1 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Diles a los israelitas que vuelvan y acampen cerca de Pi-Ajirot, entre Migdol y el mar. Deben acampar junto al mar, frente a Baal-Zefón.
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 Faraónsacará su conclusión respecto a los israelitas: ‘Están vagando por el país con gran confusión, y el desierto les ha impedido salir’.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 Daré a Faraón una actitud terca para que los persiga a fin derecuperarlos. Pero ganaré honra por lo que le sucederá al Faraón y a todo su ejército, y los egipcios sabrán que yo soy el Señor”. Así que los israelitas hicieron lo que se les ordenó.
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 rey de Egipto se enteró de que los israelitas se habían marchado apresuradamente, el Faraón y sus oficiales cambiaron de opinión sobre lo que había sucedido y dijeron: “¿Qué hemos hecho? Hemos dejado ir a todos estos esclavos israelitas”.
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 Así que el Faraón hizo preparar su carro y se puso en marcha con su ejército.
6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 Tomó 600 de sus mejores carros junto con todos los demás carros de Egipto, cada uno con su oficial a cargo.
7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 El Señor le dio al Faraón, rey de Egipto, una actitud terca, así que persiguió a los israelitas, que salían con los puños levantados en triunfo.
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 salieron en persecución, con todos los caballos y carros del Faraón, así como jinetes y soldados. Alcanzaron a los israelitas mientras estaban acampandojunto al mar cerca de Pi-Ajirot, 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 Los israelitas miraron hacia atrás y vieron al Faraón y al ejército egipcio acercándose. Estaban absolutamente aterrorizados y pidieron ayuda al Señor.
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 Se quejaron a Moisés: “¿No había tumbas en Egipto que nos tuvieras que traer aquí en el desierto para morir? ¿Qué nos has hecho al hacernos 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 ¿Acaso no te dijimos en Egipto: ‘Déjanos en paz para que sigamos siendo esclavos de los egipcios’? ¡Hubiera sido mejor para nosotros ser esclavos de los egipcios que morir aquí 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 tengan miedo. Quédense donde están y verán cómo el Señor nos salvará hoy. Los egipcios que ven ahora, ¡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 va a luchar por ustedes, así que no necesitan hacer nada”.
14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: “¿Por qué clamas a mi con gritos? Dile a los israelitas 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 Debes tomar tu bastón y sostenerlo en tu mano sobre el mar. Divídelo para que los israelitas puedan caminar por el mar 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 Pondré en los egipcios una actitud obstinada y dura para que los persigan. Entonces me ganaré su honra por lo que le sucederá al Faraón y a todo su ejército, así como a sus carros y 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 Los egipcios sabrán que soy el Señor cuando me gane su respeto a través del Faraón, sus carros y su caballería”.
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 de Dios, que había estado guiando a los israelitas, se movía 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 posicionándose entre los campos de los egipcios y de los israelitas. La nube estaba oscurapor un lado, pero iluminaba la noche por el otro. Nadie de ninguno de los dos campamentos se acercaba al otro durante 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 sobre el mar, y durante toda la noche el Señor hizo retroceder el mar con un fuerte viento del este, y convirtió el fondo del mar en tierra firme. Así que el agua se dividió,
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 y los israelitas caminaron por el mar en tierra seca, con muros de agua a su 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 los persiguieron, con todos los caballos, carros y jinetes del Faraón. Siguieron a los israelitas hasta el 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 al final de la noche el Señor miró al ejército egipcio desde la columna de fuego y nube, y les causó pánico.
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 Hizo que las ruedas de sus carros se atascaran, por lo que les resultaba difícil conducir. Los egipcios gritaron: “¡Retírense! ¡Debemos huir de los israelitas porque el Señor está luchando en favor de 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 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés: “Extiende tu mano sobre el mar, para que el agua caiga sobre los egipcios, sus carros y 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 Entonces Moisés extendió su mano sobre el mar, y al amanecer el mar volvió a la normalidad. Mientras los egipcios se retiraban, el Señor los arrastró al 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 cayó sobre ellos y cubrió los carros y los jinetes, así como todo el ejército del Faraón que había perseguido a los israelitas hasta el mar. Ni uno solo de ellos sobrevivió.
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 Pero los israelitas habían caminado por el mar en tierra seca, con muros de agua a su 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 El Señor salvó a los israelitas de la amenaza de los egipcios. Y los israelitas vieron a los egipcios muertos en la orilla.
30 Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 Cuandovieron el gran poder que el Señor había usado contra los egipcios, los israelitas se quedaron asombrados del Señor y confiaron 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?
