2 Mosebog 6

1 Men HERREN svarede Moses: "Nu skal du få 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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. You will see this, for he will let them go because of my strong hand. Because of my strong hand, he will drive them out of his land.”

2 Gud talede til Moses og sagde til ham: "Jer er HERREN!

God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am Yahweh.

3 For Abraham, Isak og Jakob åbenbarede 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, Yahweh, I was not 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, in order to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as non-citizens, the land in which they wandered about.

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

Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have called to mind my covenant.

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

Therefore, say to the Israelites, 'I am Yahweh. I will bring you out from slavery under the Egyptians, and I will free you from their power. I will rescue you with a display of my power, and with mighty acts of judgment.

7 og så 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 to myself as my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from slavery under 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!"

I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am Yahweh.'”

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

When Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to him because of their discouragement about their harsh slavery.

10 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

“Go tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to let the people of Israel go from his land.”

12 Men Moses sagde for HERRENs Åsyn: "Israeliterne har ikke hørt på mig, hvor skulde da Farao gøre det, tilmed da jeg er uomskåren på Læberne?"

Moses said to Yahweh, “If the Israelites have not listened to me, why will Pharaoh listen to me, since I am not good at speaking?”

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

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He gave them a command for the Israelites and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

But Moses said to Yahweh, “I am not good at speaking, so why will Pharaoh listen to me?”
