Exodus 17
1 And so, the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, having set out from the desert of Sin in stages, according to the word of the Lord, made camp at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
イスラエルの子孫の會衆ヱホバの命にしたがひて皆シンの曠野を立出で旅路をかさねてレピデムに幕張せしが民の飮む水あらざりき
2 And arguing against Moses, they said, “Give us water, so that we may drink.” And Moses answered them: “Why argue against me? For what reason do you tempt the Lord?”
是をもて民モーセと爭ひて言ふ我儕に水をあたへて飮しめよモーセかれらに言けるは汝ら何ぞ我とあらそふや何ぞヱホバを試むるや
3 And so the people were thirsty in that place, due to the scarcity of water, and they murmured against Moses, saying: “Why did you cause us to go out of Egypt, so as to kill us and our children, as well as our cattle, with thirst?”
彼處にて民水に渇き民モーセにむかひて呟き言ふ汝などて我等をエジプトより導きいだして我等とわれらの子女とわれらの家畜を渇に死しめんとするや
4 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, saying: “What shall I do with this people? A little while more and they will stone me.”
是に於てモーセ、ヱホバに呼はりて言ふ我この民に何をなすべきや彼等は殆ど我を石にて撃んとするなり
5 And the Lord said to Moses: “Go before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. And take in your hand the staff, with which you struck the river, and advance.
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝民の前に進み民の中の或長老等を伴ひかの汝が河を撃し杖を手に執て往よ
6 Lo, I will stand in that place before you, on the rock of Horeb. And you shall strike the rock, and water will go forth from it, so that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
視よ我そこにて汝の前にあたりてホレブの磐の上に立ん汝磐を撃べし然せば其より水出ん民これを飮べしモーセすなはちイスラエルの長老等の前にて斯おこなへり
7 And he called the name of that place ‘Temptation,’ because of the arguing of the sons of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying: “Is the Lord with us, or not?”
かくて彼その處の名をマツサと呼び又メリバと呼り是はイスラエルの子孫の爭ひしに由り又そのヱホバはわれらの中に在すや否と言てヱホバを試みしに由なり
8 And Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
時にアマレクきたりてイスラエルとレピデムに戰ふ
9 And Moses said to Joshua: “Choose men. And when you go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.”
モーセ、ヨシユアに言けるは我等のために人を擇み出てアマレクと戰へ明日我神の杖を手にとりて岡の嶺に立ん
10 Joshua did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalek. But Moses and Aaron and Hur ascended to the top of the hill.
ヨシユアすなはちモーセの己に言しごとくに爲しアマレクと戰ふモーセ、アロンおよびホルは岡の嶺に登りしが
11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed. But when he released them a little while, Amalek overcame.
モーセ手を擧をればイスラエル勝ち手を垂ればアマレク勝り
12 Then the hands of Moses became heavy. And so, taking a stone, they placed it beneath him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur sustained his hands from both sides. And it happened that his hands did not tire until the setting of the sun.
然るにモーセの手重くなりたればアロンとホル石をとりてモーセの下におきてその上に坐せしめ一人は此方一人は彼方にありてモーセの手を支へたりしかばその手日の沒まで垂下ざりき
13 And Joshua put to flight Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.
是においてヨシユア刃をもてアマレクとその民を敗れり
14 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Write this, as a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Joshua. For I will wipe away the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは之を書に筆して記念となしヨシユアの耳にこれをいれよ我必ずアマレクの名を塗抹て天下にこれを誌ゆること无らしめんと
15 And Moses built an altar. And he called its name, ‘The Lord, my Exaltation.’ For he said:
斯てモーセ一座の壇を築きその名をヱホバニシ(ヱホバ吾旗)と稱ふ
16 “The hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord, will be against Amalek from generation to generation.”
モーセ云けらくヱホバの寶位にむかひて手を擧ることありヱホバ世々アマレクと戰ひたまはん
