< Exodus 14 >
1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 Speak to [the] people of Israel so they may turn back and they may encamp before Pi-hahiroth between Migdol and between the sea before Baal-Zephon opposite it you will encamp at the sea.
»Sig til Israeliterne, at de skal vende om og lejre sig ved Pi-Hakirot mellem Migdol og Havet; lige over for Ba'al-Zefon skal I lejre eder ved Havet.
3 And he will say Pharaoh of [the] people of Israel [are] wandering in confusion they in the land it has shut on them the wilderness.
Farao vil da tænke om Israeliterne, at de er faret vild i Landet, og at Ørkenen har sluttet dem inde;
4 And I will make strong [the] heart of Pharaoh and he will pursue after them and I will gain honor by Pharaoh and by all army his and they will know Egypt that I [am] Yahweh and they did so.
og jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte, saa han sætter efter dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig paa Farao og hele hans Krigsmagt, og Ægypterne skal kende, at jeg er HERREN!« Og de gjorde saaledes.
5 And it was told to [the] king of Egypt that it had fled the people and it was changed [the] heart of Pharaoh and servants his to the people and they said what? this have we done that we have let go Israel from serving us.
Da det nu meldtes Ægypterkongen, at Folket var flygtet, skiftede Farao og hans Tjenere Sind over for Folket og sagde: »Hvor kunde vi dog slippe Israeliterne af vor Tjeneste!«
6 And he harnessed chariot his and people his he took with him.
Da lod han spænde for sin Vogn og tog sine Krigsfolk med sig;
7 And he took six hundred chariot[s] chosen and all [the] chariotry of Egypt and officers [were] over all of it.
han tog 600 udsøgte Stridsvogne og alle Ægyptens Krigsvogne, alle bemandede med Vognkæmpere.
8 And he made strong Yahweh [the] heart of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he pursued after [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Israel [were] going out with a hand raised.
Og HERREN forhærdede Ægypterkongen Faraos Hjerte, saa han satte efter Israeliterne; men Israeliterne var draget ud under en stærk Haands Værn.
9 And they pursued Egypt after them and they overtook them encamped at the sea every horse of [the] chariotry of Pharaoh and horsemen his and army his at Pi-hahiroth before Baal-Zephon.
Og Ægypterne, alle Faraos Heste og Vogne og hans Ryttere og øvrige Krigsfolk, satte efter dem og indhentede dem, da de havde slaaet Lejr ved Havet, ved Pi-Hakirot over for Ba'al-Zefon.
10 And Pharaoh he drew near and they lifted up [the] people of Israel eyes their and there! Egypt - [was] marching after them and they were afraid exceedingly and they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh.
Da nu Farao nærmede sig, saa Israeliterne op og fik Øje paa Ægypterne, der drog efter dem, og de grebes af stor Angst; da raabte Israeliterne til HERREN;
11 And they said to Moses ¿ because not there not [were] graves in Egypt you brought us to die in the wilderness what? this have you done to us by bringing out us from Egypt.
og de sagde til Moses: »Er det, fordi der ingen Grave var i Ægypten, at du har faaet os ud for at dø i Ørkenen? Hvad er det dog, du har gjort os, at du førte os ud af Ægypten?
12 ¿ Not [is] this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt saying cease from us so let us serve Egypt for [is] better for us serving Egypt than to die us in the wilderness.
Var det ikke det, vi sagde til dig i Ægypten: Lad os i Fred, og lad os blive ved at trælle for Ægypterne! Thi det er bedre for os at trælle for Ægypterne end at dø i Ørkenen.«
13 And he said Moses to the people may not you be afraid stand firm and see [the] deliverance of Yahweh which he will bring about for you this day for which you have seen Egypt this day not you will repeat to see them again until perpetuity.
Men Moses svarede Folket: »Frygt ikke! Hold blot Stand, saa skal I se HERRENS Frelse, som han i Dag vil hjælpe eder til, thi som I ser Ægypterne i Dag, skal I aldrig i Evighed se dem mere.
14 Yahweh he will fight for you and you you will keep quiet!
HERREN skal stride for eder, men I skal tie!«
15 And he said Yahweh to Moses why? are you crying out to me speak to [the] people of Israel so they may set out.
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Hvorfor raaber du til mig? Sig til Israeliterne, at de skal bryde op!
16 And you raise staff your and stretch out hand your over the sea and divide it so they may go [the] people of Israel in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground.
Løft din Stav og ræk din Haand ud over Havet og skil det ad i to Dele, saa Israeliterne kan vandre gennem Havet paa tør Bund.
17 And I here I [am] about to make strong [the] heart of Egypt so they may go after them and I will gain honor by Pharaoh and by all army his by chariot[s] his and by horsemen his.
