Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, “I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.
Ved den Lejlighed sang Moses og Israeliterne denne Sang for HERREN: Jeg vil synge for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han i Havet!
2 Yah is my strength and song. 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 min Lovsang, og han blev mig til Frelse. Han er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min Faders Gud, og jeg vil ophøje ham.
3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!
4 He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Strå.
8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Ved din Næses Pust dyngedes Vandene op, Vandene stod som en Vold, Strømmene stivnede midt i Havet.
9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’
Fjenden tænkte: "Jeg sætter efter dem, indhenter dem, uddeler Bytte, stiller mit Begær på dem; jeg drager mit Sværd, min Hånd skal udrydde dem."
10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Du blæste med din Ånde, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.
11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordåd, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.
13 “You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone, until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people you have purchased pass over.
Skræk og Angst faldt over dem, ved din Arms Vælde blev de målløse som Sten, til dit Folk var nået frem, o HERRE, til Folket, du vandt dig, var nået frem.
17 You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in: the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
du førte dem frem og planted dem i din Arvelods Bjerge, på det Sted du beredte dig til Bolig, HERRE, i den Helligdom, Herre, som dine Hænder grundfæsted.
18 Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
Thi da Faraos Heste med hans Vogne og Ryttere drog ud i Havet, lod HERREN Havets Vande strømme tilbage over dem, medens Israeliterne gik gennem Havet på tør Bund.
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.
Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,
21 Miriam answered them, “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”
og Mirjam sang for: Syng for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han 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.
Derpå lod Moses Israel bryde op fra det røde Hav, og de drog ud i Sjurs Ørken, og de vandrede tre Dage i Ørkenen uden at finde 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.
Så nåede de Mara, men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet for dets bitre Smag, thi det var bittert; derfor kaldte man Stedet Mara.
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
Da knurrede Folket mod Moses og sagde: "Hvad skal vi drikke?"
25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh 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.
Men han råbte til HERREN, og da viste HERREN ham en bestemt Slags Træ; og da han kastede det i Vandet, blev Vandet drikkeligt. Der gav han dem Bestemmelser om Lov og Ret, og der satte han dem på Prøve.
26 He said, “If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, 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 Yahweh who heals you.”
Og han sagde: "Hvis du vil høre på HERREN din Guds Røst og gøre, hvad der er ret i hans Øjne, og lytte til hans Bud og holde dig alle hans Bestemmelser efterrettelig, så vil jeg ikke bringe nogen af de Sygdomme over dig, som jeg bragte over Ægypterne, men jeg HERREN er din Læge!"
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
Derpå kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.
