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 assembly of the sons of Israel set forward out of the desert of Sin, by their removings, at the bidding of Yahweh, —and encamped in Rephidim, 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 found fault with Moses, and said—Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why should ye find fault with me? Why should ye put Yahweh to the proof?
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?
So the people thirsted, there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, —and said—Wherefore is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill me and my sons and my 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 made outcry unto Yahweh saying, What am I to do, with this people? Yet a little, 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Pass over before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel, —thy staff also wherewith thou didst smite the river, take thou in thy hand, so shalt thou go thy way.
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 me! standing before thee, there upon the rock in Horeb, then shalt thou smite the rock and there shall come forth therefrom water, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders 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?
So he called the name of the place, Massah, and Meribah, —because of the fault-finding of the sons of Israel, and because of their putting Yahweh to the proof, saying, Is Yahweh in our midst or is he not?
8 Og Amalek kom og stred imod Israel i Refidim.
Then came in Amalek, —and fought with Israel, 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.
And Moses said unto Joshua—Choose for us men, and go forth, fight with Amalek, —to-morrow, am, I, stationing myself upon the top of the hill, with the staff of God 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 did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek, —and Moses, Aaron 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.
And it shall be when Moses shall lift on high his hands, then shall Israel prevail, but when he shall let down his hands, then shall Amalek prevail.
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 weary, so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat thereupon, —and, Aaron and Hur, upheld his hands—on this side, one and on that side, one, and so his hands became steady, until the going in of the sun.
13 Og Josva svækkede Amalek og hans Folk med skarpe Sværd.
So Joshua overthrew Amalek 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Write this as a remembrancer in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua—that I will, wipe out, the remembrance of Amalek, from under the heavens.
15 Og Mose byggede et Alter og kaldte dets Navn: Herren er mit Banner.
And Moses built an altar, —and called the name thereof, Yahweh-nissi.
16 Og han sagde: Der er en udrakt Haand paa Herrens Trone; Herrens Strid skal være imod Amalek fra Slægt til Slægt.
And he said—Because of a hand against the throne of Yah, Yahweh hath war with Amalek, —from generation to generation!
