¹ Τοτε εψαλεν ο Μωυσης και οι υιοι Ισραηλ την ωδην ταυτην προς τον Κυριον, και ειπον λεγοντες, Ας ψαλλω προς τον Κυριον· διοτι εδοξασθη ενδοξως· τον ιππον και τον αναβατην αυτου ερριψεν εις την θαλασσαν.

² Ο Κυριος ειναι η δυναμις μου και το ασμα μου, και εσταθη η σωτηρια μου· αυτος ειναι Θεος μου και θελω δοξασει αυτον· Θεος του πατρος μου, και θελω υψωσει αυτον.

³ Ο Κυριος ειναι δυνατος πολεμιστης· Κυριος το ονομα αυτου.

⁴ Του Φαραω τας αμαξας και το στρατευμα αυτου ερριψεν εις την θαλασσαν· και εκλεκτοι πολεμαρχοι αυτου κατεποντισθησαν εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση.

⁵ Αι αβυσσοι εσκεπασαν αυτους· ως πετρα κατεβυθισθησαν εις τα βαθη.

⁶ Η δεξια σου, Κυριε, εδοξασθη εις δυναμιν· η δεξια σου, Κυριε, συνετριψε τον εχθρον.

⁷ Και με το μεγεθος της υπεροχης σου εξωλοθρευσας τους υπεναντιους σου· εξαπεστειλας την οργην σου και κατεφαγεν αυτους ως καλαμην.

⁸ Και με την πνοην του θυμου σου τα υδατα επεσωρευθησαν ομου· τα κυματα εσταθησαν ως σωρος, αι αβυσσοι επηξαν εν τω μεσω της θαλασσης.

⁹ Ο εχθρος ειπε, Θελω καταδιωξει, θελω καταφθασει, θελω διαμοιρασθη τα λαφυρα· η ψυχη μου θελει χορτασθη επ' αυτους· θελω συρει την μαχαιραν μου, η χειρ μου θελει αφανισει αυτους.

¹⁰ Εφυσησας με τον ανεμον σου και η θαλασσα εσκεπασεν αυτους· κατεβυθισθησαν ως μολυβδος εις τα φοβερα υδατα.

¹¹ Τις ομοιος σου Κυριε, μεταξυ των θεων; Τις ομοιος σου, ενδοξος εις αγιοτητα, θαυμαστος εις υμνους, ενεργων τεραστια;

¹² Εξετεινας την δεξιαν σου, και η γη κατεπιεν αυτους.

¹³ Με το ελεος σου ωδηγησας τον λαον τουτον, τον οποιον ελυτρωσας· ωδηγησας αυτον με την δυναμιν σου προς την κατοικιαν της αγιοτητος σου.

¹⁴ Οι λαοι θελουσιν ακουσει και φριξει· πονοι θελουσι κατακυριευσει τους κατοικους της Παλαιστινης.

¹⁵ Τοτε θελουσιν εκπλαγη οι ηγεμονες Εδωμ· τρομος θελει καταλαβει τους αρχοντας του Μωαβ· παντες οι κατοικοι της Χανααν θελουσιν αναλυθη.

¹⁶ Φοβος και τρομος θελει επιπεσει επ' αυτους· απο του μεγεθους του βραχιονος σου θελουσιν απολιθωθη, εωσου περαση ο λαος σου, Κυριε, εωσου περαση ο λαος ουτος, τον οποιον απεκτησας.

¹⁷ Θελεις εισαγαγει αυτους και φυτευσει αυτους εις το ορος της κληρονομιας σου, τον τοπον, Κυριε, τον οποιον ητοιμασας δια κατοικιαν σου, το αγιαστηριον, Κυριε, το οποιον αι χειρες σου εστησαν.

¹⁸ Ο Κυριος θελει βασιλευει εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων.

¹⁹ Διοτι εισηλθον οι ιπποι του Φαραω εις την θαλασσαν μετα των αμαξων αυτου και μετα των ιππεων αυτου, και ο Κυριος εστρεψεν επ' αυτους τα υδατα της θαλασσης· οι δε υιοι Ισραηλ επερασαν δια ξηρας εν τω μεσω της θαλασσης.

²⁰ Μαριαμ δε η προφητις, η αδελφη του Ααρων ελαβε το τυμπανον εν τη χειρι αυτης και πασαι αι γυναικες εξηλθον κατοπιν αυτης μετα τυμπανων και χορων.

²¹ Και η Μαριαμ ανταπεκρινετο προς αυτους, λεγουσα, Ψαλλετε εις τον Κυριον· διοτι εδοξασθη ενδοξως· τον ιππον και τον αναβατην αυτου ερριψεν εις θαλασσαν.

²² Τοτε εσηκωσεν ο Μωυσης τους Ισραηλιτας απο της Ερυθρας θαλασσης, και εξηλθον εις την ερημον Σουρ· και περιεπατουν τρεις ημερας εν τη ερημω και δεν ευρισκον υδωρ.

²³ Και εκειθεν ηλθον εις Μερραν· δεν ηδυναντο ομως να πιωσιν εκ των υδατων της Μερρας, διοτι ησαν πικρα· δια τουτο και επωνομασθη Μερρα.

²⁴ Και εγογγυζεν ο λαος κατα του Μωυσεως, λεγων, Τι θελομεν πιει;

²⁵ Ο δε Μωυσης εβοησε προς τον Κυριον· και εδειξεν εις αυτον ο Κυριος ξυλον, το οποιον οτε ερριψεν εις τα υδατα, τα υδατα εγλυκανθησαν. Εκει εδωκεν εις αυτους παραγγελιαν και διαταγμα, και εκει εδοκιμασεν αυτους·

²⁶ και ειπεν, Εαν ακουσης επιμελως την φωνην Κυριου του Θεου σου και πραττης το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου και δωσης ακροασιν εις τας εντολας αυτου και φυλαξης παντα τα προσταγματα αυτου, δεν θελω φερει επι σε ουδεμιαν εκ των νοσων, τας οποιας εφερα κατα των Αιγυπτιων· διοτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος ο θεραπευων σε.

²⁷ Επειτα ηλθον εις Αιλειμ, οπου ησαν δωδεκα πηγαι υδατων και εβδομηκοντα δενδρα φοινικων· και εκει εστρατοπεδευσαν πλησιον των υδατων.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.

³ Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.'

⁴ I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh." They did so.

⁵ It was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"

⁶ He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;

⁷ and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

⁸ Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.

⁹ The Egyptians pursued after them: all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army; and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

¹⁰ When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.

¹¹ They said to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

¹² Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."

¹³ Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.

¹⁴ Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still."

¹⁵ Yahweh said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.

¹⁶ Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.

¹⁷ I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.

¹⁸ The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen."

¹⁹ The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.

²⁰ It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one didn't come near the other all the night.

²¹ Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

²² The children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

²³ The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea: all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

²⁴ It happened in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.

²⁵ He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!"

²⁶ Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."

²⁷ Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

²⁸ The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh's army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.

²⁹ But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

³⁰ Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

³¹ Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh, and in his servant Moses.
