¹In vsa občina sinov Izraelovih je šla iz puščave Sinske po postajah svojih na povelje GOSPODOVO in se je utaborila v Rafidimu; ali ni bilo vode, da bi ljudstvo pilo.

¹And all the company of the sons of Israel journey from the wilderness of Sin, on their journeyings, by the command of Jehovah, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is no water for the people to drink;

²In prepiralo se je ljudstvo z Mojzesom in govorilo: Dajta nam vode, da pijemo! Mojzes jim pa odgovori: Kaj se pričkate z menoj? Zakaj izkušate GOSPODA?

²and the people strive with Moses, and say, `Give us water, and we drink.` And Moses saith to them, `What? — ye strive with me, what? — ye try Jehovah?`

³In bilo je tam ljudstvo žejno vode in je mrmralo zoper Mojzesa, govoreč: Zakaj si nas izpeljal iz Egipta? da z žejo umoriš mene, otroke moje in živino mojo?

³and the people thirst there for water, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, `Why [is] this? — thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to put us to death, also our sons and our cattle, with thirst.`

⁴In vpil je Mojzes h GOSPODU, rekoč: Kaj naj storim s tem ljudstvom? Še malo, pa me bodo s kamenjem posuli.

⁴And Moses crieth to Jehovah, saying, `What do I to this people? yet a little, and they have stoned me.`

⁵In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Stopi na čelo ljudstva in vzemi s seboj nekoliko starejšin Izraelovih; in palico svojo, s katero si udaril reko, vzemi v roko in pojdi.

⁵And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Pass over before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy rod with which thou hast smitten the River take in thy hand, and thou hast gone:

⁶Glej, jaz bom stal pred teboj na Horebu tam na skali; ti pa udari skalo, in voda priteče iz nje, da bo ljudstvo pilo. In storil je Mojzes tako pred očmi starejšin Izraelovih.

⁶Lo, I am standing before thee there on the rock in Horeb, and thou hast smitten on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.` And Moses doth so before the eyes of the elders of Israel,

⁷In ime tega mesta je imenoval Masa [T. j. izkušnjava.] in Meriba [T. j. zdražba ali prepir.] zaradi prepira sinov Izraelovih in ker so izkušali GOSPODA, govoreč: Ali je GOSPOD sredi nas ali ga ni?

⁷and he calleth the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the `strife` of the sons of Israel, and because of their `trying` Jehovah, saying, `Is Jehovah in our midst or not?`

⁸In prišel je Amalek in se je bojeval z Izraelom v Rafidimu.

⁸And Amalek cometh, and fighteth with Israel in Rephidim,

⁹In Mojzes veli Jozuetu: Izberi nam može in pojdi, bojuj se z Amalekom; jaz bom jutri stal na vrhu hriba s palico Božjo v roki svoji.

⁹and Moses saith unto Joshua, `Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.`

¹⁰In storil je Jozue, kakor mu je rekel Mojzes, da bi se bojeval z Amalekom. Mojzes pa in Aron in Hur so stopili na vrh hriba.

¹⁰And Joshua doth as Moses hath said to him, to fight with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, have gone up [to] the top of the height;

¹¹In dokler je Mojzes kvišku držal roko, je zmagoval Izrael, kadar pa je povesil roko, je premagal Amalek.

¹¹and it hath come to pass, when Moses lifteth up his hand, that Israel hath been mighty, and when he letteth his hands rest, that Amalek hath been mighty.

¹²A roke Mojzesove so se utrudile. Vzameta torej kamen in mu ga podložita, in on sede nanj; Aron pa in Hur podpirata roke njegove, eden na tej, drugi pa na drugi strani. Tako so njegove roke ostale trdne do solnčnega zahoda.

¹²And the hands of Moses [are] heavy, and they take a stone, and set [it] under him, and he sitteth on it: and Aaron and Hur have taken hold on his hands, on this side one, and on that one, and his hands are stedfast till the going in of the sun;

¹³In porazil je Jozue Amaleka in ljudstvo njegovo z meča ostrino.

¹³and Joshua weakeneth Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword.

¹⁴Tedaj je GOSPOD rekel Mojzesu: Zapiši to v knjigo za spomin in ponavljaj vpričo Jozueta, da bom dočista izbrisal spomin Amalekov izpod neba.

¹⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write this, a memorial in a Book, and set [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I do utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens;`

¹⁵In Mojzes postavi oltar in imenuje ime njegovo: Jehova nisi [T. j. GOSPOD, prapor moj.],in reče: Res, roka je vzdignjena proti prestolu GOSPODOVEMU: vojska GOSPODOVA bo zoper Amaleka od roda do roda.

¹⁵and Moses buildeth an altar, and calleth its name Jehovah-Nissi,

¹⁶in reče: Res, roka je vzdignjena proti prestolu GOSPODOVEMU: vojska GOSPODOVA bo zoper Amaleka od roda do roda.

¹⁶and saith, `Because a hand [is] on the throne of Jah, war [is] to Jehovah with Amalek from generation — generation.`
