¹ 那时，摩西和以色列人向耶和华唱歌说：我要向耶和华歌唱，因他大大战胜，将马和骑马的投在海中。

² 耶和华是我的力量，我的诗歌，也成了我的拯救。这是我的神，我要赞美他，是我父亲的神，我要尊崇他。

³ 耶和华是战士；他的名是耶和华。

⁴ 法老的车辆、军兵，耶和华已抛在海中；他特选的军长都沉於红海。

⁵ 深水淹没他们；他们如同石头坠到深处。

⁶ 耶和华阿，你的右手施展能力，显出荣耀；耶和华阿，你的右手摔碎仇敌。

⁷ 你大发威严，推翻那些起来攻击你的；你发出烈怒如火，烧灭他们像烧碎一样。

⁸ 你发鼻中的气，水便聚起成堆，大水直立如垒，海中的深水凝结。

⁹ 仇敌说：我要追赶，我要追上；我要分掳物，我要在他们身上称我的心愿。我要拔出刀来，亲手杀灭他们。

¹⁰ 你叫风一吹，海就把他们淹没；他们如铅沉在大水之中。

¹¹ 耶和华阿，众神之中，谁能像你？谁能像你─至圣至荣，可颂可畏，施行奇事？

¹² 你伸出右手，地便吞灭他们。

¹³ 你凭慈爱领了你所赎的百姓；你凭能力引他们到了你的圣所。

¹⁴ 外邦人听见就发颤；疼痛抓住非利士的居民。

¹⁵ 那时，以东的族长惊惶，摩押的英雄被战兢抓住，迦南的居民心都消化了。

¹⁶ 惊骇恐惧临到他们。耶和华阿，因你膀臂的大能，他们如石头寂然不动，等候你的百姓过去，等候你所赎的百姓过去。

¹⁷ 你要将他们领进去，栽於你产业的山上─耶和华阿，就是你为自己所造的住处；主阿，就是你手所建立的圣所。

¹⁸ 耶和华必作王，直到永永远远！

¹⁹ 法老的马匹、车辆，和马兵下到海中，耶和华使海水回流，淹没他们；惟有以色列人在海中走乾地。

²⁰ 亚伦的姊姊，女先知米利暗，手里拿着鼓；众妇女也跟他出去拿鼓跳舞。

²¹ 米利暗应声说：你们要歌颂耶和华，因他大大战胜，将马和骑马的投在海中。

²² 摩西领以色列人从红海往前行，到了书珥的旷野，在旷野走了三天，找不着水。

²³ 到了玛拉，不能喝那里的水；因为水苦，所以那地名叫玛拉。

²⁴ 百姓就向摩西发怨言，说：我们喝甚麽呢？

²⁵ 摩西呼求耶和华，耶和华指示他一棵树。他把树丢在水里，水就变甜了。耶和华在那里为他们定了律例、典章，在那里试验他们；

²⁶ 又说：你若留意听耶和华─你神的话，又行我眼中看为正的事，留心听我的诫命，守我一切的律例，我就不将所加与埃及人的疾病加在你身上，因为我─耶和华是医治你的。

²⁷ 他们到了以琳，在那里有十二股水泉，七十棵棕树；他们就在那里的水边安营。

¹ Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

² He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a winepress therein. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.

³ "Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.

⁴ What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?

⁵ Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.

⁶ I will lay it a wasteland. It won't be pruned nor hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it."

⁷ For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.

⁸ Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

⁹ In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: "Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

¹⁰ For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah."

¹¹ Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!

¹² The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don't respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

¹³ Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.

¹⁴ Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.

¹⁵ So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;

¹⁶ but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁷ Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

¹⁸ Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;

¹⁹ Who say, "Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!"

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

²² Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;

²³ who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!

²⁴ Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁵ Therefore Yahweh's anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.

²⁶ He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.

²⁷ None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

²⁸ whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.

²⁹ Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.

³⁰ They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
