Exodus
If the context is biblical, then this might be worth considering (though I hasten to add that "Utvandring" is not the title of the Book of Exodus in Norwegian!).
Even if it isn't, "exodus" carries the sense of a departure, especially of a large number of people. So it may still be worth thinking about. Otherwise, "emigration" is probably adequate.

: Even if the Norwegian name of the Book of Exodus does not use "utvandring", exodus is still the correct term in a biblical context.
