1 El Señor le ordenó a Moisés:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 «Diles a los israelitas que den la vuelta hacia Pi Ajirot, entre Migdol y el mar, frente a Baal Zefón, y que acampen allí junto al mar.
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 El faraón pensará: “Los israelitas están allí atrapados entre el mar y el desierto”.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 Y una vez más endureceré el corazón del faraón, y él los perseguirá. Lo hago así para mostrarle mi poder al faraón y a todo su ejército. Entonces todos los egipcios sabrán que yo soy el Señor». Los israelitas acamparon donde el Señor les había dicho.
4 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.
5 Cuando el faraón y sus hombres se dieron cuenta de que los israelitas se habían escapado, cambiaron de parecer, y dijeron: «¿Cómo hemos dejado que estos esclavos se nos vayan? ¿Quién va a hacer el trabajo que ellos hacían? ¿Por qué hemos sido tan torpes?».
5 The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6 Sin pérdida de tiempo, el faraón salió en su carro de guerra para perseguir al pueblo de Israel,
6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 seguido por todos los carros de guerra de Egipto, seiscientos en total, y otros más conducidos por los oficiales egipcios.
7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 Lo hizo porque el Señor le había endurecido el corazón. Así que salió en persecución de Israel, el cual marchaba firme y confiado en la victoria.
8 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 Todo el ejército del faraón, compuesto por caballos, carros de guerra, jinetes y las tropas de a pie, salió en persecución de los israelitas. Y los alcanzaron cerca de Pi Ajirot, frente a Baal Zefón, junto al mar, donde estaban acampando.
9 The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 Cuando los israelitas vieron que a lo lejos venía el ejército egipcio en su persecución, tuvieron mucho miedo, y clamaron al Señor en busca de ayuda.
10 When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.
11 Luego se volvieron contra Moisés, diciéndole: «¿Nos has traído para que muramos en el desierto? ¿Acaso no había suficientes tumbas en Egipto para enterrarnos? ¿Por qué nos hiciste salir de Egipto?
11 They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
12 Cuando éramos esclavos, ¿no te dijimos que mejor nos dejaras tranquilos, que era mucho mejor ser esclavos de los egipcios que morir en el desierto?».
12 Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Pero Moisés le dijo al pueblo: «No teman, quédense donde están y observen la forma maravillosa en que el Señor los salvará en este día. Los egipcios que hoy ven, no los volverán a ver nunca más.
13 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 El Señor peleará por ustedes, de modo que ustedes no tendrán que levantar ni un solo dedo».
14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: «¿Por qué clamas a mí? ¡Dile al pueblo que siga adelante!
15 Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 Extiende tu vara sobre las aguas, y el mar abrirá un sendero delante de ti, y todo el pueblo de Israel podrá cruzarlo como en tierra seca.
16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
17 Yo he endurecido el corazón de los egipcios, y ellos los seguirán, y verán cómo honro mi nombre derrotando al faraón, con todos sus ejércitos, sus carros y sus caballos.
17 Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 ¡Todo Egipto sabrá que yo soy el Señor!».
18 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19 El ángel del Señor, que estaba guiando al pueblo de Israel, se puso detrás de todos. También la columna de nube se colocó detrás del pueblo,
19 The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20 y se interpuso entre el pueblo de Israel y los egipcios. Y aquella noche, al convertirse en columna de fuego, dio oscuridad a los egipcios e iluminó al pueblo de Israel. ¡Los egipcios no pudieron alcanzar a los israelitas!
20 It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
21 Mientras tanto, Moisés extendió su vara sobre el mar, y el Señor abrió un sendero a través del mar, con muros de agua a cada lado. Un gran viento del oriente sopló toda la noche y secó el fondo del mar.
21 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 ¡El pueblo de Israel caminó a través del mar por tierra seca!
22 The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Los egipcios los siguieron por entre los dos muros de agua a lo largo del fondo del mar, con todos los caballos, carros y jinetes del faraón.
23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Pero en la mañana, el Señor miró desde la nube de fuego a los egipcios, y trastornó su campamento.
24 In the morning watch, Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
25 Las ruedas de sus carros de guerra se atascaron, de modo que avanzaban muy lentamente. Entonces los egipcios gritaron: «¡Salgamos de aquí, porque el Señor está peleando por ellos contra nosotros!».
25 He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26 Cuando todos los israelitas pasaron, el Señor le dijo a Moisés: «Extiende tu vara sobre el mar, para que las aguas regresen y caigan sobre los egipcios, sobre sus carros y sus jinetes».
26 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 Moisés lo hizo así y, al amanecer, el mar regresó a su posición normal. Los egipcios trataron de huir, pero el Señor los hizo ahogar en el mar.
27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 El agua cubrió el sendero, y a los caballos y sus jinetes. Y todo el ejército del faraón, que perseguía a Israel a través del mar, pereció.
28 The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29 En cambio, el pueblo de Israel cruzó el mar por tierra seca, pues las aguas habían formado muros a ambos lados de ellos.
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Así salvó el Señor a los israelitas aquel día. El pueblo de Israel vio a los egipcios muertos a la orilla del mar.
30 Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 Cuando los israelitas vieron el gran milagro que el Señor había hecho por ellos contra los egipcios, temieron al Señor, y creyeron en él y en su siervo Moisés.
31 Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.

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).
The sea was divided; a way was made in the midst of the waves; their enemies following, were covered by the same waves through which they passed: and yet when Moses, the man of God, had departed from their sight, they asked for an idol, and said, "Make us gods to go before us; for this man has deserted us." …

Since Moses too was pained, and prayed in this way and was heard; for this cause also God said unto him, "Wherefore criest thou unto me." And Hannah too again, her voice not being heard, accomplished all she wished, forasmuch as her heart cried out.

Therefore this darkness of the body has been placed between us and God, like the cloud of old between the Egyptians and the Hebrews; and this is perhaps what is meant by "He made darkness His secret place," namely our dulness, through which few can see even a little.

Some "were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea." And it is admitted that faith even before now has been put in men; for "The people believed God and his servant Moses." Why then, it is asked, do we, on account of faith and of baptism, exalt and magnify the Holy Spirit so far above creation, when …

For who else save Moses smote the Egyptians with so many and mighty plagues, as when He led the people through the parted waters of the sea, when he obtained manna for them from heaven in their hunger, and water from the rock in their thirst?
