출애굽기 17

1이스라엘 자손의 온 회중이 여호와의 명령대로 신 광야에서 떠나 그 노정대로 행하여 르비딤에 장막을 쳤으나 백성이 마실 물이 없는지라 2백성이 모세와 다투어 가로되 우리에게 물을 주어 마시게 하라 모세가 그들에게 이르되 너희가 어찌하여 나와 다투느냐 너희가 어찌하여 여호와를 시험하느냐 3거기서 백성이 물에 갈하매 그들이 모세를 대하여 원망하여 가로되 당신이 어찌하여 우리를 애굽에서 인도하여 내어서 우리와 우리 자녀와 우리 생축으로 목말라 죽게 하느냐 4모세가 여호와께 부르짖어 가로되 내가 이 백성에게 어떻게 하리이까 그들이 얼마 아니면 내게 돌질 하겠나이다 5여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 백성 앞을 지나가서 이스라엘 장로들을 데리고 하수를 치던 네 지팡이를 손에 잡고 가라 6내가 거기서 호렙 산 반석 위에 너를 대하여 서리니 너는 반석을 치라 그것에서 물이 나리니 백성이 마시리라 모세가 이스라엘 장로들의 목전에서 그대로 행하니라 7그가 그곳 이름을 맛사라 또는 므리바라 불렀으니 이는 이스라엘 자손이 다투었음이요 또는 그들이 여호와를 시험하여 이르기를 여호와께서 우리 중에 계신가 아닌가 하였음이더라 8때에 아말렉이 이르러 이스라엘과 르비딤에서 싸우니라 9모세가 여호수아에게 이르되 우리를 위하여 사람들을 택하여 나가서 아말렉과 싸우라 내일 내가 하나님의 지팡이를 손에 잡고 산꼭대기에 서리라 10여호수아가 모세의 말대로 행하여 아말렉과 싸우고 모세와 아론과 훌은 산꼭대기에 올라가서 11모세가 손을 들면 이스라엘이 이기고 손을 내리면 아말렉이 이기더니 12모세의 팔이 피곤하매 그들이 돌을 가져다가 모세의 아래에 놓아 그로 그 위에 앉게 하고 아론과 훌이 하나는 이편에서 하나는 저편에서 모세의 손을 붙들어 올렸더니 그 손이 해가 지도록 내려오지 아니한지라 13여호수아가 칼날로 아말렉과 그 백성을 쳐서 파하니라 14여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 이것을 책에 기록하여 기념하게 하고 여호수아의 귀에 외워 들리라 내가 아말렉을 도말하여 천하에서 기억함이 없게 하리라 15모세가 단을 쌓고 그 이름을 여호와 닛시라 하고 16가로되 여호와께서 맹세하시기를 여호와가 아말렉으로 더불어 대대로 싸우리라 하셨다 하였더라

1All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to Yahweh’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink. 2Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?” 3The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?” 4Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.” 5Yahweh said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?” 8Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.” 10So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset. 13Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.” 15Moses built an altar, and called its name Yahweh our Banner. 16He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”

1Daarna toog de ganse vergadering van de kinderen Israels, naar hun dagreizen, uit de woestijn Sin, op het bevel des HEEREN, en zij legerden zich te Rafidim. Daar nu was geen water voor het volk om te drinken. 2Toen twistte het volk met Mozes, en zeide: Geeft gijlieden ons water, dat wij drinken! Mozes dan zeide tot hen: Wat twist gij met mij? Waarom verzoekt gij den HEERE? 3Toen nu het volk aldaar dorstte naar water, zo murmureerde het volk tegen Mozes, en het zeide: Waartoe hebt gij ons nu uit Egypte doen optrekken, opdat gij mij, en mijn kinderen, en mijn vee, van dorst deed sterven? 4Zo riep Mozes tot den HEERE, zeggende: Wat zal ik dit volk doen? Er feilt niet veel aan, of zij zullen mij stenigen. 5Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Ga heen voor het aangezicht des volks, en neem met u uit de oudsten van Israel; en neem uw staf in uw hand, waarmede gij de rivier sloegt, en ga heen. 6Zie, Ik zal aldaar voor uw aangezicht op den rotssteen in Horeb staan; en gij zult op den rotssteen slaan, zo zal er water uitgaan, dat het volk drinke. Mozes nu deed alzo voor de ogen der oudsten van Israel. 7En hij noemde den naam dier plaats Massa en Meriba, om de twist der kinderen Israels, en omdat zij den HEERE verzocht hadden, zeggende: Is de HEERE in het midden van ons, of niet? 8Toen kwam Amalek en streed tegen Israel in Rafidim. 9Mozes dan zeide tot Jozua: Kies ons mannen, en trek uit, strijd tegen Amalek; morgen zal ik op de hoogte des heuvels staan, en de staf Gods zal in mijn hand zijn. 10Jozua nu deed, als Mozes hem gezegd had, strijdende tegen Amalek; doch Mozes, Aaron en Hur klommen op de hoogte des heuvels. 11En het geschiedde, terwijl Mozes zijn hand ophief, zo was Israel de sterkste; maar terwijl hij zijn hand nederliet, zo was Amalek de sterkste. 12Doch de handen van Mozes werden zwaar; daarom namen zij een steen, en legden dien onder hem, dat hij daarop zat; en Aaron en Hur onderstutten zijn handen, de een op deze, en ander op de andere zijde; alzo waren zijn handen gewis, totdat de zon onderging. 13Alzo dat Jozua Amalek en zijn volk krenkte, door de scherpte des zwaards. 14Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Schrijf dit ter gedachtenis in een boek, en leg het in de oren van Jozua, dat Ik de gedachtenis van Amalek geheel uitdelgen zal van onder den hemel. 15En Mozes bouwde een altaar; en hij noemde deszelfs naam: De HEERE is mijn Banier! 16En hij zeide: Dewijl de hand op den troon des HEEREN is, zo zal de oorlog des HEEREN tegen Amalek zijn, van geslacht tot geslacht!
