1 Kemudian seluruh umat Israel meninggalkan padang gurun Sin dan berpindah-pindah dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain sebagaimana diperintahkan TUHAN. Pada suatu waktu mereka berkemah di Rafidim, tetapi di situ tak ada air minum.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in Raphidin: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Lalu mereka mengomel kepada Musa dan berkata, "Berilah kami air minum." Musa menjawab, "Mengapa kamu mengomel dan mencobai TUHAN?"
And the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and Moses said to them, Why do you revile me, and why tempt you the Lord?
3 Tetapi orang-orang itu sangat kehausan dan mereka terus mengomel kepada Musa. Kata mereka, "Mengapa kaubawa kami keluar dari Mesir? Supaya kami, anak-anak kami dan ternak kami mati kehausan?"
And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? have you brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 Maka berserulah Musa kepada TUHAN, katanya, "Apa yang harus saya buat kepada orang-orang ini? Lihatlah, mereka mau melempari saya dengan batu."
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little while and they will stone me.
5 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Panggillah beberapa orang pemimpin dan berjalanlah bersama-sama dengan mereka mendahului bangsa itu. Bawa juga tongkat yang kaupakai untuk memukul Sungai Nil.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go before this people, and take to yourself of the elders of the people; and the rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and you shall go.
6 Aku akan berdiri di depanmu di atas sebuah batu besar di Gunung Sinai. Pukullah batu itu, maka air akan keluar sehingga orang-orang itu bisa minum." Musa berbuat begitu disaksikan oleh para pemimpin Israel.
Behold, I stand there before you [come], on the rock in Choreb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.
7 Tempat itu dinamakan Masa karena di tempat itu orang Israel mencobai TUHAN waktu mereka bertanya, "Apakah TUHAN menyertai kita atau tidak?" Tempat itu juga dinamakan Meriba karena di tempat itu orang Israel mengomel.
And he called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not?
8 Kemudian orang Amalek datang dan menyerang orang Israel di Rafidim.
And Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
9 Kata Musa kepada Yosua, "Pilihlah beberapa orang untuk memerangi orang Amalek. Besok saya akan berdiri di puncak bukit memegang tongkat yang Allah suruh bawa."
And Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for yourself mighty men, and go forth and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I [shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] in my hand.
10 Yosua melakukan apa yang diperintahkan Musa kepadanya. Ia pergi memerangi orang Amalek, sedang Musa, Harun dan Hur mendaki bukit sampai di puncaknya.
And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or went up to the top of the hill.
11 Selama Musa mengangkat tangannya, orang Israel menang. Tetapi kalau Musa menurunkan tangannya, orang Amaleklah yang menang.
And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalec prevailed.
12 Ketika Musa menjadi lelah, Harun dan Hur mengambil sebuah batu supaya Musa bisa duduk; Harun dan Hur berdiri di kiri dan di kanan Musa untuk menopang tangannya supaya tetap terangkat sampai matahari terbenam.
But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.
13 Akhirnya orang Amalek dikalahkan oleh Yosua.
And Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of the sword.
14 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Tulislah tentang kemenangan ini supaya tetap diingat. Katakan kepada Yosua bahwa Aku akan membinasakan orang Amalek."
And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak [this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Lalu Musa membangun sebuah mezbah dan menamakannya "TUHAN adalah Panjiku."
And Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord my Refuge.
16 Kata Musa, "Peganglah tinggi-tinggi panji TUHAN! TUHAN berperang melawan orang Amalek untuk selama-lamanya!"
For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
