اَلْخُرُوجُ 17
| ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ سِينٍ بِحَسَبِ مَرَاحِلِهِمْ عَلَى مُوجِبِ أَمْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَزَلُوا فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. | ١ 1 |
And so, the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, having set out from the desert of Sin in stages, according to the word of the Lord, made camp at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
| فَخَاصَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «أَعْطُونَا مَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ؟» | ٢ 2 |
And arguing against Moses, they said, “Give us water, so that we may drink.” And Moses answered them: “Why argue against me? For what reason do you tempt the Lord?”
| وَعَطِشَ هُنَاكَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ، وَتَذَمَّرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا أَصْعَدْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتُمِيتَنَا وَأَوْلَادَنَا وَمَوَاشِيَنَا بِٱلْعَطَشِ؟» | ٣ 3 |
And so the people were thirsty in that place, due to the scarcity of water, and they murmured against Moses, saying: “Why did you cause us to go out of Egypt, so as to kill us and our children, as well as our cattle, with thirst?”
| فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَرْجُمُونَنِي». | ٤ 4 |
Then Moses cried out to the Lord, saying: “What shall I do with this people? A little while more and they will stone me.”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُرَّ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَخُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَعَصَاكَ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِهَا ٱلنَّهْرَ خُذْهَا فِي يَدِكَ وَٱذْهَبْ. | ٥ 5 |
And the Lord said to Moses: “Go before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. And take in your hand the staff, with which you struck the river, and advance.
| هَا أَنَا أَقِفُ أَمَامَكَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ فِي حُورِيبَ، فَتَضْرِبُ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ». فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى هَكَذَا أَمَامَ عُيُونِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
Lo, I will stand in that place before you, on the rock of Horeb. And you shall strike the rock, and water will go forth from it, so that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
| وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ» مِنْ أَجْلِ مُخَاصَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ تَجْرِبَتِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَفِي وَسَطِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَمْ لَا؟». | ٧ 7 |
And he called the name of that place ‘Temptation,’ because of the arguing of the sons of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying: “Is the Lord with us, or not?”
| وَأَتَى عَمَالِيقُ وَحَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. | ٨ 8 |
And Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْتَخِبْ لَنَا رِجَالًا وَٱخْرُجْ حَارِبْ عَمَالِيقَ. وَغَدًا أَقِفُ أَنَا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ وَعَصَا ٱللهِ فِي يَدِي». | ٩ 9 |
And Moses said to Joshua: “Choose men. And when you go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.”
| فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى لِيُحَارِبَ عَمَالِيقَ. وَأَمَّا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَحُورُ فَصَعِدُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Joshua did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalek. But Moses and Aaron and Hur ascended to the top of the hill.
| وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْلِبُ، وَإِذَا خَفَضَ يَدَهُ أَنَّ عَمَالِيقَ يَغْلِبُ. | ١١ 11 |
And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed. But when he released them a little while, Amalek overcame.
| فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ يَدَا مُوسَى ثَقِيلَتَيْنِ، أَخَذَا حَجَرًا وَوَضَعَاهُ تَحْتَهُ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ. وَدَعَمَ هَارُونُ وَحُورُ يَدَيْهِ، ٱلْوَاحِدُ مِنْ هُنَا وَٱلْآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. فَكَانَتْ يَدَاهُ ثَابِتَتَيْنِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then the hands of Moses became heavy. And so, taking a stone, they placed it beneath him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur sustained his hands from both sides. And it happened that his hands did not tire until the setting of the sun.
| فَهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَوْمَهُ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And Joshua put to flight Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱكْتُبْ هَذَا تَذْكَارًا فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ، وَضَعْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ يَشُوعَ. فَإِنِّي سَوْفَ أَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Write this, as a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Joshua. For I will wipe away the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
| فَبَنَى مُوسَى مَذْبَحًا وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «يَهْوَهْ نِسِّي». | ١٥ 15 |
And Moses built an altar. And he called its name, ‘The Lord, my Exaltation.’ For he said:
| وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلْيَدَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِلرَّبِّ حَرْبٌ مَعَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ دَوْرٍ إِلَى دَوْرٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
“The hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord, will be against Amalek from generation to generation.”
