Exodus 17
1 The whole community of the Israelites journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, following Yahweh's instructions. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
Sva izraelska zajednica po Jahvinoj zapovijedi krene dalje iz pustinje Sina. Utabore se kod Refidima. Tu nije bilo vode da narod pije.
2 So the people blamed Moses for their situation and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”
Zato narod zapodjene prepirku s Mojsijem. Vikali su: “Daj nam vode da pijemo!” A Mojsije im odgovori: “Zašto se sa mnom prepirete? Zašto kušate Jahvu?”
3 The people were very thirsty, and they complained against Moses. They said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt? To kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?”
Ali je narod žeđao za vodom, pa je mrmljao na Mojsija i govorio: “Zašto si nas iz Egipta izveo? Zar da nas žeđom pomoriš, nas, našu djecu i našu stoku?”
4 Then Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
“Što ću s ovim narodom!” - zazivao je Mojsije Jahvu. “Još malo pa će me kamenovati.”
5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people, and take with you some elders of Israel. Take with you the staff with which you struck the river, and go.
“Istupi pred narod!” - rekne Jahve Mojsiju. “Uzmi sa sobom nekoliko izraelskih starješina; uzmi u ruku štap kojim si udario Rijeku i pođi.
6 I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you will strike the rock. Water will come out of it for the people to drink.” Then Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
A ja ću stajati pred tobom ondje, na pećini na Horebu. Udari po pećini: iz nje će poteći voda, pa neka se narod napije.” Mojsije učini tako naočigled izraelskih starješina.
7 He called that place Massah and Meribah because of the Israelites' complaining, and because they had tested the Lord by saying, “Is Yahweh among us or not?”
Mjesto prozovu Masa i Meriba, zbog toga što su se Izraelci prepirali i kušali Jahvu govoreći: “Je li Jahve među nama ili nije?”
8 Then an army of the Amalek people came and attacked Israel at Rephidim.
Uto dođu Amalečani i zarate s Izraelcima kod Refidima.
9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some men and go out. Fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”
A Mojsije reče Jošui: “Odaberi momčad pa pođi i zapodjeni borbu s Amalečanima. Ja ću sutra stati na vrh brda, sa štapom Božjim u ruci.”
10 So Joshua fought Amalek as Moses had instructed, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Jošua učini kako mu je Mojsije rekao te zađe u borbu s Amalečanima, a Mojsije, Aron i Hur uzađoše na vrh brda.
11 While Moses was holding his hands up, Israel was winning; when he let his hands rest, Amalek would begin to win.
I dok bi Mojsije držao ruke uzdignute, Izraelci bi nadjačavali; a kad bi ruke spustio, nadjačavali bi Amalečani.
12 When Moses' hands became heavy, Aaron and Hur took a stone and put it under him for him to sit on. At the same time, Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one person on one side of him, and the other person on the other side. So Moses' hands were held steady until the sun went down.
Ali Mojsiju ruke napokon klonu. Zato uzeše kamen, staviše ga poda nj i on sjede, dok mu Aron i Hur, jedan s jedne, a drugi s druge strane, držahu ruke, tako da mu izdržaše do sunčanog zalaska.
13 So Joshua defeated the people of Amalek with the sword.
I Jošua oštricom mača svlada Amaleka i njegov narod.
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this in a book and read it in Joshua's hearing, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under the skies.”
Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Zapiši ovo u knjigu na sjećanje i utuvi u uši Jošui da ću ja spomen na Amalečane sasvim izbrisati pod nebom!”
15 Then Moses built an altar and he called it “Yahweh is my banner.”
Podiže zatim Mojsije žrtvenik i nazva ga: Jahve mi je stijeg!
16 He said, “For a hand was lifted up to the throne of Yahweh—that Yahweh will wage war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
“Jer”, reče, “Jahvin stijeg u ruku! Jahvin je boj protiv Amalečana od naraštaja do naraštaja!”
