< 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.
All the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] traveled from the wilderness of Cin [Clay], by their journeys, according to Adonai’s order, and encamped in Rephidim; but 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?
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses [Drawn out] said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Adonai?”
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?
The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?”
4 Da raabte Mose til Herren og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre ved dette Folk? om et lidet saa stene de mig.
Moses [Drawn out] cried to Adonai, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to 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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel [God prevails] with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and 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 will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb [Desert]. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses [Drawn out] did so in the sight of the elders of Israel [God prevails].
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?
He called the name of the place Massah [Testing], and Meribah [Quarreling], because the children of Israel [God prevails] quarreled, and because they tested Adonai, saying, “Is Adonai among us, or not?”
8 Og Amalek kom og stred imod Israel i Refidim.
Then Amalek [Man who licks up] came and fought with Israel [God prevails] in Rephidim.
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.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Joshua [Yah Salvation], “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek [Man who licks up]. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod 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.
So Joshua [Yah Salvation] did as Moses [Drawn out] had told him, and fought with Amalek [Man who licks up]; and Moses [Drawn out], Aaron [Light-bringer], and Hur 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.
When Moses [Drawn out] held up his hand, Israel [God prevails] prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek [Man who licks up] 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 Moses [Drawn out]’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron [Light-bringer] 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.
13 Og Josva svækkede Amalek og hans Folk med skarpe Sværd.
Joshua [Yah Salvation] defeated Amalek [Man who licks up] and his people with the edge 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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua [Yah Salvation]: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek [Man who licks up] from under the sky.”
15 Og Mose byggede et Alter og kaldte dets Navn: Herren er mit Banner.
Moses [Drawn out] built an altar, and called its name Adonai our Banner.
16 Og han sagde: Der er en udrakt Haand paa Herrens Trone; Herrens Strid skal være imod Amalek fra Slægt til Slægt.
He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Adonai will have war with Amalek [Man who licks up] from generation to generation.’”
