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.
igitur profecta omnis multitudo filiorum Israhel de deserto Sin per mansiones suas iuxta sermonem Domini castrametata est in Raphidim ubi non erat aqua ad bibendum populo
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?”
qui iurgatus contra Mosen ait da nobis aquam ut bibamus quibus respondit Moses quid iurgamini contra me cur temptatis Dominum
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?”
sitivit ergo populus ibi pro aquae penuria et murmuravit contra Mosen dicens cur nos exire fecisti de Aegypto ut occideres et nos et liberos nostros ac iumenta siti
4 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, “What should I do with these people? A little more and they will stone me!”
clamavit autem Moses ad Dominum dicens quid faciam populo huic adhuc pauxillum et lapidabunt me
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.
ait Dominus ad Mosen antecede populum et sume tecum de senibus Israhel et virgam qua percussisti fluvium tolle in manu tua et vade
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.
en ego stabo coram te ibi super petram Horeb percutiesque petram et exibit ex ea aqua ut bibat populus fecit Moses ita coram senibus Israhel
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?”
et vocavit nomen loci illius Temptatio propter iurgium filiorum Israhel et quia temptaverunt Dominum dicentes estne Dominus in nobis an non
8 After this, the Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
venit autem Amalech et pugnabat contra Israhel in Raphidim
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.”
dixitque Moses ad Iosue elige viros et egressus pugna contra Amalech cras ego stabo in vertice collis habens virgam Dei in manu mea
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.
fecit Iosue ut locutus ei erat Moses et pugnavit contra Amalech Moses autem et Aaron et Hur ascenderunt super verticem collis
11 As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed.
cumque levaret Moses manus vincebat Israhel sin autem paululum remisisset superabat Amalech
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.
manus autem Mosi erant graves sumentes igitur lapidem posuerunt subter eum in quo sedit Aaron autem et Hur sustentabant manus eius ex utraque parte et factum est ut manus ipsius non lassarentur usque ad occasum solis
13 So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.
fugavitque Iosue Amalech et populum eius in ore gladii
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.”
dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen scribe hoc ob monumentum in libro et trade auribus Iosue delebo enim memoriam Amalech sub caelo
15 And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.
aedificavitque Moses altare et vocavit nomen eius Dominus exaltatio mea dicens
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.”
quia manus solii Domini et bellum Dei erit contra Amalech a generatione in generationem
