And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.

Und hast das Meer vor ihnen zerrissen, daß sie mitten im Meer trocken hindurchgingen, und ihre Verfolger in die Tiefe geworfen wie Steine in mächtige Wasser
Y dividiste la mar delante de ellos y pasaron por medio de ella en seco; y a sus perseguidores echaste en los profundos, como una piedra en grandes aguas.
Dividiste el mar delante de ellos y cruzaron por en medio del mar sobre tierra seca. Arrojaste a sus perseguidores a las profundidades, como una piedra en aguas poderosas.
Tu fendis la mer devant eux, et ils passèrent à sec au milieu de la mer; mais tu précipitas dans l'abîme, comme une pierre au fond des eaux, ceux qui marchaient à leur poursuite.
E fendesti il mare davanti a loro, talchè passarono per mezzo il mare per l’asciutto; e gittasti a fondo coloro che li perseguitavano, come una pietra in acque forti.
E o mar fendeste perante eles, e passaram pelo meio do mar, em seco; e lançaste os seus perseguidores nas profundezas, como uma pedra nas águas violentas.
你在我們祖先面前把海分開,使他們走過海中乾地,將追趕他們的人拋在深海,如石頭拋在大水中。
