¹ثم ارتحل كل جماعة بني اسرائيل من برية سين بحسب مراحلهم على موجب امر الرب ونزلوا في رفيديم. ولم يكن ماء ليشرب الشعب.

¹And all the assembly of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their journeys, at the command of Jehovah; and they encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.

²فخاصم الشعب موسى وقالوا اعطونا ماء لنشرب. فقال لهم موسى لماذا تخاصمونني. لماذا تجربون الرب.

²And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water, that we may drink! And Moses said to them, Why do ye dispute with me? Why do ye tempt Jehovah?

³وعطش هناك الشعب الى الماء. وتذمّر الشعب على موسى وقالوا لماذا اصعدتنا من مصر لتميتنا واولادنا ومواشينا بالعطش.

³And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

⁴فصرخ موسى الى الرب قائلا ماذا افعل بهذا الشعب. بعد قليل يرجمونني.

⁴And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me!

⁵فقال الرب لموسى مرّ قدّام الشعب وخذ معك من شيوخ اسرائيل. وعصاك التي ضربت بها النهر خذها في يدك واذهب.

⁵And Jehovah said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy staff with which thou didst smite the river, take in thy hand, and go.

⁶ها انا اقف امامك هناك على الصخرة في حوريب فتضرب الصخرة فيخرج منها ماء ليشرب الشعب. ففعل موسى هكذا امام عيون شيوخ اسرائيل.

⁶Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock on Horeb; and thou shalt strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

⁷ودعا اسم الموضع مسّة ومريبة من اجل مخاصمة بني اسرائيل ومن اجل تجربتهم للرب قائلين أفي وسطنا الرب ام لا

⁷And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?

⁸وأتى عماليق وحارب اسرائيل في رفيديم.

⁸And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

⁹فقال موسى ليشوع انتخب لنا رجالا واخرج حارب عماليق. وغدا اقف انا على راس التلّة وعصا الله في يدي.

⁹And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.

¹⁰ففعل يشوع كما قال له موسى ليحارب عماليق. واما موسى وهرون وحور فصعدوا على راس التلّة.

¹⁰And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

¹¹وكان اذا رفع موسى يده ان اسرائيل يغلب واذا خفض يده ان عماليق يغلب.

¹¹And it came to pass when Moses raised his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

¹²فلما صارت يدا موسى ثقيلتين اخذا حجرا ووضعاه تحته فجلس عليه. ودعم هرون وحور يديه الواحد من هنا والآخر من هناك. فكانت يداه ثابتتين الى غروب الشمس.

¹²And Moses' hands were heavy; then they took a stone, and put [it] under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side, and one on that side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

¹³فهزم يشوع عماليق وقومه بحد السيف

¹³And Joshua broke the power of Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴فقال الرب لموسى اكتب هذا تذكارا في الكتاب وضعه في مسامع يشوع. فاني سوف امحو ذكر عماليق من تحت السماء.

¹⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.

¹⁵فبنى موسى مذبحا ودعا اسمه يهوه نسّي.

¹⁵And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.

¹⁶وقال ان اليد على كرسي الرب. للرب حرب مع عماليق من دور الى دور

¹⁶And he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah; Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation!
