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: Let them turn and encamp over against Phihahiroth which is between Magdal and the sea over against Beelsephon: you shall encamp before it upon 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 of the children of Israel: They are straitened in the land, the desert hath 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 shall harden his heart, and he will pursue you: and I shall be glorified in Pharao, and in all his army: and 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 told the king of the Egyptians that the people was fled: and the heart of Pharao and of his servants was changed with regard to the people, and they said: What meant we to do, that we let Israel go from serving us?
6 Saa lod han spænde for sin Vogn og tog sit Folk med sig.
So he made ready his chariot, and took all his people with him.
7 Og han tog seks Hundrede udvalgte Vogne og alle Vogne i Ægypten og Høvedsmændene over dem alle.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots that were in Egypt: and the captains of the whole army.
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 he pursued the children of Israel: but they were gone forth in a mighty 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 when the Egyptians followed the steps of them who were gone before, they found them encamped at the sea side: all Pharao’s horse and chariots, and the whole army were in Phihahiroth before Beelsephon.
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 when Pharao drew near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them: and they feared exceedingly, and 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 they said to Moses: Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt, therefore thou hast brought us to die in the wilderness: why wouldst thou do this, to lead 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 that we spoke to thee in Egypt, saying: Depart from us that we may serve the Egyptians? for it was much better to serve them, than to die in the 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: Fear not: stand and see the great wonders of the Lord, which he will do this day: for the Egyptians, whom you see now, you shall see no more for ever.
14 Herren skal stride for eder, og I, I skulle tie.
The Lord will fight for you, and you 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 to go forward.
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.
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand over the sea, and divide it: that the children of Israel may go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
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 I will harden the heart of the Egyptians to pursue you: and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen.
18 Og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg har forherliget mig paa Farao, paa hans Vogne og paa hans Ryttere.
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall be glorified in Pharao, and in his chariots and in his horsemen.
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, who went before the camp of Israel, removing, went behind them: and together with him the pillar of the cloud, leaving the forepart,
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.
Stood behind, between the Egyptians’ camp and the camp of Israel: and it was a dark cloud, and enlightening the night, so that they could not come at one another all the 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 when Moses had stretched forth his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by a strong and burning wind blowing all the night, and turned it into dry ground: 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 in through the midst of the sea dried up: for the water was as a wall on their right hand and on their 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 pursuing went in after them, and all Pharao’s horses, his chariots and horsemen through 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 now the morning watch was come, and behold the Lord looking upon the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, slew their host.
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 overthrew the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. And the Egyptians said: Let us flee from Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against us.
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 they hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and horsemen.
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 when Moses had stretched forth his hand towards the sea, it returned at the first break of day to the former place: and as the Egyptians were fleeing away, the waters came upon them, and the Lord shut them up in the middle of the waves.
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 waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the army of Pharao, who had come into the sea after them, neither did there so much as one of them remain.
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 marched through the midst of the sea upon dry land, and the waters were to them as a wall on the right hand and on the left:
30 Saa frelste Herren Israel den samme Dag af Ægypternes Haand, og Israel saa Ægypterne ligge døde ved Havets Bred.
And the Lord delivered Israel on that day out of the hands of the Egyptians.
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 they saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore, and the mighty hand that the Lord had used against them: and the people feared the Lord, and they believed the Lord, and Moses his servant.
