Ang Tubig nga Nagaguwa sa Bato(A)

17 Sa sugo sang Ginoo, naghalin ang bug-os nga katilingban sang Israel sa kamingawan sang Sin kag nagpadayon sa pagpanglakaton. Nagsaylo-saylo sila halin sa isa ka lugar pakadto sa isa ka lugar. Sang ulihi, nagkampo sila sa Refidim, pero wala sila sing tubig nga mainom didto. Gani ginbais[a] nila si Moises kag nagsiling, “Hatagi kami sang tubig nga mainom.” Nagsabat si Moises, “Ngaa ginabais ninyo ako? Ngaa ginatestingan ninyo ang Ginoo?” Pero nauhaw gid ang mga tawo didto, gani padayon ang ila reklamo kay Moises. Nagsiling sila, “Ngaa bala ginpaguwa mo pa kami sa Egipto? Mapatay man lang gali kami diri sa kauhaw pati ang amon mga kabataan kag kasapatan.” Gani nagpangayo si Moises sang bulig sa Ginoo, “O Ginoo, ano bala ang himuon ko sa sini nga mga tawo? Halos batuhon na nila ako!” Nagsabat ang Ginoo kay Moises, “Kuhaa ang imo baston nga ginhampak mo sa Suba sang Nilo, kag mag-una ka sa mga tawo. Upda ang iban nga mga manugdumala sang Israel. Hulaton ko ikaw didto sa may bato sa Horeb.[b] Kon didto ka na, hampakon mo ang bato, kag magaguwa ang tubig nga mainom sang mga tawo.” Gani ginhimo ini ni Moises sa atubangan sang mga manugdumala sang Israel. Gintawag ni Moises ato nga lugar nga Masa[c] kag Meriba,[d] tungod kay ginbais siya sang mga Israelinhon kag gintestingan nila ang Ginoo paagi sa pagsiling, “Ginaupdan bala kita sang Ginoo ukon wala?”

Napierdi ang mga Amaleknon

Sang didto pa ang mga Israelinhon sa Refidim, ginsalakay sila sang mga Amaleknon. Nagsiling si Moises kay Josue, “Magpili ka sa aton mga tawo kag magpakig-away kamo sa mga Amaleknon. Magatindog ako buwas sa ibabaw sang bukid nga nagauyat sang baston nga ginsugo sang Dios nga akon dal-on.”

10 Gani nagpakig-away sila ni Josue sa mga Amaleknon suno sa ginsugo ni Moises samtang sila ni Moises, Aaron, kag Hur nagsaka sa bukid. 11 Kag samtang ginabayaw ni Moises ang iya kamot, nagadaog ang mga Israelinhon, pero kon paubuson niya gani ang iya kamot, nagadaog ang mga Amaleknon. 12 Sang ulihi ginkapoy na ang kamot ni Moises. Gani nagkuha si Aaron kag Hur sang bato kag ginpapungkuan ini kay Moises. Dayon ginbayaw ni Aaron ang isa ka kamot ni Moises kag amo man ang ginhimo ni Hur sa isa ka kamot hasta magsalop ang adlaw. 13 Gani napierdi nila ni Josue ang mga Amaleknon.

14 Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Moises, “Isulat mo ini sa libro agod indi malipatan kag ipahibalo mo ini kay Josue: Dulaon ko gid sing bug-os ang mga Amaleknon.”

15 Naghimo si Moises sang halaran kag gintawag ini nga, “Ang Ginoo amo ang akon Bandera sa Pagdaog.” 16 Nagsiling siya, “Tungod nga gintaya sang mga Amaleknon ang ila mga inumol sa trono sang Ginoo, padayon nga magapakig-away ang Ginoo kontra sa ila hasta san-o.”

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.
