Keluaran 17
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 journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and encamped in Rephidim: 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?"
Wherefore the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why chide you with me? why do ye tempt 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 the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why [is] this [that] thou hast brought us 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? they are almost ready to 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 on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel: and thy rod, with which thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and 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 will stand before thee there on the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders 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 the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding 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.
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
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 us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God 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.
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, 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 held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek 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 Moses's hands [were] heavy; and they took a stone, and put [it] under him, and he sat upon it: and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 Akhirnya orang Amalek dikalahkan oleh Yosua.
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge 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 rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15 Lalu Musa membangun sebuah mezbah dan menamakannya "TUHAN adalah Panjiku."
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAH-nissi:
16 Kata Musa, "Peganglah tinggi-tinggi panji TUHAN! TUHAN berperang melawan orang Amalek untuk selama-lamanya!"
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn [that] the LORD [will have] war with Amalek from generation to generation.
