1 و َسافَرَ جَمِيعُ بَني إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ صَحْراءِ سِينَ عَلَى مَراحِلَ، كَما قالَ اللهُ لَهُمْ. وَخَيَّمُوا فِي مَنْطِقَةِ رَفِيدِيمَ، لَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ ماءٌ لِيَشرَبُوا.

Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by stages from the wilderness of Sin, according to the command of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

2 ف َتَجادَلَ الشَّعبُ مَعَ مُوسَى، وَقالُوا لَهُ: «أعطِنا ماءً لِنَشرَبَ.» فَقالَ مُوسَى لَهُمْ: «لِماذا تُخاصِمُونَنِي؟ لِماذا تُجَرِّبُونَ صَبرَ اللهِ ؟»

Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water that we may drink.” And Moses said to them, “ Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord ?”

3 ل َكِنَّهُمْ عَطِشُوا وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَقالُوا: «لِماذا أخرَجْتَنا مِنْ مِصرَ، لِتَقتُلَنا نَحنُ وَأولادَنا وَماشِيَتَنا بِالعَطَشِ؟»

But the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said, “Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?”

4 ف َصَرَخَ مُوسَى إلَى اللهِ وَقالَ: «ماذا أفعَلُ بِهَذا الشَّعبِ؟ إنَّهُمْ يَكادُونَ يَرجُمُونَنِي.»

So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me.”

5 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «مُرَّ مِنْ أمامِ الشَّعبِ، وَخُذْ مَعكَ بَعضَ شُيُوخِ إسْرائِيلَ. وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ عَصاكَ الَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِها نَهْرَ النِّيلَ، وَاذْهَبْ.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.

6 س َأقِفُ أمامَكَ هُناكَ عَلَى صَخرَةِ حُورِيبَ. فَحِينَ تَضرِبُ الصَّخرَةَ، سَيَخرُجُ مِنها ماءٌ لِيَشرَبَ الشَّعبُ.» فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى ذَلِكَ أمامَ شُيُوخِ إسْرائِيلَ.

Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 و َدَعا المَكانَ بِاسْمِ «مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ» بِسَبَبِ مُخاصَمَةِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ للهِ وَبِسَبَبِ تَجرِبَتِهِمْ لِصَبرِهِ، إذْ قالُوا: «لِنَرَ إنْ كانَ يهوه فِي وَسَطِنا أمْ لا؟» الحربُ مَعَ عمالِيق

He named the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they tested the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us, or not?” Amalek Fought

8 و َأتَتْ قَبِيلَةُ عَمالِيقَ لِمُحارَبَةِ إسْرائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ.

Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.

9 ف َقالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «اختَرْ رِجالاً، وَاخرُجْ حارِبْ قَبِيلَةَ عَمالِيقَ. وَسَأقِفُ أنا غَداً عَلَى قِمَّةِ التَّلَّةِ وَعَصا اللهِ فِي يَدِي.»

So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”

10 ف َعَمِلَ يَشُوعُ كَما قالَ مُوسَى لَهُ، فَحارَبَ قَبِيلَةَ عَمالِيقَ. وَصَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ وَحُورُ إلَى قِمَّةِ التَّلَّةِ.

Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 و َحِينَ كانَ مُوسَى يَرفَعُ يَدَيهِ، كانَ إسْرائِيلُ يَنتَصِرُ. وَحِينَ كانَ يُنزِلُ يَدَيهِ، كانَ عَمالِيقُ يَنتَصِرُ.

So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.

12 و َحِينَ تَعِبَتْ يَدا مُوسَى، أخَذَ هارُونُ وَحُورُ حَجَراً وَوَضَعاهُ تَحْتَهُ. فَجَلَسَ مُوسَى عَلَى الحَجَرِ. وَأسْنَدَ هارُونُ وَحُورُ يَدَيهِ، كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنْ جِهَةٍ. فَظَلَّتْ يَداهُ ثابِتَتَينِ إلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمسِ.

But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set.

13 و َهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ عَمالِيقَ وَشَعبَهُ بِحَدِّ السَّيفِ.

So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اكتُبْ هَذا لِلذِّكرَى فِي كِتابٍ، وَقُلْ عَلَى مَسمَعِ يَشُوعَ: ‹سَأُلاشِي كُلَّ أثَرٍ لِقَبِيلَةِ عَمالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّماءِ.›»

Then the Lord said to Moses, “ Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”

15 و َبَنَى مُوسَى مَذبَحاً، وَدَعاهُ «يهوه رايَتِي.»

Moses built an altar and named it The Lord is My Banner;

16 و َقالَ: «أرفَعُ يَدَيَّ نَحوَ عَرشِ اللهِ وَأُقسِمُ: سَيُحارِبُ اللهُ قَبِيلَةَ عَمالِيقَ إلَى الأبَدِ.»

and he said, “ The Lord has sworn; the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
