2 Mose 17
Hoffnung für Alle
Wasser aus dem Felsen (4. Mose 20,2‒13)
17 Die Israeliten brachen aus der Wüste Sin auf und zogen von einem Lagerplatz zum nächsten, wie der Herr es ihnen befahl. Als sie in Refidim ihr Lager aufschlugen, fanden sie kein Trinkwasser. 2 Da machten sie Mose bittere Vorwürfe und verlangten: »Gib uns Wasser zum Trinken!« Mose erwiderte: »Warum beschwert ihr euch bei mir? Warum stellt ihr den Herrn auf die Probe?« 3 Aber die Israeliten quälte der Durst, und sie klagten Mose an: »Warum hast du uns nur aus Ägypten herausgeholt? Willst du uns mit unseren Kindern und all unseren Herden hier verdursten lassen?«
4 Da rief Mose zum Herrn: »Was soll ich jetzt mit diesem Volk tun? Es fehlt nicht viel, und sie steinigen mich!« 5 Der Herr antwortete: »Ruf einige von den Sippenoberhäuptern Israels und geh mit ihnen dem Volk voran! Nimm dabei den Stab in die Hand, mit dem du in den Nil geschlagen hast! 6 Du wirst sehen, dass ich dich am Berg Horeb erwarte und dort vor dir auf einem Felsen stehe. Schlag mit dem Stab an diesen Felsen! Dann wird Wasser aus dem Stein herausströmen, und das Volk kann trinken.«
Vor den Augen der Sippenoberhäupter von Israel tat Mose, was der Herr ihm befohlen hatte. 7 Er nannte diesen Ort Massa und Meriba (»Herausforderung« und »Vorwurf«), weil die Israeliten dort dem Herrn Vorwürfe gemacht und ihn herausgefordert hatten. Denn sie hatten gefragt: »Ist der Herr bei uns oder nicht?«
Der Kampf gegen die Amalekiter
8 Als die Israeliten bei Refidim lagerten, rückten die Amalekiter an, um Israel anzugreifen. 9 Mose befahl Josua: »Wähle kampferprobte Männer aus und zieh mit ihnen in die Schlacht gegen die Amalekiter! Ich selbst werde mich morgen auf den Hügel stellen, den Stab Gottes in der Hand.«
10 Josua gehorchte und zog mit seinen Soldaten in den Kampf, wie Mose es befohlen hatte. Mose, Aaron und Hur stiegen auf den Hügel. 11 Solange Mose seine Hände mit dem Stab erhoben hatte, behielten die Israeliten im Kampf die Oberhand; ließ er die Hände sinken, waren die Amalekiter überlegen. 12 Mit der Zeit wurden Mose die Arme schwer. Da holten Aaron und Hur einen großen Stein, auf den er sich setzen konnte; sie selbst stellten sich links und rechts neben ihn und stützten seine Arme, bis die Sonne unterging. 13 So konnte Josua das Heer der Amalekiter in der Schlacht besiegen.
14 Danach sagte der Herr zu Mose: »Schreib zur Erinnerung in einem Buch nieder, was heute geschehen ist, und präge Josua die Worte ein! Denn ich werde die Amalekiter völlig vernichten, niemand wird sich mehr an sie erinnern.« 15 Mose errichtete einen Altar und nannte ihn: »Der Herr ist mein Feldzeichen«. 16 Er sagte: »Weil sie ihre Hand gegen die Herrschaft des Herrn erhoben haben,[a] führt der Herr für alle Zeiten Krieg gegen die Amalekiter!«

Egzòd 17
Haitian Creole Version
17 ¶ Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati, yo kite dezè Sin lan, dapre lòd Seyè a te ba yo. Yo fè wout la moso pa moso, jouk yo rive Refidim kote yo moute tant yo. Men, pa t' gen dlo la pou pèp la te bwè.
2 Yo leve fè kont ak Moyiz. Yo di l': -Ban nou dlo pou nou bwè! Moyiz reponn yo: -Poukisa n'ap chache m' kont konsa? Pouki n'ap sonde Seyè a konsa?
3 Men, pèp la te swaf dlo anpil, yo t'ap bougonnen sou do Moyiz. Yo di l': -Poukisa ou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la? Gen lè se pou te fè nou vin mouri swaf dlo isit la, avèk pitit nou yo ansanm ak tout bèt nou yo?
4 Moyiz menm lapriyè nan pye Bondye. Li di l' konsa: -Kisa pou m' fè ak moun sa yo? Yo san lè touye m' ak kout ròch!
5 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Pran kèk chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la avèk ou, pase devan pèp la. Kenbe baton ou te sèvi pou frape gwo la rivyè Nil lan nan men ou. Epi mache.
6 Mwen menm, m'ap kanpe laba a, dwat devan ou, sou tèt gwo ròch Orèb la. W'a frape ròch la, dlo va soti ladan l'. Pèp la va bwè. Se sa menm Moyiz te fè devan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
7 Yo rele kote sa a Masa ak Meriba, paske pèp Izrayèl la t'ap chache kont, yo t'ap sonde Seyè a lè yo te mande: Eske Seyè a nan mitan nou, wi ou non?
8 ¶ Antan pèp Izrayèl la Refidim, moun Amalèk yo vin pou goumen ak yo.
9 Moyiz di Jozye konsa: -Chwazi kèk gason pou nou. Denmen w'a soti al goumen ak moun Amalèk yo. Mwen menm, m'a moute sou tèt ti mòn lan avèk baton Bondye te ban mwen an nan men mwen.
10 Jozye fè tou sa Moyiz te di l' fè. Li soti al goumen ak moun Amalèk yo. Moyiz menm moute sou tèt ti mòn lan ansanm ak Arawon ak Our.
11 Tout tan Moyiz te kenbe men l' yo leve anlè, se moun Izrayèl yo ki te pi fò. Men, kou Moyiz bese men l', se moun Amalèk yo ki te pi fò.
12 Rive yon lè Moyiz te bouke, de bra l' t'ap fè l' mal. Arawon ak Our pran yon ròch, yo mete l' deyè Moyiz, yo fè Moyiz chita sou li. Yo chak pran yon bra Moyiz, yo kenbe yo anlè. Yo kenbe yo konsa jouk solèy kouche.
13 Jozye menm te bat Amalèk ak moun li yo byen bat, li touye yo anba kout nepe.
14 Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ekri sa nan liv rejis la pou moun yo pa janm bliye batay sa a. W'a di Jozye konsa m'ap efase non Amalèk sou latè pou yo pa janm chonje l' ankò.
15 Moyiz bati yon lòtèl, li rele l': Seyè a se drapo m'.
16 Apre sa li di: -Men mwen leve men m' devan fotèy Seyè a, Seyè a p'ap janm sispann goumen ak moun Amalèk yo.
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)
