Exodus 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	JERUSALEM
1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.	1 Alors Moïse et les Israélites chantèrent pour Yahvé le chant que voici: "Je chante pour Yahvé car ils'est couvert de gloire, il a jeté à la mer cheval et cavalier.
2 The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.	2 Yah est ma force et mon chant, à lui je dois mon salut. Il est mon Dieu, je le célèbre, le Dieu de monpère et je l'exalte.
3 The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.	3 Yahvé est un guerrier, son nom est Yahvé.
4 The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.	4 Les chars de Pharaon et son armée, il les a jetés à la mer, l'élite de ses officiers, la mer des Roseauxl'a engloutie.
5 The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.	5 Les abîmes les recouvrent, ils ont coulé au fond du gouffre comme une pierre.
6 Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.	6 Ta droite, Yahvé, s'illustre par sa force, ta droite, Yahvé, taille en pièces l'ennemi.
7 And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.	7 Par l'excès de ta majesté, tu renverses tes adversaires, tu déchaînes ta colère, elle les dévore commedu chaume.
8 And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.	8 Au souffle de tes narines, les eaux s'amoncelèrent, les flots se dressèrent comme une digue, lesabîmes se figèrent au coeur de la mer.
9 The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’	9 L'ennemi s'était dit: Je poursuivrai, j'atteindrai, je partagerai le butin, mon âme s'en gorgera, jedégainerai mon épée, ma main les supprimera.
10 Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.	10 Tu soufflas de ton haleine, la mer les recouvrit, ils s'enfoncèrent comme du plomb dans les eauxformidables.
11 Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?	11 Qui est comme toi parmi les dieux, Yahvé? Qui est comme toi illustre en sainteté, redoutable enexploits, artisan de merveilles?
12 You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.	12 Tu étendis ta droite, la terre les engloutit.
13 In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.	13 Ta grâce a conduit ce peuple que tu as racheté, ta force l'a guidé vers ta sainte demeure.
14 Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.	14 Les peuples ont entendu, ils frémissent, des douleurs poignent les habitants de Philistie.
15 Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.	15 Alors sont bouleversés les chefs d'Edom, les princes de Moab, la terreur s'en empare, ils titubent,tous ceux qui habitent Canaan.
16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.	16 Sur eux s'abattent terreur et crainte, la puissance de ton bras les laisse pétrifiés, tant que passe tonpeuple, Yahvé, tant que passe ce peuple que tu t'es acheté.
17 You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.	17 Tu les amèneras et tu les planteras sur la montagne de ton héritage, lieu dont tu fis, Yahvé, tarésidence, sanctuaire, Seigneur, qu'ont préparé tes mains.
18 The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.	18 Yahvé régnera pour toujours et à jamais."
19 For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”	19 Car lorsque la cavalerie de Pharaon avec ses chars et ses cavaliers était entrée dans la mer, Yahvéavait fait refluer sur eux les eaux de la mer, alors que les Israélites avaient marché à pied sec au milieu de la mer.
20 And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.	20 Miryam, la prophétesse, soeur d'Aaron, prit en main un tambourin et toutes les femmes la suivirentavec des tambourins, formant des choeurs de danses.
21 And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”	21 Et Miryam leur entonna: "Chantez pour Yahvé, car il s'est couvert de gloire, il a jeté à la mercheval et cavalier."
22 Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.	22 Moïse fit partir Israël de la mer des Roseaux. Ils se dirigèrent vers le désert de Shur et marchèrenttrois jours dans le désert sans trouver d'eau.
23 And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.	23 Mais quand ils arrivèrent à Mara ils ne purent boire l'eau de Mara, car elle était amère, c'estpourquoi on l'a appelé Mara.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”	24 Le peuple murmura contre Moïse en disant: "Qu'allons-nous boire?"
25 So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,	25 Moïse cria vers Yahvé, et Yahvé lui montra un morceau de bois. Moïse le jeta dans l'eau, et l'eaudevint douce. C'est là qu'il leur fixa un statut et un droit; c'est là qu'il les mit à l'épreuve.
26 saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”	26 Puis il dit: "Si tu écoutes bien la voix de Yahvé ton Dieu et fais ce qui est droit à ses yeux, si tuprêtes l'oreille à ses commandements et observes toutes ses lois, tous les maux que j'ai infligés à l'Egypte, je nete les infligerai pas, car je suis Yahvé, celui qui te guérit."
27 Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.	27 Ils arrivèrent ensuite à Elim où se trouvent douze sources et 70 palmiers, et ils y campèrent au bordde l'eau.
