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 sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider has he 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 song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; 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;
Pharaoh’s chariots and his host has he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 der bylgja deim gøymde; som stein for dei ned i djupet.
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Herre, di hand er prydd med kraft; Herre, di hand krys uvener sund.
Your right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 Med ditt høge namn slær du fiendar ned; din harm let du loga, då brenn dei som halm.
And in the greatness of your excellency you have overthrown them that rose up against you: you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 For din ande stokk vatni i hop, som haugar sjøarne stod, i havdjupet bårorne storkna.
And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths 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 spoil; my lust shall be satisfied on them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Ut sende du din ande, og havet hulde deim; som bly deg sokk til botnar i ville vatnet djupt.
You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them: they sank 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 you, O LORD, among 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 mercy have led forth the people which 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 people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Edom-jarlarne ottast for ilt, Moabs-hovdingarn’ støkk so dei skjelv, alle Kana’an-buarne kolnar.
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold on them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt 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.
Fear and dread shall fall on them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still as a stone; till your people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which you have purchased.
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 shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for you to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which your 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 the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel went 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.
And 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.
And Miriam answered them, Sing you to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has he 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.
So Moses brought Israel 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.
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
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.
And he cried to the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved 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 said, If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases on you, which I have brought on the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that heals you.
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 were twelve wells of water, and three score and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
