Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast 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 praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.
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 like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.
Herren er en stridsmann, Herren er hans navn.
4 The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.
Faraos vogner og hans hær kastet han i havet, og hans utvalgte vognkjempere druknet i det Røde Hav.
5 The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.
Avgrunner skjulte dem, de sank som sten i dype vann.
6 Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.
Din høire hånd, Herre, er herliggjort i kraft, din høire hånd, Herre, knuser fiender.
7 And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.
Og i din høihets velde slår du dine motstandere ned; du slipper din vrede løs, den fortærer dem som strå.
8 And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.
Og ved ditt åndepust hopet vannene sig sammen, bølgene stod som voller, dype vann stivnet i havets hjerte.
9 The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’
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 Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.
Du blåste med din ånde, havet skjulte dem; de sank som bly i de veldige vann.
11 Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?
Herre, hvem er som du blandt gudene? Hvem er som du herliggjort i hellighet, forferdelig å love, underfull i gjerning?
12 You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.
Du rakte ut din høire hånd, jorden slukte dem.
13 In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.
Du fører ved din miskunnhet det folk som du forløste; du leder dem ved din kraft til din hellige bolig.
14 Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hører det, de skjelver; angst griper dem som bor i Filisterland.
15 Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.
Da forferdes Edoms stammefyrster, redsel griper Moabs høvdinger, alle Kana'ans innbyggere forgår av angst.
16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.
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 shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.
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 will reign in eternity and beyond.
Herren skal være konge i all evighet.
19 For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”
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 so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.
Og profetinnen Mirjam, Arons søster, tok en tromme i sin hånd, og alle kvinnene gikk efter henne med trommer og dans.
21 And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown 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 from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found 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 they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.
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 murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”
Da knurret folket mot Moses og sa: Hvad skal vi drikke?
25 So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,
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 saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”
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 Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.
Så kom de til Elim; der var tolv vannkilder og sytti palmetrær; og de slo leir der ved vannet.
