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!«

Then said the Lord unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand shall he send them away, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

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

And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto 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 unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God, the Almighty, but by my name The Eternal was I not made 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,

And as I did also establish my covenant with them, to give unto them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they sojourned:

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

So have I also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians compel to labor; 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 say unto the children of Israel, I am the Eternal, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will release you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

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 for a people, and I will be to you for a God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens 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 in unto the land, concerning which I did lift up my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: 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 unto the children of Israel; but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

Go in, speak unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, that he shall let the children of Israel 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?«

And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me: how then shall Pharaoh hear me, whereas I am of uncircumcised lips?

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 unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

29 talede HERREN til Moses saaledes: »Jeg er HERREN! Forkynd Farao, Ægyptens Konge, alt, hvad jeg siger dig!«

Then spoke the Lord unto Moses, saying, I am the Lord; speak thou unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee.

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

And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
