Mısır’dan Çıkış 15

¹O zaman Musa ve İsrailoğulları Tanrı’ya bu ezgiyi söylediler ve şöyle dediler: "Rab’be ezgi söyleyelim, çünkü görkemli biçimde yüceltilmiştir; atı ve binicisini denize fırlattı.

²Bana yardımcı ve koruyucu oldu kurtuluş için; O’dur benim Tanrım, O’nu şanlandıracağım; babamın Tanrısıdır, O’nu yükselteceğim.

³Savaşları paramparça edendir Rab, O’nun adı Rab’dir.

⁴Firavun’un arabalarını ve ordusunu denize fırlattı; seçkin üçlü araba savaşçılarını Kızıl Deniz’de boğdu.

⁵Açık deniz onları örttü, bir taş gibi derinliğe battılar.

⁶Senin sağ elin, ey Rab, güç içinde yüceltilmiştir; senin sağ elin, ey Rab, düşmanları ezdi.

⁷Görkeminin büyüklüğüyle sana karşı duranları paramparça ettin; gazabını gönderdin, onları anız gibi yiyip bitirdi.

⁸Ve senin öfkenin rüzgarı aracılığıyla su ikiye ayrıldı; sular bir duvar gibi dondu, dalgalar denizin ortasında katılaştı.

⁹Düşman dedi ki: 'Kovalayıp yakalayacağım, yağmayı paylaştıracağım, canımı doyuracağım, kılıcımla yok edeceğim, elim egemen olacak.'

¹⁰Rüzgarını gönderdin, deniz onları örttü; güçlü suların içinde kurşun gibi battılar.

¹¹Tanrılar arasında senin gibisi var mı, ey Rab? Kutsallar arasında yüceltilmiş, görkemler içinde hayranlık uyandıran, mucizeler yaratan senin gibisi kim var?

¹²Sağ elini uzattın, toprak onları yuttu.

¹³Kurtardığın bu halkına doğruluğunla yol gösterdin; gücünle onları kutsal konutuna çağırdın.

¹⁴Uluslar bunu duyup öfkelendiler; Filist’te oturanları doğum sancıları yakaladı.

¹⁵O zaman Edom önderleri telaşlandı ve Moab yöneticilerini titreme yakaladı; Kenan’da oturanların tümü eriyip gitti.

¹⁶Üzerlerine titreme ve korku düşsün; senin kolunun büyüklüğü karşısında, ey Rab, halkın geçene dek, edindiğin bu halk geçip gidene dek taşlaşsınlar.

¹⁷Onları içeri götürüp kendi mirasın olan dağa yerleştir; oturman için hazırladığın hazır konutuna, ey Rab, ellerinin kurduğu kutsal yere, ey Rab.

¹⁸Rab, çağlar boyunca, çağların üzerine ve daha da ötesine krallık edendir."

¹⁹Çünkü Firavun’un atı arabaları ve binicileriyle birlikte denize girdiğinde, Rab denizin sularını onların üzerine geri getirdi; ama İsrailoğulları denizin ortasından kuru topraktan geçip gittiler.

²⁰Harun’un kız kardeşi Peygamber Meryem tefi eline aldı; bütün kadınlar da teflerle ve dans gruplarıyla onun arkasından çıktılar.

²¹Meryem onlara öncülük ederek şöyle diyordu: "Rab’be ezgi söyleyelim, çünkü görkemli biçimde yüceltilmiştir; atı ve binicisini denize fırlattı."

²²Musa İsrailoğulları’nı Kızıl Deniz’den yola çıkardı ve onları Şur Çölü’ne götürdü; çölde üç gün yol aldılar ama içmek için su bulamıyorlardı.

²³Mara’ya geldiler, ama Mara’dan içemediler, çünkü acıydı; bu yüzden o yerin adını Acılık diye adlandırdı.

²⁴Halk Musa’ya karşı şikayet ederek, "Ne içeceğiz?" dedi.

²⁵Musa Rab’be feryat etti; Rab ona bir ağaç gösterdi. Musa onu suya atınca su tatlılaştı. Orada onlar için yargılar ve kararlar koydu ve orada onları sınadı.

²⁶Ve şöyle dedi: "Eğer senin Tanrın Rab’bin sesini can kulağıyla işitir, O’nun önünde hoşnut edenleri yapar, buyruklarına kulak verir ve bütün kurallarına uyarsan, Mısırlılara getirdiğim hiçbir hastalığı senin üzerine getirmeyeceğim; çünkü seni iyileştiren Tanrın Rab benim."