Se, jeg vil forhærde Ægypternes Hjerte, saa de følger efter dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig paa Farao og hele hans Krigsmagt, paa hans Vogne og Ryttere,
18 And they will know Egypt that I [am] Yahweh when gain honor I by Pharaoh by chariot[s] his and by horsemen his.
og Ægypterne skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg forherliger mig paa Farao, hans Vogne og Ryttere.«
19 And he set out [the] angel of God who had been going before [the] camp of Israel and he went behind them and it set out [the] pillar of cloud from before them and it stood behind them.
Guds Engel, der drog foran Israels Hær, flyttede sig nu og gik bag ved dem; og Skystøtten flyttede sig fra Pladsen foran dem og stillede sig bag ved dem
20 And it went between - [the] camp of Egypt and between [the] camp of Israel and it was the cloud and the darkness and it lit up the night and not it drew near this to this all the night.
og kom til at staa imellem Ægypternes og Israels Hære; og da det blev mørkt; blev Skystøtten til en Ildstøtte og oplyste Natten. Saaledes kom de ikke hinanden nær hele Natten.
21 And he stretched out Moses hand his over the sea and he drove Yahweh - the sea by a wind an east wind strong all the night and he made the sea into dry ground and they were divided the waters.
Moses rakte da sin Haand ud over Havet, og HERREN drev Havet bort med en stærk Østenstorm, der blæste hele Natten, og han gjorde Havet til tørt Land. Og Vandet delte sig.
22 And they went [the] people of Israel in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground and the water for them [was] a wall from right their and from left their.
Da gik Israeliterne midt igennem Havet paa tør Bund, medens Vandet stod som en Mur paa begge Sider af dem.
23 And they pursued Egypt and they went after them every horse of Pharaoh chariotry his and horsemen his into [the] middle of the sea.
Og Ægypterne, alle Faraos Heste, Vogne og Ryttere, satte efter dem og forfulgte dem midt ud i Havet.
24 And it was in [the] watch of the morning and he looked down Yahweh to [the] camp of Egypt in a pillar of fire and cloud and he confused [the] camp of Egypt.
Men ved Morgenvagtens Tid skuede HERREN fra Ild og Skystøtten hen imod Ægypternes Hær og bragte den i Uorden;
25 And he turned aside [the] wheel[s] of chariots its and he caused to drive it with difficulty and it said Egypt let me flee from before Israel for Yahweh [is] fighting for them (against Egypt. *LB(ha)*)
og han stoppede Vognenes Hjul, saa de havde ondt ved at faa dem frem. Da sagde Ægypterne: »Lad os flygte for Israel, thi HERREN kæmper for dem imod Ægypten!«
26 And he said Yahweh to Moses stretch out hand your over the sea so they may return the waters over Egypt over chariot[s] its and over horsemen its.
Men HERREN sagde til Moses: »Ræk din Haand ud over Havet, saa skal Vandet vende tilbage over Ægypterne, deres Vogne og Ryttere!«
27 And he stretched out Moses hand his over the sea and it returned the sea to [the] turning of morning to normal [state] its and Egypt [were] fleeing to meet it and he shook off Yahweh Egypt in [the] middle of the sea.
Da rakte Moses sin Haand ud over Havet; og Havet vendte tilbage til sit sædvanlige Leje ved Morgenens Frembrud, medens de flygtende Ægyptere kom lige imod det, og HERREN drev Ægypterne midt ud i Havet.
28 And they returned the waters and they covered the chariot[s] and the horsemen to all [the] army of Pharaoh which had gone after them in the sea not it remained among them up to one.
Da vendte Vandet tilbage og overskyllede Vognene og Rytterne i hele Faraos Krigsmagt, som havde forfulgt dem ud i Havet; ikke en eneste af dem blev tilbage.
29 And [the] people of Israel they walked on the dry ground in [the] middle of the sea and the water for them [was] a wall from right their (and from left their *LB(ah)*)
Men Israeliterne var gaaet gennem Havet paa tør Bund, medens Vandet stod som en Mur paa begge Sider af dem.
30 and he delivered Yahweh on the day that Israel from [the] hand of Egypt and it saw Israel Egypt dead on [the] shore of the sea.
Og HERREN frelste paa den Dag Israel af Ægypternes Haand, og Israel saa Ægypterne ligge døde ved Havets Bred.
31 And it saw Israel the hand great which he had used Yahweh on Egypt and they feared the people Yahweh and they believed in Yahweh and in Moses servant his.
Da saa Israel den Stordaad, HERREN havde udført mod Ægypterne; og Folket frygtede HERREN, og de troede paa HERREN og paa hans Tjener Moses.
