Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God, and said, "I will sing to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Da sang Mose og Israels Børn denne Sang for Herren og sagde: Jeg vil synge for Herren; thi han er højt ophøjet; Hesten og den, som red derpaa, har han nedstyrtet i Havet.
2 YAH is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Herren er min Styrke og Lovsang, og han blev mig til Frelse; denne er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min Faders Gud, og jeg vil ophøje ham.
3 YHWH is a warrior. YHWH is his name.
Herren er en Krigsmand, „Herre‟ er hans Navn.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he hurled into the sea. His elite officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
Han kastede Faraos Vogne og hans Hær i Havet, og hans udvalgte Høvedsmænd bleve druknede i det røde Hav.
5 The depths covered them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Afgrundene skjulte dem; de sank ned i de dybe Vande som en Sten.
6 Your right hand, YHWH, is glorious in power. Your right hand, YHWH, shattered the enemy.
Herre! din højre Haand har vist sig at være herlig med Styrke; Herre! du knuser Fjenden med din højre Haand.
7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those who rise up against you. You sent forth your wrath. It consumed them like stubble.
Og du nedstøder dine Modstandere med din store Højhed; du udsender din Vrede, den fortærer dem som Straa.
8 With the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood upright like a wall. The depths solidified in the heart of the sea.
Og ved din Vredes Vejr ophobedes Vandene, Strømmene stode som en Dynge; Bølgerne stivnede midt i Havet.
9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
Fjenden sagde: Jeg vil forfølge, gribe, dele Rovet; min Sjæl skal stille sin Lyst paa dem, jeg vil uddrage mit Sværd, min Haand skal udrydde dem.
10 You blew with your breath. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Du blæste med dit Vejr, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de mægtige Vande.
11 Who is like you, YHWH, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders?
Hvo er som du iblandt Guderne, Herre? hvo er som du, herlig bevist i Hellighed, forfærdelig at berømme, underfuld i Gerning!
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Du udrakte din højre Haand, Jorden opslugte dem.
13 "In your loving kindness you will lead the people that you have redeemed. You will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling.
Du har ved din Miskundhed ført dette Folk, som du har genløst; du ledsagede dem med din Kraft til din Helligheds Bolig.
14 When the peoples hear, they will tremble. Anguish will grip the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hørte det, de bævede; Angest betog dem, som bo i Palæstina.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified. Trembling will seize the leaders of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Fyrster, Bæven betog de vældige i Moab, alle Indbyggere i Kanaan bleve mistrøstige.
16 Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, until your people pass over, YHWH, until the people pass over whom you have purchased.
Forfærdelse og Frygt skal falde over dem, ved din Arms Magt skulle de blive tavse som en Sten, indtil dit Folk, Herre! kommer over, til det Folk kommer over, som du har forhvervet.
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, YHWH, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, YHWH, which your hands have established.
Du skal føre dem ind og plante dem paa din Arvs Bjerg; du har gjort en Bolig, hvori du vil bo, o Herre! en Helligdom, Herre! har dine Hænder beredt.
18 YHWH shall reign forever and ever."
Herren skal regere evindelig og altid.
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHWH brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Thi Faraos Heste droge ind med hans Vogne og hans Ryttere i Havet, og Herren lod Havets Vande komme tilbage over dem; men Israels Børn gik paa det tørre midt igennem Havet.
20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
Og Maria, den Profetinde, Arons Søster, tog en Pauke i sin Haand; og alle Kvinder gik ud efter hende med Pauker og Dans.
21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."
Og Maria svarede dem: Synger for Herren, thi han er højt ophøjet; Hesten og den, som red derpaa, har han nedstyrtet i Havet.
22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Og Mose lod Israel drage frem fra det røde Hav, og de droge ud til den Ørk Sur, og de vandrede tre Dage i Ørkenen og fandt ikke Vand.
23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Saa kom de til Mara; men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet i Mara, thi det var besk; derfor kaldte han dens Navn Mara.
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
Da knurrede Folket imod Mose og sagde: Hvad skulle vi drikke?
25 Then he cried to YHWH. YHWH showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;
Saa raabte han til Herren, og Herren viste ham et Træ, og han kastede det i Vandet, og saa blev Vandet sødt. Der satte han dem Lov og Ret, og der forsøgte han dem.
26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of YHWH your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am YHWH who heals you.
Og han sagde: Om du flitteligen hører Herren din Guds Røst, og gør det, som Ret er for hans Øjne, og vender dine Øren til hans Bud og holder alle hans Befalinger, da vil jeg ikke lægge paa dig nogen af de Sygdomme, som jeg lagde paa Ægypterne; thi jeg er Herren, som læger dig.
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they camped there by the waters.
Og de kom til Elim, og der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer; og der lejrede de sig ved Vandet.
