda GOSPOD na vojsko Egipčanov iz ognjenega in oblakovega stebra in napravi zmešnjavo v vojski Egipčanov;

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,

²⁵in stori, da se kolesa vozom izmaknejo, tako da so s težavo vozili. In Egipčani reko: Bežímo pred Izraelom, kajti GOSPOD se bojuje zanje proti Egiptu.

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.`

²⁶In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Iztegni roko nad morje, da se vode povrnejo na Egipčane, na njih vozove in jezdece.

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.`

²⁷Tedaj iztegne Mojzes roko po morju, in povrnilo se je morje ob jutranjem svitu v navadno valovanje svoje; in Egipčani so bežali proti njemu, in GOSPOD jih je pognal v sredo vodovja.

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,

²⁸In povrnile so se vode in zagrnile vozove in konjištvo vse vojske Faraonove, ki je šla za Izraelci v morje; ni preostalo izmed njih še enega ne.

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.

²⁹Ali sinovi Izraelovi so šli sredi morja po suhem, in vode so jim bile v zidovje na desni in na levi.

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;

³⁰Tako je otel GOSPOD tisti dan Izraela iz roke Egipčanov. In videl je Izrael Egipčane mrtve ob bregu morja.In videl je Izrael preveliko moč, ki jo je bil GOSPOD pokazal nad Egipčani, in balo se je ljudstvo GOSPODA in verovalo je GOSPODU in Mojzesu, njegovemu služabniku.

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

³¹In videl je Izrael preveliko moč, ki jo je bil GOSPOD pokazal nad Egipčani, in balo se je ljudstvo GOSPODA in verovalo je GOSPODU in Mojzesu, njegovemu služabniku.

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.
