Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God, and said, "I will sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Ved den Lejlighed sang Moses og Israeliterne denne Sang for HERREN: Jeg vil synge for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han i Havet!
2 JAH is my strength and my 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.
HERREN er min Styrke og min Lovsang, og han blev mig til Frelse. Han er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min Faders Gud, og jeg vil ophøje ham.
3 Jehovah is a warrior. Jehovah is his name.
HERREN er en Krigshelt, HERREN er hans Navn!
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he hurled into the sea. His elite officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,
5 The depths covered them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.
6 Your right hand, Jehovah, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Jehovah, shattered the enemy.
Din højre, HERRE, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HERRE, knuser Fjenden.
7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those who rise up against you. You sent forth your wrath. It consumed them like stubble.
I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Strå.
8 With the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood upright like a wall. The depths solidified in the heart of the sea.
Ved din Næses Pust dyngedes Vandene op, Vandene stod som en Vold, Strømmene stivnede midt i Havet.
9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
Fjenden tænkte: "Jeg sætter efter dem, indhenter dem, uddeler Bytte, stiller mit Begær på dem; jeg drager mit Sværd, min Hånd skal udrydde dem."
10 You blew with your breath. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Du blæste med din Ånde, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.
11 Who is like you, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders?
Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HERRE, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordåd, underfuld i dine Gerninger!
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.
13 "In your loving kindness you will lead the people that you have redeemed. You will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling.
Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.
14 When the peoples hear, they will tremble. Anguish will grip the inhabitants of Philistia.
Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified. Trembling will seize the leaders of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.
Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af Rædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.
16 Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, until your people pass over, Jehovah, until the people pass over whom you have purchased.
Skræk og Angst faldt over dem, ved din Arms Vælde blev de målløse som Sten, til dit Folk var nået frem, o HERRE, til Folket, du vandt dig, var nået frem.
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Jehovah, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Jehovah, which your hands have established.
du førte dem frem og planted dem i din Arvelods Bjerge, på det Sted du beredte dig til Bolig, HERRE, i den Helligdom, Herre, som dine Hænder grundfæsted.
18 Jehovah shall reign forever and ever."
HERREN er Konge i al Evighed!
19 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 on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Thi da Faraos Heste med hans Vogne og Ryttere drog ud i Havet, lod HERREN Havets Vande strømme tilbage over dem, medens Israeliterne gik gennem Havet på tør Bund.
20 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.
Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,
21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."
og Mirjam sang for: Syng for HERREN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og Rytter styrted han i Havet!
22 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.
Derpå lod Moses Israel bryde op fra det røde Hav, og de drog ud i Sjurs Ørken, og de vandrede tre Dage i Ørkenen uden at finde Vand.
23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Så nåede de Mara, men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet for dets bitre Smag, thi det var bittert; derfor kaldte man Stedet Mara.
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
Da knurrede Folket mod Moses og sagde: "Hvad skal vi drikke?"
25 Then he cried to Jehovah. Jehovah 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;
Men han råbte til HERREN, og da viste HERREN ham en bestemt Slags Træ; og da han kastede det i Vandet, blev Vandet drikkeligt. Der gav han dem Bestemmelser om Lov og Ret, og der satte han dem på Prøve.
26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, 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 Jehovah who heals you.
Og han sagde: "Hvis du vil høre på HERREN din Guds Røst og gøre, hvad der er ret i hans Øjne, og lytte til hans Bud og holde dig alle hans Bestemmelser efterrettelig, så vil jeg ikke bringe nogen af de Sygdomme over dig, som jeg bragte over Ægypterne, men jeg HERREN er din Læge!"
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they camped there by the waters.
Derpå kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.
