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.
Da sang Moses og Israels barn denne sang for Herren: Jeg vil lovsynge Herren, for han er høit ophøiet; hest og mann styrtet 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 lovsang, og han blev mig til frelse; han er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min fars Gud, og jeg vil ophøie ham.
3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
Herren er en stridsmann, 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 vogner og hans hær kastet han i havet, og hans utvalgte vognkjempere druknet i det Røde Hav.
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Avgrunner skjulte dem, de sank som sten i dype vann.
6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Din høire hånd, Herre, er herliggjort i kraft, din høire hånd, Herre, knuser fiender.
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.
Og i din høihets velde slår du dine motstandere ned; du slipper din vrede 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.
Og ved ditt åndepust hopet vannene sig sammen, bølgene stod som voller, dype vann stivnet i havets hjerte.
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.’
Fienden sa: Jeg vil forfølge dem, jeg vil innhente dem, jeg vil dele ut hærfang, jeg vil mette min sjel med dem; jeg vil dra mitt sverd, min hånd skal utrydde dem.
10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Du blåste med din ånde, havet skjulte dem; de sank som bly i de veldige vann.
11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Herre, hvem er som du blandt gudene? Hvem er som du herliggjort i hellighet, forferdelig å love, underfull i gjerning?
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Du rakte ut din høire hånd, jorden slukte 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 fører ved din miskunnhet det folk som du forløste; du leder dem ved din kraft til din hellige bolig.
14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hører det, de skjelver; angst griper dem som bor i Filisterland.
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 forferdes Edoms stammefyrster, redsel griper Moabs høvdinger, alle Kana'ans innbyggere forgår av angst.
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.
Forferdelse og redsel faller over dem, ved din arms velde blir de målløse som sten, mens ditt folk drar frem, Herre, mens det folk drar frem som du har vunnet dig.
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 fører dem inn og planter dem på din arvs berg, det sted du har skapt dig til bolig, Herre, den helligdom, Herre, som dine hender har grunnlagt.
18 Yahweh will reign forever and ever.”
Herren skal være konge i all evighet.
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.
For da Faraos hester med hans vogner og menn for ut i havet, da lot Herren havets vann vende tilbake over dem, mens Israels barn gikk på det tørre midt igjennem 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 profetinnen Mirjam, Arons søster, tok en tromme i sin hånd, og alle kvinnene gikk efter henne med trommer og dans.
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 fore: Lovsyng Herren, for han er høit ophøiet; hest og mann styrtet 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.
Så lot Moses Israel bryte op fra det Røde Hav, og de drog ut i ørkenen Sur; og tre dager drog de frem i ørkenen uten å finne vann.
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 kom de til Mara; men de kunde ikke drikke vannet i Mara fordi det var beskt; derfor blev stedet kalt Mara.
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
Da knurret folket mot Moses og sa: 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.
Og han ropte til Herren, og Herren viste ham et tre; det kastet han i vannet, og vannet blev godt. Der satte han dem lov og rett, og der prøvde han dem;
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 sa: Dersom du hører på Herren din Guds røst, og gjør det som er rett i hans øine, og gir akt på hans bud, og holder alle hans forskrifter, da vil jeg ikke legge på dig nogen av de sykdommer som jeg la på egypterne; for jeg er Herren, din læge.
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
Så kom de til Elim; der var tolv vannkilder og sytti palmetrær; og de slo leir der ved vannet.
