2 Mosebog 15

1 Ved den Lejlighed sang Moses og Israeliterne denne Sang for HERREN: Jeg vil synge for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han i Havet!

Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to Yahweh. They sang, “I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea.

2 HERREN er min Styrke og min Lovsang, og han blev mig til Frelse. Han er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min Faders Gud, og jeg vil ophøje ham.

Yahweh is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3 HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!

Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.

4 Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,

He has thrown Pharaoh's chariots and army into the sea. Pharaoh's chosen officers were drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

5 Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.

The depths covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.

6 Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.

Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power; your right hand, Yahweh, has shattered the enemy.

7 I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Strå.

In great majesty you overthrew those who rose up against you. You sent out your wrath; it consumed them like stubble.

8 Ved din Næses Pust dyngedes Vandene op, Vandene stod som en Vold, Strømmene stivnede midt i Havet.

By the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up; the flowing waters stood upright in a heap; the deep water was congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 Fjenden tænkte: "Jeg sætter efter dem, indhenter dem, uddeler Bytte, stiller mit Begær på dem; jeg drager mit Sværd, min Hånd skal udrydde dem."

The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will share out the plunder; my desire will be satisfied on them; I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.'

10 Du blæste med din Ånde, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.

But you blew with your wind, and the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordåd, underfuld i dine Gerninger!

Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, honored in praises, doing miracles?

12 Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.

You reached out with your right hand, and the earth swallowed them.

13 Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.

In your covenant loyalty you have led the people you have rescued. In your strength you have led them to the holy place where you live.

14 Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.

The peoples will hear, and they will tremble; terror will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.

Then the chiefs of Edom will fear; the soldiers of Moab will shake; all the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.

16 Skræk og Angst faldt over dem, ved din Arms Vælde blev de målløse som Sten, til dit Folk var nået frem, o HERRE, til Folket, du vandt dig, var nået frem.

Terror and dread will fall on them. Because of your arm's power, they will become as still as a stone until your people pass by, Yahweh— until the people you have rescued pass by.

17 du førte dem frem og planted dem i din Arvelods Bjerge, på det Sted du beredte dig til Bolig, HERRE, i den Helligdom, Herre, som dine Hænder grundfæsted.

You will bring them and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, that you have made to live in, the sanctuary, our Lord, that your hands have built.

18 HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!

Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”

19 Thi da Faraos Heste med hans Vogne og Ryttere drog ud i Havet, lod HERREN Havets Vande strømme tilbage over dem, medens Israeliterne gik gennem Havet på tør Bund.

For Pharaoh's horses went with his chariots and horsemen into the sea. Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them. But the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.

20 Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,

Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron, picked up a tambourine, and all the women went out with tambourines, dancing along with her.

21 og Mirjam sang for: Syng for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han i Havet!

Miriam sang to them: “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

22 Derpå lod Moses Israel bryde op fra det røde Hav, og de drog ud i Sjurs Ørken, og de vandrede tre Dage i Ørkenen uden at finde Vand.

Then Moses led Israel onward from the Sea of Reeds. They went out into the wilderness of Shur. They traveled for three days into the wilderness and found no water.

23 Så nåede de Mara, men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet for dets bitre Smag, thi det var bittert; derfor kaldte man Stedet Mara.

Then they came to Marah, but they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. So they called that place Marah.

24 Da knurrede Folket mod Moses og sagde: "Hvad skal vi drikke?"

So the people complained to Moses and said, “What can we drink?”

25 Men han råbte til HERREN, og da viste HERREN ham en bestemt Slags Træ; og da han kastede det i Vandet, blev Vandet drikkeligt. Der gav han dem Bestemmelser om Lov og Ret, og der satte han dem på Prøve.

Moses cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him a tree. Moses threw it into the water, and the water became sweet to drink. It was there that Yahweh gave them a strict law, and it was there that he tested them.

26 Og han sagde: "Hvis du vil høre på HERREN din Guds Røst og gøre, hvad der er ret i hans Øjne, og lytte til hans Bud og holde dig alle hans Bestemmelser efterrettelig, så vil jeg ikke bringe nogen af de Sygdomme over dig, som jeg bragte over Ægypterne, men jeg HERREN er din Læge!"

He said, “If you carefully listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and do what is right in his eyes, and if you give ear to his commands and obey all his laws—I will put on you none of the diseases that I put on the Egyptians, for I am Yahweh who heals you.”

27 Derpå kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.

Then the people came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They camped there by the water.
