Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders 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 gives me strength. He is the theme of my song. He saves me. He is my God, and I will praise him. He is my father's God, and I will honor 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 like a warrior. His name is the Lord.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!
4 He threw Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. Pharaoh's best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,
5 The flooding water covered them. They dropped down into the depths like a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Your power, Lord, is truly amazing! Your power, Lord, crushed the enemy.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
7 By your majestic power you destroyed those who opposed you. Your anger blazed out and burned them up like stubble.
I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Straa.
8 You blew and the sea piled up. The waves stood straight like a wall. The depths of the ocean turned solid.
Ved din Næses Pust dyngedes Vandene op, Vandene stod som en Vold, Strømmene stivnede midt i Havet.
9 The enemy bragged, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will divide the plunder. I will eat them alive. I will swing my sword. By my hand I will destroy 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 But you blew with your breath and the sea swept over them. They sank down like lead in the swirling waters.
Du blæste med din Aande, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.
11 Who is like you among the gods, Lord? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in wonder, doing miracles?
Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordaad, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 You acted, and the earth swallowed the Egyptians.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.
13 You led the people you saved with your trustworthy love. You will guide them in your strength to your holy home.
Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 The nations will hear what has happened and will shake with fear. The people who live in Philistia will experience agonizing distress.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
15 The Edomite chiefs will be terrified. The Moabite leaders will tremble. The people living in Canaan will melt away in panic.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
16 Terror and fright will fall on them. Lord, because of your great power, they will be as still as stone until your people pass by, until the people you bought pass by.
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 You will take your people and plant them on the mountain that you own, the place that you, Lord, have prepared as your home, the sanctuary that your hands have built, Lord.
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 will reign forever and ever!”
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
19 When Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the water rushing back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
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 Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, picked up a tambourine, and all the women followed her dancing and playing tambourines.
Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,
21 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
og Mirjam sang for: Syng for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han i Havet!
22 Then Moses led Israel away from the Red Sea and into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert but couldn't find any 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 When they arrived at Marah, the water there was too bitter to drink. (That's why the place is called Marah.)
Saa naaede de Mara, men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet for dets bitre Smag, thi det var bittert; derfor kaldte man Stedet Mara.
24 So the people complained to Moses, asking, “What are we going to drink?”
Da knurrede Folket mod Moses og sagde: »Hvad skal vi drikke?«
25 Moses called out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. When he threw it into the water, it became sweet. There the Lord gave them rules and instructions and also tested their loyalty to 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 He told them, “If you pay attention to what the Lord your God says, do what is right in his sight, obey his commands, and keep all his regulations, then I will not make you suffer from any of the diseases I gave the Egyptians because I am the Lord who heals you.”
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 Then they traveled on to Elim, which had twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They set up camp there beside the water.
Derpaa kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.
