1 Derefter gik Moses og Aron hen og sagde til Farao: "Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan holde Højtid for mig i Ørkenen!"
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”
2 Men Farao sagde: "Hvem er HERREN, at jeg skulde adlyde ham og lade Israeliterne rejse? Jeg kender ikke noget til HERREN, og jeg vil heller ikke lade Israeliterne rejse!"
2 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, I will not let Israel go.”
3 De svarede: "Hebræernes Gud har mødt os; tillad os nu at drage tre Dagsrejser ud i Ørkenen og ofre til HERREN. vor Gud, for at han ikke skal slå os med Pest eller Sværd!"
3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.”
8 men alligevel skal I pålægge dem at lave lige så mange Teglsten som hidtil, I må ikke eftergive dem noget; thi de er dovne, og derfor er det, de råber op og siger: Lad os drage ud og ofre til vor Gud!
8 But the quota of bricks which they were making previously, you shall impose on them; you are not to reduce any of it. Because they are lazy, therefore they cry out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
14 Og Israeliternes Opsynsmænd, som Faraos Fogeder havde sat over dem, fik Prygl, og der blev sagt til dem: "Hvorfor stryger I ikke mere det fastsatte Antal Teglsten ligesom før?"
14 Moreover, the foremen of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not completed your required amount either yesterday or today in making brick as previously?”
21 sagde de til dem: "HERREN se til eder og dømme eder, fordi I har vakt Afsky mod os hos Farao og hans Tjenere og lagt dem et Sværd i Hånden til at dræbe os med!"
21 They said to them, “May the Lord look upon you and judge you, for you have made us odious in Pharaoh’s sight and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
