Exodus 17
1 And all the assembly of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their journeys, at the command of Jehovah; and they encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.
Vsa skupnost Izraelovih otrok je odpotovala iz Sinske divjine, po njihovih potovanjih, glede na Gospodovo zapoved in utaborili so se v Refidímu. Tam pa ni bilo nobene vode, da bi ljudstvo pilo.
2 And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water, that we may drink! And Moses said to them, Why do ye dispute with me? Why do ye tempt Jehovah?
Zakaj ljudstvo se je pričkalo z Mojzesom in govorilo: »Daj nam vode, da lahko pijemo.« Mojzes pa jim je rekel: »Zakaj se pričkate z menoj? Zakaj skušate Gospoda?«
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Ljudstvo pa je hlepelo po vodi in ljudstvo je mrmralo zoper Mojzesa ter reklo: »Zakaj je to, da si nas izpeljal iz Egipta, da z žejo ubiješ nas, naše otroke in našo živino?«
4 And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me!
Mojzes je vpil h Gospodu, rekoč: »Kaj naj storim temu ljudstvu? Skoraj so pripravljeni, da me kamnajo.«
5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy staff with which thou didst smite the river, take in thy hand, and go.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Pojdi naprej pred ljudstvom in s seboj vzemi Izraelove starešine, in svojo palico, s katero si udaril reko, vzemi v svojo roko in pojdi.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock on Horeb; and thou shalt strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.
Glej, stal bom pred teboj, tam na skali na Horebu, ti pa boš udaril skalo in iz nje bo pritekla voda, da bo ljudstvo lahko pilo.« In Mojzes je tako storil v očeh Izraelovih starešin.
7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
Ime kraja je imenoval Masa in Meríba, zaradi pričkanja Izraelovih otrok in ker so skušali Gospoda, rekoč: »Je Gospod med nami ali ni?«
8 And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Potem je prišel Amálek in se z Izraelom bojeval v Refidímu.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.
Mojzes je rekel Józuetu: »Izmed nas izberi može in pojdite ven in se bojujte z Amálekom. Jutri bom stal na vrhu hriba z Božjo palico v svoji roki.«
10 And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Józue je storil tako, kakor mu je rekel Mojzes in se bojeval z Amálekom. Mojzes, Aron in Hur pa so odšli na vrh hriba.
11 And it came to pass when Moses raised his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Mojzes držal svojo roko pokonci, da je prevladoval Izrael. Ko pa je svojo roko spustil, je prevladoval Amálek.
12 And Moses' hands were heavy; then they took a stone, and put [it] under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side, and one on that side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Vendar pa sta bili Mojzesovi roki težki. Vzela sta kamen in ga položila pod njega in sedel je nanj. Aron in Hur pa sta opirala njegovi roki, eden na eni strani, drugi pa na drugi strani, in njegovi roki sta bili stabilni do sončnega zahoda.
13 And Joshua broke the power of Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
In Józue je z ostrino meča porazil Amáleka in njegovo ljudstvo.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Zapiši to za spomin v knjigo in to ponovi v Józuetova ušesa, kajti jaz bom popolnoma izbrisal spomin na Amáleka izpod neba.«
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.
Mojzes je zgradil oltar in njegovo ime imenoval JAHVE–nisi,
16 And he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah; Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation!
kajti rekel je: »Ker je Gospod prisegel, da bo imel Gospod vojno z Amálekom od roda do roda.«
