Ang tubig mula sa bato sa Rephidim.

17 (A)At ang buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel ay naglakbay mula sa ilang ng Sin, sa kanilang paglalakbay ayon sa utos ng Panginoon, at humantong sa Rephidim: at walang tubig na mainom ang bayan.

(B)Kaya't ang bayan ay nakipagtalo kay Moises, at nagsabi, Bigyan mo kami ng tubig na aming mainom. At sinabi ni Moises sa kanila, Bakit kayo nakikipagtalo sa akin? (C)bakit ninyo tinutukso ang Panginoon?

At ang bayan ay nauhaw at (D)inupasala ng bayan si Moises, at sinabi, Bakit mo kami isinampa rito mula sa Egipto, upang patayin mo kami sa uhaw, at ang aming mga anak, at ang aming kawan?

At si Moises ay dumaing sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Anong aking gagawin sa bayang ito? kulang na lamang (E)batuhin nila ako.

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Dumaan ka sa harap ng bayan, at ipagsama mo ang mga matanda sa Israel; at ang iyong tungkod na iyong (F)ipinalo sa ilog, ay tangnan mo sa iyong kamay, at yumaon ka.

(G)Narito, ako'y tatayo sa harap mo roon sa ibabaw ng bato sa Horeb; at iyong papaluin ang bato, at lalabasan ng tubig, upang ang bayan ay makainom. At gayon ginawa ni Moises sa paningin ng mga matanda sa Israel.

At (H)tinawag nila ang pangalan ng dakong yaon, na Massah at Meribah, dahil sa pakikipagtalo ng mga anak ni Israel, at dahil sa kanilang tinukso ang Panginoon, na kanilang sinasabi, Ang Panginoon ba'y nasa gitna natin o wala?

Pakikipaglaban kay Amalec.

Nang magkagayo'y (I)dumating si Amalec, at nakipaglaban sa Israel sa Rephidim.

At sinabi ni Moises kay Josue, Ipili mo tayo ng mga lalake, at ikaw ay lumabas, lumaban ka kay Amalec; bukas ay tatayo ako sa taluktok ng burol, na aking tangan ang (J)tungkod ng Dios sa aking kamay.

10 Gayon ginawa ni Josue, gaya ng sinabi ni Moises sa kaniya, at lumaban kay Amalec: at si Moises, si Aaron at si Hur ay sumampa sa taluktok ng burol.

11 At nangyari, pagka itinataas ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay, ay nananaig ang Israel: at pagka kaniyang ibinababa ang kaniyang kamay, ay nananaig si Amalec.

12 Datapuwa't ang mga kamay ni Moises ay nangalay; at sila'y kumuha ng isang bato, at inilagay sa ibaba, at kaniyang inupuan; at inalalayan ni Aaron at ni Hur ang kaniyang mga kamay, ang isa'y sa isang dako, at ang isa'y sa kabilang dako; at ang kaniyang mga kamay ay nalagi sa itaas hanggang sa paglubog ng araw.

13 At nilito ni Josue si Amalec, at ang kaniyang bayan, sa pamamagitan ng talim ng tabak.

14 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Isulat mo ito na pinakaalaala sa isang aklat, at ipagbigay alam mo kay Josue (K)na aking ipalilimot ang pagalaala kay Amalec sa silong ng langit.

15 At nagtayo si Moises ng isang dambana, at pinanganlang Jehovanissi.[a]

16 At kaniyang sinabi, Isinumpa ng Panginoon: ang Panginoon ay makikipagdigma kay Amalec sa buong panahon ng lahi nito.

El agua de la roca

17 Toda la comunidad israelita partió del desierto de Sin por etapas, según lo había ordenado el Señor. Acamparon en Refidín, pero no había allí agua para que bebieran, así que discutieron con Moisés.

—Danos agua para beber —le exigieron.

—¿Por qué discuten conmigo? —se defendió Moisés—. ¿Por qué provocan al Señor?

Pero los israelitas estaban sedientos, y murmuraron contra Moisés.

—¿Para qué nos sacaste de Egipto? —reclamaban—. ¿Solo para matarnos de sed a nosotros, a nuestros hijos y a nuestro ganado?

Clamó entonces Moisés al Señor y dijo:

—¿Qué voy a hacer con este pueblo? ¡Solo falta que me maten a pedradas!

—Adelántate al pueblo —le aconsejó el Señor— y llévate contigo a algunos jefes de Israel, pero lleva también la vara con que golpeaste el Nilo. Ponte en marcha, que yo estaré esperándote junto a la roca que está en Horeb. Dale un golpe a la roca, y de ella brotará agua para que beba el pueblo.

Así lo hizo Moisés, a la vista de los jefes de Israel. Además, a ese lugar lo llamó Masá,[a] y también Meribá,[b] porque los israelitas habían probado al Señor y altercado con él, al decir: «¿Está o no está el Señor entre nosotros?».

Derrota de los amalecitas

Los amalecitas vinieron a Refidín y atacaron a los israelitas. Entonces Moisés ordenó a Josué: «Escoge algunos de nuestros hombres y sal a combatir a los amalecitas. Mañana yo estaré en la cima de la colina con la vara de Dios en la mano».

10 Josué siguió las órdenes de Moisés y presentó batalla a los amalecitas. Por su parte, Moisés, Aarón y Hur subieron a la cima de la colina. 11 Mientras Moisés mantenía los brazos[c] en alto, la batalla se inclinaba en favor de los israelitas; pero cuando los bajaba, se inclinaba en favor de los amalecitas. 12 Cuando a Moisés se le cansaron los brazos, tomaron una piedra y se la pusieron debajo para que se sentara en ella. Luego Aarón y Hur sostuvieron sus brazos, uno el izquierdo y otro el derecho, y así Moisés pudo mantenerlos firmes hasta la puesta del sol. 13 Fue así como Josué derrotó al ejército amalecita a filo de espada.

14 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: «Pon esto por escrito en un rollo para que se recuerde, y que lo oiga bien Josué: Yo borraré por completo, bajo el cielo, todo rastro de los amalecitas».

15 Moisés edificó un altar y lo llamó «El Señor es mi estandarte». 16 Y exclamó: «porque levantó su mano contra[d] el trono del Señor,[e] la guerra del Señor contra Amalec será de generación en generación».

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. 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)

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?”

Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone(J) me.”

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. 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. 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

The Amalekites(R) came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.(S) 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)

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.

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?

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?

And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.

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.

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.

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?

Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

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.
