Keluaran 17
1 Kemudian berangkatlah segenap jemaah Israel dari padang gurun Sin, berjalan dari tempat persinggahan ke tempat persinggahan, sesuai dengan titah TUHAN, lalu berkemahlah mereka di Rafidim, tetapi di sana tidak ada air untuk diminum bangsa itu.
Obeying what Yahweh commanded, all the Israeli people moved from the Sin Desert. They/We traveled from one place to another. They/We camped at [a place named] Rephidim, but there was no water there for (the people/us) to drink.
2 Jadi mulailah mereka itu bertengkar dengan Musa, kata mereka: "Berikanlah air kepada kami, supaya kami dapat minum." Tetapi Musa berkata kepada mereka: "Mengapakah kamu bertengkar dengan aku? Mengapakah kamu mencobai TUHAN?"
So the people complained to Moses/me again, saying, “Give us water to drink!” Moses/I replied to them, “Why are you (criticizing/arguing with) me [RHQ]? And why are you trying to determine whether Yahweh [has the power to provide for you]?”
3 Hauslah bangsa itu akan air di sana; bersungut-sungutlah bangsa itu kepada Musa dan berkata: "Mengapa pula engkau memimpin kami keluar dari Mesir, untuk membunuh kami, anak-anak kami dan ternak kami dengan kehausan?"
But the people were very thirsty, and they continued to complain to Moses/me. They were saying things like “Why did you bring us out of Egypt?”, and “Did you bring us here to cause us and our children and livestock to die (from thirst/because we had no water to drink) [RHQ]?”
4 Lalu berseru-serulah Musa kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Apakah yang akan kulakukan kepada bangsa ini? Sebentar lagi mereka akan melempari aku dengan batu!"
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. He/I said, “(How shall I deal with these people?/I do not know how to deal with these people!) [RHQ] They are almost ready to [kill me by throwing] stones at me!”
5 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Berjalanlah di depan bangsa itu dan bawalah beserta engkau beberapa orang dari antara para tua-tua Israel; bawalah juga di tanganmu tongkatmu yang kaupakai memukul sungai Nil dan pergilah.
Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “Take some of the elders/leaders of the Israeli people with you and [tell the rest of] the people to follow you [to Sinai Mountain]. Take along the stick with which you struck the Nile [River].
6 Maka Aku akan berdiri di sana di depanmu di atas gunung batu di Horeb; haruslah kaupukul gunung batu itu dan dari dalamnya akan keluar air, sehingga bangsa itu dapat minum." Demikianlah diperbuat Musa di depan mata tua-tua Israel.
Listen carefully: I will stand in front of you on top of a [large] rock at the foot of the mountain. Strike the rock with your stick. [When you do that], water for the people to drink will flow out of the rock.” [When they/we arrived at the mountain], Moses/I did that while the Israeli elders were watching, [and water flowed from the rock].
7 Dinamailah tempat itu Masa dan Meriba, oleh karena orang Israel telah bertengkar dan oleh karena mereka telah mencobai TUHAN dengan mengatakan: "Adakah TUHAN di tengah-tengah kita atau tidak?"
Moses/I gave that place two names [in the Hebrew language: ] Massah, [which means ‘testing’], and Meribah, [which means ‘complaining’]. He/I gave it the name Massah because the Israeli people were testing Yahweh, saying “Is Yahweh really among us [and able to help us], or not?”, and he/I gave it the name Meribah because they were [continually] complaining.
8 Lalu datanglah orang Amalek dan berperang melawan orang Israel di Rafidim.
Then the descendants of the Amalek people-group came and fought against the Israeli people at Rephidim.
9 Musa berkata kepada Yosua: "Pilihlah orang-orang bagi kita, lalu keluarlah berperang melawan orang Amalek, besok aku akan berdiri di puncak bukit itu dengan memegang tongkat Allah di tanganku."
Moses/I said to Joshua, [who was one of our army/Israeli leaders], “Choose some men to go out and fight against the Amalek people-group tomorrow. I will stand on the top of the hill, holding the stick that God told me to carry.”
10 Lalu Yosua melakukan seperti yang dikatakan Musa kepadanya dan berperang melawan orang Amalek; tetapi Musa, Harun dan Hur telah naik ke puncak bukit.
So Joshua did what Moses/I told him to do. He took some men to fight against the Amalek people-group. [While they were fighting], Aaron, Hur, and Moses/I went up to the top of the hill [so that they/we could see the whole battle area].
11 Dan terjadilah, apabila Musa mengangkat tangannya, lebih kuatlah Israel, tetapi apabila ia menurunkan tangannya, lebih kuatlah Amalek.
Whenever Moses/I lifted up his/my arms, the Israeli men started to win [the battle]. And whenever he/I lowered his/my arms, the Amalek people-group started to win.
12 Maka penatlah tangan Musa, sebab itu mereka mengambil sebuah batu, diletakkanlah di bawahnya, supaya ia duduk di atasnya; Harun dan Hur menopang kedua belah tangannya, seorang di sisi yang satu, seorang di sisi yang lain, sehingga tangannya tidak bergerak sampai matahari terbenam.
But his/my arms became tired. So Aaron and Hur [rolled] a [large] stone for Moses/me to sit on. [While he/I was sitting on it], those two held up his/my arms, [one on one side and the other on the other side]. In that way, they kept his/my arms lifted up, and his/my arms held steady until the sun went down.
13 Demikianlah Yosua mengalahkan Amalek dan rakyatnya dengan mata pedang.
So Joshua and the men with him completely defeated the Amalek people-group, using their swords [to fight against them].
14 Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Tuliskanlah semuanya ini dalam sebuah kitab sebagai tanda peringatan, dan ingatkanlah ke telinga Yosua, bahwa Aku akan menghapuskan sama sekali ingatan kepada Amalek dari kolong langit."
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Write an account of this battle, and then read it to Joshua. [Also write that some day] I will completely get rid of the Amalek people-group.”
15 Lalu Musa mendirikan sebuah mezbah dan menamainya: "Tuhanlah panji-panjiku!"
Then Moses/I built a [stone] altar there and named it ‘Yahweh is [like] my flag’.
16 Ia berkata: "Tangan di atas panji-panji TUHAN! TUHAN berperang melawan Amalek turun-temurun."
He/I said, “Hold high Yahweh’s flag! Yahweh will continue to fight against the Amalek people-group (forever/in all future generations)!”
