1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Dí a los hijos de Israel que regresen y acampen delante de Pi-hahirot, entre Migdol y el mar, delante de Baal-zefón. Frente a él acamparán 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 porque Faraón dirá de los hijos de Israel: Ellos están vagando sin rumbo cierto en el país. El desierto los encerró.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 Yo endureceré el corazón de Faraón y los perseguirá. Yo seré glorificado por medio de Faraón y de todo su ejército, y los egipcios entenderán que Yo soy Yavé. Y ellos hicieron así.
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 se le informó al rey de Egipto que el pueblo huyó, el corazón de Faraón y el de sus esclavos se mudó contra el pueblo, y dijeron: ¿Qué es esto que hicimos? ¿Por qué dejamos salir a Israel de nuestra esclavitud?
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 Entonces aparejó su carroza, tomó consigo a su pueblo
6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 y tomó 600 carruajes escogidos y todos los carruajes de Egipto con capitanes sobre todos ellos.
7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 Yavé endureció el corazón de Faraón, rey de Egipto, quien persiguió a los hijos de Israel. Pero los hijos de Israel salieron con atrevimiento.
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 Los egipcios los persiguieron con todos los caballos y carruajes de Faraón, con sus jinetes y su ejército. Los alcanzaron mientras acampaban junto al mar, al lado de Pi-hahirot, frente a Baal-zefón.
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 Faraón se acercó, los hijos de Israel levantaron sus ojos, y ciertamente los egipcios marchaban tras ellos. Y ellos temieron muchísimo, así que los hijos de Israel clamaron a Yavé.
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 Y dijeron a Moisés: ¿Nos sacaste para que muriéramos en el desierto porque no había sepulcros en Egipto? ¿Qué es esto que nos hiciste al sacarnos 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 ¿No es esta la palabra que te hablamos en Egipto: Déjanos que sirvamos como esclavos a los egipcios? Porque sería mejor para nosotros servir como 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 respondió al pueblo: ¡No teman! ¡Estén firmes y vean la salvación que Yavé hará hoy por ustedes, porque los egipcios que ustedes vieron hoy, no los volverán a ver jamás!
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 Yavé luchará por ustedes, y ustedes estén quietos.
14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Entonces Yavé dijo a Moisés: ¿Por qué clamas a Mí? ¡Di a los hijos de Israel que sigan adelante!
15 Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 Y tú, ¡levanta tu vara, extiende tu mano sobre el mar y divídelo, y los hijos de Israel pasarán por en medio del mar en lo seco!
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 ciertamente endureceré el corazón de los egipcios para que entren tras ellos, y seré glorificado en Faraón, en todo su ejército, sus carruajes y sus jinetes.
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 Cuando sea glorificado en Faraón, sus carruajes y sus jinetes, los egipcios entenderán que Yo soy Yavé.
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 Entonces el Ángel de ʼElohim, Quien iba adelante del campamento de Israel, se colocó detrás de ellos. La columna de nube se movió de adelante de ellos y se puso detrás de ellos,
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 e iba entre el campamento de Egipto y el de Israel. Era nube y oscuridad [para Egipto], pero iluminaba la noche [para Israel]. No se acercó el uno al otro en toda la noche.
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 Entonces Moisés extendió su mano hacia el mar, y Yavé hizo que el mar se retirara por medio de un recio viento del este toda la noche. Las aguas fueron divididas, y el mar se volvió tierra seca.
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 Así que los hijos de Israel pasaron en medio del mar sobre tierra seca. Las aguas eran un muro para ellos a su mano derecha y a su izquierda.
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 continuaron la persecución. Toda la caballería de Faraón, sus carruajes y sus jinetes entraron tras ellos en medio del mar.
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 vigilia del alba, aconteció que Yavé miró desde la columna de fuego y nube al campamento de los egipcios, y lo trastornó.
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 Quitó las ruedas de sus carruajes, de modo que los conducían con dificultad. Por tanto los egipcios dijeron: ¡Huyamos de Israel, porque Yavé pelea por ellos contra los egipcios!
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 Entonces Yavé dijo a Moisés: ¡Extiende tu mano sobre el mar, y que las aguas se vuelvan sobre los egipcios, sus carruajes 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 extendió su mano sobre el mar. Al amanecer el mar se volvió a su estado normal, y los egipcios chocaron con él cuando huían. Así Yavé trastornó a los egipcios en medio del 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 Las aguas regresaron y cubrieron los carruajes, los jinetes y todo el ejército de Faraón que entró tras ellos en el mar. No quedó ni uno de ellos.
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 Sin embargo, los hijos de Israel anduvieron en tierra seca en medio del mar, y las aguas les fueron un muro a su mano derecha y a su izquierda.
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 Yavé salvó a Israel de mano de los egipcios aquel día, e 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 Israel vio el gran poder que Yavé usó contra los egipcios, el pueblo temió a Yavé, y creyeron en Yavé y en su esclavo 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?
