2 Mosebog 17
1 Og al Israels Børns Menighed drog fra den Ørk Sin, paa deres Rejser, efter Herrens Mund, og de lejrede sig i Refidim, og Folket havde intet Vand at drikke.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in Raphidin: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Og Folket kivedes med Mose, og de sagde: Giver os Vand, at vi kunne drikke; og Mose sagde til dem: Hvad ville I kives med mig for? hvorfor ville I friste Herren?
And the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and Moses said to them, Why do ye revile me, and why tempt ye the Lord?
3 Og Folket tørstede der efter Vand, og Folket knurrede imod Mose, og de sagde: Hvorfor har du ført os op af Ægypten, at lade mig og mine Børn og mit Kvæg dø af Tørst?
And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to slay us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 Da raabte Mose til Herren og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre ved dette Folk? om et lidet saa stene de mig.
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little while and they will stone me.
5 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak frem for Folket og tag med dig af de ældste af Israel, og tag din Stav, med hvilken du slog Floden, i din Haand, og gaa.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go before this people, and take to thyself of the elders of the people; and the rod with which thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and thou shalt go.
6 Se, jeg vil staa for dig der paa Klippen paa Horeb, og du skal slaa paa Klippen, saa skal der flyde Vand ud af den, at Folket maa drikke; og Mose gjorde saa for Israels ældstes Øjne.
Behold, I stand there before thou [come], on the rock in Choreb, and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.
7 Saa kaldte han Stedets Navn Massa og Meriba, for Israels Børns Kiv, og fordi de havde fristet Herren og sagt: Monne Herren være iblandt os eller ej?
And he called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not?
8 Og Amalek kom og stred imod Israel i Refidim.
And Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
9 Da sagde Mose til Josva: Udvælg os Mænd og drag ud, strid imod Amalek; jeg vil staa øverst paa Højen i Morgen, og Guds Stav skal være i min Haand.
And Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for thyself mighty men, and go forth and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I [shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] in my hand.
10 Og Josva gjorde, som Mose havde sagt ham om at stride imod Amalek; men Mose, Aron og Hur gik op øverst paa Højen.
And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or went up to the top of the hill.
11 Og det skete, naar Mose opløftede sin Haand, da fik Israel Overhaand; men naar han lod sin Haand synke, da fik Amalek Overhaand.
And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalec prevailed.
12 Men Mose Hænder bleve trætte, derfor toge de en Sten og lagde under ham, og han satte sig derpaa; og Aron og Hur holdt hans Hænder oppe, een paa den ene Side og een paa den anden Side; og hans Hænder bleve stadigt holdt oppe, indtil Solen gik ned.
But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.
13 Og Josva svækkede Amalek og hans Folk med skarpe Sværd.
And Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of the sword.
14 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Skriv dette til en Ihukommelse i Bogen, og indprent det i Josvas Øren; thi jeg vil visselig udslette Amaleks Ihukommelse under Himmelen.
And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak [this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Og Mose byggede et Alter og kaldte dets Navn: Herren er mit Banner.
And Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord my Refuge.
16 Og han sagde: Der er en udrakt Haand paa Herrens Trone; Herrens Strid skal være imod Amalek fra Slægt til Slægt.
For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
