Exodus, chapter 15, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 15 Vulgate

   1 Tunc cecinit Moyses et filii Israel carmen hoc Domino, et dixerunt: "Cantemus Domino, gloriose enim magnificatus est: equum et ascensorem eius deiecit in mare!
   2 Fortitudo mea et robur meum Dominus, et factus est mihi in salutem. Iste Deus meus, et glorificabo eum; Deus patris mei, et exaltabo eum!
   3 Dominus quasi vir pugnator; Dominus nomen eius!
   4 Currus pharaonis et exercitum eius proiecit in mare; electi bellatores eius submersi sunt in mari Rubro.
   5 Abyssi operuerunt eos, descenderunt in profundum quasi lapis.
   6 Dextera tua, Domine, magnifice in fortitudine, dextera tua, Domine, percussit inimicum.
   7 Et in multitudine gloriae tuae deposuisti adversarios tuos; misisti iram tuam, quae devoravit eos sicut stipulam.
   8 Et in spiritu furoris tui congregatae sunt aquae; stetit ut agger unda fluens, coagulatae sunt abyssi in medio mari.
   9 Dixit inimicus: "Persequar, comprehendam, dividam spolia, implebitur anima mea; evaginabo gladium meum, interficiet eos manus mea!".
   10 Flavit spiritus tuus, et operuit eos mare; submersi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis vehementibus.
   11 Quis similis tui in diis, Domine? Quis similis tui, magnificus in sanctitate, terribilis atque laudabilis, faciens mirabilia?
   12 Extendisti manum tuam, devoravit eos terra.
   13 Dux fuisti in misericordia tua populo, quem redemisti, et portasti eum in fortitudine tua ad habitaculum sanctum tuum.
   14 Attenderunt populi et commoti sunt, dolores obtinuerunt habitatores Philisthaeae.
   15 Tunc conturbati sunt principes Edom, potentes Moab obtinuit tremor, obriguerunt omnes habitatores Chanaan.
   16 Irruit super eos formido et pavor; in magnitudine brachii tui fiunt immobiles quasi lapis, donec pertranseat populus tuus, Domine, donec pertranseat populus tuus iste, quem possedisti.
   17 Introduces eos et plantabis in monte hereditatis tuae, firmissimo habitaculo tuo, quod operatus es, Domine, sanctuario, Domine, quod firmaverunt manus tuae.
   18 Dominus regnabit in aeternum et ultra!"
   19 Ingressi sunt enim equi pharaonis cum curribus et equitibus eius in mare, et reduxit super eos Dominus aquas maris; filii autem Israel ambu laverunt per siccum in medio eius.
   20 Sumpsit ergo Maria prophetissa soror Aaron tympanum in manu sua; egressaeque sunt omnes mulieres post eam cum tympanis et choris,
   21 quibus praecinebat dicens: "Cantemus Domino, gloriose enim magnificatus est: equum et ascensorem eius deiecit in mare!"
   22 Tulit autem Moyses Israel de mari Rubro, et egressi sunt in desertum Sur; ambulaveruntque tribus diebus per solitudinem et non inveniebant aquam.
   23 Et venerunt in Mara nec poterant bibere aquas de Mara, eo quod essent amarae; unde vocatum est nomen eius Mara (id est Amaritudo).
   24 Et murmuravit populus contra Moysen dicens: "Quid bibemus?"
   25 At ille clamavit ad Dominum, qui ostendit ei lignum; quod cum misisset in aquas, in dulcedinem versae sunt. Ibi constituit ei praecepta atque iudicia et ibi tentavit eum
   26 dicens: "Si audieris vocem Domini Dei tui et, quod rectum est coram eo, feceris et oboedieris mandatis eius custodierisque omnia praecepta illius, cunctum languorem, quem posui in Aegypto, non inducam super te: Ego enim Dominus sanator tuus"
   27 Venerunt autem in Elim, ubi erant duodecim fontes aquarum et septuaginta palmae; et castrametati sunt iuxta aquas.

King James Version

   1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
   2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
   3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
   4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
   5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
   6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
   7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
   8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
   9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
   10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
   11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
   12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
   13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
   14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
   15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
   16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
   17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
   18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
   19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
   20 ¶ And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
   21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
   22 So Moses brought Israel 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 ¶ And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
   24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
   25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
   26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
   27 ¶ And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
