2 Mosebog 6

1 Men HERREN svarede Moses: »Nu skal du faa at se, hvad jeg vil gøre ved Farao! Med Magt skal han blive tvunget til at lade dem rejse, og med Magt skal han blive tvunget til at drive dem ud af sit Land!«

But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

2 Gud talede til Moses og sagde til ham: »Jeg er HERREN!

God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.

3 For Abraham, Isak og Jakob aabenbarede jeg mig som Gud den Almægtige, men under mit Navn HERREN gav jeg mig ikke til Kende for dem.

I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.

4 Eftersom jeg har oprettet min Pagt med dem om at skænke dem Kana'ans Land, deres Udlændigheds Land, hvor de levede som fremmede,

I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.

5 har jeg nu hørt Israeliternes Klageraab over, at Ægypterne holder dem i Trældom, og jeg er kommet min Pagt i Hu.

Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.

6 Derfor skal du sige til Israeliterne: Jeg er HERREN, og jeg vil udfri eder fra det Trællearbejde, Ægypterne har paalagt eder, og frelse eder fra deres Trældom og udløse eder med udrakt Arm og med vældige Straffedomme;

Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

7 og saa vil jeg antage eder som mit Folk og være eders Gud, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som udfrier eder fra Ægypternes Trællearbejde;

I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

8 og jeg vil føre eder til det Land, jeg har svoret at ville skænke Abraham, Isak og Jakob, og give eder det i Eje. Jeg er HERREN!«

And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”

9 Moses kundgjorde nu dette for Israeliterne; men de hørte ikke paa Moses, dertil var deres Modløshed for stor og deres Trællearbejde for haardt.

Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

10 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

So the LORD said to Moses,

11 »Gaa hen og sig til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, at han skal lade Israeliterne drage ud af, sit Land!«

“Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”

12 Men Moses sagde for HERRENS Aasyn: »Israeliterne har ikke hørt paa mig, hvor skulde da Farao gøre det, tilmed da jeg er uomskaaren paa Læberne?«

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”

13 Da talede HERREN til Moses og Aron og sendte dem til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, for at føre Israeliterne ud af Ægypten.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

30 Men Moses sagde for HERRENS Aasyn: »Se, jeg er uomskaaren paa Læberne, hvorledes skulde da Farao ville høre paa mig?«

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
