¹Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, “I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

¹Da sang Moses og Israels barn denne sang for Herren: Jeg vil lovsynge Herren, for han er høit ophøiet; hest og mann styrtet han i havet.

²Yah 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.

²Herren er min styrke og lovsang, og han blev mig til frelse; han er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min fars Gud, og jeg vil ophøie ham.

³Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.

³Herren er en stridsmann, Herren er hans navn.

⁴He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

⁴Faraos vogner og hans hær kastet han i havet, og hans utvalgte vognkjempere druknet i det Røde Hav.

⁵The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

⁵Avgrunner skjulte dem, de sank som sten i dype vann.

⁶Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.

⁶Din høire hånd, Herre, er herliggjort i kraft, din høire hånd, Herre, knuser fiender.

⁷In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.

⁷Og i din høihets velde slår du dine motstandere ned; du slipper din vrede løs, den fortærer dem som strå.

⁸With 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.

⁸Og ved ditt åndepust hopet vannene sig sammen, bølgene stod som voller, dype vann stivnet i havets hjerte.

⁹The 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.’

⁹Fienden sa: Jeg vil forfølge dem, jeg vil innhente dem, jeg vil dele ut hærfang, jeg vil mette min sjel med dem; jeg vil dra mitt sverd, min hånd skal utrydde dem.

¹⁰You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹⁰Du blåste med din ånde, havet skjulte dem; de sank som bly i de veldige vann.

¹¹Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

¹¹Herre, hvem er som du blandt gudene? Hvem er som du herliggjort i hellighet, forferdelig å love, underfull i gjerning?

¹²You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

¹²Du rakte ut din høire hånd, jorden slukte dem.

¹³“You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.

¹³Du fører ved din miskunnhet det folk som du forløste; du leder dem ved din kraft til din hellige bolig.

¹⁴The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

¹⁴Folkene hører det, de skjelver; angst griper dem som bor i Filisterland.

¹⁵Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

¹⁵Da forferdes Edoms stammefyrster, redsel griper Moabs høvdinger, alle Kana'ans innbyggere forgår av angst.

¹⁶Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone— until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people pass over who you have purchased.

¹⁶Forferdelse og redsel faller over dem, ved din arms velde blir de målløse som sten, mens ditt folk drar frem, Herre, mens det folk drar frem som du har vunnet dig.

¹⁷You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

¹⁷Du fører dem inn og planter dem på din arvs berg, det sted du har skapt dig til bolig, Herre, den helligdom, Herre, som dine hender har grunnlagt.

¹⁸Herren skal være konge i all evighet.

¹⁹For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

¹⁹For da Faraos hester med hans vogner og menn for ut i havet, da lot Herren havets vann vende tilbake over dem, mens Israels barn gikk på det tørre midt igjennem havet.

²⁰Miriam 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.

²⁰Og profetinnen Mirjam, Arons søster, tok en tromme i sin hånd, og alle kvinnene gikk efter henne med trommer og dans.

²¹Miriam answered them, “Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

²¹Og Mirjam sang fore: Lovsyng Herren, for han er høit ophøiet; hest og mann styrtet han i havet.

²²Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

²²Så lot Moses Israel bryte op fra det Røde Hav, og de drog ut i ørkenen Sur; og tre dager drog de frem i ørkenen uten å finne vann.

²³When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah. Marah means bitter.

²³Så kom de til Mara; men de kunde ikke drikke vannet i Mara fordi det var beskt; derfor blev stedet kalt Mara*. / {* beskhet.}

²⁴The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

²⁴Da knurret folket mot Moses og sa: Hvad skal vi drikke?

²⁵Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh 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;

²⁵Og han ropte til Herren, og Herren viste ham et tre; det kastet han i vannet, og vannet blev godt. Der satte han dem lov og rett, og der prøvde han dem;

²⁶and he said, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh 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 Yahweh who heals you.”

²⁶og han sa: Dersom du hører på Herren din Guds røst, og gjør det som er rett i hans øine, og gir akt på hans bud, og holder alle hans forskrifter, da vil jeg ikke legge på dig nogen av de sykdommer som jeg la på egypterne; for jeg er Herren, din læge.

²⁷They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

²⁷Så kom de til Elim; der var tolv vannkilder og sytti palmetrær; og de slo leir der ved vannet.
