Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and 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 The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He 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 The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,
5 The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
7 You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.
I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Straa.
8 At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; like a wall the currents stood firm; the depths 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 declared, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will 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 But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Du blæste med din Aande, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.
11 Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?
Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordaad, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them up.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.
13 With loving devotion You will lead the people You have redeemed; with Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.
Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the dwellers of Philistia.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; trembling will seize the leaders of Moab; those who dwell in Canaan will melt away,
Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
16 and terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You have bought pass by.
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 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance— the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, Your 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 The LORD will reign forever and ever!”
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
19 For when Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
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 Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing.
Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,
21 And Miriam sang back to them: “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and 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 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding 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 the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named 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 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”
Da knurrede Folket mod Moses og sagde: »Hvad skal vi drikke?«
25 And Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log. And when he cast it into the waters, they were sweetened. There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested 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 saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
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 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the waters.
Derpaa kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.
