出エジプト記 17
1 イスラエルの子孫の會衆ヱホバの命にしたがひて皆シンの曠野を立出で旅路をかさねてレピデムに幕張せしが民の飮む水あらざりき
All the congregation of the children of Israel travelled from the wilderness of Sin, starting according to the LORD’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
2 是をもて民モーセと爭ひて言ふ我儕に水をあたへて飮しめよモーセかれらに言けるは汝ら何ぞ我とあらそふや何ぞヱホバを試むるや
Therefore the people quarrelled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?”
3 彼處にて民水に渇き民モーセにむかひて呟き言ふ汝などて我等をエジプトより導きいだして我等とわれらの子女とわれらの家畜を渇に死しめんとするや
The people were thirsty for water there; so 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?”
4 是に於てモーセ、ヱホバに呼はりて言ふ我この民に何をなすべきや彼等は殆ど我を石にて撃んとするなり
Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
5 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝民の前に進み民の中の或長老等を伴ひかの汝が河を撃し杖を手に執て往よ
The LORD 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.
6 視よ我そこにて汝の前にあたりてホレブの磐の上に立ん汝磐を撃べし然せば其より水出ん民これを飮べしモーセすなはちイスラエルの長老等の前にて斯おこなへり
Behold, 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.
7 かくて彼その處の名をマツサと呼び又メリバと呼り是はイスラエルの子孫の爭ひしに由り又そのヱホバはわれらの中に在すや否と言てヱホバを試みしに由なり
He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarrelled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD amongst us, or not?”
8 時にアマレクきたりてイスラエルとレピデムに戰ふ
Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 モーセ、ヨシユアに言けるは我等のために人を擇み出てアマレクと戰へ明日我神の杖を手にとりて岡の嶺に立ん
Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out to fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.”
10 ヨシユアすなはちモーセの己に言しごとくに爲しアマレクと戰ふモーセ、アロンおよびホルは岡の嶺に登りしが
So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 モーセ手を擧をればイスラエル勝ち手を垂ればアマレク勝り
When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 然るにモーセの手重くなりたればアロンとホル石をとりてモーセの下におきてその上に坐せしめ一人は此方一人は彼方にありてモーセの手を支へたりしかばその手日の沒まで垂下ざりき
But Moses’ hands were heavy; so 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.
13 是においてヨシユア刃をもてアマレクとその民を敗れり
Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは之を書に筆して記念となしヨシユアの耳にこれをいれよ我必ずアマレクの名を塗抹て天下にこれを誌ゆること无らしめんと
The LORD 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.”
15 斯てモーセ一座の壇を築きその名をヱホバニシ(ヱホバ吾旗)と稱ふ
Moses built an altar, and called its name “The LORD our Banner”.
16 モーセ云けらくヱホバの寶位にむかひて手を擧ることありヱホバ世々アマレクと戰ひたまはん
He said, “The LORD has sworn: ‘The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”
