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.
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!
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 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.
3 Jehovah is a man of war. Jehovah is his name.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN 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.
Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
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.
I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, 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.
Ved din Næses Pust dyngedes Vandene op, Vandene stod som en Vold, Strømmene 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 tænkte: »Jeg sætter efter dem, indhenter dem, uddeler Bytte, stiller mit Begær paa dem; jeg drager 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 din Aande, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige 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 blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordaad, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 Thou stretched out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte 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 leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 The peoples have heard, they tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
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 Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
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.
Skræk og Angst faldt over dem, ved din Arms Vælde blev de maalløse som Sten, til dit Folk var naaet frem, o HERRE, til Folket, du vandt dig, var naaet frem.
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 førte dem frem og planted dem i din Arvelods Bjerge, paa det Sted du beredte dig til Bolig, HERRE, i den Helligdom, Herre, som dine Hænder grundfæsted.
18 Jehovah shall reign forever and ever.
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
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 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 paa tør Bund.
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.
Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,
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 Mirjam sang for: Syng for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han 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.
Derpaa 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.
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 naaede de Mara, men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet for dets bitre Smag, thi det var bittert; derfor kaldte man Stedet Mara.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Da knurrede Folket mod Moses og sagde: »Hvad skal 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,
Men han raabte 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 paa Prøve.
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: »Hvis du vil høre paa 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, saa vil jeg ikke bringe nogen af de Sygdomme over dig, som jeg bragte over Ægypterne, men jeg HERREN er din Læge!«
27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the waters.
Derpaa kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.
