神叫以色列人轉回安營

¹耶和華曉諭摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²「你吩咐以色列人轉回，安營在比‧哈希錄前，密奪和海的中間，對著巴力‧洗分，靠近海邊安營。“Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. You are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal-zephon.

³法老必說：『以色列人在地中繞迷了，曠野把他們困住了。』For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’

⁴我要使法老的心剛硬，他要追趕他們，我便在法老和他全軍身上得榮耀；埃及人就知道我是耶和華。」於是以色列人這樣行了。And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. But I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” So this is what the Israelites did.

法老追趕以色列人

⁵有人告訴埃及王說：「百姓逃跑。」法老和他的臣僕就向百姓變心，說：「我們容以色列人去，不再服事我們，這做的是甚麼事呢？」When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”

⁶法老就預備他的車輛，帶領軍兵同去，So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him.

⁷並帶著六百輛特選的車和埃及所有的車，每輛都有車兵長。He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.

⁸耶和華使埃及王法老的心剛硬，他就追趕以色列人，因為以色列人是昂然無懼地出埃及。And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out defiantly.

⁹埃及人追趕他們，法老一切的馬匹、車輛、馬兵，與軍兵就在海邊上，靠近比‧哈希錄，對著巴力‧洗分，在他們安營的地方追上了。The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.

百姓懼怕埋怨

¹⁰法老臨近的時候，以色列人舉目看見埃及人趕來，就甚懼怕，向耶和華哀求。As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians marching after them, and they were terrified and cried out to the LORD.

¹¹他們對摩西說：「難道在埃及沒有墳地，你把我們帶來死在曠野嗎？你為甚麼這樣待我們，將我們從埃及領出來呢？They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us into the wilderness to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?

¹²我們在埃及豈沒有對你說過，不要攪擾我們，容我們服事埃及人嗎？因為服事埃及人比死在曠野還好。」Did we not say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

耶和華必為你們爭戰

¹³摩西對百姓說：「不要懼怕，只管站住！看耶和華今天向你們所要施行的救恩。因為，你們今天所看見的埃及人必永遠不再看見了。But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.

¹⁴耶和華必為你們爭戰；你們只管靜默，不要作聲。」The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

吩咐以色列人往前走

¹⁵耶和華對摩西說：「你為甚麼向我哀求呢？你吩咐以色列人往前走。Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.

¹⁶你舉手向海伸杖，把水分開。以色列人要下海中走乾地。And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

¹⁷我要使埃及人的心剛硬，他們就跟著下去。我要在法老和他的全軍、車輛、馬兵上得榮耀。And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen.

¹⁸我在法老和他的車輛、馬兵上得榮耀的時候，埃及人就知道我是耶和華了。」The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

雲柱轉到後邊

¹⁹在以色列營前行走　神的使者，轉到他們後邊去；雲柱也從他們前邊轉到他們後邊立住。And the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them,

²⁰在埃及營和以色列營中間有雲柱，一邊黑暗，一邊發光，終夜兩下不得相近。so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other.

以色列人在海中走乾地

²¹摩西向海伸杖，耶和華便用大東風，使海水一夜退去，水便分開，海就成了乾地。Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided,

²²以色列人下海中走乾地，水在他們的左右作了牆垣。and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.

埃及人追下海中

²³埃及人追趕他們，法老一切的馬匹、車輛，和馬兵都跟著下到海中。And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen—and followed them into the sea.

²⁴到了晨更的時候，耶和華從雲火柱中向埃及的軍兵觀看，使埃及的軍兵混亂了；At morning watch, however, the LORD looked down on the army of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw their camp into confusion.

²⁵又使他們的車輪脫落，難以行走，以致埃及人說：「我們從以色列人面前逃跑吧！因耶和華為他們攻擊我們了。」He caused their chariot wheels to wobble, so that they had difficulty driving. “Let us flee from the Israelites,” said the Egyptians, “for the LORD is fighting for them against Egypt!”

海水復原，淹沒埃及軍兵

²⁶耶和華對摩西說：「你向海伸杖，叫水仍合在埃及人並他們的車輛、馬兵身上。」Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”

²⁷摩西就向海伸杖，到了天一亮，海水仍舊復原。埃及人避水逃跑的時候，耶和華把他們推翻在海中，So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians were retreating, the LORD swept them into the sea.

²⁸水就回流，淹沒了車輛和馬兵。那些跟著以色列人下海法老的全軍，連一個也沒有剩下。The waters flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had chased the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.

