< اَلْخُرُوجُ 17 >

ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ سِينٍ بِحَسَبِ مَرَاحِلِهِمْ عَلَى مُوجِبِ أَمْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَزَلُوا فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. ١ 1
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;
فَخَاصَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «أَعْطُونَا مَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ؟» ٢ 2
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?”
وَعَطِشَ هُنَاكَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ، وَتَذَمَّرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا أَصْعَدْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتُمِيتَنَا وَأَوْلَادَنَا وَمَوَاشِيَنَا بِٱلْعَطَشِ؟» ٣ 3
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?”
فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَرْجُمُونَنِي». ٤ 4
And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “What do I do to this people? Yet a little, and they have stoned me.”
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُرَّ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَخُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَعَصَاكَ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِهَا ٱلنَّهْرَ خُذْهَا فِي يَدِكَ وَٱذْهَبْ. ٥ 5
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.
هَا أَنَا أَقِفُ أَمَامَكَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ فِي حُورِيبَ، فَتَضْرِبُ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ». فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى هَكَذَا أَمَامَ عُيُونِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٦ 6
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,
وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ» مِنْ أَجْلِ مُخَاصَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ تَجْرِبَتِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَفِي وَسَطِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَمْ لَا؟». ٧ 7
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?”
وَأَتَى عَمَالِيقُ وَحَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. ٨ 8
And Amalek comes, and fights with Israel in Rephidim,
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْتَخِبْ لَنَا رِجَالًا وَٱخْرُجْ حَارِبْ عَمَالِيقَ. وَغَدًا أَقِفُ أَنَا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ وَعَصَا ٱللهِ فِي يَدِي». ٩ 9
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.”
فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى لِيُحَارِبَ عَمَالِيقَ. وَأَمَّا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَحُورُ فَصَعِدُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ. ١٠ 10
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;
وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْلِبُ، وَإِذَا خَفَضَ يَدَهُ أَنَّ عَمَالِيقَ يَغْلِبُ. ١١ 11
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.
فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ يَدَا مُوسَى ثَقِيلَتَيْنِ، أَخَذَا حَجَرًا وَوَضَعَاهُ تَحْتَهُ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ. وَدَعَمَ هَارُونُ وَحُورُ يَدَيْهِ، ٱلْوَاحِدُ مِنْ هُنَا وَٱلْآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. فَكَانَتْ يَدَاهُ ثَابِتَتَيْنِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. ١٢ 12
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;
فَهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَوْمَهُ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. ١٣ 13
and Joshua weakens Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱكْتُبْ هَذَا تَذْكَارًا فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ، وَضَعْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ يَشُوعَ. فَإِنِّي سَوْفَ أَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». ١٤ 14
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”;
فَبَنَى مُوسَى مَذْبَحًا وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «يَهْوَهْ نِسِّي». ١٥ 15
and Moses builds an altar, and calls its name YHWH-Nissi,
وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلْيَدَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِلرَّبِّ حَرْبٌ مَعَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ دَوْرٍ إِلَى دَوْرٍ». ١٦ 16
and says, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war [is] to YHWH with Amalek from generation [to] generation.”
