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 congregation of the sons of Israel journey from the wilderness of Sin, on their journeys, by the command of YHWH, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is 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 strive with Moses, and say, “Give us water, and we drink.” And Moses says to them, “Why do you strive with me? Why do you try YHWH?”
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 thirst for water there, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, “Why [is] this [that] you have brought us up out of Egypt to put us to death, also our sons and our livestock, 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 cries to YHWH, saying, “What do I do to this people? Yet a little, and they have stoned 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Pass over before the people, and take with you from [the] elderly of Israel, and take your rod in your hand, with which you have struck the River, and you have gone.
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 am standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you have struck on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.” And Moses does so before the eyes of [the] elderly 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 calls the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the strife of the sons of Israel, and because of their trying YHWH, saying, “Is YHWH in our midst 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 comes, and fights 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 says to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod 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 does as Moses has said to him, to fight with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur have gone up [to] the top of the height;
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 has come to pass, when Moses lifts up his hand, that Israel has been mighty, and when he lets his hands rest, that Amalek has been mighty.
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 the hands of Moses [are] heavy, and they take a stone and set [it] under him, and he sits on it, and Aaron and Hur have taken hold on his hands, one on this [side] and one on that [side]; and his hands are steadfast until the going in 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 weakens Amalek and his people by the mouth 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Write this, a memorial in a Scroll, and set [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I utterly wipe away 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 builds an altar, and calls its name YHWH-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 says, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war [is] to YHWH with Amalek from generation [to] generation.”
