< 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.
以色列全會眾都遵耶和華的吩咐,按着站口從汛的曠野往前行,在利非訂安營。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.
所以與摩西爭鬧,說:「給我們水喝吧!」摩西對他們說:「你們為甚麼與我爭鬧?為甚麼試探耶和華呢?」
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.
百姓在那裏甚渴,要喝水,就向摩西發怨言,說:「你為甚麼將我們從埃及領出來,使我們和我們的兒女並牲畜都渴死呢?」
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.
摩西就呼求耶和華說:「我向這百姓怎樣行呢?他們幾乎要拿石頭打死我。」
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.
耶和華對摩西說:「你手裏拿着你先前擊打河水的杖,帶領以色列的幾個長老,從百姓面前走過去。
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.
我必在何烈的磐石那裏,站在你面前。你要擊打磐石,從磐石裏必有水流出來,使百姓可以喝。」摩西就在以色列的長老眼前這樣行了。
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.
他給那地方起名叫瑪撒,又叫米利巴;因以色列人爭鬧,又因他們試探耶和華,說:「耶和華是在我們中間不是?」
8 And it came Amalek and it joined battle with Israel at Rephidim.
那時,亞瑪力人來在利非訂,和以色列人爭戰。
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.
摩西對約書亞說:「你為我們選出人來,出去和亞瑪力人爭戰。明天我手裏要拿着上帝的杖,站在山頂上。」
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.
於是約書亞照着摩西對他所說的話行,和亞瑪力人爭戰。摩西、亞倫,與戶珥都上了山頂。
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.
摩西何時舉手,以色列人就得勝,何時垂手,亞瑪力人就得勝。
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.
但摩西的手發沉,他們就搬石頭來,放在他以下,他就坐在上面。亞倫與戶珥扶着他的手,一個在這邊,一個在那邊,他的手就穩住,直到日落的時候。
13 And he defeated Joshua Amalek and people its to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
約書亞用刀殺了亞瑪力王和他的百姓。
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.
耶和華對摩西說:「我要將亞瑪力的名號從天下全然塗抹了;你要將這話寫在書上作紀念,又念給約書亞聽。」
15 And he built Moses an altar and he called name its Yahweh - [is] standard my.
摩西築了一座壇,起名叫「耶和華尼西」,
16 And he said that a hand on [the] throne of Yahweh war [will belong] to Yahweh with Amalek from generation generation.
又說:「耶和華已經起了誓,必世世代代和亞瑪力人爭戰。」
