Izlazak 17
1 I podiže se iz pustinje Sina sav zbor sinova Izrailjevih putem svojim po zapovjesti Gospodnjoj, i stadoše u oko u Rafidinu; a ondje ne bješe vode da narod pije.
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 I narod se svaðaše s Mojsijem govoreæi: daj nam vode da pijemo. A on im reèe: što se svaðate sa mnom? što kušate Gospoda?
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 Ali narod bješe ondje žedan vode, te vikaše narod na Mojsija, i govoraše: zašto si nas izveo iz Misira da nas i sinove naše i stoku našu pomoriš žeðu?
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 A Mojsije zavapi ka Gospodu govoreæi: šta æu èiniti s ovijem narodom? Još malo pa æe me zasuti kamenjem.
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 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: proði pred narod, i uzmi sa sobom starješine Izrailjske, i štap svoj kojim si udario vodu uzmi u ruku svoju, i idi.
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 A ja æu stajati pred tobom ondje na stijeni na Horivu; a ti udari u stijenu, i poteæi æe iz nje voda da pije narod. I uèini Mojsije tako pred starješinama Izrailjskim.
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 A mjesto ono prozva Masa i Meriva zato što se svaðaše sinovi Izrailjevi i što kušaše Gospoda govoreæi: je li Gospod meðu nama ili nije?
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 Ali doðe Amalik da se bije s Izrailjem u Rafidinu.
Then the descendants of the Amalek people-group came and fought against the Israeli people at Rephidim.
9 A Mojsije reèe Isusu: izberi nam ljude, te izaði i bij se s Amalikom; a ja æu sjutra stati na vrh brda sa štapom Božjim u ruci.
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 I uèini Isus kako mu reèe Mojsije, i pobi se s Amalikom; a Mojsije i Aron i Or izaðoše na vrh brda.
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 I dokle Mojsije držaše u vis ruke svoje, nadbijahu Izrailjci, a kako bi spustio ruke, odmah nadbijahu Amalièani.
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 Ali ruke Mojsiju otežaše, zato uzeše kamen i podmetnuše poda nj, te sjede; a Aron i Or držahu mu ruke jedan s jedne strane a drugi s druge, i ne klonuše mu ruke do zahoda sunèanoga.
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 I razbi Isus Amalika i narod njegov oštrijem maèem.
So Joshua and the men with him completely defeated the Amalek people-group, using their swords [to fight against them].
14 Potom reèe Gospod Mojsiju: zapiši to za spomen u knjigu, i kaži Isusu neka pamti da æu sasvijem istrijebiti spomen Amalikov ispod neba.
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 Tada naèini Mojsije oltar, i nazva ga: Gospod zastava moja.
Then Moses/I built a [stone] altar there and named it ‘Yahweh is [like] my flag’.
16 I reèe: što se ruka bješe podigla na prijesto Gospodnji, Gospod æe ratovati na Amalika od koljena do koljena.
He/I said, “Hold high Yahweh’s flag! Yahweh will continue to fight against the Amalek people-group (forever/in all future generations)!”
