2 Mosebok 15
1 Då song Moses og Israels-folket denne lovsongen til Herren: «Eg vil syngja um Herren, for stor er han, stor; hest og ridar i havet han støytte.
Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
2 Han er min styrke, um han er mitt kvæde; for han hev meg berga. Han er min Gud, han vil eg lova, Gud åt far min, han vil eg prisa.
Jehovah is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 Herren er rette hermannen: Herren heiter han.
Jehovah is a man of war. Jehovah is his name.
4 Vognern’ og heren åt Farao tok han og kasta i sjøen. Gjævaste kjemporn’ i Sevhavet sokk;
Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has cast into the sea, and his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
5 der bylgja deim gøymde; som stein for dei ned i djupet.
The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Herre, di hand er prydd med kraft; Herre, di hand krys uvener sund.
Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dashes the enemy in pieces.
7 Med ditt høge namn slær du fiendar ned; din harm let du loga, då brenn dei som halm.
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrow those who rise up against thee. Thou send forth thy wrath, it consumes them as stubble.
8 For din ande stokk vatni i hop, som haugar sjøarne stod, i havdjupet bårorne storkna.
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up. The floods stood up as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 «Eg eltar deim, eg tek deim att, eg skiftar feng, » sa’ fienden. «Eg vil metta mitt mod, eg vil svinga mitt sverd, eg vil øyda deim ut.»
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall be satisfied upon them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Ut sende du din ande, og havet hulde deim; som bly deg sokk til botnar i ville vatnet djupt.
Thou did blow with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Kvar er, Herre, dei gudar som med deg kunde kappast? Kven er vel lik som du med heilag æra prydd? Kven er so ageleg og hev so fræge verk og store under gjort?
Who is like thee, O Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Då handi upp du hov, då gløypte jordi deim.
Thou stretched out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Mild som ein far du fylgjer det folket du hev frelst, du leider deim med handi sterk fram til den heilagdomen der du din heimstad hev.
Thou in thy loving kindness have led the people that thou have redeemed. Thou have guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.
14 Folki fær spurt det, og folnar; fælska tek deim som bur i Filistarland.
The peoples have heard, they tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Edom-jarlarne ottast for ilt, Moabs-hovdingarn’ støkk so dei skjelv, alle Kana’an-buarne kolnar.
Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed, the mighty men of Moab. Trembling takes hold upon them. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
16 Rædsla kjem på deim og rygd; når dei augnar din velduge arm, då tegjer dei stilt som ein stein, medan folket ditt, Herre, fer fram, med det folket fer fram som du vann deg.
Terror and dread falls upon them. By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, O Jehovah, till the people pass over whom thou have purchased.
17 Du tek deim inn og set deim ned på eigedomen din, det berget som du, Herre, tok til bustad åt deg sjølv, den heilagdomen du, min Gud, hev grunna med di hand.
Thou will bring them in, and plant them on the mountain of thine inheritance, the place, O Jehovah, which thou have made for thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 I alder og æva skal han råda, Herren min.»
Jehovah shall reign forever and ever.
19 For då hestarne åt Farao med vognerne og riddarane hans for ut i havet, då let Herren bårorne fløda i hop yver deim, medan Israels-folket gjekk turrskodde midt igjenom havet.
For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 Og Mirjam, vismøyi, syster åt Aron, tok trummeringen sin i handi, og alle kvendi gjekk etter henne med trummeslått og dans.
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 Og Mirjam song fyre og kvad: Syng um Herren, for stor er han, stor! Hest og ridar i havet han støytte.
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
22 Sidan førde Moses folket burt frå Raudehavet, og dei kom ut på Surheidi; der for dei tri dagar i øydemarkerne, og kunde ikkje finna vatn.
And 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.
23 So kom dei til Mara, men dei kunde ikkje drikka vatnet i Mara, av di det var beiskt. Difor kalla dei den staden Mara.
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 Og folket mukka mot Moses og sagde: «Kva skal me drikka?»
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 Då ropa han til Herren, og Herren synte honom eit tre; det kasta han upp i vatnet; då vart vatnet godt. Der sette han deim lov og rett, og der røynde han deim.
And he cried to Jehovah. And Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 Og han sagde: «Høyrer du vel etter ordi åt Herren, din Gud, og gjer det som rett er i hans augo, og lyder du bodi og held alle loverne hans, so skal du sleppa alle dei sjukarne, som eg hev lagt på egyptarane; for eg, Herren, vil vera lækjaren din.»
and he said, If thou will diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians, for I am Jehovah who heals thee.
27 Sidan kom dei til Elim. Der var det tolv kjeldor og sytti palmetre, og dei lægra seg der, frammed vatnet.
And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the waters.
