Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord: and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath 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 praise, and he is become salvation to me: he is my God and I will glorify him: the God of my father, 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 as a man of war, Almighty is his name.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!
4 Pharao’s chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his chosen captains 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 are sunk to the bottom like a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
7 And in the multitude of they glory thou hast put down thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like stubble.
I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Straa.
8 And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depth were gathered together 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 and overtake, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay 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 Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.
Du blæste med din Aande, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.
11 Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders?
Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordaad, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.
13 In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy habitation.
Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
15 Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness of thy arm: let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.
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 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy 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 shall reign for ever and ever.
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
19 For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.
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 So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and with dances:
Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,
21 And she began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath 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 forth into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through the wilderness, and found no 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 they came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of Mara, because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable to the place, calling it Mara, that is, bitterness.
Saa naaede 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 But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,
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 thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy healer.
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 And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by the waters.
Derpaa kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.
