Exodus

Chapter 17

1 AND the whole congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Seen, after their journeys, according to the command of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.

2 Wherefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said to him. Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you tempt the LORD?

3 And the people thirsted there for water; and they murmured against Moses, and said to him, Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

4 And Moses prayed to the LORD, saying. What shall I do with this people? They were almost ready to stone me.

5 And the LORD said to Moses. Go on before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and your staff with which you smote the river, take it in your hand and go.

6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the flinty rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the flinty rock, and there shall gush water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 And he called the name of the place Nassah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the children of Israel, and because they tested the LORD, saying, Let us see if the LORD is among us or not?

8 Then came Amalek to fight with Israel at Rephidim.

9 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose for yourself men, and go out, fight with Amalek tomorrow; and I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.

10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and he went to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hand, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalek prevailed.

12 But Moses' hands became tired; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, the one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13 And Joshua defeated Amalek with the edge of the sword.

14 Then the LORD said to Moses. Write this for a memorial in a book and place it before Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nasi:

16 For he said, Behold, as the LORD has sworn, the LORD will fight with Amalek from generation to generation.

出埃及記

第17章

1 以色列全會眾都[according]耶和華的吩咐,隨著[after]站口從汛的曠野起行,在利非訂安營;百姓沒有水喝。

2 所以,百姓[the people]與摩西相鬧[chide],說:「給我們水喝吧。」摩西對他們說:「你們為甚麼與我相鬧[chide]?為甚麼試探耶和華呢?」

3 百姓在那裏甚渴,要喝水,就向摩西發怨言,說:「你為甚麼將我們從埃及領出來,使我們和我們的兒女並牲畜都渴死呢?」

4 摩西就呼求耶和華說:「我向這百姓該作甚麼[What shall I do]呢?他們幾乎要拿石頭打死我。」

5 耶和華對摩西說:「你手裏拿著你先前擊打河水的杖,帶領以色列的幾個長老,從百姓面前走過去。

6 看哪[Behold],我必在何烈的磐石那裏,站在你面前。你要擊打磐石,從磐石裏必有水流出來,使百姓可以喝。」摩西就在以色列的長老眼前這樣行了。

7 他給那地方起名叫瑪撒,又叫米利巴;因為[because]以色列人嚷鬧[chiding],又因為[because]他們試探耶和華,說:「耶和華是在我們中間不是?」

8 那時,亞瑪力[Amalek]來在利非訂,和以色列[Israel]爭戰。

9 摩西對約書亞說:「你為我們選出人來,出去和亞瑪力人爭戰。明天我手裏要拿著神的杖,站在山頂上。」

10 於是約書亞照著摩西對他所說的話行,和亞瑪力人爭戰。摩西、亞倫,與戶珥都上了山頂。

11 摩西何時舉手,以色列[Israel]就得勝;何時垂手,亞瑪力[Amalek]就得勝。

12 但摩西的手發沉,他們就搬石頭來,放在他以下,他就坐在上面。亞倫與戶珥扶著他的手,一個在這邊,一個在那邊,他的手就穩住,直到日落的時候。

13 約書亞用刀[edge]驚散[discomfited]了亞瑪力王和他的百姓。

14 耶和華對摩西說:「我要將亞瑪力的名號從天下全然除掉[put out]了;你要將這話寫在書上作紀念,又念給約書亞聽。」

15 摩西築了一座壇,起名叫「耶和華.尼西」,

16 又說:「耶和華已經起了誓,耶和華[LORD]必世世代代和亞瑪力人爭戰。」