²⁹以色列人卻在海中走乾地；水在他們的左右作了牆垣。But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.

百姓敬畏耶和華

³⁰當日，耶和華這樣拯救以色列人脫離埃及人的手，以色列人看見埃及人的死屍都在海邊了。That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.

³¹以色列人看見耶和華向埃及人所行的大事，就敬畏耶和華，又信服他和他的僕人摩西。When Israel saw the great power that the LORD had exercised over the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and believed in Him and in His servant Moses.

摩西的歌：耶和華大大戰勝

¹那時，摩西和以色列人向耶和華唱歌說：我要向耶和華歌唱，因他大大戰勝，將馬和騎馬的投在海中。Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.

²耶和華是我的力量，我的詩歌，也成了我的拯救。這是我的　神，我要讚美他，是我父親的　神，我要尊崇他。The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

³耶和華是戰士；他的名是耶和華。The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.

⁴法老的車輛、軍兵，耶和華已拋在海中；他特選的軍長都沉於紅海。Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

⁵深水淹沒他們；他們如同石頭墜到深處。The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone.

⁶耶和華啊，你的右手施展能力，顯出榮耀；耶和華啊，你的右手摔碎仇敵。Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.

⁷你大發威嚴，推翻那些起來攻擊你的；你發出烈怒如火，燒滅他們像燒碎秸一樣。You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.

⁸你發鼻中的氣，水便聚起成堆，大水直立如壘，海中的深水凝結。At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; like a wall the currents stood firm; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹仇敵說：我要追趕，我要追上；我要分擄物，我要在他們身上稱我的心願。我要拔出刀來，親手殺滅他們。The enemy declared, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.’

¹⁰你叫風一吹，海就把他們淹沒；他們如鉛沉在大水之中。But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

眾神之中，誰能像你

¹¹耶和華啊，眾神之中，誰能像你？誰能像你─至聖至榮，可頌可畏，施行奇事？Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?

¹²你伸出右手，地便吞滅他們。You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them up.

領百姓到你的聖所

¹³你憑慈愛領了你所贖的百姓；你憑能力引他們到了你的聖所。With loving devotion You will lead the people You have redeemed; with Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.

¹⁴外邦人聽見就發顫；疼痛抓住非利士的居民。The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the dwellers of Philistia.

¹⁵那時，以東的族長驚惶，摩押的英雄被戰兢抓住，迦南的居民心都消化了。Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; trembling will seize the leaders of Moab; those who dwell in Canaan will melt away,

¹⁶驚駭恐懼臨到他們。耶和華啊，因你膀臂的大能，他們如石頭寂然不動，等候你的百姓過去，等候你所贖的百姓過去。and terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You have bought pass by.

¹⁷你要將他們領進去，栽於你產業的山上─耶和華啊，就是你為自己所造的住處；主啊，就是你手所建立的聖所。You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance—the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.

¹⁸耶和華必作王，直到永永遠遠！The LORD will reign forever and ever!”

米利暗的歌

¹⁹法老的馬匹、車輛，和馬兵下到海中，耶和華使海水回流，淹沒他們；惟有以色列人在海中走乾地。For when Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.

²⁰亞倫的姊姊，女先知米利暗，手裡拿著鼓；眾婦女也跟她出去拿鼓跳舞。Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing.

²¹米利暗應聲說：你們要歌頌耶和華，因他大大戰勝，將馬和騎馬的投在海中。And Miriam sang back to them: “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.”

第三次預言受死和復活

¹⁷耶穌上耶路撒冷去的時候，在路上把十二個門徒帶到一邊，對他們說：As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,

¹⁸「看哪，我們上耶路撒冷去，人子要被交給祭司長和文士。他們要定他死罪，“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death

¹⁹又交給外邦人，將他戲弄，鞭打，釘在十字架上；第三日他要復活。」and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life.”

你們能喝我的杯嗎

²²耶穌回答說：「你們不知道所求的是甚麼；我將要喝的杯，你們能喝嗎？」他們說：「我們能。」“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.

²³耶穌說：「我所喝的杯，你們必要喝；只是坐在我的左右，不是我可以賜的，乃是我父為誰預備的，就賜給誰。」“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”

²⁶只是在你們中間，不可這樣；你們中間誰願為大，就必作你們的用人；It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

²⁷誰願為首，就必作你們的僕人。and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—

²⁸正如人子來，不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，並且要捨命，作多人的贖價。」just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
