2 "Sig til Israeliterne, at de skal vende om og lejre sig ved Pi Hakirot mellem Migdol og Havet; lige over for Bål Zefon skal I lejre eder ved Havet.
2 “Tell the sons of Israel to turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; you shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, opposite it, by the sea.
4 og jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte, så han sætter efter dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig på Farao og hele hans Krigsmagt, og Ægypterne skal kende, at jeg er HERREN!" Og de gjorde således.
4 Thus I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5 Da det nu neldtes Ægypterkongen, at Folket var flygtet, skiftede Farao og hans Tjenere Sind over for Folket og sagde: "Hvor kunde vi dog slippe Israeliterne af vor Tjeneste!"
5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his servants had a change of heart toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
9 Og Ægypterne, alle Faraos Heste og Vogne og hans Ryttere og øvrige Krigsfolk, satte efter dem og indhentede dem, da de havde slået Lejr ved Havet, ved Pi Hakirot over for Ba'al Zefon.
9 Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
10 Da nu Farao nærmede sig, så Israeliterne op og fik Øje på Ægypterne, der drog efter dem, og de grebes af stor Angst; da råbte Israeliterne til HERREN;
10 As Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel looked, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they became very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord.
11 og de sagde til Moses: "Er det, fordi der ingen Grave var i Ægypten, at du har fået os ud for at dø i Ørkenen? Hvad er det dog, du har gjort os, at du førte os ud af Ægypten?
11 Then they said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt?
12 Var det ikke det, vi sagde til dig i Ægypten: Lad os i Fred, og lad os blive ved at trælle for Ægypterne! Thi det er bedre for os at trælle for Ægypterne end at dø i Ørkenen."
12 Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Men Moses svarede Folket: "Frygt ikke! Hold blot Stand, så skal I se HERRENs Frelse, som han i Dag vil hjælpe eder til, thi som I ser Ægypterne i Dag, skal I aldrig i Evighed se dem mere.
13 But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.
17 Se, jeg vil forhærde Ægypternes Hjerte, så de følger efter dem, og jeg vil forherlige mig på Farao og hele hans Krigsmagt, på hans Vogne og Ryttere,
17 As for Me, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.
19 Guds Engel, der drog foran Israels Hær, flyttede sig nu og gik bag ved dem; og Skystøtten flyttede sig fra Pladsen foran dem og stillede sig bag ved dem
19 The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them.
20 og kom til at stå imellem Ægypternes og Israels Hære; og da det blev mørkt; blev Skystøtten til en Ildstøtte og oplyste Natten. Således kom de ikke hinanden nær hele Natten.
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night.
21 Moses rakte da sin Hånd ud over Havet, og HERREN drev Havet bort med en stærk Østenstorm, der blæste hele Natten, og han gjorde Havet til tørt Land. Og Vandet delte sig.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
25 og han stoppede Vognenes Hjul, så de havde ondt ved at få dem frem. Da sagde Ægypterne: "Lad os flygte for Israel, thi HERREN kæmper for dem imod Ægypten!"
25 He caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
27 Da rakte Moses sin Hånd ud over Havet; og Havet vendte tilbage til sit sædvanlige Leje ved Morgenens Frembrud, medens de flygtende Ægyptere kom lige imod det, og HERREN drev Ægypterne midt ud i Havet.
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it; then the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 Da vendte Vandet tilbage og overskyllede Vognene og Rytterne i hele Faraos Krigsmagt, som havde forfulgt dem ud i Havet; ikke en eneste af dem blev tilbage.
28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them remained.
31 Da så Israel den Stordåd, HERREN havde udført mod Ægypterne; og Folket frygtede HERREN, og de troede på HERREN og på hans Tjener Moses.
31 When Israel saw the great power which the Lord had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses.
