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!«

And the Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.

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

And God spoke to Moses and said to him, 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.

And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.

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

And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they lived as strangers.

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

And I listened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.

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;

Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgement.

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;

And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny 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 concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: 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.

And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they listened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.

10 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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

Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel 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?«

And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel listened not to me, and how shall Pharao listen to me? and I am not eloquent.

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

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how shall Pharao listen to me?
