< 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.
Depois toda a congregação dos filhos d'Israel partiu do deserto de Sin pelas suas jornadas, segundo o mandamento do Senhor, e acamparam em Rephidim; e não havia ali agua para o povo beber.
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?”
Então contendeu o povo com Moysés, e disseram: Dae-nos agua para beber. E Moysés lhes disse: Porque contendeis commigo? porque tentaes ao Senhor?
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?”
Tendo pois ali o povo sêde d'agua, o povo murmurou contra Moysés, e disse: Porque nos fizeste subir do Egypto, para nos matares de sêde, a nós e aos nossos filhos, e ao nosso gado?
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.”
E clamou Moysés ao Senhor, dizendo: Que farei a este povo? d'aqui a pouco me apedrejarão.
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.
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Passa diante do povo, e toma comtigo alguns dos anciãos de Israel: e toma na tua mão a tua vara, com que feriste o rio: vae
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.
Eis que eu estarei ali diante de ti sobre a rocha, em Horeb, e tu ferirás a rocha, e d'ella sairão aguas e o povo beberá. E Moysés assim o fez, diante dos olhos dos anciãos de Israel.
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?”
E chamou o nome d'aquelle logar Massah e Meribah, por causa da contenda dos filhos de Israel, e porquanto tentaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Está o Senhor no meio de nós, ou não?
8 And Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
Então veiu Amalek, e pelejou contra Israel em Rephidim.
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.”
Pelo que disse Moysés a Josué: Escolhe-nos homens, e sae, peleja contra Amalek: ámanhã eu estarei sobre o cume do outeiro, e a vara de Deus estará na minha mão.
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.
E fez Josué como Moysés lhe dissera, pelejando contra Amalek: mas Moysés, Aarão, e Hur subiram ao cume do outeiro.
11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed. But when he released them a little while, Amalek overcame.
E acontecia que, quando Moysés levantava a sua mão, Israel prevalecia: mas quando elle abaixava a sua mão, Amalek prevalecia.
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.
Porém as mãos de Moysés eram pesadas, por isso tomaram uma pedra, e a pozeram debaixo d'elle, para assentar-se sobre ella: e Aarão e Hur sustentaram as suas mãos, um d'uma banda, e o outra da outra: assim ficaram as suas mãos firmes até que o sol se poz
13 And Joshua put to flight Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.
E assim Josué desfez a Amalek, e a seu povo, ao fio da espada.
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.”
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés; Escreve isto para memoria n'um livro, e relata-o aos ouvidos de Josué; que eu totalmente hei de riscar a memoria d'Amalek de debaixo dos céus.
15 And Moses built an altar. And he called its name, ‘The Lord, my Exaltation.’ For he said:
E Moysés edificou um altar, e chamou o seu nome, o Senhor é minha bandeira.
16 “The hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord, will be against Amalek from generation to generation.”
E disse: Porquanto jurou o Senhor, haverá guerra do Senhor contra Amalek de geração em geração.
