出エジプト記 17
1 イスラエルの子孫の會衆ヱホバの命にしたがひて皆シンの曠野を立出で旅路をかさねてレピデムに幕張せしが民の飮む水あらざりき
And all the assembly of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their journeys, at the command of Jehovah; and they encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 是をもて民モーセと爭ひて言ふ我儕に水をあたへて飮しめよモーセかれらに言けるは汝ら何ぞ我とあらそふや何ぞヱホバを試むるや
And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water, that we may drink! And Moses said to them, Why do ye dispute with me? Why do ye tempt Jehovah?
3 彼處にて民水に渇き民モーセにむかひて呟き言ふ汝などて我等をエジプトより導きいだして我等とわれらの子女とわれらの家畜を渇に死しめんとするや
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 是に於てモーセ、ヱホバに呼はりて言ふ我この民に何をなすべきや彼等は殆ど我を石にて撃んとするなり
And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me!
5 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝民の前に進み民の中の或長老等を伴ひかの汝が河を撃し杖を手に執て往よ
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy staff with which thou didst smite the river, take in thy hand, and go.
6 視よ我そこにて汝の前にあたりてホレブの磐の上に立ん汝磐を撃べし然せば其より水出ん民これを飮べしモーセすなはちイスラエルの長老等の前にて斯おこなへり
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock on Horeb; and thou shalt strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.
7 かくて彼その處の名をマツサと呼び又メリバと呼り是はイスラエルの子孫の爭ひしに由り又そのヱホバはわれらの中に在すや否と言てヱホバを試みしに由なり
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
8 時にアマレクきたりてイスラエルとレピデムに戰ふ
And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 モーセ、ヨシユアに言けるは我等のために人を擇み出てアマレクと戰へ明日我神の杖を手にとりて岡の嶺に立ん
And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.
10 ヨシユアすなはちモーセの己に言しごとくに爲しアマレクと戰ふモーセ、アロンおよびホルは岡の嶺に登りしが
And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 モーセ手を擧をればイスラエル勝ち手を垂ればアマレク勝り
And it came to pass when Moses raised his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 然るにモーセの手重くなりたればアロンとホル石をとりてモーセの下におきてその上に坐せしめ一人は此方一人は彼方にありてモーセの手を支へたりしかばその手日の沒まで垂下ざりき
And Moses' hands were heavy; then they took a stone, and put [it] under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side, and one on that side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 是においてヨシユア刃をもてアマレクとその民を敗れり
And Joshua broke the power of Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは之を書に筆して記念となしヨシユアの耳にこれをいれよ我必ずアマレクの名を塗抹て天下にこれを誌ゆること无らしめんと
And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
15 斯てモーセ一座の壇を築きその名をヱホバニシ(ヱホバ吾旗)と稱ふ
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.
16 モーセ云けらくヱホバの寶位にむかひて手を擧ることありヱホバ世々アマレクと戰ひたまはん
And he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah; Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation!
