Exodus 6
1 But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”
Men HERREN svarede Moses: »Nu skal du faa at se, hvad jeg vil gøre ved Farao! Med Magt skal han blive tvunget til at lade dem rejse, og med Magt skal han blive tvunget til at drive dem ud af sit Land!«
2 God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!
Gud talede til Moses og sagde til ham: »Jeg er HERREN!
3 I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’
For Abraham, Isak og Jakob aabenbarede jeg mig som Gud den Almægtige, men under mit Navn HERREN gav jeg mig ikke til Kende for dem.
4 I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.
Eftersom jeg har oprettet min Pagt med dem om at skænke dem Kana'ans Land, deres Udlændigheds Land, hvor de levede som fremmede,
5 In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.
har jeg nu hørt Israeliternes Klageraab over, at Ægypterne holder dem i Trældom, og jeg er kommet min Pagt i Hu.
6 So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.
Derfor skal du sige til Israeliterne: Jeg er HERREN, og jeg vil udfri eder fra det Trællearbejde, Ægypterne har paalagt eder, og frelse eder fra deres Trældom og udløse eder med udrakt Arm og med vældige Straffedomme;
7 I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
og saa vil jeg antage eder som mit Folk og være eders Gud, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som udfrier eder fra Ægypternes Trællearbejde;
8 I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”
og jeg vil føre eder til det Land, jeg har svoret at ville skænke Abraham, Isak og Jakob, og give eder det i Eje. Jeg er HERREN!«
9 Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.
Moses kundgjorde nu dette for Israeliterne; men de hørte ikke paa Moses, dertil var deres Modløshed for stor og deres Trællearbejde for haardt.
10 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
11 “Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”
»Gaa hen og sig til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, at han skal lade Israeliterne drage ud af, sit Land!«
12 But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”
Men Moses sagde for HERRENS Aasyn: »Israeliterne har ikke hørt paa mig, hvor skulde da Farao gøre det, tilmed da jeg er uomskaaren paa Læberne?«
13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and told them what to do regarding the people of Israel and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
Da talede HERREN til Moses og Aron og sendte dem til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, for at føre Israeliterne ud af Ægypten.

30 But Moses replied, “I'm not a good speaker—why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
Men Moses sagde for HERRENS Aasyn: »Se, jeg er uomskaaren paa Læberne, hvorledes skulde da Farao ville høre paa mig?«
