Exodus 14
1 Now YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
Tal til Israels Børn, at de drage om og lejre sig for Pi-Hakiroth, imellem Migdol og Havet, tvært over for Baal-Zefon, ret for den skulle I lejre eder ved Havet.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
Thi Farao skal sige om Israels Børn: De ere farne vild i Landet, Ørken har lukket for dem.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am YHWH." And they did so.
Og jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte, at han skal forfølge dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig paa Farao og paa al hans Hær, og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren; og de gjorde saa.
5 And when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
Og det blev Kongen af Ægypten tilkendegivet, at Folket flyede; da omvendtes Faraos og hans Tjeneres Hjerte imod Folket, og de sagde: Hvi gjorde vi dette, at vi lode Israel fare, at de ikke skulde tjene os?
6 Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
Saa lod han spænde for sin Vogn og tog sit Folk med sig.
7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
Og han tog seks Hundrede udvalgte Vogne og alle Vogne i Ægypten og Høvedsmændene over dem alle.
8 And YHWH hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel were going out triumphantly.
Thi Herren forhærdede Ægyptens Konge Faraos Hjerte, saa at han forfulgte Israels Børn; men Israels Børn vare uddragne ved en høj Haand.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Saa forfulgte Ægypterne dem og naaede dem, da de havde lejret sig ved Havet, alle Faraos Vognheste og hans Ryttere og hans Hær, ved Pi-Hakiroth, tvært over for Baal-Zefon.
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So the children of Israel cried out to YHWH.
Og Farao nærmede sig; og Israels Børn opløftede deres Øjne, og se, Ægypterne droge efter dem; da frygtede de saare, og Israels Børn raabte til Herren.
11 And they said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
Og de sagde til Mose: Mon der ikke var Grave i Ægypten, siden du tog os ud til at dø i Ørken? hvi gjorde du os dette, at du førte os ud af Ægypten?
12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."
Er det ej det Ord, som vi talede til dig i Ægypten, sigende: Lad af fra os, vi ville tjene Ægypterne; thi det er os bedre at tjene Ægypterne end at dø i Ørken.
13 But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
Da sagde Mose til Folket: Frygter ikke, bliver staaende og ser Herrens Frelse, som han skal vise eder i Dag; thi disse Ægyptere, som I se i Dag, dem skulle I ikke i al Evighed se mere herefter.
14 YHWH will fight for you, and you must be still."
Herren skal stride for eder, og I, I skulle tie.
15 Then YHWH said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hvi vil du raabe til mig? sig til Israels Børn, at de skulle drage frem;
16 And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
og opløft du din Stav og udræk din Haand over Havet og skil det ad, og Israels Børn skulle gaa midt igennem Havet paa det tørre.
17 And as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
Og jeg, se, jeg vil forhærde Ægypternes Hjerte, at de skulle forfølge eder; saa vil jeg forherlige mig paa Farao og paa al hans Hær, paa hans Vogne og paa hans Ryttere.
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am YHWH, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."
Og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg har forherliget mig paa Farao, paa hans Vogne og paa hans Ryttere.
19 And the angel of God who was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and stood behind them.
Da drog den Guds Engel, som gik foran Israels Hær, af Sted og drog bag dem; og Skystøtten drog fra deres Ansigt og stod bag dem.
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all night.
Og den kom imellem Ægypternes Hær og imellem Israels Hær, og den var Sky og Mørke [for hine], men oplyste Natten [for disse]; og den ene kom ikke til den anden den ganske Nat.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and YHWH pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
Og Mose udstrakte sin Haand over Havet, og Herren lod Havet fare bort ved et stærkt Østenvejr den ganske Nat og gjorde Havet som det tørre; og Vandene skiltes ad.
22 Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
Og Israels Børn gik midt igennem Havet paa det tørre; og Vandet var dem en Mur paa deres højre og paa deres venstre Side.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Og Ægypterne forfulgte dem og droge efter dem, alle Faraos Heste, hans Vogne og hans Ryttere, til midt i Havet.
24 And it happened, in the morning watch, that YHWH looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
Og det skete, der Morgenvagten kom, da saa Herren i Ildens og Skyens Støtte til Ægypternes Hær og forfærdede Ægypternes Hær.
25 And he bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for YHWH fights for them against the Egypt."
Og han stødte Hjulene af deres Vogne og lod dem rykke frem med Besvær; da sagde Ægypterne: Jeg maa fly for Israel; thi Herren strider for dem imod Ægypterne.
26 Then YHWH said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Udræk din Haand over Havet, og Vandene skulle falde tilbage over Ægypterne, over deres Vogne og over deres Ryttere.
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but YHWH shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Saa rakte Mose sin Haand over Havet, og Havet kom igen mod Morgenen i sit sædvanlige Leje, og Ægypterne flyede imod det; saa styrtede Herren Ægypterne midt i Havet.
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
Og Vandet kom igen og skjulte i hele Faraos Hær Vogne og Ryttere, som vare komne efter dem i Havet; der blev end ikke een tilovers af dem.
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Men Israels Børn vare gangne paa det tørre midt igennem Havet, og Vandet havde været dem en Mur paa deres højre og paa deres venstre Side.
30 Thus YHWH saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Saa frelste Herren Israel den samme Dag af Ægypternes Haand, og Israel saa Ægypterne ligge døde ved Havets Bred.
31 When Israel saw the great power which YHWH used against the Egyptians, then the people feared YHWH, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
Og Israel saa den store Magt, som Herren havde bevist paa Ægypterne, og Folket frygtede Herren; og de troede paa Herren og paa Mose, hans Tjener.
