< 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 |
The whole community of the Israelites journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, following Yahweh's instructions. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
فَخَاصَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «أَعْطُونَا مَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ؟» | ٢ 2 |
So the people blamed Moses for their situation and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”
وَعَطِشَ هُنَاكَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ، وَتَذَمَّرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا أَصْعَدْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتُمِيتَنَا وَأَوْلَادَنَا وَمَوَاشِيَنَا بِٱلْعَطَشِ؟» | ٣ 3 |
The people were very thirsty, and they complained against Moses. They said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt? To kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?”
فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَرْجُمُونَنِي». | ٤ 4 |
Then Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُرَّ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَخُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَعَصَاكَ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِهَا ٱلنَّهْرَ خُذْهَا فِي يَدِكَ وَٱذْهَبْ. | ٥ 5 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people, and take with you some elders of Israel. Take with you the staff with which you struck the river, and go.
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 |
I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you will strike the rock. Water will come out of it for the people to drink.” Then Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ» مِنْ أَجْلِ مُخَاصَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ تَجْرِبَتِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَفِي وَسَطِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَمْ لَا؟». | ٧ 7 |
He called that place Massah and Meribah because of the Israelites' complaining, and because they had tested the Lord by saying, “Is Yahweh among us or not?”
وَأَتَى عَمَالِيقُ وَحَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. | ٨ 8 |
Then an army of the Amalek people came and attacked Israel at Rephidim.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْتَخِبْ لَنَا رِجَالًا وَٱخْرُجْ حَارِبْ عَمَالِيقَ. وَغَدًا أَقِفُ أَنَا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ وَعَصَا ٱللهِ فِي يَدِي». | ٩ 9 |
So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some men and go out. Fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”
فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى لِيُحَارِبَ عَمَالِيقَ. وَأَمَّا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَحُورُ فَصَعِدُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
So Joshua fought Amalek as Moses had instructed, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْلِبُ، وَإِذَا خَفَضَ يَدَهُ أَنَّ عَمَالِيقَ يَغْلِبُ. | ١١ 11 |
While Moses was holding his hands up, Israel was winning; when he let his hands rest, Amalek would begin to win.
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 |
When Moses' hands became heavy, Aaron and Hur took a stone and put it under him for him to sit on. At the same time, Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one person on one side of him, and the other person on the other side. So Moses' hands were held steady until the sun went down.
فَهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَوْمَهُ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٣ 13 |
So Joshua defeated the people of Amalek with the sword.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱكْتُبْ هَذَا تَذْكَارًا فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ، وَضَعْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ يَشُوعَ. فَإِنِّي سَوْفَ أَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this in a book and read it in Joshua's hearing, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under the skies.”
فَبَنَى مُوسَى مَذْبَحًا وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «يَهْوَهْ نِسِّي». | ١٥ 15 |
Then Moses built an altar and he called it “Yahweh is my banner.”
وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلْيَدَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِلرَّبِّ حَرْبٌ مَعَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ دَوْرٍ إِلَى دَوْرٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
He said, “For a hand was lifted up to the throne of Yahweh—that Yahweh will wage war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
