Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he 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 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation: This is my God, and I will glorify him; My father's God, and I will extol 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, his name.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea; His chosen captains also 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 covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
7 And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed 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 thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; The depths 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 soul shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.
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 Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Du blæste med din Ånde, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.
11 Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness, Fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?
Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordåd, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.
13 Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness.
Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
15 Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
16 Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast 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 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared.
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 Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever!
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
19 For the horse of Pharaoh, with his chariots and with his horsemen, came into the sea, and Jehovah brought again the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel went on dry [ground] through 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 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the tambour in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambours 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 to Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he 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 brought Israel 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.
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 Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.
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 he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them.
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 he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do what is right in his eyes, and incline thine ears to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the complaints upon thee that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who healeth thee.
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 Elim; and twelve springs of water were there, and seventy 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.
