Exodus 6

1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Now you see that which I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he sends them away, indeed, with a strong hand he casts them out of his land.”

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 And God speaks to Moses and says to him, “I [am] YHWH,

Gud talede til Moses og sagde til ham: »Jeg er HERREN!

3 and I appear to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; as for My Name YHWH, I have not been known to them;

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 and I have also established My covenant with them, to give the land of Canaan to them, the land of their sojournings, wherein they have sojourned;

Eftersom jeg har oprettet min Pagt med dem om at skænke dem Kana'ans Land, deres Udlændigheds Land, hvor de levede som fremmede,

5 and I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember My covenant.

har jeg nu hørt Israeliternes Klageraab over, at Ægypterne holder dem i Trældom, og jeg er kommet min Pagt i Hu.

6 Therefore say to the sons of Israel: I [am] YHWH, and I have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and have delivered you from their service, and have redeemed you by an outstretched arm, and by great judgments,

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 and have taken you to Myself for a people, and I have been to you for God, and you have known that I [am] your God YHWH, who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians;

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 and I have brought you to the land which I have lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and have given it to you—a possession; I [am] YHWH.”

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 And Moses speaks so to the sons of Israel, and they did not listen to Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for harsh service.

Moses kundgjorde nu dette for Israeliterne; men de hørte ikke paa Moses, dertil var deres Modløshed for stor og deres Trællearbejde for haardt.

10 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

11 “Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he sends the sons of Israel out of his land”;

»Gaa hen og sig til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, at han skal lade Israeliterne drage ud af, sit Land!«

12 and Moses speaks before YHWH, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me, and how does Pharaoh hear me, and I of uncircumcised lips?”

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 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, and charges them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.

Da talede HERREN til Moses og Aron og sendte dem til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, for at føre Israeliterne ud af Ægypten.

29 that YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, “I [am] YHWH, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.”

talede HERREN til Moses saaledes: »Jeg er HERREN! Forkynd Farao, Ægyptens Konge, alt, hvad jeg siger dig!«

30 And Moses says before YHWH, “Behold, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how does Pharaoh listen to me?”

Men Moses sagde for HERRENS Aasyn: »Se, jeg er uomskaaren paa Læberne, hvorledes skulde da Farao ville høre paa mig?«
