2 Mosebog 14
1 Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 »Sig til Israeliterne, at de skal vende om og lejre sig ved Pi-Hakirot mellem Migdol og Havet; lige over for Ba'al-Zefon skal I lejre eder ved Havet.
Speake to the children of Israel, that they returne and campe before Pi-hahiroth, betweene Migdol and the Sea, ouer against Baal-zephon: about it shall ye campe by the Sea.
3 Farao vil da tænke om Israeliterne, at de er faret vild i Landet, og at Ørkenen har sluttet dem inde;
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
4 og jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte, saa han sætter efter dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig paa Farao og hele hans Krigsmagt, og Ægypterne skal kende, at jeg er HERREN!« Og de gjorde saaledes.
And I will harden Pharaohs heart that hee shall follow after you: so I will get mee honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his hoste: the Egyptians also shall knowe that I am the Lord: and they did so.
5 Da det nu meldtes Ægypterkongen, at Folket var flygtet, skiftede Farao og hans Tjenere Sind over for Folket og sagde: »Hvor kunde vi dog slippe Israeliterne af vor Tjeneste!«
Then it was told the King of Egypt, that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his seruants was turned against the people, and they sayde, Why haue we this done, and haue let Israel go out of our seruice?
6 Da lod han spænde for sin Vogn og tog sine Krigsfolk med sig;
And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
7 han tog 600 udsøgte Stridsvogne og alle Ægyptens Krigsvogne, alle bemandede med Vognkæmpere.
And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
8 Og HERREN forhærdede Ægypterkongen Faraos Hjerte, saa han satte efter Israeliterne; men Israeliterne var draget ud under en stærk Haands Værn.
(For the Lord had hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he followed after the children of Israel: but the children of Israel went out with an hie hand)
9 Og Ægypterne, alle Faraos Heste og Vogne og hans Ryttere og øvrige Krigsfolk, satte efter dem og indhentede dem, da de havde slaaet Lejr ved Havet, ved Pi-Hakirot over for Ba'al-Zefon.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and all the horses and charets of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his hoste ouertooke them camping by the Sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 Da nu Farao nærmede sig, saa Israeliterne op og fik Øje paa Ægypterne, der drog efter dem, og de grebes af stor Angst; da raabte Israeliterne til HERREN;
And when Pharaoh drew nie, the children of Israel lift vp their eyes, and beholde, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were sore afrayde: wherefore the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord.
11 og de sagde til Moses: »Er det, fordi der ingen Grave var i Ægypten, at du har faaet os ud for at dø i Ørkenen? Hvad er det dog, du har gjort os, at du førte os ud af Ægypten?
And they sayde vnto Moses, Hast thou brought vs to die in the wildernes, because there were no graues in Egypt? wherefore hast thou serued vs thus, to carie vs out of Egypt?
12 Var det ikke det, vi sagde til dig i Ægypten: Lad os i Fred, og lad os blive ved at trælle for Ægypterne! Thi det er bedre for os at trælle for Ægypterne end at dø i Ørkenen.«
Did not wee tell thee this thing in Egypt, saying, Let vs be in rest, that we may serue the Egyptians? for it had bene better for vs to serue the Egyptians, then that wee shoulde dye in the wildernesse.
13 Men Moses svarede Folket: »Frygt ikke! Hold blot Stand, saa skal I se HERRENS Frelse, som han i Dag vil hjælpe eder til, thi som I ser Ægypterne i Dag, skal I aldrig i Evighed se dem mere.
Then Moses sayde to the people, Feare ye not, stand still, and beholde the saluation of the Lord which he will shew to you this day. For the Egyptians, whome ye haue seene this day, ye shall neuer see them againe.
14 HERREN skal stride for eder, men I skal tie!«
The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
15 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Hvorfor raaber du til mig? Sig til Israeliterne, at de skal bryde op!
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
16 Løft din Stav og ræk din Haand ud over Havet og skil det ad i to Dele, saa Israeliterne kan vandre gennem Havet paa tør Bund.
And lift thou vp thy rod, and stretche out thine hand vpon the Sea and deuide it, and let the children of Israel goe on drie ground thorow the middes of the Sea.