²⁷Ve Elim’e geldiler; orada on iki su kaynağı ve yetmiş hurma ağacı gövdesi vardı. Ve orada suların yanında konakladılar.

¹ΤΟΤΕ ᾖσε Μωυσῆς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ τὴν ᾠδὴν ταύτην τῷ Θεῷ καὶ εἶπαν λέγοντες· ᾄσωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐνδόξως γὰρ δεδόξασται· ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην ἔρριψεν εἰς θάλασσαν.

²βοηθὸς καὶ σκεπαστὴς ἐγένετό μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν· οὗτός μου Θεός, καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν, Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ὑψώσω αὐτόν.

³Κύριος συντρίβων πολέμους, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ.

⁴ἅρματα Φαραὼ καὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ ἔρριψεν εἰς θάλασσαν, ἐπιλέκτους ἀναβάτας τριστάτας κατεπόντισεν ἐν ἐρυθρᾷ θαλάσσῃ,

⁵πόντῳ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτούς, κατέδυσαν εἰς βυθὸν ὡσεὶ λίθος.

⁶ἡ δεξιά σου, Κύριε, δεδόξασται ἐν ἰσχύϊ· ἡ δεξιά σου χείρ, Κύριε, ἔθραυσεν ἐχθρούς.

⁷καὶ τῷ πλήθει τῆς δόξης σου συνέτριψας τοὺς ὑπεναντίους· ἀπέστειλας τὴν ὀργήν σου καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτοὺς ὡς καλάμην.

⁸καὶ διὰ πνεύματος τοῦ θυμοῦ σου διέστη τὸ ὕδωρ· ἐπάγη ὡσεὶ τεῖχος τὰ ὕδατα, ἐπάγη τὰ κύματα ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης.

⁹εἶπεν ὁ ἐχθρός, διώξας καταλήψομαι, μεριῶ σκῦλα, ἐμπλήσω ψυχήν μου, ἀνελῶ τῇ μαχαίρᾳ μου, κυριεύσει ἡ χείρ μου.

¹⁰ἀπέστειλας τὸ πνεῦμά σου, ἐκάλυψεν αὐτοὺς θάλασσα· ἔδυσαν ὡσεὶ μόλιβος ἐν ὕδατι σφοδρῷ.

¹¹τίς ὅμοιός σοι ἐν θεοῖς, Κύριε; τίς ὅμοιός σοι, δεδοξασμένος ἐν ἁγίοις, θαυμαστὸς ἐν δόξαις, ποιῶν τέρατα.

¹²ἐξέτεινας τὴν δεξιάν σου, κατέπιεν αὐτοὺς γῆ.

¹³ὡδήγησας τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου τὸν λαόν σου τοῦτον, ὃν ἐλυτρώσω, παρεκάλεσας τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου εἰς κατάλυμα ἅγιόν σου.

¹⁴ἤκουσαν ἔθνη καὶ ὠργίσθησαν· ὠδῖνες ἔλαβον κατοικοῦντας Φυλιστιείμ.

¹⁵τότε ἔσπευσαν ἡγεμόνες ᾿Εδώμ, καὶ ἄρχοντες Μωαβιτῶν, ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς τρόμος, ἐτάκησαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες Χαναάν.

¹⁶ἐπιπέσοι ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τρόμος καὶ φόβος, μεγέθει βραχίονός σου ἀπολιθωθήτωσαν, ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ λαός σου, Κύριε, ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ λαός σου οὗτος, ὃν ἐκτήσω.

¹⁷εἰσαγαγὼν καταφύτευσον αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος κληρονομίας σου, εἰς ἕτοιμον κατοικητήριόν σου, ὃ κατηρτίσω, Κύριε, ἁγίασμα, Κύριε, ὃ ἡτοίμασαν αἱ χεῖρές σου.

¹⁸Κύριος βασιλεύων τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ἐπ᾿ αἰῶνα καὶ ἔτι.

¹⁹ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν ἵππος Φαραὼ σὺν ἅρμασι καὶ ἀναβάταις εἰς θάλασσαν, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς Κύριος τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπορεύθησαν διὰ ξηρᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης.

²⁰Λαβοῦσα δὲ Μαριάμ, ἡ προφῆτις, ἡ ἀδελφὴ ᾿Ααρών, τὸ τύμπανον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες ὀπίσω αὐτῆς μετὰ τυμπάνων καὶ χορῶν,

²¹ἐξῆρχε δὲ αὐτῶν Μαριὰμ λέγουσα· ᾄσωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐνδόξως γὰρ δεδόξασται· ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην ἔρριψεν εἰς θάλασσαν.

