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 sang this song to the LORD, and said, “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider 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 song. 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.
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;
He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. 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.
Your right hand, LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces.
7 Med ditt høge namn slær du fiendar ned; din harm let du loga, då brenn dei som halm.
In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
8 For din ande stokk vatni i hop, som haugar sjøarne stod, i havdjupet bårorne storkna.
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.
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 plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’
10 Ut sende du din ande, og havet hulde deim; som bly deg sokk til botnar i ville vatnet djupt.
You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like 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 you, LORD, amongst the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Då handi upp du hov, då gløypte jordi deim.
You stretched out your 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.
“You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your 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 of 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. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have 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 on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone, until your people pass over, LORD, until the people you have purchased pass over.
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 bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, LORD, which you have made for yourself to dwell in: the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
18 I alder og æva skal han råda, Herren min.»
The LORD will 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 the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle 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.
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.
21 Og Mirjam song fyre og kvad: Syng um Herren, for stor er han, stor! Hest og ridar i havet han støytte.
Miriam answered them, “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider 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.
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.
When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
24 Og folket mukka mot Moses og sagde: «Kva skal me drikka?»
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.
Then he cried to the LORD. The LORD 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.
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.»
He said, “If you will diligently listen to the LORD 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 the LORD who heals you.”
27 Sidan kom dei til Elim. Der var det tolv kjeldor og sytti palmetre, og dei lægra seg der, frammed vatnet.
They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
