2 Mosebok 14
1 Sidan tala Herren til Moses, og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 «Seg med Israels-folket at dei skal snu um og lægra seg framanfor Pi-Hakhirot, millom Migdol og havet; beint for Ba’al-Sefon, midt imot, skal de lægra dykk utmed havet.
Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
3 Då kjem Farao til å segja um Israels-folket: «Dei hev kome på villstig, og finn ikkje ut or heidi att.»
And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
4 Og eg vil herda hugen åt Farao, so han set etter deim; då skal eg syna magti mi på Farao og heile heren hans, og egyptarane skal få kjenna at eg er Herren.» So gjorde dei som Herren sagde.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 Då kongen i Egyptarland fekk vita at Israels-folket hadde rømt landet, då skifte han hug, både han og mennerne hans, og dei sagde: «Kva hev me gjort, som slepte Israel utor tenesta?»
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
6 So beitte han fyre vogni si, og herfolket sitt tok han med seg.
So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
7 Seks hundrad utvalde vogner tok han, og sidan kvar vogn som fanst i Egyptarland, og kjempor var det på alle.
having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
8 For Herren herde hugen åt Farao, egyptarkongen, so han sette etter Israels-folket. Israels-mennerne tok ut med verja i hand,
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
9 men egyptarane sette etter, alle vognhestarne åt Farao og riddarane og hermagti hans, og nådde deim att utmed havet, der dei hadde lægra seg, tett innmed Pi-Hakhirot, midt for Ba’al-Sefon.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
10 Farao kom næmare og næmare, og då Israels-folket skulde sjå til, då såg dei egyptarane kom setjande etter deim. Då vart Israels-folket fælande rædde, og ropa til Herren.
And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
11 Og dei sagde med Moses: «Fanst det då ikkje graver i Egyptarland, med di du laut hava oss hit og lata oss døy i villmarki? Kvi gjorde du oss dette og lokka oss burt frå Egyptarland?
and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
12 Var det ikkje det me sagde med deg i Egyptarland! «Lat oss vera i fred!» sagde me, «me vil tena egyptarane; det er betre for oss, det, enn å døy i ville heidi.»»
Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
13 Då sagde Moses til folket: «Ver ikkje rædde! Statt no her og sjå den hjelpi som Herren vil senda dykk i dag; for likso visst som de ser egyptarane i dag, likso visst skal de aldri sjå deim meir i all æva.
And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
14 Herren vil strida for dykk, og de skal halda dykk stille.»
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
15 Og Herren sagde til Moses: «Kvi kallar du på meg? Seg med Israels-folket at dei skal taka i vegen!
and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
16 Og du skal lyfte staven din, og retta handi ut yver havet og kløyva det, so Israels-folket kann ganga midt igjenom havet på turre botnen.
And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
17 Men eg vil herda hugen åt egyptarane, so dei set etter deim. Då skal eg syna magti mi på Farao og heile hans her, på vognerne og riddarane hans.
And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
18 Og egyptarane skal få kjenna at eg er Herren, når eg brukar veldet mitt på Farao og vognerne og riddarane hans.»
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
19 Og Guds engel, som gjekk fyre Israels-heren, tukka seg og steig attum deim: skystopulen, som var framanfor deim, flutte seg og vart standande attanfor,
And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
20 so han kom imillom egyptarane og Israels-heren; på den eine sida var han skum og myrk, og på hi sida lyste han upp natti, og herarne kom ikkje innåt kvarandre heile natti.
And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
21 Då rette Moses handi si ut yver havet, og Herren sende ei strid austanvind, som bles heile natti, so vatnet dreiv undan: han gjorde havet til turt land, og vatnet kløyvde seg.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
22 Og Israels-folket gjekk tvert gjenom havet på turre grunnen, og vatnet stod som ein mur både på høgre og vinstre sida.
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
23 Men egyptarane sette etter, og fylgde til midt ut i havet, alle hestarne åt Farao og vognerne og riddarane hans.
And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
24 So hende det fyrstundes i otta at Herren såg ned på egyptarheren frå eld- og skystopulen og forvilla egyptarheren.
And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
25 Han slo hjuli undan vognerne deira, so det gjekk tungt for deim å koma fram. Då sagde egyptarane: «Lat oss røma for Israel! For Herren er med deim og strider mot egyptarane!»
and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
26 Og Herren sagde til Moses: «Rett handi di ut yver havet, so skal vatnet fløyma attende yver egyptarane, yver vognerne og riddarane deira!»
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
27 So rette Moses handi ut yver havet, og då det leid imot morgonen, kom havet veltande attende i det gamle romet sitt, men egyptarane rømde beint imot bårorne, og Herren støytte deim midt ut i havet.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 Vatnet flødde i hop att, og gøymde vognerne og riddarane i heile Farao-heren, som hadde fylgt etter deim ut i havet; det vart ikkje att ein einast ein.
and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
29 Men Israels-folket gjekk tvert igjenom havet på turre sanden, og vatnet stod som ein mur på både sidorne, både den høgre og den vinstre.
But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
30 Soleis berga Herren den dagen Israel for egyptarane, og Israel skoda egyptarane korleis dei låg daude på havstrandi.
So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
31 Og då folket såg Guds allmagt på det han gjorde med egyptarane, då fekk dei age for Herren, og dei trudde på Herren og på Moses, tenaren hans.
And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