²²᾿Εξῇρε δὲ Μωυσῆς τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἐρυθρᾶς καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Σούρ· καὶ ἐπορεύοντο τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ οὐχ ηὕρισκον ὕδωρ ὥστε πιεῖν.

²³ἦλθον δὲ εἰς Μερρᾶ καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιεῖν ἐκ Μερρᾶς, πικρὸν γὰρ ἦν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Πικρία.

²⁴καὶ διεγόγγυζεν ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ Μωυσῇ λέγοντες· τί πιόμεθα;

²⁵ἐβόησε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ Κύριος ξύλον, καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐγλυκάνθη τὸ ὕδωρ. ἐκεῖ ἔθετο αὐτῷ δικαιώματα καὶ κρίσεις καὶ ἐκεῖ αὐτὸν ἐπείρασε.

²⁶καὶ εἶπεν· ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου καὶ τὰ ἀρεστὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ποιήσῃς καὶ ἐνωτίσῃ ταῖς ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ φυλάξῃς πάντα τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ, πᾶσαν νόσον, ἣν ἐπήγαγον τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις, οὐκ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σέ· ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ὁ ἰώμενός σε.

²⁷Καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς Αἰλείμ, καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ δώδεκα πηγαὶ ὑδάτων καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα στελέχη φοινίκων· παρενέβαλον δὲ ἐκεῖ παρὰ τὰ ὕδατα.

¹Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to God, and spoke, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he is very greatly glorified: horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.

²He was to me a helper and protector for salvation: this is my God and I will glorify him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

³The Lord bringing wars to nought, the Lord [is] his name.

⁴He has cast the chariots of Pharao and his host into the sea, the chosen mounted captains: they were swallowed up in the Red Sea.

⁵He covered them with the sea: they sank to the depth like a stone.

⁶Thy right hand, O God, has been glorified in strength; thy right hand, O God, has broken the enemies.

⁷And in the abundance of thy glory thou hast broken the adversaries to pieces: thou sentest forth thy wrath, it devoured them as stubble.

⁸And by the breath of thine anger the water parted asunder; the waters were congealed as a wall, the waves were congealed in the midst of the sea.

⁹The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword, my hand shall have dominion.

¹⁰Thou sentest forth thy wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty water.

¹¹Who is like to thee among the gods, O Lord? who is like to thee? glorified in holiness, marvelous in glories, doing wonders.

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

¹³Thou hast guided in thy righteousness this thy people whom thou hast redeemed, by thy strength thou hast called them into thy holy resting-place.

¹⁴The nations heard and were angry, pangs have seized on the dwellers among the Phylistines.

¹⁵Then the princes of Edom, and the chiefs of the Moabites hasted; trembling took hold upon them, all the inhabitants of Chanaan melted away.

¹⁶Let trembling and fear fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm, let them become as stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till this thy people pass over, whom thou hast purchased.

¹⁷Bring them in and plant them in the mountain of their inheritance, in thy prepared habitation, which thou, O Lord, hast prepared; the sanctuary, O Lord, which thine hands have made ready.

¹⁸The Lord reigns for ever and ever and ever.

¹⁹For the horse of Pharao went in with the chariots and horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought upon them the water of the sea, but the children of Israel walked through dry land in the midst of the sea.

²⁰And Mariam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, having taken a timbrel in her hand-- then there went forth all the women after her with timbrels and dances.

²¹And Mariam led them, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been very greatly glorified: the horse and rider has he cast into the sea.

²²So Moses brought up the children of Israel from the Red Sea, and brought them into the wilderness of Sur; and they went three days in he wilderness, and found no water to drink.

²³and they came to Merrha, and could not drink of Merrha, for it was bitter; therefore he named the name of that place, Bitterness.

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

²⁵And Moses cried to the Lord, and the Lord shewed him a tree, and he cast it into the water, and the water was sweetened: there he established to him ordinances and judgments, and there he proved him,

²⁶and said, If thou wilt indeed hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do things pleasing before him, and wilt hearken to his commands, and keep all his ordinances, no disease which I have brought upon the Egyptians will I bring upon thee, for I am the Lord thy God that heals thee.

²⁷And they came to Aelim, and there were there twelve fountains of water, and seventy stems of palm-trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
