Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and [there was] no water for the people to drink.
Og al Israels Børns Menighed drog fra den Ørk Sin, paa deres Rejser, efter Herrens Mund, og de lejrede sig i Refidim, og Folket havde intet Vand at drikke.
2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
Og Folket kivedes med Mose, og de sagde: Giver os Vand, at vi kunne drikke; og Mose sagde til dem: Hvad ville I kives med mig for? hvorfor ville I friste Herren?
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore [is] this [that] thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Og Folket tørstede der efter Vand, og Folket knurrede imod Mose, og de sagde: Hvorfor har du ført os op af Ægypten, at lade mig og mine Børn og mit Kvæg dø af Tørst?
4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
Da raabte Mose til Herren og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre ved dette Folk? om et lidet saa stene de mig.
5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak frem for Folket og tag med dig af de ældste af Israel, og tag din Stav, med hvilken du slog Floden, i din Haand, og gaa.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Se, jeg vil staa for dig der paa Klippen paa Horeb, og du skal slaa paa Klippen, saa skal der flyde Vand ud af den, at Folket maa drikke; og Mose gjorde saa for Israels ældstes Øjne.
7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
Saa kaldte han Stedets Navn Massa og Meriba, for Israels Børns Kiv, og fordi de havde fristet Herren og sagt: Monne Herren være iblandt os eller ej?
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Og Amalek kom og stred imod Israel i Refidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
Da sagde Mose til Josva: Udvælg os Mænd og drag ud, strid imod Amalek; jeg vil staa øverst paa Højen i Morgen, og Guds Stav skal være i min Haand.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Og Josva gjorde, som Mose havde sagt ham om at stride imod Amalek; men Mose, Aron og Hur gik op øverst paa Højen.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Og det skete, naar Mose opløftede sin Haand, da fik Israel Overhaand; men naar han lod sin Haand synke, da fik Amalek Overhaand.
12 But Moses’ hands [were] heavy; and they took a stone, and put [it] under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Men Mose Hænder bleve trætte, derfor toge de en Sten og lagde under ham, og han satte sig derpaa; og Aron og Hur holdt hans Hænder oppe, een paa den ene Side og een paa den anden Side; og hans Hænder bleve stadigt holdt oppe, indtil Solen gik ned.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Og Josva svækkede Amalek og hans Folk med skarpe Sværd.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in a book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Skriv dette til en Ihukommelse i Bogen, og indprent det i Josvas Øren; thi jeg vil visselig udslette Amaleks Ihukommelse under Himmelen.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
Og Mose byggede et Alter og kaldte dets Navn: Herren er mit Banner.
16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn [that] the LORD [will have] war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Og han sagde: Der er en udrakt Haand paa Herrens Trone; Herrens Strid skal være imod Amalek fra Slægt til Slægt.
