< 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.
Tad visa Israēla bērnu draudze aizgāja pa saviem gājumiem no Sina tuksneša uz Tā Kunga pavēli un apmeta lēģeri iekš Refidim, un tur nebija ūdens, tiem ļaudīm ko dzert.
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?”
Tad tie ļaudis bārās ar Mozu un sacīja: dod mums ūdeni, ka dzeram. Tad Mozus uz tiem sacīja: ko jūs ar mani baraties? Kāpēc jūs To Kungu kārdinājat?
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?”
Kad nu tiem ļaudīm tur pēc ūdens slāpa, tad viņi kurnēja pret Mozu un sacīja: kāpēc tu mūs esi izvedis no Ēģiptes, lai mirstam aiz slāpēm, mēs un mūsu bērni un mūsu lopi?
4 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, “What should I do with these people? A little more and they will stone me!”
Un Mozus brēca uz To Kungu un sacīja: ko lai es daru ar šiem ļaudīm? Daudz netrūkst, tad tie mani ar akmeņiem nomētās.
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.
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Mozu: ej tiem ļaudīm priekšā un ņem līdz Israēla vecajus un ņem savā rokā to zizli, ar ko tu to upi esi sitis un noej.
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.
Redzi, Es tur stāvēšu tavā priekšā uz klints pie Horeba, un tev būs uz to klinti sist, tad ūdens no tā iztecēs, tiem ļaudīm ko dzert. Un Mozus tā darīja priekš Israēla vecaju acīm.
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?”
Un tās vietas vārdu nosauca Masu un Meribu (kārdināšana un strīdus), Israēla bērnu strīdus dēļ, un tāpēc ka tie To Kungu bija kārdinājuši sacīdami: vai Tas Kungs ir mūsu vidū vai nav?
8 After this, the Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
Un Amaleks nāca un kāvās ar Israēli iekš Refidim.
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.”
Tad Mozus sacīja uz Jozua: izlasi mums vīrus un izej un kaujies pret Amaleku; rīt es stāvēšu pakalna galā, un Dieva zizlis būs manā rokā.
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.
Tad Jozuas darīja kā Mozus tam bija sacījis, un kāvās pret Amaleku; un Mozus un Ārons un Hurs kāpa tai pakalna galā.
11 As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed.
Un kamēr Mozus turēja savas rokas pacēlis, Israēls uzvarēja, un kad viņš savu roku nolaida, tad Amaleks uzvarēja.
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.
Bet Mozus rokas palika smagas; tad tie ņēma akmeni un lika to viņam apakšā, ka viņš uz tā sēdēja, un Ārons un Hurs turēja viņa rokas, viens vienā, otrs otrā pusē; tā viņa rokas palika stingras, kamēr saule nogāja.
13 So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.
Un Jozuas Amaleku un viņa ļaudis izdeldēja caur zobena asmeni.
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.”
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Mozu: raksti to par piemiņu grāmatā, un pavēli to Jozuam ausīs; jo Es izdeldēšu Amaleka piemiņu apakš debess.
15 And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.
Un Mozus uztaisīja altāri un nosauca viņa vārdu: Tas Kungs mans karogs,
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.”
Un sacīja: roka pacelta pret Tā Kunga goda krēslu! Tam Kungam būs karš pret Amaleku uz bērnu bērniem!
