Exodus 17
1 And the children of Israel went on from the waste land of Sin, by stages as the Lord gave them orders, and put up their tents in Rephidim: and there was no drinking-water for the people.
Kemudian berangkatlah segenap jemaah Israel dari padang gurun Sin, berjalan dari tempat persinggahan ke tempat persinggahan, sesuai dengan titah TUHAN, lalu berkemahlah mereka di Rafidim, tetapi di sana tidak ada air untuk diminum bangsa itu.
2 So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking. And Moses said, Why are you angry with me? and why do you put God to the test?
Jadi mulailah mereka itu bertengkar dengan Musa, kata mereka: "Berikanlah air kepada kami, supaya kami dapat minum." Tetapi Musa berkata kepada mereka: "Mengapakah kamu bertengkar dengan aku? Mengapakah kamu mencobai TUHAN?"
3 And the people were in great need of water; and they made an outcry against Moses, and said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to send death on us and our children and our cattle through need of water?
Hauslah bangsa itu akan air di sana; bersungut-sungutlah bangsa itu kepada Musa dan berkata: "Mengapa pula engkau memimpin kami keluar dari Mesir, untuk membunuh kami, anak-anak kami dan ternak kami dengan kehausan?"
4 And Moses, crying out to the Lord, said, What am I to do to this people? they are almost ready to put me to death by stoning.
Lalu berseru-serulah Musa kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Apakah yang akan kulakukan kepada bangsa ini? Sebentar lagi mereka akan melempari aku dengan batu!"
5 And the Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take some of the chiefs of Israel with you, and take in your hand the rod which was stretched out over the Nile, and go.
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Berjalanlah di depan bangsa itu dan bawalah beserta engkau beberapa orang dari antara para tua-tua Israel; bawalah juga di tanganmu tongkatmu yang kaupakai memukul sungai Nil dan pergilah.
6 See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.
Maka Aku akan berdiri di sana di depanmu di atas gunung batu di Horeb; haruslah kaupukul gunung batu itu dan dari dalamnya akan keluar air, sehingga bangsa itu dapat minum." Demikianlah diperbuat Musa di depan mata tua-tua Israel.
7 And he gave that place the name Massah and Meribah, because the children of Israel were angry, and because they put the Lord to the test, saying, Is the Lord with us or not?
Dinamailah tempat itu Masa dan Meriba, oleh karena orang Israel telah bertengkar dan oleh karena mereka telah mencobai TUHAN dengan mengatakan: "Adakah TUHAN di tengah-tengah kita atau tidak?"
8 Then Amalek came and made war on Israel in Rephidim.
Lalu datanglah orang Amalek dan berperang melawan orang Israel di Rafidim.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, Get together a band of men for us and go out, make war on Amalek: tomorrow I will take my place on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.
Musa berkata kepada Yosua: "Pilihlah orang-orang bagi kita, lalu keluarlah berperang melawan orang Amalek, besok aku akan berdiri di puncak bukit itu dengan memegang tongkat Allah di tanganku."
10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Lalu Yosua melakukan seperti yang dikatakan Musa kepadanya dan berperang melawan orang Amalek; tetapi Musa, Harun dan Hur telah naik ke puncak bukit.
11 Now while Moses' hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hand go down, Amalek became the stronger.
Dan terjadilah, apabila Musa mengangkat tangannya, lebih kuatlah Israel, tetapi apabila ia menurunkan tangannya, lebih kuatlah Amalek.
12 But Moses' hands became tired; so they put a stone under him and he took his seat on it, Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and one on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down.
Maka penatlah tangan Musa, sebab itu mereka mengambil sebuah batu, diletakkanlah di bawahnya, supaya ia duduk di atasnya; Harun dan Hur menopang kedua belah tangannya, seorang di sisi yang satu, seorang di sisi yang lain, sehingga tangannya tidak bergerak sampai matahari terbenam.
13 And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the sword.
Demikianlah Yosua mengalahkan Amalek dan rakyatnya dengan mata pedang.
14 And the Lord said to Moses, Make a record of this in a book, so that it may be kept in memory, and say it again in the ears of Joshua: that all memory of Amalek is to be completely uprooted from the earth.
Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Tuliskanlah semuanya ini dalam sebuah kitab sebagai tanda peringatan, dan ingatkanlah ke telinga Yosua, bahwa Aku akan menghapuskan sama sekali ingatan kepada Amalek dari kolong langit."
15 Then Moses put up an altar and gave it the name of Yahweh-nissi:
Lalu Musa mendirikan sebuah mezbah dan menamainya: "Tuhanlah panji-panjiku!"
16 For he said, The Lord has taken his oath that there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Ia berkata: "Tangan di atas panji-panji TUHAN! TUHAN berperang melawan Amalek turun-temurun."
