2 Mosebog 14
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Then Yahweh 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.
“Say to the Israelites that they should turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You are to camp by the sea opposite Pi Hahiroth.
3 Thi Farao skal sige om Israels Børn: De ere farne vild i Landet, Ørken har lukket for dem.
Pharaoh will say about the Israelites, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
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.
I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army. The Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” So the Israelites camped as they were instructed.
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?
When the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had fled, the minds of Pharaoh and his servants turned against the people. They said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
6 Saa lod han spænde for sin Vogn og tog sit Folk med sig.
Then Pharaoh got his chariots ready and took his army with him.
7 Og han tog seks Hundrede udvalgte Vogne og alle Vogne i Ægypten og Høvedsmændene over dem alle.
He took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers on all of them.
8 Thi Herren forhærdede Ægyptens Konge Faraos Hjerte, saa at han forfulgte Israels Børn; men Israels Børn vare uddragne ved en høj Haand.
Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and the king pursued the Israelites. Now the Israelites had gone away in triumph.
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.
But the Egyptians pursued them, together with all his horses and chariots, his horsemen, and his army. They overtook the Israelites camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
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.
When Pharaoh came close, the Israelites looked up and were surprised. The Egyptians were marching after them, and they were terrified. The Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
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?
They said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us like this, bringing 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 this not what we told you in Egypt? We said to you, 'Leave us alone, so we can work for the Egyptians.' It would have been better for us to work for 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.
Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the rescue that Yahweh will provide for you today. For you will never see again the Egyptians whom you see today.
14 Herren skal stride for eder, og I, I skulle tie.
Yahweh will fight for you, and you will only have to stand still.”
15 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hvi vil du raabe til mig? sig til Israels Børn, at de skulle drage frem;
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Why are you, Moses, continuing to call out to me? Tell the Israelites 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.
Lift up your staff, reach out with your hand over the sea and divide it in two, so that the people of Israel may go through 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.
Be aware that I will harden the Egyptians' hearts so they will go after them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots, and 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.
Then the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten honor because of Pharaoh, his chariots, and 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.
The angel of God, who went before the Israelites, moved and went behind them. The pillar of cloud moved from before them and went to stand 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.
The cloud came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. It was a dark cloud to the Egyptians, but it lit the night for the Israelites, so one side did not come near the other all 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.
Moses reached out with his hand over the sea. Yahweh drove the sea back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea into dry land. In this way the waters were 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.
The Israelites went into the middle of the sea on dry ground. The waters formed a wall for them 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.
The Egyptians pursued them. They went after them into the middle of the sea—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen.
24 Og det skete, der Morgenvagten kom, da saa Herren i Ildens og Skyens Støtte til Ægypternes Hær og forfærdede Ægypternes Hær.
But in the early morning hours, Yahweh looked down on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and cloud. He caused panic among 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.
Their chariot wheels were clogged, and the horsemen drove with difficulty. So the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel, for Yahweh is fighting 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back onto the Egyptians, their chariots, and their 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.
So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and it returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. The Egyptians fled into the sea, and Yahweh drove the Egyptians into the middle of it.
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.
The waters came back and covered Pharaoh's chariots, horsemen, and his entire army that had followed the chariots into the sea. No one survived.
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.
However, the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Saa frelste Herren Israel den samme Dag af Ægypternes Haand, og Israel saa Ægypterne ligge døde ved Havets Bred.
So Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw dead Egyptians on the seashore.
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.
When Israel saw the great power that Yahweh used against the Egyptians, the people honored Yahweh, and they trusted in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
