Exodus 17
1 And they set out all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel from [the] wilderness of Sin to journeyings their on [the] mouth of Yahweh and they encamped at Rephidim and there not [was] water to drink the people.
以色列子民全會眾按照上主的吩咐，由欣曠野起程，一站一站地前行，然後在勒非丁安了營。在那裏百姓沒有水喝，
2 And it quarreled the people with Moses and they said give to us water so we may drink and he said to them Moses why? are you quarreling! with me why? are you putting to [the] test! Yahweh.
因此百姓和梅瑟爭吵說：「給我們水喝罷! 」梅瑟回答他們說：「你們為什麼與我爭吵，為什麼試探上主﹖」
3 And it was thirsty there the people for water and it grumbled the people on Moses and it said why? this did you bring up us from Egypt to put to death me and children my and livestock my by thirst.
因百姓在那裏渴望水喝，就抱怨梅瑟說：「你為什麼從埃及領我們上來﹖難道要使我們，我們的子女和牲畜都渴死嗎﹖」
4 And he cried out Moses to Yahweh saying what? will I do to the people this yet a little and they will stone me.
梅瑟向上主呼號說：「我要怎樣對待這百姓呢﹖他們幾乎願用石頭砸死我! 」
5 And he said Yahweh to Moses pass on before the people and take with you some of [the] elders of Israel and staff your which you struck with it the River take in hand your and you will go.
上主回答梅瑟說：「你到百姓面前去，帶上幾個以色列長老，手中拿著你擊打尼羅河的棍杖去!
6 Here I [will be] standing before you there - on the rock at Horeb and you will strike the rock and they will come out from it waters and it will drink the people and he did so Moses to [the] eyes of [the] elders of Israel.
看，握要在你面前站在曷勒布那裏的磐石上，你擊打磐石，就有水流出來，給百姓喝。」梅瑟就在以色列長老眼前照樣作了。
7 And he called [the] name of the place Massah and Meribah on [the] quarrel of - [the] people of Israel and because put to [the] test they Yahweh saying ¿ [is] there Yahweh in midst our or? not.
他稱那地方為瑪撒和默黎巴，因為以色列子民在那裏爭吵過，並試探過上主說：「上主是否在我們中間﹖」與阿瑪肋克人作戰
8 And it came Amalek and it joined battle with Israel at Rephidim.
那時有阿瑪肋克人，在非勒丁同以色列人作戰。
9 And he said Moses to Joshua choose for us men and go out fight against Amalek tomorrow I [will be] standing on [the] top of the hill and [the] staff of God [will be] in hand my.
梅瑟向若蘇厄說：「你給我們選拔壯丁，明天去同阿瑪肋克人作戰，我手爭拿著天主的棍杖，站在這高岡頂上。」
10 And he did Joshua just as he had said to him Moses by fighting against Amalek and Moses Aaron and Hur they went up [the] top of the hill.
若蘇厄就照梅瑟吩咐他的作了，去同阿瑪勒克作戰；同時梅瑟、亞郎和胡爾上了那高岡頂上。
11 And it was just when he lifted up Moses hand his and it prevailed Israel and just when he gave rest hand his and it prevailed Amalek.
當梅瑟舉手的時候，以色列就打勝戰；放下手的時候，阿瑪勒克就打勝戰。
12 And [the] hands of Moses [were] heavy and they took a stone and they put [it] under him and he sat on it and Aaron and Hur they supported hands his from this one and from this one and it was hands his [were] steadiness until went the sun.
終於梅瑟的手舉疲乏了。他們就搬了塊石頭來，放在他下邊，叫他坐下，亞郎和胡爾，一邊一個托著他的手：這樣他的手舉著不動，直到日落的時候。
13 And he defeated Joshua Amalek and people its to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
於是若蘇厄用刀劍打敗了阿瑪勒克和他的人民。
14 And he said Yahweh to Moses write this reminder in the book and put [it] in [the] ears of Joshua for certainly I will wipe out [the] remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
上主向梅瑟說：「將這事寫在書上作為記念，並訓示若蘇厄，我要從天下把阿瑪勒克的記念完全消滅。」
15 And he built Moses an altar and he called name its Yahweh - [is] standard my.
梅瑟築了一座祭壇，給它起名叫「雅威尼息，」
16 And he said that a hand on [the] throne of Yahweh war [will belong] to Yahweh with Amalek from generation generation.
說「向上主的旌旗舉手，上主必世世代代與阿瑪勒克作戰。」
