Éxodo 15

1Entonces Moisés y los hijos de Israel cantaron este cántico a Yahvé. Dijeron así: “Cantaré a Yahvé por su altísima gloria; arrojó al mar al caballo y a su jinete.

2Yahvé es mi fortaleza y (el objeto) de mi canción. Él me ha salvado; Él es mi Dios, a quien celebraré, el Dios de mi padre, a quien he de ensalzar.

3El Señor es un guerrero poderoso; Yahvé es su nombre.

4Ha precipitado en el mar los carros del Faraón y su ejército; la flor de sus capitanes se hundió en el Mar Rojo.

5Los cubrió el abismo; como una piedra cayeron al fondo.

6Tu diestra, Yahvé, es admirable por su poder; tu diestra, Yahvé, aplasta al enemigo.

7En tu grandeza sin medida derribas a los que contra Ti se levantan, desencadenas tu ira que los consume como hojarasca.

8Soplaron tus narices y se apiñaron las aguas; se pararon las olas como un dique, los abismos se cuajaron en medio del mar.

9Perseguiré, alcanzaré, había dicho el enemigo; repartiré despojos, se saciará mi alma; desenvainaré mi espada, los destruirá mi mano.

10Pero con tu viento soplaste y los cubrió el mar; se hundieron como plomo en las temibles aguas.

11¿Quién como Tú, Yahvé, entre los dioses? ¿Quién, como Tú, glorioso en santidad, terrible en prodigios, hacedor de maravillas?

12Extendiste tu diestra, y los engulló la tierra.

13Guiaste en tu misericordia al pueblo por Ti redimido; con tu poder lo condujiste a la morada de tu santidad.

14Lo oyeron los pueblos temblando; se amedrentó la gente de Filistea;

15los príncipes de Edom se estremecieron; temblaron los valientes de Moab y trepidaron todos los moradores de Canaán.

16Cayó sobre ellos pavor y espanto; por la grandeza de tu brazo enmudecieron como una piedra, hasta que pasó tu pueblo, Yahvé, hasta que pasó el pueblo que Tú adquiriste.

17Tú los condujiste y los plantaste en el monte de tu herencia; en el lugar que Tú, oh Yahvé, preparaste para tu sede; en el Santuario, Señor, que fundaron tus manos.

18Yahvé reinará por siempre jamás.”

19Porque cuando los caballos del Faraón y sus carros y su caballería entraron en el mar, Yahvé hizo volver sobre ellos las aguas marinas, en tanto que los hijos de Israel pasaron a pie enjuto por medio del mar.

20También María, la profetisa, hermana de Aarón, tomó en su mano un tamboril, y todas las mujeres salieron en pos de ella, con tamboriles y danzando.

21Y María les repetía: “Cantad a Yahvé por su altísima gloria; arrojó al mar al caballo y a su jinete.”

22Moisés hizo partir a los hijos de Israel del Mar Rojo, y se dirigieron hacia el desierto de Sur, donde caminaron tres días en el desierto sin encontrar agua.

23Luego llegaron a Mará, mas no pudieron beber el agua, por ser amarga. Por eso llamaron (a ese lugar) Mará.

24Y murmuró el pueblo contra Moisés, diciendo: “¿Qué vamos a beber?”

25Entonces clamó Moisés a Yahvé, y Yahvé le mostró un madero que Moisés echó en el agua, y el agua se volvió dulce. Allí Yahvé le dio (a Israel) leyes y estatutos, y allí lo probó,

26y dijo: “Si de veras escuchas la voz de Yahvé, tu Dios, y haces lo que es recto a sus ojos, dando oídos a sus mandamientos y guardando todos sus preceptos, no traeré sobre ti ninguna de las plagas que envié sobre los egipcios; porque Yo soy Yahvé, el que te sana.

27Después llegaron a Elim, donde había doce fuentes de agua y setenta palmeras, y acamparon allí junto a las aguas.

1Tunc cecinit Moyses et filii Israël carmen hoc Domino, et dixerunt: [Cantemus Domino: gloriose enim magnificatus est, equum et ascensorem dejecit in mare.

2Fortitudo mea, et laus mea Dominus, et factus est mihi in salutem: iste Deus meus, et glorificabo eum: Deus patris mei, et exaltabo eum.

