Exodus 17
1 All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the LORD's commandment, and camped in Rephidim; but 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 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"
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 The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock 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 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."
Mojzes je vpil h Gospodu, rekoč: »Kaj naj storim temu ljudstvu? Skoraj so pripravljeni, da me kamnajo.«
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the staff in your hand with which you struck the Nile, 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 Look, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." Moses did so in the sight 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 He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD 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 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Potem je prišel Amálek in se z Izraelom bojeval v Refidímu.
9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God's staff 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 So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought 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 It happened, when Moses held up 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 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.
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 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
In Józue je z ostrino meča porazil Amáleka in njegovo ljudstvo.
14 The LORD said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial on a scroll, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky."
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 Moses built an altar, and called its name the LORD our Banner.
Mojzes je zgradil oltar in njegovo ime imenoval JAHVE–nisi,
16 He said, "A hand upon the throne of the LORD. The LORD 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.«
