Exodus 17

ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ سِينٍ بِحَسَبِ مَرَاحِلِهِمْ عَلَى مُوجِبِ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ، وَنَزَلُوا فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ الشَّعْبُ.

And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

فَخَاصَمَ الشَّعْبُ مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «أَعْطُونَا مَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ.» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَ الرَّبَّ؟»

Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?

وَعَطِشَ هُنَاكَ الشَّعْبُ إِلَى الْمَاءِ، وَتَذَمَّرَ الشَّعْبُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا أَصْعَدْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتُمِيتَنَا وَأَوْلاَدَنَا وَمَوَاشِيَنَا بِالْعَطَشِ؟»

And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ بِهذَا الشَّعْبِ؟ بَعْدَ قَلِيل يَرْجُمُونَنِي».

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُرَّ قُدَّامَ الشَّعْبِ، وَخُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَعَصَاكَ الَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِهَا النَّهْرَ خُذْهَا فِي يَدِكَ وَاذْهَبْ.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.

هَا أَنَا أَقِفُ أَمَامَكَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فِي حُورِيبَ، فَتَضْرِبُ الصَّخْرَةَ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ الشَّعْبُ». فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى هكَذَا أَمَامَ عُيُونِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

وَدَعَا اسْمَ الْمَوْضِعِ «مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ» مِنْ أَجْلِ مُخَاصَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ تَجْرِبَتِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَفِي وَسْطِنَا الرَّبُّ أَمْ لاَ؟».

And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

وَأَتَى عَمَالِيقُ وَحَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ.

Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «انْتَخِبْ لَنَا رِجَالاً وَاخْرُجْ حَارِبْ عَمَالِيقَ. وَغَدًا أَقِفُ أَنَا عَلَى رَأْسِ التَّلَّةِ وَعَصَا اللهِ فِي يَدِي».

And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى لِيُحَارِبَ عَمَالِيقَ. وَأَمَّا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَحُورُ فَصَعِدُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ التَّلَّةِ.

So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْلِبُ، وَإِذَا خَفَضَ يَدَهُ أَنَّ عَمَالِيقَ يَغْلِبُ.

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ يَدَا مُوسَى ثَقِيلَتَيْنِ، أَخَذَا حَجَرًا وَوَضَعَاهُ تَحْتَهُ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ. وَدَعَمَ هَارُونُ وَحُورُ يَدَيْهِ، الْوَاحِدُ مِنْ هُنَا وَالآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. فَكَانَتْ يَدَاهُ ثَابِتَتَيْنِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ.

But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

فَهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَوْمَهُ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ.

And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اكْتُبْ هذَا تَذْكَارًا فِي الْكِتَابِ، وَضَعْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ يَشُوعَ. فَإِنِّي سَوْفَ أَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ».

And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

فَبَنَى مُوسَى مَذْبَحًا وَدَعَا اسْمَهُ «يَهْوَهْ نِسِّي».

And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah–nissi:

وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْيَدَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الرَّبِّ. لِلرَّبِّ حَرْبٌ مَعَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ دَوْرٍ إِلَى دَوْرٍ».

For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
