Êxodo 17
1 Depois toda a congregação dos filhos d'Israel partiu do deserto de Sin pelas suas jornadas, segundo o mandamento do Senhor, e acamparam em Rephidim; e não havia ali agua para o povo beber.
And the children of Israel went on from the waste land of Sin, by stages as the Lord gave them orders, and put up their tents in Rephidim: and there was no drinking-water for the people.
2 Então contendeu o povo com Moysés, e disseram: Dae-nos agua para beber. E Moysés lhes disse: Porque contendeis commigo? porque tentaes ao Senhor?
So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking. And Moses said, Why are you angry with me? and why do you put God to the test?
3 Tendo pois ali o povo sêde d'agua, o povo murmurou contra Moysés, e disse: Porque nos fizeste subir do Egypto, para nos matares de sêde, a nós e aos nossos filhos, e ao nosso gado?
And the people were in great need of water; and they made an outcry against Moses, and said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to send death on us and our children and our cattle through need of water?
4 E clamou Moysés ao Senhor, dizendo: Que farei a este povo? d'aqui a pouco me apedrejarão.
And Moses, crying out to the Lord, said, What am I to do to this people? they are almost ready to put me to death by stoning.
5 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Passa diante do povo, e toma comtigo alguns dos anciãos de Israel: e toma na tua mão a tua vara, com que feriste o rio: vae
And the Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take some of the chiefs of Israel with you, and take in your hand the rod which was stretched out over the Nile, and go.
6 Eis que eu estarei ali diante de ti sobre a rocha, em Horeb, e tu ferirás a rocha, e d'ella sairão aguas e o povo beberá. E Moysés assim o fez, diante dos olhos dos anciãos de Israel.
See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.
7 E chamou o nome d'aquelle logar Massah e Meribah, por causa da contenda dos filhos de Israel, e porquanto tentaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Está o Senhor no meio de nós, ou não?
And he gave that place the name Massah and Meribah, because the children of Israel were angry, and because they put the Lord to the test, saying, Is the Lord with us or not?
8 Então veiu Amalek, e pelejou contra Israel em Rephidim.
Then Amalek came and made war on Israel in Rephidim.
9 Pelo que disse Moysés a Josué: Escolhe-nos homens, e sae, peleja contra Amalek: ámanhã eu estarei sobre o cume do outeiro, e a vara de Deus estará na minha mão.
And Moses said to Joshua, Get together a band of men for us and go out, make war on Amalek: tomorrow I will take my place on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.
10 E fez Josué como Moysés lhe dissera, pelejando contra Amalek: mas Moysés, Aarão, e Hur subiram ao cume do outeiro.
So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 E acontecia que, quando Moysés levantava a sua mão, Israel prevalecia: mas quando elle abaixava a sua mão, Amalek prevalecia.
Now while Moses' hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hand go down, Amalek became the stronger.
12 Porém as mãos de Moysés eram pesadas, por isso tomaram uma pedra, e a pozeram debaixo d'elle, para assentar-se sobre ella: e Aarão e Hur sustentaram as suas mãos, um d'uma banda, e o outra da outra: assim ficaram as suas mãos firmes até que o sol se poz
But Moses' hands became tired; so they put a stone under him and he took his seat on it, Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and one on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down.
13 E assim Josué desfez a Amalek, e a seu povo, ao fio da espada.
And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the sword.
14 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés; Escreve isto para memoria n'um livro, e relata-o aos ouvidos de Josué; que eu totalmente hei de riscar a memoria d'Amalek de debaixo dos céus.
And the Lord said to Moses, Make a record of this in a book, so that it may be kept in memory, and say it again in the ears of Joshua: that all memory of Amalek is to be completely uprooted from the earth.
15 E Moysés edificou um altar, e chamou o seu nome, o Senhor é minha bandeira.
Then Moses put up an altar and gave it the name of Yahweh-nissi:
16 E disse: Porquanto jurou o Senhor, haverá guerra do Senhor contra Amalek de geração em geração.
For he said, The Lord has taken his oath that there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation.
