Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.
Da sang Moses og Israels barn denne sang for Herren: Jeg vil lovsynge Herren, for han er høit ophøiet; hest og mann styrtet han i havet.
2 The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.
Herren er min styrke og lovsang, og han blev mig til frelse; han er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min fars Gud, og jeg vil ophøie ham.
3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
Herren er en stridsmann, Herren er hans navn.
4 Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.
Faraos vogner og hans hær kastet han i havet, og hans utvalgte vognkjempere druknet i det Røde Hav.
5 They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.
Avgrunner skjulte dem, de sank som sten i dype vann.
6 Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.
Din høire hånd, Herre, er herliggjort i kraft, din høire hånd, Herre, knuser fiender.
7 When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.
Og i din høihets velde slår du dine motstandere ned; du slipper din vrede løs, den fortærer dem som strå.
8 By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.
Og ved ditt åndepust hopet vannene sig sammen, bølgene stod som voller, dype vann stivnet i havets hjerte.
9 Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.
Fienden sa: Jeg vil forfølge dem, jeg vil innhente dem, jeg vil dele ut hærfang, jeg vil mette min sjel med dem; jeg vil dra mitt sverd, min hånd skal utrydde dem.
10 You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.
Du blåste med din ånde, havet skjulte dem; de sank som bly i de veldige vann.
11 Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
Herre, hvem er som du blandt gudene? Hvem er som du herliggjort i hellighet, forferdelig å love, underfull i gjerning?
12 When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.
Du rakte ut din høire hånd, jorden slukte dem.
13 In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.
Du fører ved din miskunnhet det folk som du forløste; du leder dem ved din kraft til din hellige bolig.
14 Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.
Folkene hører det, de skjelver; angst griper dem som bor i Filisterland.
15 The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.
Da forferdes Edoms stammefyrster, redsel griper Moabs høvdinger, alle Kana'ans innbyggere forgår av angst.
16 Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.
Forferdelse og redsel faller over dem, ved din arms velde blir de målløse som sten, mens ditt folk drar frem, Herre, mens det folk drar frem som du har vunnet dig.
17 You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.
Du fører dem inn og planter dem på din arvs berg, det sted du har skapt dig til bolig, Herre, den helligdom, Herre, som dine hender har grunnlagt.
18 The Lord is King for ever and ever.
Herren skal være konge i all evighet.
19 For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.
For da Faraos hester med hans vogner og menn for ut i havet, da lot Herren havets vann vende tilbake over dem, mens Israels barn gikk på det tørre midt igjennem havet.
20 And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.
Og profetinnen Mirjam, Arons søster, tok en tromme i sin hånd, og alle kvinnene gikk efter henne med trommer og dans.
21 And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.
Og Mirjam sang fore: Lovsyng Herren, for han er høit ophøiet; hest og mann styrtet han i havet.
22 Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.
Så lot Moses Israel bryte op fra det Røde Hav, og de drog ut i ørkenen Sur; og tre dager drog de frem i ørkenen uten å finne vann.
23 And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.
Så kom de til Mara; men de kunde ikke drikke vannet i Mara fordi det var beskt; derfor blev stedet kalt Mara.
24 And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?
Da knurret folket mot Moses og sa: Hvad skal vi drikke?
25 And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;
Og han ropte til Herren, og Herren viste ham et tre; det kastet han i vannet, og vannet blev godt. Der satte han dem lov og rett, og der prøvde han dem;
26 And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.
og han sa: Dersom du hører på Herren din Guds røst, og gjør det som er rett i hans øine, og gir akt på hans bud, og holder alle hans forskrifter, da vil jeg ikke legge på dig nogen av de sykdommer som jeg la på egypterne; for jeg er Herren, din læge.
27 And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
Så kom de til Elim; der var tolv vannkilder og sytti palmetrær; og de slo leir der ved vannet.
