Êxodo 15

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.

He has thrown the horse and his rider 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 out 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 plunder.

My desire will be satisfied on them.

I will draw my sword. My hand will 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 of 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 have 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 you have purchased pass over.

17 You will 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 will 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 middle 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.

He has thrown the horse and his rider 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.*15:23 Marah means bitter. 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 He said, "If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, 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. They encamped there by the waters.

Te Waiata a Mohi

1 Kātahi ka waiata a Mohi rātou ko ngā tama a Īharaira i tēnei waiata ki a Ihowā, ā, ka whakahua, ka mea:

"Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowā,

he hira noa atu hoki tōna korōria;

ko te hōiho rāua ko tōna kaieke,

kua pangā e ia ki te moana.

2 Ko Ihowā tōku kaha, tāku waiata,

ko ia anō hoki hei whakaora mōku;

ko tōku Atua tēnei, ā, māku ia e whakakorōria;

ko te Atua o tōku pāpā, ā, māku ia e whakanui.

3 He tangata whawhai a Ihowā;

ko Ihowā tōna ingoa.

4 Ko ngā hāriata a Parao, me tāna ope,

kua makā e ia ki te moana;

ko āna rangatira whiriwhiri

toremi iho ki te Moana Whero.

5 Taupokina iho rātou e ngā wai hōhonu;

totohu ana rātou ki te rire, ānō he kāmaka.

6 "Ka whai korōria tōu ringa matau, e Ihowā,

mō te kaha;

nā tōu ringa, e Ihowā

i mongamonga ai te hoa whawhai.

7 Nā te nui o tōu kaha ka turakina e koe

te hunga i whakatika mai rā ki a koe.

Te whakaputanga o tōu riri, pau katoa rātou,

me he tumutumu otaota.

8 Nā te hau hoki o tōu ihu i haupū ai ngā wai;

i tū ake ngā roma, ānō he pūranga,

ā, whakatotoka ana te rire i te takere o te moana.

9 "I mea te hoariri, ‘Ka whai atu ahau, ka hopu,

ka tuwha i ngā taonga, ka nā tōku ngākau i a rātou;

ka unuhia tāku hoari, mā tōku ringa rātou e huna.’

10 I pupuhi atu koe ki tāu hau,

taupokina iho rātou e te moana;

totohu iho rātou, ānō he matā,

i ngā wai nui.

11 "Ko wai o ngā atua hei rite mōu, e Ihowā?

Ko wai hei rite mōu, e whakamoemititia nei mō te tapu,

e wehingia nei, e whakapaingia nei,

e mahi nei i ngā mea whakamīharo?

12 I totoro atu tōu ringa matau,

horomia ana rātou e te whenua.

13 "Nā tōu atawhai i ārahina mai ai e koe

te iwi kua hokona nei e koe;

nā tōu kaha i aratakina ai rātou e koe

ki tōu nohoanga tapu.

14 Ka rongo ngā iwi, ka tūiri;

mau tonu te matapōuri ki ngā tāngata o Pirihitia.

15 Nō reira i ohorere ai ngā rangatira o Ēroma;

ko ngā tāngata nunui o Moapa,

mau tonu te wiri ki a rātou;

memeha noa ngā tāngata katoa o Kanaana.

16 Tau ana ki a rātou te tūiri me te wehi;

mā te nui o tōu ringa

e tū tonu ai rātou, ānō he kōhatu,

kia pahemo rā anō tāu iwi, e Ihowā,

kia pahemo rā anō tēnei iwi kua hokona nei e koe.

17 Māu rātou e kawe atu, e whakatupu ki te maunga,

ki tōu kāinga ō mua iho, ki te wāhi, e Ihowā,

i hangā e koe hei nohoanga mōu,

ki te wāhi tapu, e te Ariki, i whakapūmautia e ōu ringa.

18 Hei kīngi a Ihowā ake ake."

19 I haere hoki ngā hōiho a Parao, me ana hāriata, me āna hōia eke hōiho ki te moana, ā, nā Ihowā i whakahoki ngā wai o te moana ki runga ki a rātou; tēnā ko ngā tama a Īharaira, i haere rā te wāhi maroke, i waenga moana.

Te Waiata a Miriama

20 Ā, ka tango a Miriama poropiti, tuahine o Ārona, i te timipera ki tōna ringa; ā, haere atu ana ngā wāhine katoa i muri i a ia me ngā timipera, me te kanikani anō rātou. 21 Ā, i whakahokia e Miriama tā rātou:

"Waiata ki a Ihowā,

he hira noa atu hoki tōna korōria;

nāna hoki te hōiho rāua ko tōna kaieke

i whiu ki te moana."

Ngā Wai Kawa

22 Ā, ārahina atu ana e Mohi a Īharaira i te Moana Whero, ā, ka haere rātou ki te koraha o Huri, ā, e toru ngā rā i haere ai rātou i te koraha, ā, kīhai i kitea he wai. 23 Nā, ka tae rātou ki Mara, kīhai hoki i āhei te inu i ngā wai o Mara; he kawa hoki. Nā reira i huaina ai tōna ingoa ko Mara. 24 Nā, ka amuamu te iwi ki a Mohi, ka mea, "Ko te aha hei inu mā mātou?"

25 Nā, ka karanga ia ki a Ihowā; ā, ka whakakitea mai he rākau e Ihowā ki a ia, ā, pangā ana e ia ki ngā wai, nā, ka reka ngā wai.

I hōmai e ia he ture ki a rātou i reira, me tētahi ritenga; i whakamātauria rātou e ia ki reira. 26 I mea hoki ia, "Ki te rongo mārie koe ki te reo o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, ā, ka mahi i te mea tika ki tāna titiro, ā, ka whai taringa ki āna whakahau, ka pupuri hoki i āna tikanga katoa, e kore rawa tētahi o aua mate i whakapāngia ki ngā Īhipiana e ahau, e whakapāngia atu e ahau ki a koe. Ko Ihowā hoki ahau e whakaora nei i a koe."

27 Nā, ka tae rātou ki Erimi, kotahi tekau mā rua nei ngā puna wai i reira, me ngā nīkau e whitu tekau; ā, ka noho rātou ki reira, ki te taha o ngā wai.