3Dominus quasi vir pugnator, Omnipotens nomen ejus,

4currus Pharaonis et exercitum ejus projecit in mare: electi principes ejus submersi sunt in mari Rubro.

5Abyssi operuerunt eos; descenderunt in profundum quasi lapis.

6Dextera tua, Domine, magnificata est in fortitudine: dextera tua, Domine, percussit inimicum.

7Et in multitudine gloriæ tuæ deposuisti adversarios tuos: misisti iram tuam, quæ devoravit eos sicut stipulam.

8Et in spiritu furoris tui congregatæ sunt aquæ: stetit unda fluens, congregata sunt abyssi in medio mari.

9Dixit inimicus: Persequar et comprehendam, dividam spolia, implebitur anima mea: evaginabo gladium meum, interficiet eos manus mea.

10Flavit spiritus tuus, et operuit eos mare: submersi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis vehementibus.

11Quis similis tui in fortibus, Domine? quis similis tui, magnificus in sanctitate, terribilis atque laudabilis, faciens mirabilia?

12Extendisti manum tuam, et devoravit eos terra.

13Dux fuisti in misericordia tua populo quem redemisti: et portasti eum in fortitudine tua, ad habitaculum sanctum tuum.

14Ascenderunt populi, et irati sunt: dolores obtinuerunt habitatores Philisthiim.

15Tunc conturbati sunt principes Edom, robustos Moab obtinuit tremor: obriguerunt omnes habitatores Chanaan.

16Irruat super eos formido et pavor, in magnitudine brachii tui: fiant immobiles quasi lapis, donec pertranseat populus tuus, Domine, donec pertranseat populus tuus iste, quem possedisti.

17Introduces eos, et plantabis in monte hæreditatis tuæ, firmissimo habitaculo tuo quod operatus es, Domine: sanctuarium tuum, Domine, quod firmaverunt manus tuæ.

18Dominus regnabit in æternum et ultra.

19Ingressus est enim eques Pharao cum curribus et equitibus ejus in mare: et reduxit super eos Dominus aquas maris: filii autem Israël ambulaverunt per siccum in medio ejus.]

20Sumpsit ergo Maria prophetissa, soror Aaron, tympanum in manu sua: egressæque sunt omnes mulieres post eam cum tympanis et choris,

21quibus præcinebat, dicens: [Cantemus Domino, gloriose enim magnificatus est: equum et ascensorem ejus dejecit in mare.]

22Tulit autem Moyses Israël de mari Rubro, et egressi sunt in desertum Sur: ambulaveruntque tribus diebus per solitudinem, et non inveniebant aquam.

23Et venerunt in Mara, nec poterant bibere aquas de Mara, eo quod essent amaræ: unde et congruum loco nomen imposuit, vocans illum Mara, id est, amaritudinem.

24Et murmuravit populus contra Moysen, dicens: Quid bibemus?

25At ille clamavit ad Dominum, qui ostendit ei lignum: quod cum misisset in aquas, in dulcedinem versæ sunt: ibi constituit ei præcepta, atque judicia, et ibi tentavit eum,

26dicens: Si audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et quod rectum est coram eo feceris, et obedieris mandatis ejus, custodierisque omnia præcepta illius, cunctum languorem, quem posui in Ægypto, non inducam super te: ego enim Dominus sanator tuus.

27Venerunt autem in Elim filii Israël, ubi erant duodecim fontes aquarum, et septuaginta palmæ: et castrametati sunt juxta aquas.

1Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord: and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea.

2The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he is become salvation to me: he is my God and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I will exalt him.

3The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name.

4Pharao’s chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.

5The depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone.

6Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy.

7And in the multitude of they glory thou hast put down thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like stubble.

8And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depth were gathered together in the midst of the sea.

9The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay them.

10Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.

11Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders?

12Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them.

13In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy habitation.

14Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.

15Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.

16Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness of thy arm: let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.

17Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

19For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.

20So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and with dances:

21And she began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath thrown into the sea.

22And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through the wilderness, and found no water.

23And they came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of Mara, because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable to the place, calling it Mara, that is, bitterness.

24And the people murmured against Moses, saying: What shall we drink?

25But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,

26Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy healer.

27And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by the waters.
