Exodus 17
Het Boek
Water uit de rots
17 Volgens de opdracht van de Here verliet het volk Israël de woestijn Sin en trok langs diverse pleisterplaatsen naar Refidim, waar zij hun kamp opsloegen. Daar was echter geen water te vinden! 2 Opnieuw mopperde het volk en eiste van Mozes: ‘Geef ons water, zodat we kunnen drinken!’ ‘Waarom moppert u op mij?’ vroeg Mozes. ‘Wilt u soms de Here op de proef stellen om te zien hoe lang Hij geduld met u heeft?’ 3 Maar gekweld door de dorst, riepen zij: ‘Waarom hebt u ons uit Egypte gehaald? Waarom moeten wij, onze kinderen en ons vee hier sterven?’ 4 Toen bad Mozes tot de Here en smeekte Hem: ‘Wat moet ik doen? Nog even en zij stenigen mij!’
5 De Here antwoordde: ‘Roep de leiders van Israël bij u en breng het volk naar het Horeb-gebergte. 6 Daar zal Ik u ontmoeten. Sla daar met uw staf op een rots—dezelfde staf waarmee u op het water van de Nijl hebt geslagen—en er zal water tevoorschijn komen, zodat zij kunnen drinken!’ Mozes deed wat de Here had gezegd en het water golfde tevoorschijn!
7 Mozes noemde die plaats Massa (Verzoeking) en Meriba (Ruzie), omdat de Israëlieten tegen de Here waren opgestaan en Hem hadden uitgedaagd met de woorden: ‘Is de Here bij ons of niet?’
8 Toen verschenen de Amalekieten op het toneel en vochten bij Refidim tegen de Israëlieten. 9 Mozes zei tegen Jozua: ‘Roep de mannen te wapen en vecht tegen het leger van Amalek. Morgen zal ik op de heuveltop staan met de staf van God in mijn hand!’
10 Jozua verzamelde zijn mannen en trok ten strijde. Ondertussen beklommen Mozes, Aäron en Chur de heuvel. 11 Telkens wanneer Mozes zijn hand omhoog deed, had Israël de overhand, maar wanneer zijn hand niet meer omhoog was, was Amalek de winnende partij. 12 Toen hij last kreeg van vermoeidheid, rolden zij een steen naar hem toe, waarop hij kon zitten. Aäron en Hur stonden naast hem en hielden zijn armen omhoog tot zonsondergang. 13 Zo overwon Jozua de Amalekieten en hij vernietigde hen.
14 En de Here beval Mozes: ‘Leg deze gebeurtenissen vast zodat ze niet worden vergeten. En prent Jozua in dat Ik de herinnering aan Amalek voor altijd zal laten verdwijnen.’
15 Toen bouwde Mozes een altaar en noemde het: ‘De Here is mijn banier.’ 16 Hij riep uit: ‘De hand van de Here beschermt ons vanuit de hemel en Hij voert onze strijd tegen Amalek van generatie op generatie.’
Изход 17
Библия, синодално издание
17 (A)И цялото общество Израилеви синове потегли на път от пустиня Син, по заповед Господня, и се разположи на стан в Рефидим; и нямаше вода да пие народът.
2 (B)И народът укоряваше Моисея и думаше: дайте ни вода да пием. Каза им Моисей: защо ме укорявате? Защо изкушавате Господа?
3 (C)И жадуваше за вода народът там, роптаеше против Моисея и думаше: защо ни изведе от Египет, за да умориш от жажда нас и децата ни и стадата ни?
4 (D)Моисей извика към Бога и каза: какво да правя с тоя народ? Още малко, и ще ме убият с камъни.
5 (E)И рече Господ на Моисея: излез пред народа, и вземи със себе си ня кои от стареите Израилеви; вземи в ръка и тоягата си, с която удари по водата, и иди:
6 (F)ето, Аз ще застана пред тебе там на скалата в Хорив, а ти ще удариш в скалата, и от нея ще протече вода, и народът ще пие. Тъй и направи Моисей пред очите на стареите израилски.
7 И нарече това място с име: Маса и Мерива[a], поради караницата на Израилевите синове, и защото те изкушаваха Господа, думайки: дали е между нас Господ, или не?
8 (G)И дойдоха амаликитци и се биха с израилтяните в Рефидим.
9 (H)Моисей каза на Иисуса: избери ни мъже (силни) и иди, та се срази с амаликитци; утре аз ще застана навръх могила та, и Божията тояга ще бъде в ръката ми.
10 (I)И стори Иисус, както му каза Моисей, и (отиде да) се срази с амаликитци; а Моисей, Аарон и Ор се качиха навръх могилата.
11 (J)И колчем дигнеше Моисей ръцете си, надвиваше Израил, а колчем спуснеше ръцете си, надвиваше Амалик.
12 А на Моисея натегнаха ръцете, и тогава взеха камък, та му подложиха, и той седна на него, а Аарон и Ор подпираха ръцете му, един от едната, а друг от другата страна. Тъй стояха ръцете му издигнати до залез-слънце.
13 (K)И порази Иисус Амалика и народа му с острието на меча.
14 (L)И рече Господ на Моисея: запиши това за спомен в книгата и внуши на Иисуса, че Аз съвсем ще излича спомена за амаликитци от поднебесието.
15 Тогава Моисей съзида жертвеник (Господу) и го нарече с име Иехова Ниси[b],
16 понеже, каза той, ръка има върху престола Господен: Господ ще воюва против Амалика от рода в род.
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.
