Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Τότε ᾖσε Μωυσῆς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν ᾠδὴν ταύτην τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ εἶπαν, λέγοντες, ᾄσωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐνδόξως γὰρ δεδόξασται· ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην ἔῤῥιψεν εἰς θάλασσαν.
1 Then 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.
2 Βοηθὸς καὶ σκεπαστὴς ἐγένετό μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν· οὗτός μου Θεὸς, καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν· Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ὑψώσω αὐτόν.
2 Yah 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.
3 Κύριος συντρίβων πολέμους, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ.
3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
4 Ἅρματα Φαραὼ, καὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, ἔῤῥιψεν εἰς θάλασσαν, ἐπιλέκτους ἀναβάτας τριστάτας· κατεπόθησαν ἐν ἐρυθρᾷ θαλάσσῃ·
4 He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
5 Πόντῳ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτούς· κατέδυσαν εἰς βυθὸν ὡσεὶ λίθος.
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Ἡ δεξιά σου, Κύριε, δεδόξασται ἐν ἰσχύϊ· ἡ δεξιά σου χεὶρ, Κύριε, ἔθραυσεν ἐχθρούς.
6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.
7 Καὶ τῷ πλήθει τῆς δόξης σου συνέτριψας τοὺς ὑπεναντίους· ἀπέστειλας τὴν ὀργήν σου κατέφαγεν αὐτοὺς ὡς καλάμην.
7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
8 Καὶ διὰ πνεύματος τοῦ θυμοῦ σου διέστη τὸ ὕδωρ· ἐπάγη ὡσεὶ τεῖχος τὰ ὕδατα· ἐπάγη τὰ κύματα ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης.
8 With 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.
9 Εἶπεν ὁ ἐχθρὸς, διώξας καταλήψομαι, μεριῶ σκῦλα· ἐμπλήσω ψυχήν μου, ἀνελῶ τῇ μαχαίρῃ μου, κυριεύσει ἡ χείρ μου.
9 The 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.’
10 Ἀπέστειλας τὸ πνεῦμά σου· ἐκάλυψεν αὐτοὺς θάλασσα· ἔδυσαν ὡσεὶ μόλιβος ἐν ὕδατι σφοδρῷ.
10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 Τίς ὅμοιός σοι ἐν θεοῖς, Κύριε; τίς ὅμοιός σοι; δεδοξασμένος ἐν ἁγίοις, θαυμαστὸς ἐν δόξαις, ποιῶν τέρατα.
11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Ἐξέτεινας τὴν δεξιάν σου· κατέπιεν αὐτοὺς γῆ.
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
13 Ὡδήγησας τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου τὸν λαόν σου τοῦτον, ὃν ἐλυτρώσω· παρεκάλεσας τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου εἰς κατάλυμα ἅγιόν σου.
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.
14 Ἤκουσαν ἔθνη, καὶ ὠργίσθησαν· ὠδῖνες ἔλαβον κατοικοῦντας Φυλιστιείμ.
14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Τότε ἔσπευσαν ἡγεμόνες Ἐδὼμ, καὶ ἄρχοντες Μωαβιτῶν· ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς τρόμος· ἐτάκησαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες Χαναάν.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Ἐπιπέσοι ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τρόμος καὶ φόβος· μεγέθει βραχίονός σου ἀπολιθωθήτωσαν, ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ λαός σου, Κύριε· ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ λαός σου οὗτος, ὃν ἐκτήσω.
16 Terror 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.
17 Εἰσαγαγὼν καταφύτευσον αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος κληρονομίας σου, εἰς ἕτοιμον κατοικητήριόν σου, ὃ κατηρτίσω, Κύριε, ἁγίασμα, Κύριε, ὃ ἡτοίμασαν αἱ χεῖρές σου.
17 You 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.
18 Κύριος βασιλεύων τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ ἐπʼ αἰῶνα, καὶ ἔτι.
18 Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”
19 Ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν ἵππος Φαραὼ σὺν ἅρμασιν καὶ ἀναβάταις εἰς θάλασσαν, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς Κύριος τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπορεύθησαν διὰ ξηρᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης.
19 For 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.
20 Λαβοῦσα δὲ Μαριὰμ ἡ προφῆτις ἡ ἀδελφὴ Ἀαρὼν τὸ τύμπανον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες ὀπίσω αὐτῆς μετὰ τυμπάνων καὶ χορῶν.
20 Miriam 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.
21 Ἐξῆρχε δὲ αὐτῶν Μαριὰμ, λέγουσα, ᾄσωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐνδόξως γὰρ δεδόξασται· ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην ἔῤῥιψεν εἰς θάλασσαν.
21 Miriam answered them, “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”
22 Ἐξῆρε δὲ Μωυσῆς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἐρυθρᾶς, καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Σούρ· καὶ ἐπορεύοντο τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ οὐχ ηὕρισκον ὕδωρ, ὥστε πιεῖν.
22 Moses 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.
23 Ἦλθον δὲ εἰς Μεῤῥᾶ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιεῖν ἐκ Μεῤῥᾶς· πικρὸν γὰρ ἦν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Πικρία.
23 When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
24 Καὶ διεγόγγυζεν ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ Μωυσῇ, λέγοντες, τί πιόμεθα;
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 Ἐβόησε 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,
25 Then 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.
26 καὶ 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.
26 He 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.”
27 Καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς Αἰλείμ· καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ δώδεκα πηγαὶ ὑδάτων, καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα στελέχη φοινίκων· παρενέβαλον δὲ ἐκεῖ παρὰ τὰ ὕδατα.
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Not, however, the wood which we read Moses cast into the bitter waters to make them sweet, nor the stone which Jacob used as a pillow, nor the ram which Abraham offered up instead of his son; for these, though they are things, are also signs of other things.

… expression as when we say, "This servitude he served," "such a life he lived." He is here alluding to that well-known hymn, commencing, "I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and the rider hath He thrown into the sea."
