2 Mosebog 15
1 Da sang Mose og Israels Børn denne Sang for Herren og sagde: Jeg vil synge for Herren; thi han er højt ophøjet; Hesten og den, som red derpaa, har han nedstyrtet i Havet.
Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
2 Herren er min Styrke og Lovsang, og han blev mig til Frelse; denne er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min Faders Gud, og jeg vil ophøje ham.
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
3 Herren er en Krigsmand, „Herre‟ er hans Navn.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 Han kastede Faraos Vogne og hans Hær i Havet, og hans udvalgte Høvedsmænd bleve druknede i det røde Hav.
He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
5 Afgrundene skjulte dem; de sank ned i de dybe Vande som en Sten.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Herre! din højre Haand har vist sig at være herlig med Styrke; Herre! du knuser Fjenden med din højre Haand.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 Og du nedstøder dine Modstandere med din store Højhed; du udsender din Vrede, den fortærer dem som Straa.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 Og ved din Vredes Vejr ophobedes Vandene, Strømmene stode som en Dynge; Bølgerne stivnede midt i Havet.
You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
9 Fjenden sagde: Jeg vil forfølge, gribe, dele Rovet; min Sjæl skal stille sin Lyst paa dem, jeg vil uddrage mit Sværd, min Haand skal udrydde dem.
[Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
10 Du blæste med dit Vejr, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de mægtige Vande.
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 Hvo er som du iblandt Guderne, Herre? hvo er som du, herlig bevist i Hellighed, forfærdelig at berømme, underfuld i Gerning!
Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
12 Du udrakte din højre Haand, Jorden opslugte dem.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 Du har ved din Miskundhed ført dette Folk, som du har genløst; du ledsagede dem med din Kraft til din Helligheds Bolig.
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Folkene hørte det, de bævede; Angest betog dem, som bo i Palæstina.
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 Da forfærdedes Edoms Fyrster, Bæven betog de vældige i Moab, alle Indbyggere i Kanaan bleve mistrøstige.
The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
16 Forfærdelse og Frygt skal falde over dem, ved din Arms Magt skulle de blive tavse som en Sten, indtil dit Folk, Herre! kommer over, til det Folk kommer over, som du har forhvervet.
They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
17 Du skal føre dem ind og plante dem paa din Arvs Bjerg; du har gjort en Bolig, hvori du vil bo, o Herre! en Helligdom, Herre! har dine Hænder beredt.
to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
18 Herren skal regere evindelig og altid.
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 Thi Faraos Heste droge ind med hans Vogne og hans Ryttere i Havet, og Herren lod Havets Vande komme tilbage over dem; men Israels Børn gik paa det tørre midt igennem Havet.
The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
20 Og Maria, den Profetinde, Arons Søster, tog en Pauke i sin Haand; og alle Kvinder gik ud efter hende med Pauker og Dans.
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
21 Og Maria svarede dem: Synger for Herren, thi han er højt ophøjet; Hesten og den, som red derpaa, har han nedstyrtet i Havet.
and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
22 Og Mose lod Israel drage frem fra det røde Hav, og de droge ud til den Ørk Sur, og de vandrede tre Dage i Ørkenen og fandt ikke Vand.
Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
23 Saa kom de til Mara; men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet i Mara, thi det var besk; derfor kaldte han dens Navn Mara.
So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 Da knurrede Folket imod Mose og sagde: Hvad skulle vi drikke?
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Saa raabte han til Herren, og Herren viste ham et Træ, og han kastede det i Vandet, og saa blev Vandet sødt. Der satte han dem Lov og Ret, og der forsøgte han dem.
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
26 Og han sagde: Om du flitteligen hører Herren din Guds Røst, og gør det, som Ret er for hans Øjne, og vender dine Øren til hans Bud og holder alle hans Befalinger, da vil jeg ikke lægge paa dig nogen af de Sygdomme, som jeg lagde paa Ægypterne; thi jeg er Herren, som læger dig.
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
27 Og de kom til Elim, og der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer; og der lejrede de sig ved Vandet.
[After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
