¹擊磐出水（民20:1~13）以色列全體會眾都照著耶和華的吩咐，一站一站，從汛的曠野起程，在利非訂安營。在那裡人民沒有水喝。

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.

²因此人民與摩西爭吵，說：“給我們水喝吧。”摩西對他們說：“你們為甚麼與我爭吵呢？你們為甚麼試探耶和華呢？”

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?”

³人民在那裡渴望得水喝，就向摩西發怨言，說：“你為甚麼把我們從埃及領上來，使我們和我們的兒女，以及我們的牲畜都渴死呢？”

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?”

⁴摩西向耶和華呼求，說：“我要怎樣對待這人民呢？他們幾乎要用石頭打死我了。”

⁴Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

⁵耶和華回答摩西：“你要到人民的面前，要帶著以色列的幾個長老和你一起，手裡要拿著你先前擊打河水的杖。

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.

⁶看哪，我必在何烈山那裡的磐石上站在你面前；你要擊打磐石，就必有水從磐石流出來，使人民可以喝。”摩西就在以色列的長老眼前這樣行了。

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.

⁷他給那地方起名叫瑪撒，又叫米利巴，因為以色列人在那裡爭吵，又因為他們試探耶和華，說：“耶和華是不是在我們中間呢？”

⁷He called the name of the place Massah, Massah means testing. and Meribah, Meribah means quarreling. because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?”

⁸與亞瑪力人作戰那時亞瑪力人來了，在利非訂和以色列人爭戰。

⁸Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

⁹摩西對約書亞說：“你要為我們選出人來，出去和亞瑪力人爭戰；明天我要站在山頂上，手裡拿著　神的杖。”

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.”

¹⁰於是，約書亞照著摩西吩咐他的行了，去和亞瑪力人爭戰；摩西、亞倫和戶珥都上了山頂。

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.

¹¹摩西舉起手來的時候，以色列人就得勝；摩西把手放下來的時候，亞瑪力人就得勝。

¹¹It happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

¹²可是摩西的兩手疲乏了，他們就搬塊石頭來，放在摩西下面，他就坐在上面；亞倫和戶珥，一邊一個，扶著摩西的兩手；這樣，他的兩手就穩住，直到日落的時候。

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.

¹³約書亞用刀打敗了亞瑪力王和他的人民。

¹³Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴耶和華對摩西說：“我要把亞瑪力的名號從天下完全抹掉；你要把話寫在書上作記念，也要告訴約書亞。”

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.”

¹⁵摩西築了一座祭壇，給它起名叫“耶和華尼西”。

¹⁵Moses built an altar, and called its name Yahweh our Banner. Hebrew, Yahweh Nissi

¹⁶摩西又說：“向耶和華的旌旗舉手，耶和華必世世代代和亞瑪力人爭戰。”

¹⁶He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”
