Исход 17
1 И воздвижеся весь сонм сынов Израилевых от пустыни Син по полком своим словом Господним и ополчишася в Рафидине. Не бяше же воды людем пити,
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 и хуляху людие Моисеа, глаголюще: даждь нам воду, да пием. И рече им Моисей: что хулите мя? И что искушаете Господа?
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 Возжаждаша же тамо людие воды и роптаху на Моисеа, глаголюще: вскую сие? Извел еси нас из Египта уморити нас и чада наша и скоты жаждею?
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 Возопи же Моисей ко Господу глаголя: что сотворю людем сим? Еще мало, и побиют мя камением.
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 И рече Господь к Моисею: пойди пред людьми сими, и поими с собою от старец людских, и жезл, имже пресекл еси море, возми в руку твою, и пойди:
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 Аз же стану тамо прежде пришествия твоего у камене в Хориве: и удариши в камень, и изыдет из него вода, и да пиют людие. Сотвори же Моисей тако пред сыны Израилевыми,
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 и прозва имя месту тому Искушение и Похуление, хулы ради сынов Израилевых, и занеже искусиша Господа, глаголюще: аще есть в нас Господь, или ни?
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 Прииде же Амалик и воева на Израиля в Рафидине.
Then the descendants of the Amalek people-group came and fought against the Israeli people at Rephidim.
9 Рече же Моисей ко Иисусу: избери себе мужы сильны и изшед ополчися на Амалика заутра: и се, аз стану на верху горы, и жезл Божий в руце моей.
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 И сотвори Иисус, якоже рече ему Моисей, и изшед ополчися на Амалика: Моисей же и Аарон и Ор взыдоша на верх горы.
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 И бысть егда воздвизаше Моисей руце, одолеваше Израиль: егда же опускаше руце, одолеваше Амалик:
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 руце же Моисеовы тяжки беша: и вземше камень, подложиша ему, и седяше на нем: Аарон же и Ор поддержаста руце ему, един отсюду, а другий оттуду: и быша Моисеови руце укреплены до захождения солнца:
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 и преодоле Иисус Амалика и вся люди его убийством меча.
So Joshua and the men with him completely defeated the Amalek people-group, using their swords [to fight against them].
14 Рече же Господь к Моисею: впиши сие на память в книги и вдай во ушы Иисусу, яко пагубою погублю память Амаликову от поднебесныя.
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 И созда Моисей олтарь Господу и прозва имя ему Господь Прибежище мое:
Then Moses/I built a [stone] altar there and named it ‘Yahweh is [like] my flag’.
16 яко рукою тайною ратует Господь на Амалика от рода в род.
He/I said, “Hold high Yahweh’s flag! Yahweh will continue to fight against the Amalek people-group (forever/in all future generations)!”
