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 children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down 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.
The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.
3 Herren er rette hermannen: Herren heiter han.
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
4 Vognern’ og heren åt Farao tok han og kasta i sjøen. Gjævaste kjemporn’ i Sevhavet sokk;
Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.
5 der bylgja deim gøymde; som stein for dei ned i djupet.
They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.
6 Herre, di hand er prydd med kraft; Herre, di hand krys uvener sund.
Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.
7 Med ditt høge namn slær du fiendar ned; din harm let du loga, då brenn dei som halm.
When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.
8 For din ande stokk vatni i hop, som haugar sjøarne stod, i havdjupet bårorne storkna.
By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid 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.»
Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.
10 Ut sende du din ande, og havet hulde deim; som bly deg sokk til botnar i ville vatnet djupt.
You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great 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 you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
12 Då handi upp du hov, då gløypte jordi deim.
When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for 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.
In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.
14 Folki fær spurt det, og folnar; fælska tek deim som bur i Filistarland.
Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.
15 Edom-jarlarne ottast for ilt, Moabs-hovdingarn’ støkk so dei skjelv, alle Kana’an-buarne kolnar.
The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.
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.
Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.
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.
You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.
18 I alder og æva skal han råda, Herren min.»
The Lord is King for ever 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, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.
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 woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and 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, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent 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.
Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was 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, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.
24 Og folket mukka mot Moses og sagde: «Kva skal me drikka?»
And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for 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 in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing 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 with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.
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 there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
