14:26
God said to Moses, ‘Extend your hand over the sea. The waters will come back over the Egyptians, covering their chariot corps and cavalry.’

Vayomer Adonay el-Moshe neteh et-yadcha al-hayam vayashuvu hamayim al-Mitsrayim al-richbo ve’al-parashav.

14:27
Just before morning, Moses extended his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal condition. The Egyptians were fleeing [the water], but God swamped the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.

Vayet Moshe et-yado al-hayam vayashov hayam lifnot boker le’eytano uMitsrayim nasim likrato vayena’er Adonay et-Mitsrayim betoch hayam.

14:28
The waters came back and covered the cavalry and chariots. Of all Pharaoh’s army that had followed [the Israelites] into the sea, not a single one remained.

Vayashuvu hamayim vayechasu et-harechev ve’et-haparashim lechol cheyl Par’oh haba’im achareyhem bayam lo nish’ar bahem ad-echad.

14:29
Meanwhile, the Israelites were walking in the midst of the sea on dry land. The water was on their right and on their left like [two] walls.

Uveney Yisra’el halchu vayabashah betoch hayam vehamayim lahem chomah miyeminam umismolam.

14:30
Thus, on that day, God rescued the Israelites from Egypt. The Israelites saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

Vayosha Adonay bayom hahu et-Yisra’el miyad Mistrayim vayar Yisra’el et-Mitsrayim met al-sfat hayam.

14:31
The Israelites saw the great power that God had unleashed against Egypt, and the people were in awe of God. They believed in God and in his servant Moses.

Vayar Yisra’el et-hayad hagdolah asher asah Adonay beMitsrayim vayir’u ha’am et-Adonay vaya’aminu b’Adonay uveMoshe avdo.

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.

15:15
Edom’s chiefs then panicked;
Moab’s heroes were seized with trembling;
Canaan’s residents melted away.

Az nivhalu alufey Edom eyley Mo’av yochazemo ra’ad namogu kol yoshvey Chena’an.

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.
