Exodus 17
1 Then the whole congregation of Israel left the Desert of Sin, moving from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
| وَتَنَقَّلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مَرَاحِلَ، مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ سِينَ بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى أَنْ خَيَّمُوا فِي رَفِيدِيمَ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً لِلشُّرْبِ. | ١ |
2 So the people contended with Moses, “Give us water to drink.” “Why do you contend with me?” Moses replied. “Why do you test the LORD?”
| فَتَخَاصَمَ الشَّعْبُ مَعَ مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «أَعْطُونَا مَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ». فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَجَرِّبُونَ الرَّبَّ؟» | ٢ |
3 But the people thirsted for water there, and they grumbled against Moses: “Why have you brought us out of Egypt—to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”
| وَلَكِنَّ الشَّعْبَ كَانَ مُتَعَطِّشاً إِلَى الْمَاءِ، فَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتُمِيتَنَا وَأَوْلادَنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا عَطَشاً؟» | ٣ |
4 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, “What should I do with these people? A little more and they will stone me!”
| فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ: «مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يَكَادُونَ يَرْجُمُونَنِي» | ٤ |
5 And the LORD said to Moses, “Walk on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take along in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «تَقَدَّمِ الشَّعْبَ وَخُذْ مَعَكَ بَعْضَ شُيُوخِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ عَصَاكَ أَيْضاً الَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِها النَّهْرَ، | ٥ |
6 Behold, I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. And when you strike the rock, water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
| فَهَا أَنَا أَقِفُ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَكَ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فِي حُورِيبَ. اضْرِبِ الصَّخْرَةَ فَيَنْفَجِرَ مِنْهَا الْمَاءُ لِيَشْرَبَ الشَّعْبُ». وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ مُوسَى أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ |
7 He named the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us or not?”
| وَدَعَا اسْمَ الْمَوْضِعِ مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ الامْتِحَانُ وَالمُخَاصَمَةُ) نَتِيجَةً لِتَخَاصُمِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَامْتِحَانِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «هَلِ الرَّبُّ فِي وَسْطِنَا أَمْ لا؟» | ٧ |
8 After this, the Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
| وَخَرَجَ الْعَمَالِقَةُ وَحَارَبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. | ٨ |
9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with the staff of God in my hand.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «انْتَخِبْ بَعْضَ رِجَالِنَا وَامْضِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَمَالِيقَ. وَهَا أَنَا أَقِفُ غَداً عَلَى قِمَّةِ التَّلِّ وَعَصَا اللهِ فِي يَدِي». | ٩ |
10 Joshua did as Moses had instructed him and fought against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
| فَحَارَبَ يَشُوعُ الْعَمَالِقَةَ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى. وَصَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَحُورُ عَلَى قِمَّةِ التَّلَّةِ. | ١٠ |
11 As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed.
| فَطَالَمَا كَانَ مُوسَى رَافِعاً يَدَهُ، يَغْلِبُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَإذَا خَفَضَهَا يَفُوزُ الْعَمَالِقَةُ. | ١١ |
12 When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.
| 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 |
13 So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.
| فَهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ الْعَمَالِقَةَ وَجَيْشَهُمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. | ١٣ |
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as a reminder and recite it to Joshua, because I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «دَوِّنْ هَذَا فِي الْكِتَابِ لِلتَّذْكَارِ، وَاتْلُهُ عَلَى يَشُوعَ، لأَنَّنِي سَأَمْحُو ذِكْرَ الْعَمَالِقَةِ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ». | ١٤ |
15 And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.
| وَشَيَّدَ مُوسَى مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ دَعَاهُ «يَهْوَهْ نِسِّي» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الرَّبُّ رَايَتِي أَوْ عَلَمِي)، | ١٥ |
16 “Indeed,” he said, “a hand was lifted up toward the throne of the LORD. The LORD will war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
| قَائِلاً: «لأَنَّ يَداً ارْتَفَعَتْ ضِدَّ عَرْشِ الرَّبِّ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيُحَارِبُ الْعَمَالِقَةَ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ». | ١٦ |
