Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to God, and spoke, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he is very greatly glorified: 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 He was to me a helper and protector for salvation: this is my God and I will glorify 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 bringing wars to nothing, the Lord [is] his name.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!
4 He has cast the chariots of Pharao and his host into the sea, the chosen mounted captains: they were swallowed up in the Red Sea.
Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,
5 He covered them with the sea: they sank to the depth like a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Your right hand, O God, has been glorified in strength; your right hand, O God, has broken the enemies.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
7 And in the abundance of your glory you have broken the adversaries to pieces: you sent forth your wrath, it devoured them as stubble.
I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Strå.
8 And by the breath of your anger the water parted asunder; the waters were congealed as a wall, the waves were congealed in the midst 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 spoils; I will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword, my hand shall have dominion.
Fjenden tænkte: "Jeg sætter efter dem, indhenter dem, uddeler Bytte, stiller mit Begær på dem; jeg drager mit Sværd, min Hånd skal udrydde dem."
10 You sent forth your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty water.
Du blæste med din Ånde, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.
11 Who is like to you amongst the gods, O Lord? who is like to you? glorified in holiness, marvellous in glories, doing wonders.
Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordåd, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 You stretched forth your right hand, the earth swallowed them up.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.
13 You have guided in your righteousness this your people whom you have redeemed, by your strength you have called them into your holy resting-place.
Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 The nations heard and were angry, pangs have seized on the dwellers amongst the Phylistines.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
15 Then the princes of Edom, and the chiefs of the Moabites hasted; trembling took hold upon them, all the inhabitants of Chanaan melted away.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
16 Let trembling and fear fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm, let them become as stone; till your people pass over, O Lord, till this your people pass over, whom you have purchased.
Skræk og Angst faldt over dem, ved din Arms Vælde blev de målløse som Sten, til dit Folk var nået frem, o HERRE, til Folket, du vandt dig, var nået frem.
17 Bring them in and plant them in the mountain of their inheritance, in your prepared habitation, which you, O Lord, have prepared; the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made ready.
du førte dem frem og planted dem i din Arvelods Bjerge, på det Sted du beredte dig til Bolig, HERRE, i den Helligdom, Herre, som dine Hænder grundfæsted.
18 The Lord reigns for ever and ever and ever.
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
19 For the horse of Pharao went in with the chariots and horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought upon them the water of the sea, but the children of Israel walked through 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 på tør Bund.
20 And Mariam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, having taken a timbrel in her hand—then there went forth all the women after her with timbrels and dances.
Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,
21 And Mariam led them, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been very greatly glorified: the horse and rider has he cast into the sea.
og Mirjam sang for: Syng for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han i Havet!
22 So Moses brought up the children of Israel from the Red Sea, and brought them into the wilderness of Sur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water to drink.
Derpå 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 they came to Merrha, and could not drink of Merrha, for it was bitter; therefore he named the name of that place, Bitterness.
Så nåede 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 Moses cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, and he cast it into the water, and the water was sweetened: there he established to him ordinances and judgements, and there he proved him,
Men han råbte 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 på Prøve.
26 and said, If you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God, and do things pleasing before him, and will listen to his commands, and keep all his ordinances, no disease which I have brought upon the Egyptians will I bring upon you, for I am the Lord your God that heals you.
Og han sagde: "Hvis du vil høre på 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, så 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 Aelim, and there were there twelve fountains of water, and seventy stems of palm-trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
Derpå kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.
