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.

⁸ I reče mi: "Ova voda teče u istočni kraj, spušta se u Arabu i teče u more; a kad se u more izlije, vode mu ozdrave.

¹ Yahweh said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land."

² God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Yahweh;

³ and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.

⁴ I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.

⁵ Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

⁶ Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

⁷ and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

⁸ I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.'"

⁹ Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn't listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

¹⁰ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹¹ "Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel Go out of his land."

¹² Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, "Behold, the children of Israel haven't listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"

¹³ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

²⁷ These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.

²⁸ It happened on the day when Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

²⁹ that Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, "I am Yahweh. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I Speak to you."

³⁰ Moses said before Yahweh, "Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?"
