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 sung this canticle to the Lord: and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath 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.
The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he is become salvation to me: he is my God and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I will exalt him.
3 Herren er rette hermannen: Herren heiter han.
The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name.
4 Vognern’ og heren åt Farao tok han og kasta i sjøen. Gjævaste kjemporn’ i Sevhavet sokk;
Pharao’s chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 der bylgja deim gøymde; som stein for dei ned i djupet.
The depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone.
6 Herre, di hand er prydd med kraft; Herre, di hand krys uvener sund.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy.
7 Med ditt høge namn slær du fiendar ned; din harm let du loga, då brenn dei som halm.
And in the multitude of they glory thou hast put down thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like stubble.
8 For din ande stokk vatni i hop, som haugar sjøarne stod, i havdjupet bårorne storkna.
And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depth were gathered together in the midst 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 and overtake, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay them.
10 Ut sende du din ande, og havet hulde deim; som bly deg sokk til botnar i ville vatnet djupt.
Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk 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 to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders?
12 Då handi upp du hov, då gløypte jordi deim.
Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and 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.
In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy habitation.
14 Folki fær spurt det, og folnar; fælska tek deim som bur i Filistarland.
Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.
15 Edom-jarlarne ottast for ilt, Moabs-hovdingarn’ støkk so dei skjelv, alle Kana’an-buarne kolnar.
Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.
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.
Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness of thy arm: let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.
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 shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 I alder og æva skal han råda, Herren min.»
The Lord shall reign 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 Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.
20 Og Mirjam, vismøyi, syster åt Aron, tok trummeringen sin i handi, og alle kvendi gjekk etter henne med trummeslått og dans.
So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth 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 she began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath 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 brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through 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 they came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of Mara, because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable to the place, calling it Mara, that is, bitterness.
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.
But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,
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.»
Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy healer.
27 Sidan kom dei til Elim. Der var det tolv kjeldor og sytti palmetre, og dei lægra seg der, frammed vatnet.
And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by the waters.