17 Se, jeg vil forhærde Ægypternes Hjerte, saa de følger efter dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig paa Farao og hele hans Krigsmagt, paa hans Vogne og Ryttere,
And I, beholde, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, that they may follow them, and I wil get me honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his host, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
18 og Ægypterne skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg forherliger mig paa Farao, hans Vogne og Ryttere.«
Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue gotten me honour vpon Pharaoh, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
19 Guds Engel, der drog foran Israels Hær, flyttede sig nu og gik bag ved dem; og Skystøtten flyttede sig fra Pladsen foran dem og stillede sig bag ved dem
(And the Angel of God, which went before the hoste of Israel, remoued and went behinde them: also the pillar of the cloude went from before them, and stoode behinde them,
20 og kom til at staa imellem Ægypternes og Israels Hære; og da det blev mørkt; blev Skystøtten til en Ildstøtte og oplyste Natten. Saaledes kom de ikke hinanden nær hele Natten.
And came betweene the campe of the Egyptians and the campe of Israel: it was both a cloude and darkenes, yet gaue it light by night, so that all the night long the one came not at the other)
21 Moses rakte da sin Haand ud over Havet, og HERREN drev Havet bort med en stærk Østenstorm, der blæste hele Natten, og han gjorde Havet til tørt Land. Og Vandet delte sig.
And Moses stretched forth his hande vpon the Sea, and the Lord caused the sea to runne backe by a strong East winde all the night, and made the Sea dry land: for the waters were deuided.
22 Da gik Israeliterne midt igennem Havet paa tør Bund, medens Vandet stod som en Mur paa begge Sider af dem.
Then the children of Israel went through the middes of the Sea vpon the drie ground, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hand, and on their left hand.
23 Og Ægypterne, alle Faraos Heste, Vogne og Ryttere, satte efter dem og forfulgte dem midt ud i Havet.
And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
24 Men ved Morgenvagtens Tid skuede HERREN fra Ild og Skystøtten hen imod Ægypternes Hær og bragte den i Uorden;
Nowe in the morning watche, when the Lord looked vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, out of the firie and cloudie pillar, he strooke the host of the Egyptians with feare.
25 og han stoppede Vognenes Hjul, saa de havde ondt ved at faa dem frem. Da sagde Ægypterne: »Lad os flygte for Israel, thi HERREN kæmper for dem imod Ægypten!«
For he tooke off their charet wheeles, and they draue them with much a doe: so that the Egyptians euery one sayd, I wil flee from the face of Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 Men HERREN sagde til Moses: »Ræk din Haand ud over Havet, saa skal Vandet vende tilbage over Ægypterne, deres Vogne og Ryttere!«
Then the Lord sayde to Moses, Stretche thine hand vpon the Sea, that the waters may returne vpon the Egyptians, vpon their charets and vpon their horsemen.
27 Da rakte Moses sin Haand ud over Havet; og Havet vendte tilbage til sit sædvanlige Leje ved Morgenens Frembrud, medens de flygtende Ægyptere kom lige imod det, og HERREN drev Ægypterne midt ud i Havet.
Then Moses stretched forth his hand vpon the Sea, and the Sea returned to his force early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it: but the Lord ouerthrew the Egyptians in the mids of the Sea.
28 Da vendte Vandet tilbage og overskyllede Vognene og Rytterne i hele Faraos Krigsmagt, som havde forfulgt dem ud i Havet; ikke en eneste af dem blev tilbage.
So the water returned and couered the charets and the horsemen, euen all the hoste of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them: there remained not one of them.
29 Men Israeliterne var gaaet gennem Havet paa tør Bund, medens Vandet stod som en Mur paa begge Sider af dem.
But the children of Israel walked vpon dry land thorowe the middes of the Sea, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hande, and on their left.
30 Og HERREN frelste paa den Dag Israel af Ægypternes Haand, og Israel saa Ægypterne ligge døde ved Havets Bred.
Thus the Lord saued Israel the same day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the Sea banke.
31 Da saa Israel den Stordaad, HERREN havde udført mod Ægypterne; og Folket frygtede HERREN, og de troede paa HERREN og paa hans Tjener Moses.
And Israel saw the mightie power, which the Lord shewed vpon the Egyptians: so the people feared the Lord, and beleeued the Lord, and his seruant Moses.
