Exodus 6

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.

Men HERREN svarede Moses: "Nu skal du få at se, hvad jeg vil gøre ved Farao! Med Magt skal han blive tvunget til at lade dem rejse, og med Magt skal han blive tvunget til at drive dem ud af sit Land!"

2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord.

Gud talede til Moses og sagde til ham: "Jer er HERREN!

3 And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.

For Abraham, Isak og Jakob åbenbarede jeg mig som Gud den Almægtige, men under mit Navn HERREN gav jeg mig ikke til Kende for dem.

4 And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt as strangers.

Eftersom jeg har oprettet min Pagt med dem om at skænke dem Kana'ans Land, deres Udlændigheds Land, hvor de levede som fremmede,

5 And I hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.

har jeg nu hørt Israeliternes Klageråb over, at Ægypterne holder dem i Trældon, og jeg er kommet min Pagt i Hu.

6 Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgment.

Derfor skal du sige til Israeliterne: Jeg er HERREN, og jeg vil udfri eder fra det Trællearbejde, Ægypterne har pålagt eder, og frelse eder fra deres Trældom og udløse eder med udrakt Arm og med vældige Straffedomme;

7 And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.

og så vil jeg antage eder som mit Folk og være eders Gud, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som udfrier eder fra Ægypternes Trællearbejde;

8 And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I [am] the Lord.

og jeg vil føre eder til det Land, jeg har svoret at ville skænke Abraham, Isak og Jakob, og give eder det i Eje. Jeg er HERREN!"

9 And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.

Moses kundgjorde nu dette for Israeliterne; men de hørte ikke på Moses, dertil var deres Modløshed for stor og deres Trællearbejde for hårdt

10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

11 Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land.

"Gå hen og sig til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, at han skal lade Israeliterne drage ud af, sit Land!"

12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel hearkened not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not eloquent.

Men Moses sagde for HERRENs Åsyn: "Israeliterne har ikke hørt på mig, hvor skulde da Farao gøre det, tilmed da jeg er uomskåren på Læberne?"

13 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Da talede HERREN til Moses og Aron og sendte dem til Farao, Ægyptens Konge, for at føre Israeliterne ud af Ægypten.

28 in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt;

Dengang HERREN talede til Moses i Ægypten,

29 then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Pharao king of Egypt whatsoever I say to thee.

talede HERREN til Moses således: "Jeg er HERREN! Forkynd Farao, Ægyptens Konge, alt, hvad jeg siger dig!"

30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how shall Pharao hearken to me?

Men Moses sagde for HERRENs Åsyn: "Se, jeg er uomskåren på Læberne, hvorledes skulde da Farao ville høre på mig?"
