Exodus 6

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them from his land.

Men HERREN svarede Moses: "Nu skal du få 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 spoke to Moses, and said to him, I [am] the LORD:

Gud talede til Moses og sagde til ham: "Jer er HERREN!

3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

For Abraham, Isak og Jakob åbenbarede 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 them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.

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 children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage: and I have remembered my covenant.

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

6 Wherefore say to the children of Israel, I [am] the LORD, and I will bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with out-stretched arm, and with great judgments:

Derfor skal du sige til Israeliterne: Jeg er HERREN, og jeg vil udfri eder fra det Trællearbejde, Ægypterne har pålagt eder, og frelse eder fra deres Trældom og udløse eder med udrakt Arm og med vældige Straffedomme;

7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

og så 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 will bring you into the land, concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: 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 And Moses spoke so to the children of Israel: but they hearkened not to Moses, by reason of anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.

Moses kundgjorde nu dette for Israeliterne; men de hørte ikke på Moses, dertil var deres Modløshed for stor og deres Trællearbejde for hårdt

10 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

11 Go in, speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel depart from his land.

"Gå hen og sig til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, at han skal lade Israeliterne drage ud af, sit Land!"

12 And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened to me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who [am] of uncircumcised lips?

Men Moses sagde for HERRENs Åsyn: "Israeliterne har ikke hørt på mig, hvor skulde da Farao gøre det, tilmed da jeg er uomskåren på Læberne?"

13 And the LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of 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.

Dengang HERREN talede til Moses i Ægypten,

29 That the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, I [am] the LORD: speak thou to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I say to thee.

talede HERREN til Moses således: "Jeg er HERREN! Forkynd Farao, Ægyptens Konge, alt, hvad jeg siger dig!"

30 And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken to me?

Men Moses sagde for HERRENs Åsyn: "Se, jeg er uomskåren på Læberne, hvorledes skulde da Farao ville høre på mig?"
