Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in Raphidin: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Igitur profecta omnis multitudo filiorum Israel de deserto Sin per mansiones suas, iuxta sermonem Domini, castrametati sunt in Raphidim, ubi non erat aqua ad bibendum populo.
2 And the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and Moses said to them, Why do you revile me, and why tempt you the Lord?
Qui iurgatus contra Moysen, ait: Da nobis aquam, ut bibamus. Quibus respondit Moyses: Quid iurgamini contra me? cur tentatis Dominum?
3 And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? have you brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Sitivit ergo ibi populus præ aquæ penuria, et murmuravit contra Moysen, dicens: Cur fecisti nos exire de Ægypto, ut occideres nos, et liberos nostros, ac iumenta siti?
4 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little while and they will stone me.
Clamavit autem Moyses ad Dominum, dicens: Quid faciam populo huic? adhuc paululum, et lapidabit me.
5 And the Lord said to Moses, Go before this people, and take to yourself of the elders of the people; and the rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and you shall go.
Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Antecede populum, et sume tecum de senioribus Israel: et virgam qua percussisti fluvium, tolle in manu tua, et vade.
6 Behold, I stand there before you [come], on the rock in Choreb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.
En ego stabo ibi coram te, supra petram Horeb: percutiesque petram, et exibit ex ea aqua, ut bibat populus. Fecit Moyses ita coram senioribus Israel:
7 And he called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord amongst us or not?
et vocavit nomen loci illius, Tentatio, propter iurgium filiorum Israel, et quia tentaverunt Dominum, dicentes: Est ne Dominus in nobis, an non?
8 And Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
Venit autem Amalec, et pugnabat contra Israel in Raphidim.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for yourself mighty men, and go forth and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I [shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] in my hand.
Dixitque Moyses ad Iosue: Elige viros: et egressus, pugna contra Amalec: cras ego stabo in vertice collis, habens virgam Dei in manu mea.
10 And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or went up to the top of the hill.
Fecit Iosue ut locutus erat Moyses, et pugnavit contra Amalec: Moyses autem et Aaron, et Hur ascenderunt super verticem collis.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalec prevailed.
Cumque levaret Moyses manus, vincebat Israel: sin autem paululum remisisset, superabat Amalec.
12 But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.
Manus autem Moysi 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 illius non lassarentur usque ad occasum solis.
13 And Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of the sword.
Fugavitque Iosue Amalec, et populum eius in ore gladii.
14 And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak [this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalec from under heaven.
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Scribe hoc ob monimentum in libro, et trade auribus Iosue: delebo enim memoriam Amalec sub cælo.
15 And Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord my Refuge.
Ædificavitque Moyses altare: et vocavit nomen eius, Dominus exaltatio mea, dicens:
16 For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
Quia manus solii Domini, et bellum Domini erit contra Amalec, a generatione in generationem.
