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.
Depois toda a congregação dos filhos d'Israel partiu do deserto de Sin pelas suas jornadas, segundo o mandamento do Senhor, e acamparam em Rephidim; e não havia ali agua para o povo beber.
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?”
Então contendeu o povo com Moysés, e disseram: Dae-nos agua para beber. E Moysés lhes disse: Porque contendeis commigo? porque tentaes ao Senhor?
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?”
Tendo pois ali o povo sêde d'agua, o povo murmurou contra Moysés, e disse: Porque nos fizeste subir do Egypto, para nos matares de sêde, a nós e aos nossos filhos, e ao nosso gado?
4 Then Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
E clamou Moysés ao Senhor, dizendo: Que farei a este povo? d'aqui a pouco me apedrejarão.
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.
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Passa diante do povo, e toma comtigo alguns dos anciãos de Israel: e toma na tua mão a tua vara, com que feriste o rio: vae
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.
Eis que eu estarei ali diante de ti sobre a rocha, em Horeb, e tu ferirás a rocha, e d'ella sairão aguas e o povo beberá. E Moysés assim o fez, diante dos olhos dos anciãos de Israel.
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?”
E chamou o nome d'aquelle logar Massah e Meribah, por causa da contenda dos filhos de Israel, e porquanto tentaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Está o Senhor no meio de nós, ou não?
8 Then an army of the Amalek people came and attacked Israel at Rephidim.
Então veiu Amalek, e pelejou contra Israel em Rephidim.
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.”
Pelo que disse Moysés a Josué: Escolhe-nos homens, e sae, peleja contra Amalek: ámanhã eu estarei sobre o cume do outeiro, e a vara de Deus estará na minha mão.
10 So Joshua fought Amalek as Moses had instructed, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
E fez Josué como Moysés lhe dissera, pelejando contra Amalek: mas Moysés, Aarão, e Hur subiram ao cume do outeiro.
11 While Moses was holding his hands up, Israel was winning; when he let his hands rest, Amalek would begin to win.
E acontecia que, quando Moysés levantava a sua mão, Israel prevalecia: mas quando elle abaixava a sua mão, Amalek prevalecia.
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.
Porém as mãos de Moysés eram pesadas, por isso tomaram uma pedra, e a pozeram debaixo d'elle, para assentar-se sobre ella: e Aarão e Hur sustentaram as suas mãos, um d'uma banda, e o outra da outra: assim ficaram as suas mãos firmes até que o sol se poz
13 So Joshua defeated the people of Amalek with the sword.
E assim Josué desfez a Amalek, e a seu povo, ao fio da espada.
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.”
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés; Escreve isto para memoria n'um livro, e relata-o aos ouvidos de Josué; que eu totalmente hei de riscar a memoria d'Amalek de debaixo dos céus.
15 Then Moses built an altar and he called it “Yahweh is my banner.”
E Moysés edificou um altar, e chamou o seu nome, o Senhor é minha bandeira.
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.”
E disse: Porquanto jurou o Senhor, haverá guerra do Senhor contra Amalek de geração em geração.
