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.
Toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel viajou do deserto de Pecado, começando segundo o mandamento de Javé, e acampados em Rephidim; mas não havia água para o povo beber.
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?
Portanto, o povo discutiu com Moisés e disse: “Dê-nos água para beber”. Moisés disse a eles: “Por que discutem comigo? Por que vocês testam Yahweh”?
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?
O povo estava sedento de água; então o povo murmurou contra Moisés, e disse: “Por que nos trouxeste para fora do Egito, para nos matar, nossos filhos e nosso gado com sede”?
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.
Moisés gritou a Javé, dizendo: “O que devo fazer com essas pessoas? Eles estão quase prontos para me apedrejar”.
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.
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Caminhe diante do povo, leve consigo os anciãos de Israel, pegue a vara na mão com a qual você bateu no Nilo e vá.
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.
Eis que estarei ali diante de vós na rocha de Horeb. Baterás na rocha, e dela sairá água, para que o povo possa beber”. Moisés o fez diante dos olhos dos anciãos de 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?
Ele chamou o nome do lugar Massah, e Meribah, porque os filhos de Israel brigaram, e porque testaram Yahweh, dizendo: “Yahweh está entre nós, ou não?
8 Then Amalek came and made war on Israel in Rephidim.
Então Amalek veio e lutou com Israel em Rephidim.
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.
Moisés disse a Josué: “Escolha homens para nós, e saia para lutar com Amalek”. Amanhã estarei no topo da colina com a vara de Deus na mão”.
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.
Então Josué fez como Moisés lhe havia dito, e lutou com Amalek; e Moisés, Arão e Hur subiram ao topo da colina.
11 Now while Moses' hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hand go down, Amalek became the stronger.
Quando Moisés ergueu sua mão, Israel prevaleceu. Quando ele soltou sua mão, Amalek prevaleceu.
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.
Mas as mãos de Moisés eram pesadas; então eles pegaram uma pedra e a colocaram debaixo dele, e ele se sentou sobre ela. Aarão e Hur levantaram suas mãos, uma de um lado e a outra do outro. Suas mãos estavam firmes até o pôr-do-sol.
13 And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the sword.
Josué derrotou Amalek e seu povo com o fio da espada.
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.
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Escreva isto para um memorial em um livro e ensaie nos ouvidos de Josué: que eu apagarei completamente a memória de Amalek de debaixo do céu”.
15 Then Moses put up an altar and gave it the name of Yahweh-nissi:
Moisés construiu um altar, e chamou seu nome de “Yahweh our Banner”.
16 For he said, The Lord has taken his oath that there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Ele disse: “Yahweh jurou: 'Yahweh terá guerra com Amalek de geração em geração'”.
