Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Da sang Mose og Israels Børn denne Sang for Herren og sagde: Jeg vil synge for Herren; thi han er højt ophøjet; Hesten og den, som red derpaa, har han nedstyrtet i Havet.
2 Jehovah 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.
Herren er min Styrke og Lovsang, og han blev mig til Frelse; denne er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min Faders Gud, og jeg vil ophøje ham.
3 Jehovah is a man of war. Jehovah is his name.
Herren er en Krigsmand, „Herre‟ er hans Navn.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has cast into the sea, and his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Han kastede Faraos Vogne og hans Hær i Havet, og hans udvalgte Høvedsmænd bleve druknede i det røde Hav.
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Afgrundene skjulte dem; de sank ned i de dybe Vande som en Sten.
6 Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Herre! din højre Haand har vist sig at være herlig med Styrke; Herre! du knuser Fjenden med din højre Haand.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrow those who rise up against thee. Thou send forth thy wrath, it consumes them as stubble.
Og du nedstøder dine Modstandere med din store Højhed; du udsender din Vrede, den fortærer dem som Straa.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up. The floods stood up as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Og ved din Vredes Vejr ophobedes Vandene, Strømmene stode som en Dynge; Bølgerne stivnede midt i Havet.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall be satisfied upon them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Fjenden sagde: Jeg vil forfølge, gribe, dele Rovet; min Sjæl skal stille sin Lyst paa dem, jeg vil uddrage mit Sværd, min Haand skal udrydde dem.
10 Thou did blow with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Du blæste med dit Vejr, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de mægtige Vande.
11 Who is like thee, O Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Hvo er som du iblandt Guderne, Herre? hvo er som du, herlig bevist i Hellighed, forfærdelig at berømme, underfuld i Gerning!
12 Thou stretched out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Du udrakte din højre Haand, Jorden opslugte dem.
13 Thou in thy loving kindness have led the people that thou have redeemed. Thou have guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.
Du har ved din Miskundhed ført dette Folk, som du har genløst; du ledsagede dem med din Kraft til din Helligheds Bolig.
14 The peoples have heard, they tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hørte det, de bævede; Angest betog dem, som bo i Palæstina.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed, the mighty men of Moab. Trembling takes hold upon them. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Fyrster, Bæven betog de vældige i Moab, alle Indbyggere i Kanaan bleve mistrøstige.
16 Terror and dread falls upon them. By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, O Jehovah, till the people pass over whom thou have purchased.
Forfærdelse og Frygt skal falde over dem, ved din Arms Magt skulle de blive tavse som en Sten, indtil dit Folk, Herre! kommer over, til det Folk kommer over, som du har forhvervet.
17 Thou will bring them in, and plant them on the mountain of thine inheritance, the place, O Jehovah, which thou have made for thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
Du skal føre dem ind og plante dem paa din Arvs Bjerg; du har gjort en Bolig, hvori du vil bo, o Herre! en Helligdom, Herre! har dine Hænder beredt.
18 Jehovah shall reign forever and ever.
Herren skal regere evindelig og altid.
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Thi Faraos Heste droge ind med hans Vogne og hans Ryttere i Havet, og Herren lod Havets Vande komme tilbage over dem; men Israels Børn gik paa det tørre midt igennem Havet.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Og Maria, den Profetinde, Arons Søster, tog en Pauke i sin Haand; og alle Kvinder gik ud efter hende med Pauker og Dans.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Og Maria svarede dem: Synger for Herren, thi han er højt ophøjet; Hesten og den, som red derpaa, har han nedstyrtet i Havet.
22 And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Og Mose lod Israel drage frem fra det røde Hav, og de droge ud til den Ørk Sur, og de vandrede tre Dage i Ørkenen og fandt ikke Vand.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.
Saa kom de til Mara; men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet i Mara, thi det var besk; derfor kaldte han dens Navn Mara.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Da knurrede Folket imod Mose og sagde: Hvad skulle vi drikke?
25 And he cried to Jehovah. And Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
Saa raabte han til Herren, og Herren viste ham et Træ, og han kastede det i Vandet, og saa blev Vandet sødt. Der satte han dem Lov og Ret, og der forsøgte han dem.
26 and he said, If thou will diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians, for I am Jehovah who heals thee.
Og han sagde: Om du flitteligen hører Herren din Guds Røst, og gør det, som Ret er for hans Øjne, og vender dine Øren til hans Bud og holder alle hans Befalinger, da vil jeg ikke lægge paa dig nogen af de Sygdomme, som jeg lagde paa Ægypterne; thi jeg er Herren, som læger dig.
27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the waters.
Og de kom til Elim, og der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer; og der lejrede de sig ved Vandet.
