Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Τότε έψαλεν ο Μωϋσής και οι υιοί Ισραήλ την ωδήν ταύτην προς τον Κύριον, και είπον λέγοντες, Ας ψάλλω προς τον Κύριον· διότι εδοξάσθη ενδόξως· τον ίππον και τον αναβάτην αυτού έρριψεν εις την 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 Ο Κύριος είναι η δύναμίς μου και το άσμά μου, και εστάθη η σωτηρία μου· αυτός είναι Θεός μου και θέλω δοξάσει αυτόν· Θεός του πατρός μου, και θέλω υψώσει αυτόν.
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 Ο Κύριος είναι δυνατός πολεμιστής· Κύριος το όνομα αυτού.
3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
4 Του Φαραώ τας αμάξας και το στράτευμα αυτού έρριψεν εις την θάλασσαν· και εκλεκτοί πολέμαρχοι αυτού κατεποντίσθησαν εν τη Ερυθρά θαλάσση.
4 He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
5 Αι άβυσσοι εσκέπασαν αυτούς· ως πέτρα κατεβυθίσθησαν εις τα βάθη.
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Η δεξιά σου, Κύριε, εδοξάσθη εις δύναμιν· η δεξιά σου, Κύριε, συνέτριψε τον εχθρόν.
6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.
7 Και με το μέγεθος της υπεροχής σου εξωλόθρευσας τους υπεναντίους σου· εξαπέστειλας την οργήν σου και κατέφαγεν αυτούς ως 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 Και με την πνοήν του θυμού σου τα ύδατα επεσωρεύθησαν ομού· τα κύματα εστάθησαν ως σωρός, αι άβυσσοι έπηξαν εν τω μέσω της 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 Ο εχθρός είπε, Θέλω καταδιώξει, θέλω καταφθάσει, θέλω διαμοιρασθή τα λάφυρα· η ψυχή μου θέλει χορτασθή επ' αυτούς· θέλω σύρει την μάχαιράν μου, η χειρ μου θέλει αφανίσει αυτούς.
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 Εφύσησας με τον άνεμόν σου και η θάλασσα εσκέπασεν αυτούς· κατεβυθίσθησαν ως μόλυβδος εις τα φοβερά ύδατα.
10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 Τις όμοιός σου Κύριε, μεταξύ των θεών; Τις όμοιός σου, ένδοξος εις αγιότητα, θαυμαστός εις ύμνους, ενεργών τεράστια;
11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Εξέτεινας την δεξιάν σου, και η γη κατέπιεν αυτούς.
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
13 Με το έλεός σου ώδήγησας τον λαόν τούτον, τον οποίον ελύτρωσας· ώδήγησας αυτόν με την δύναμίν σου προς την κατοικίαν της αγιότητός 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 Οι λαοί θέλουσιν ακούσει και φρίξει· πόνοι θέλουσι κατακυριεύσει τους κατοίκους της Παλαιστίνης.
14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Τότε θέλουσιν εκπλαγή οι ηγεμόνες Εδώμ· τρόμος θέλει καταλάβει τους άρχοντας του Μωάβ· πάντες οι κάτοικοι της Χαναάν θέλουσιν αναλυθή.
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 Φόβος και τρόμος θέλει επιπέσει επ' αυτούς· από του μεγέθους του βραχίονός σου θέλουσιν απολιθωθή, εωσού περάση ο λαός σου, Κύριε, εωσού περάση ο λαός ούτος, τον οποίον απέκτησας.
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 Θέλεις εισαγάγει αυτούς και φυτεύσει αυτούς εις το όρος της κληρονομίας σου, τον τόπον, Κύριε, τον οποίον ητοίμασας διά κατοικίαν σου, το αγιαστήριον, Κύριε, το οποίον αι χείρες σου έστησαν.
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 Ο Κύριος θέλει βασιλεύει εις τους αιώνας των αιώνων.
18 Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”
19 Διότι εισήλθον οι ίπποι του Φαραώ εις την θάλασσαν μετά των αμαξών αυτού και μετά των ιππέων αυτού, και ο Κύριος έστρεψεν επ' αυτούς τα ύδατα της θαλάσσης· οι δε υιοί Ισραήλ επέρασαν διά ξηράς εν τω μέσω της 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 Μαριάμ δε η προφήτις, η αδελφή του Ααρών έλαβε το τύμπανον εν τη χειρί αυτής και πάσαι αι γυναίκες εξήλθον κατόπιν αυτής μετά τυμπάνων και χορών.
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 Και η Μαριάμ ανταπεκρίνετο προς αυτούς, λέγουσα, Ψάλλετε εις τον Κύριον· διότι εδοξάσθη ενδόξως· τον ίππον και τον αναβάτην αυτού έρριψεν εις 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 Τότε εσήκωσεν ο Μωϋσής τους Ισραηλίτας από της Ερυθράς θαλάσσης, και εξήλθον εις την έρημον Σούρ· και περιεπάτουν τρεις ημέρας εν τη ερήμω και δεν εύρισκον ύδωρ.
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 Και εκείθεν ήλθον εις Μερράν· δεν ηδύναντο όμως να πίωσιν εκ των υδάτων της Μερράς, διότι ήσαν πικρά· διά τούτο και επωνομάσθη Μερρά.
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 Και εγόγγυζεν ο λαός κατά του Μωϋσέως, λέγων, Τι θέλομεν πίει;
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 Ο δε Μωϋσής εβόησε προς τον Κύριον· και έδειξεν εις αυτόν ο Κύριος ξύλον, το οποίον ότε έρριψεν εις τα ύδατα, τα ύδατα εγλυκάνθησαν. Εκεί έδωκεν εις αυτούς παραγγελίαν και διάταγμα, και εκεί εδοκίμασεν αυτούς·
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 και είπεν, Εάν ακούσης επιμελώς την φωνήν Κυρίου του Θεού σου και πράττης το αρεστόν εις τους οφθαλμούς αυτού και δώσης ακρόασιν εις τας εντολάς αυτού και φυλάξης πάντα τα προστάγματα αυτού, δεν θέλω φέρει επί σε ουδεμίαν εκ των νόσων, τας οποίας έφερα κατά των Αιγυπτίων· διότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος ο θεραπεύων 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 Έπειτα ήλθον εις Αιλείμ, όπου ήσαν δώδεκα πηγαί υδάτων και εβδομήκοντα δένδρα φοινίκων· και εκεί εστρατοπέδευσαν πλησίον των υδάτων.
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."
