Êxodo 15— comparação

1Então Moisés e os filhos de Israel cantaram este cântico ao SENHOR, e disseram:

2O SENHOR é a minha força e o meu cântico.

3O SENHOR é homem de guerra.

4Ele lançou no mar os carros do Faraó e o seu exército.

5As profundezas os cobrem.

6A tua mão direita, SENHOR, é gloriosa em poder.

7Na grandeza da tua excelência, derrubas os que se levantam contra ti.

8Com o sopro das tuas narinas, as águas se amontoaram.

9O inimigo disse: 'Eu os perseguirei. Eu os alcançarei. Dividirei os despojos.

10Sopraste com o teu vento.

11Quem é como tu, SENHOR, entre os deuses?

12Estendeste a tua mão direita.

13“Tu, em teu amor leal, guiaste o povo que redimiste.

14Os povos ouviram.

15Então os chefes de Edom ficaram apavorados.

16Terror e pavor caem sobre eles.

17Tu os introduzirás e os plantarás no monte da tua herança,

18O SENHOR reinará para todo o sempre.”

19Porque os cavalos do Faraó entraram no mar com os seus carros e com os seus cavaleiros, e o SENHOR fez as águas do mar voltarem sobre eles; mas os filhos de Israel caminharam em terra seca no meio do mar.

20Miriã, a profetisa, irmã de Arão, pegou um tamborim na mão; e todas as mulheres saíram atrás dela com tamborins e com danças.

21Miriã lhes respondeu:

22Moisés conduziu Israel adiante, do Mar Vermelho, e eles saíram para o deserto de Sur; e caminharam três dias no deserto, e não encontraram água.

23Quando chegaram a Mara, não puderam beber das águas de Mara, porque eram amargas. Por isso o seu nome foi chamado Mara.

24O povo murmurou contra Moisés, dizendo: “O que beberemos?”

25Então ele clamou ao SENHOR. O SENHOR lhe mostrou uma árvore, e ele a lançou nas águas, e as águas se tornaram doces. Ali ele fez para eles um estatuto e uma ordenança, e ali ele os provou.

26Ele disse: “Se vocês ouvirem diligentemente a voz do SENHOR, o seu Deus, e fizerem o que é reto aos seus olhos, e prestarem atenção aos seus mandamentos, e guardarem todos os seus estatutos, não colocarei sobre vocês nenhuma das doenças que coloquei sobre os egípcios; pois eu sou o SENHOR que os cura.”

27Eles chegaram a Elim, onde havia doze fontes de água e setenta palmeiras. Eles acamparam ali junto às águas.

1Then 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.

2Yah 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.

3Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.

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

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

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

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

8With 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.

9The 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.’

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

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

12You 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.

14The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

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

16Terror 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.

17You 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.

18Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”

19For 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.

20Miriam 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.

21Miriam answered them, “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”

22Moses 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.

23When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.

24The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

25Then 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.

26He 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.”

27They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
