15:1

Moses and the Israelites then sang this song to God. It went:

I will sing to God for His great victory,

Horse and rider He threw in the sea.

Az yashir-Moshe uveney Yisra'el et-hashirah hazot l'Adonay vayomeru lemor ashirah l'Adonay ki-ga'oh ga'ah sus verochevo ramah vayam.

15:2

My strength and song is God

And this is my deliverance;

This is my God, I will enshrine Him

My father's God, I will exalt Him.

Ozi vezimrat yah vayehi-li lishu'ah zeh Eli ve'anvehu Elohey avi va'aromemenhu.

15:3

God is the Master of war,

God is His name.

Adonay ish milchamah Adonay shemo.

15:4

Pharaoh's chariots and army

He cast in the sea;

His very best officers

Were drowned in the Red Sea.

Markevot Par'oh vecheylo yarah vayam umivchar shalishav tube'u veYam-Suf.

15:5

The depths covered them;

They sank to the bottom

Like a stone.

Tehomot yechasi'umu yardu bimetsolot kemo-aven.

15:6

Your right Hand, O God

Is awesome in power;

Your right Hand, O God

crushes the foe.

Yeminecha Adonay nedari bakoach yeminecha Adonay tir'ats oyev.

15:7

In Your great Majesty

You broke Your opponents;

You sent forth Your wrath

It devoured them like straw.

Uverov ge'oncha taharos kameycha teshalach charonecha yochelemo kakash.

15:8

At the blast of Your Nostrils

the waters towered.

Flowing water stood like a wall.

The depths congealed

In the heart of the sea.

Uveruach apeycha ne'ermu mayim nitsvu chmo-ned nozlim kaf'u tehomot belev-yam.

15:9

The enemy said, 'I will give chase;

I will overtake, divide the spoils

I will satisfy myself.

I will draw my sword;

My hand will demolish them.'

Amar oyev erdof asig achalek shalal timla'emo nafshi arik charebi torishemo yadi.

15:10

You made Your wind blow; The sea covered them. They sank like lead In the mighty waters.

Nashafta veruchacha kisamo yam tsalelu ka'oferet bemayim adirim.

15:11

Who is like You among powers, God? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praise, doing wonders?

Mi-chamocha ba'elim Adonay mi kamocha ne'edar bakodesh nora tehilot oseh-fele.

15:12

You put forth Your right Hand; The earth swallowed them.

Natita yeminecha tivla'emo arets.

15:13

With love, You led the people You redeemed; With might, You led [them] to Your holy shrine.

Nachita vechasdecha am-zu ga'alta nehalta ve'ozcha el-neveh kodshecha

15:14

Nations heard and shuddered; Terror gripped those who dwell in Philistia.

Sham'u amim yirgazun chil achaz yoshvey Plashet.

15:16

Fear and dread fell upon them. At the greatness of Your Arm They are still as stone. Until Your people crossed, O God, Until the people You gained crossed over.

Tipol aleyhem eymatah vafachad bigdol zro'acha yidmu ka'aven ad-ya'avor amcha Adonay ad-ya'avor am-zu kanita.

15:17

O bring them and plant them On the mount You possess. The place You dwell in

Is Your accomplishment, God.

The shrine of God

Your Hands have founded.

Tevi'emo vetita'emo behar nachalatcha machon leshivtecha pa'alta Adonay mikdash Adonay konenu yadecha.

15:18

God will reign forever and ever.

Adonay yimloch le'olam va'ed.

15:19

[This song was sung] when Pharaoh's horse came into the sea, along with his chariot corps and cavalry, and God made the sea come back on them. The Israelites had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

Ki va sus Par'oh berichbo uvefarashav bayam vayashev Adonay alehem et-mey hayam uveney Yisra'el halchu vayabashah betoch hayam.

15:20

Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the drum in her hand, and all the women followed her with drums and dancing.

Vatikach Miryam hanevi'ah achot Aharon et-hatof beyadah vatetsena chol-hanashim achareyha betupim uvimcholot.

15:21

Miriam led them in the response, 'Sing to God for His great victory, horse and rider He cast in the sea.'

Vata'an lahem Miryam shiru l'Adonay ki-ga'oh ga'ah sus verochevo ramah vayam.

15:22

Moses led the Israelites away from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Shur Desert. They traveled for three days in the desert without finding any water.

Vayasa Moshe et-Yisra'el miyam-Suf vayets'u el-midbar-Shur vayelchu shloshet yamim bamidbar velo-mats'u mayim.

15:23

Finally, they came to Marah, but they could not drink any water there. The water was bitter (marah), and that was why the place was called Marah.

Vayavo'u Maratah velo yachlu lishtot mayim miMarah ki marim hem al-ken kara-shmah Marah.

15:24

The people complained to Moses. 'What shall we drink?' they demanded.

Vayilonu ha'am al-Moshe lemor mah-nishteh.

15:25

When [Moses] cried out to God, He showed him a certain tree. [Moses] threw it into the water, and the water became drinkable.

It was there that [God] taught them survival techniques and methods, and there He tested them.

Vayits'ak el-Adonay vayorehu Adonay ets vayashlech el-hamayim vayimteku hamayim sham sam lo chok umishpat vesham nisahu.

15:26

He said, 'If you obey God your Lord and do what is upright in His eyes, carefully heeding all His commandments and keeping all His decrees, then I will not strike you with any of the sicknesses that I brought on Egypt. I am God who heals you.'

Vayomer im-shamoa tishma lekol Adonay Eloheycha vehayashar be'eynav ta'aseh veha'azanta lemitsvotav veshamarta kol- chukav kol-hamachalah asher-samti beMitsrayim lo-asim aleycha ki ani Adonay rof'echa.

15:27

Then they came to Elim. Here there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms. They [then] camped by the water.

Vayavo'u Eylimah vesham shteym-esreh eynot mayim veshiv'im tmarim vayachanu-sham al-hamayim.
