¹ Tada Mojsije s Izraelcima zapjeva ovu pjesmu Jahvi u slavu: "U čast Jahvi zapjevat ću, jer se slavom proslavio! Konja s konjanikom u more je survao.

² Moja je snaga, moja pjesma - Jahve jer je mojim postao izbaviteljem. On je Bog moj, njega ja ću slaviti, on je Bog oca moga, njega ću veličati.

³ Jahve je ratnik hrabar, Jahve je ime njegovo.

⁴ Kola faraonova i vojsku mu u more baci; cvijet njegovih štitonoša more crveno proguta.

⁵ Valovi ih prekriše; poput kamena u morske potonuše dubine.

⁶ Desnica tvoja, Jahve, snagom se prodiči; desnica tvoja, Jahve, raskomada dušmana.

⁷ Veličanstvom svojim obaraš ti protivnike; puštaš svoj gnjev i on ih k'o slamu proždire.

⁸ Od daha iz tvojih nosnica vode narastoše, valovi se u bedem uzdigoše, u srcu mora dubine se stvrdnuše.

⁹ Mislio je neprijatelj: 'Gonit ću ih, stići, plijen ću podijelit', duša će moja sita ga biti; trgnut ću mač, uništit' ih rukom svojom.'

¹⁰ A ti dahom svojim dahnu, more se nad njima sklopi; k'o olovo potonuše silnoj vodi u bezdane.

¹¹ Tko je kao ti, Jahve među bogovima, tko kao ti sija u svetosti, u djelima strašan, divan u čudima?

¹² Desnicu si pružio i zemlja ih proguta!

¹³ Milošću svojom vodio si ovaj narod, tobom otkupljen, k svetom tvom Stanu snagom si ga svojom upravio.

¹⁴ Kada to čuše, prodrhtaše narodi; Filistejce muke spopadoše.

¹⁵ Užas je srvao edomske glavare, trepet je obuzeo moapske knezove i tresu se svi koji žive u Kanaanu.

¹⁶ Strah i prepast na njih se obaraju; snaga tvoje ruke skamenila ih je dok narod tvoj, Jahve, ne prođe, dok ne prođe narod tvoj koji si otkupio.

¹⁷ Dovest ćeš ih i posaditi na gori svoje baštine, na mjestu koje ti, Jahve, svojim učini Boravištem, Svetištem, o Jahve, tvojom rukom sazidanim.

¹⁸ Vazda i dovijeka Jahve će kraljevati."

¹⁹ Kad su faraonovi konji, njegova kola i konjanici sašli u more, Jahve je na njih povratio morske vode pošto su Izraelci prošli posred mora po suhu.

²⁰ Tada Aronova sestra, proročica Mirjam, uze bubanj u ruku, a sve žene pridruže joj se s bubnjem u ruci i plešući.

²¹ Mirjam je začinjala pjesmu: "Zapjevajte Jahvi jer se slavom proslavio! Konja s konjanikom u more je survao."

²² Pokrene Mojsije Izraelce od Crvenog mora i pođu na put kroz pustinju Šur. Tri su dana putovali pustinjom, a vode nisu našli.

²³ Dođu k Mari, ali nisu mogli piti vode kod Mare jer je bila gorka. Stoga se i zove Mara.

²⁴ Narod je mrmljao na Mojsija i govorio: "Što ćemo piti?"

²⁵ A on zazva Jahvu. Jahve mu pokaže neko drvo. Baci on to drvo u vodu i voda postane slatka. Tu im Jahve postavi zakon i pravo i tu ih stavi u kušnju.

²⁶ Zatim reče: "Budeš li zdušno slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga, vršeći što je pravo u njegovim očima; budeš li pružao svoje uho njegovim zapovijedima i držao njegove zakone, nikakvih bolesti koje sam pustio na Egipćane na vas neću puštati. Jer ja sam Jahve koji dajem zdravlje."

²⁷ Zatim stignu u Elim, gdje je bilo dvanaest izvora i sedamdeset palma. Tu se, uz vodu, utabore.

⁶ Zbog toga se radujte, makar se sada možda trebalo malo i žalostiti zbog različitih kušnja:

¹ Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

² 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 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.

⁴ He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

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

⁶ Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.

⁷ In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.

⁸ 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 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'

¹⁰ You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹ Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

¹² You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

¹³ "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 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

¹⁵ Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

¹⁶ 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 pass over who you have purchased.

¹⁷ You shall 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 Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."

¹⁹ 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 midst of the sea.

²⁰ 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 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

²² 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 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 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"

²⁵ 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 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, 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 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
