Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their stages, according to the commandment of the LORD, and encamped in Rephidim; 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 Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said: 'Give us water that we may drink.' And Moses said unto them: 'Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye try 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 the people murmured against Moses, and said: 'Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?'
Sitivit ergo ibi populus prae aquae penuria, et murmuravit contra Moysen, dicens: Cur fecisti nos exire de Aegypto, ut occideres nos, et liberos nostros, ac iumenta siti?
4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying: 'What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone me.'
Clamavit autem Moyses ad Dominum, dicens: Quid faciam populo huic? adhuc paululum, et lapidabit me.
5 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and 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 will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.' And Moses did so in the sight of the elders 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 the name of the place was called Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tried the LORD, saying: 'Is the LORD among 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 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Venit autem Amalec, et pugnabat contra Israel in Raphidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua: 'Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God 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 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur 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 held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Cumque levaret Moyses manus, vincebat Israel: sin autem paululum remisisset, superabat Amalec.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until 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 discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Fugavitque Iosue Amalec, et populum eius in ore gladii.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.'
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Scribe hoc ob monumentum in libro, et trade auribus Iosue: delebo enim memoriam Amalec sub caelo.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Adonai-nissi.
Aedificavitque Moyses altare: et vocavit nomen eius, Dominus exaltatio mea, dicens:
16 And he said: 'The hand upon the throne of the LORD: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'
Quia manus solii Domini, et bellum Domini erit contra Amalec, a generatione in generationem.
