2 Mosebog 14
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Tal til Israels Børn, at de drage om og lejre sig for Pi-Hakiroth, imellem Migdol og Havet, tvært over for Baal-Zefon, ret for den skulle I lejre eder ved Havet.
Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shalt thou encamp by the sea.
3 Thi Farao skal sige om Israels Børn: De ere farne vild i Landet, Ørken har lukket for dem.
And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
4 Og jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte, at han skal forfølge dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig paa Farao og paa al hans Hær, og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren; og de gjorde saa.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 Og det blev Kongen af Ægypten tilkendegivet, at Folket flyede; da omvendtes Faraos og hans Tjeneres Hjerte imod Folket, og de sagde: Hvi gjorde vi dette, at vi lode Israel fare, at de ikke skulde tjene os?
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
6 Saa lod han spænde for sin Vogn og tog sit Folk med sig.
So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
7 Og han tog seks Hundrede udvalgte Vogne og alle Vogne i Ægypten og Høvedsmændene over dem alle.
having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
8 Thi Herren forhærdede Ægyptens Konge Faraos Hjerte, saa at han forfulgte Israels Børn; men Israels Børn vare uddragne ved en høj Haand.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
9 Saa forfulgte Ægypterne dem og naaede dem, da de havde lejret sig ved Havet, alle Faraos Vognheste og hans Ryttere og hans Hær, ved Pi-Hakiroth, tvært over for Baal-Zefon.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
10 Og Farao nærmede sig; og Israels Børn opløftede deres Øjne, og se, Ægypterne droge efter dem; da frygtede de saare, og Israels Børn raabte til Herren.
And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, beheld, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
11 Og de sagde til Mose: Mon der ikke var Grave i Ægypten, siden du tog os ud til at dø i Ørken? hvi gjorde du os dette, at du førte os ud af Ægypten?
and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, hast thou brought us forth to slay [us] in the wilderness? What is this that thou hast done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
12 Er det ej det Ord, som vi talede til dig i Ægypten, sigende: Lad af fra os, vi ville tjene Ægypterne; thi det er os bedre at tjene Ægypterne end at dø i Ørken.
Is not this the word which we spoke to thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
13 Da sagde Mose til Folket: Frygter ikke, bliver staaende og ser Herrens Frelse, som han skal vise eder i Dag; thi disse Ægyptere, som I se i Dag, dem skulle I ikke i al Evighed se mere herefter.
And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 Herren skal stride for eder, og I, I skulle tie.
The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hvi vil du raabe til mig? sig til Israels Børn, at de skulle drage frem;
and the Lord said to Moses, Why criest thou to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
16 og opløft du din Stav og udræk din Haand over Havet og skil det ad, og Israels Børn skulle gaa midt igennem Havet paa det tørre.
And do thou lift up thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
17 Og jeg, se, jeg vil forhærde Ægypternes Hjerte, at de skulle forfølge eder; saa vil jeg forherlige mig paa Farao og paa al hans Hær, paa hans Vogne og paa hans Ryttere.
And lo! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
18 Og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg har forherliget mig paa Farao, paa hans Vogne og paa hans Ryttere.
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
19 Da drog den Guds Engel, som gik foran Israels Hær, af Sted og drog bag dem; og Skystøtten drog fra deres Ansigt og stod bag dem.
And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
20 Og den kom imellem Ægypternes Hær og imellem Israels Hær, og den var Sky og Mørke [for hine], men oplyste Natten [for disse]; og den ene kom ikke til den anden den ganske Nat.
And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
21 Og Mose udstrakte sin Haand over Havet, og Herren lod Havet fare bort ved et stærkt Østenvejr den ganske Nat og gjorde Havet som det tørre; og Vandene skiltes ad.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
22 Og Israels Børn gik midt igennem Havet paa det tørre; og Vandet var dem en Mur paa deres højre og paa deres venstre Side.
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
23 Og Ægypterne forfulgte dem og droge efter dem, alle Faraos Heste, hans Vogne og hans Ryttere, til midt i Havet.
And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
24 Og det skete, der Morgenvagten kom, da saa Herren i Ildens og Skyens Støtte til Ægypternes Hær og forfærdede Ægypternes Hær.
And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
25 Og han stødte Hjulene af deres Vogne og lod dem rykke frem med Besvær; da sagde Ægypterne: Jeg maa fly for Israel; thi Herren strider for dem imod Ægypterne.
and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
26 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Udræk din Haand over Havet, og Vandene skulle falde tilbage over Ægypterne, over deres Vogne og over deres Ryttere.
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
27 Saa rakte Mose sin Haand over Havet, og Havet kom igen mod Morgenen i sit sædvanlige Leje, og Ægypterne flyede imod det; saa styrtede Herren Ægypterne midt i Havet.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 Og Vandet kom igen og skjulte i hele Faraos Hær Vogne og Ryttere, som vare komne efter dem i Havet; der blev end ikke een tilovers af dem.
and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
29 Men Israels Børn vare gangne paa det tørre midt igennem Havet, og Vandet havde været dem en Mur paa deres højre og paa deres venstre Side.
But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
30 Saa frelste Herren Israel den samme Dag af Ægypternes Haand, og Israel saa Ægypterne ligge døde ved Havets Bred.
So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
31 Og Israel saa den store Magt, som Herren havde bevist paa Ægypterne, og Folket frygtede Herren; og de troede paa Herren og paa Mose, hans Tjener.
And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
