وَتَنَقَّلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مَرَاحِلَ، مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ سِينَ بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى أَنْ خَيَّمُوا فِي رَفِيدِيمَ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً لِلشُّرْبِ. ١ 1
All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, starting according to the LORD’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
فَتَخَاصَمَ الشَّعْبُ مَعَ مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «أَعْطُونَا مَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ». فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَجَرِّبُونَ الرَّبَّ؟» ٢ 2
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?”
وَلَكِنَّ الشَّعْبَ كَانَ مُتَعَطِّشاً إِلَى الْمَاءِ، فَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتُمِيتَنَا وَأَوْلادَنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا عَطَشاً؟» ٣ 3
The people were thirsty for water there; so the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?”
فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ: «مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يَكَادُونَ يَرْجُمُونَنِي» ٤ 4
Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «تَقَدَّمِ الشَّعْبَ وَخُذْ مَعَكَ بَعْضَ شُيُوخِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ عَصَاكَ أَيْضاً الَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِها النَّهْرَ، ٥ 5
The LORD said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.
فَهَا أَنَا أَقِفُ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَكَ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فِي حُورِيبَ. اضْرِبِ الصَّخْرَةَ فَيَنْفَجِرَ مِنْهَا الْمَاءُ لِيَشْرَبَ الشَّعْبُ». وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ مُوسَى أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٦ 6
Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
وَدَعَا اسْمَ الْمَوْضِعِ مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ الامْتِحَانُ وَالمُخَاصَمَةُ) نَتِيجَةً لِتَخَاصُمِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَامْتِحَانِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «هَلِ الرَّبُّ فِي وَسْطِنَا أَمْ لا؟» ٧ 7
He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us, or not?”
وَخَرَجَ الْعَمَالِقَةُ وَحَارَبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. ٨ 8
Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «انْتَخِبْ بَعْضَ رِجَالِنَا وَامْضِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَمَالِيقَ. وَهَا أَنَا أَقِفُ غَداً عَلَى قِمَّةِ التَّلِّ وَعَصَا اللهِ فِي يَدِي». ٩ 9
Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out to fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.”
فَحَارَبَ يَشُوعُ الْعَمَالِقَةَ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى. وَصَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَحُورُ عَلَى قِمَّةِ التَّلَّةِ. ١٠ 10
So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
فَطَالَمَا كَانَ مُوسَى رَافِعاً يَدَهُ، يَغْلِبُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَإذَا خَفَضَهَا يَفُوزُ الْعَمَالِقَةُ. ١١ 11
When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
وَعِنْدَمَا دَبَّ التَّعَبُ فِي يَدَيْ مُوسَى أَخَذَ هَرُونُ وَحُورُ حَجَراً وَوَضَعَاهُ تَحْتَهُ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَسْنَدَ هَرُونُ وَحُورُ يَدَيْهِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِنْ جَانِبٍ. وَهَكَذَا بَقِيَتْ يَدَاهُ مَرْفُوعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ. ١٢ 12
But Moses’ hands were heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.
فَهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ الْعَمَالِقَةَ وَجَيْشَهُمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. ١٣ 13
Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «دَوِّنْ هَذَا فِي الْكِتَابِ لِلتَّذْكَارِ، وَاتْلُهُ عَلَى يَشُوعَ، لأَنَّنِي سَأَمْحُو ذِكْرَ الْعَمَالِقَةِ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ». ١٤ 14
The LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.”
وَشَيَّدَ مُوسَى مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ دَعَاهُ «يَهْوَهْ نِسِّي» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الرَّبُّ رَايَتِي أَوْ عَلَمِي)، ١٥ 15
Moses built an altar, and called its name “The LORD our Banner”.
قَائِلاً: «لأَنَّ يَداً ارْتَفَعَتْ ضِدَّ عَرْشِ الرَّبِّ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيُحَارِبُ الْعَمَالِقَةَ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ». ١٦ 16
He said, “The LORD has sworn: ‘The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”
