出埃及記 17
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
磐石出水
17 以色列全體會眾按照耶和華的吩咐,從汛曠野啟程,一程一程往前行,來到利非訂安營,可是那裡沒有水喝。 2 百姓便跟摩西吵鬧,要他給他們水喝。摩西便對他們說:「你們為什麼跟我吵鬧?為什麼試探耶和華?」 3 百姓非常口渴,他們向摩西抱怨說:「你為什麼要把我們帶出埃及,讓我們一家大小和牲畜都在這裡渴死?」
4 摩西就呼求耶和華說:「我拿這些百姓怎麼辦?他們準備拿石塊打死我!」 5 耶和華對摩西說:「你帶著之前擊打尼羅河水的杖,率領以色列的幾個長老走在眾人前面。 6 我必在何烈的磐石那裡等候你們,你用杖擊打磐石,磐石必流出水來給眾人喝。」摩西便當著以色列長老的面這樣做了。 7 摩西稱那地方為瑪撒和米利巴[a],因為百姓在那裡吵鬧,又試探耶和華,說:「耶和華真的在我們當中嗎?」
戰勝亞瑪力人
8 後來,亞瑪力人到利非訂攻打以色列人。 9 摩西對約書亞說:「選一些人出去迎戰亞瑪力人。明天,我會帶著上帝的杖站在山頂上。」 10 約書亞便遵照摩西的吩咐迎戰亞瑪力人,摩西、亞倫和戶珥站在山頂上。 11 摩西什麼時候舉手,以色列人就得勝;他的手什麼時候垂下來,亞瑪力人就佔上風。 12 不久,摩西的手疲倦發軟,亞倫和戶珥就抬來一塊石頭讓摩西坐下,然後站在他的兩邊扶著他的手,他就穩穩地舉著手,直到日落。 13 這樣,約書亞用刀殺敗了亞瑪力人。
14 耶和華對摩西說:「我要抹去世人對亞瑪力人的記憶。你要把這話記在書卷上作紀念,也要把這話告訴約書亞。」 15 摩西在那裡築了一座壇,稱之為耶和華尼西[b]。 16 摩西說:「耶和華已經起誓要世代與亞瑪力人為敵。」
Exodus 17
King James Version
17 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.
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?
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?
4 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
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.
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.
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?
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
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.
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.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
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.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
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.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
16 For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Exodus 17
New International Version
Water From the Rock
17 The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin,(A) traveling from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim,(B) but there was no water(C) for the people to drink. 2 So they quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water(D) to drink.”(E)
Moses replied, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?”(F)
3 But the people were thirsty(G) for water there, and they grumbled(H) against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die(I) of thirst?”
4 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone(J) me.”
5 The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff(K) with which you struck the Nile,(L) and go. 6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb.(M) Strike(N) the rock, and water(O) will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the place Massah[a](P) and Meribah[b](Q) because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the Lord saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”
The Amalekites Defeated
8 The Amalekites(R) came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.(S) 9 Moses said to Joshua,(T) “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff(U) of God in my hands.”
10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur(V) went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning,(W) but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.(X) 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite(Y) army with the sword.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write(Z) this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out(AA) the name of Amalek(AB) from under heaven.”
15 Moses built an altar(AC) and called(AD) it The Lord is my Banner. 16 He said, “Because hands were lifted up against[c] the throne of the Lord,[d] the Lord will be at war against the Amalekites(AE) from generation to generation.”(AF)
