Exodus 17
|
| Partiu toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel do deserto de Sim, pelas suas jornadas, segundo o mandamento do Senhor, e acamparam em Refidim; e não havia ali água para o povo beber. | And the children of Israel went on from the waste land of Sin, by stages as the Lord gave them orders, and put up their tents in Rephidim: and there was no drinking-water for the people. |
| Então o povo contendeu com Moisés, dizendo: Dá-nos água para beber. Respondeu-lhes Moisés: Por que contendeis comigo? por que tentais ao Senhor? | So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking. And Moses said, Why are you angry with me? and why do you put God to the test? |
| Mas o povo, tendo sede ali, murmurou contra Moisés, dizendo: Por que nos fizeste subir do Egito, para nos matares de sede, a nós e aos nossos filhos, e ao nosso gado? | And the people were in great need of water; and they made an outcry against Moses, and said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to send death on us and our children and our cattle through need of water? |
| Pelo que Moisés, clamando ao Senhor, disse: Que hei de fazer a este povo? daqui a pouco me apedrejará. | And Moses, crying out to the Lord, said, What am I to do to this people? they are almost ready to put me to death by stoning. |
| Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Passa adiante do povo, e leva contigo alguns dos anciãos de Israel; toma na mão a tua vara, com que feriste o rio, e vai-te. | And the Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take some of the chiefs of Israel with you, and take in your hand the rod which was stretched out over the Nile, and go. |
| Eis que eu estarei ali diante de ti sobre a rocha, em Horebe; ferirás a rocha, e dela sairá agua para que o povo possa beber. Assim, pois fez Moisés à vista dos anciãos de Israel. | See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel. |
| E deu ao lugar o nome de Massá e Meribá, por causa da contenda dos filhos de Israel, e porque tentaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Está o Senhor no meio de nós, ou não? | And he gave that place the name Massah and Meribah, because the children of Israel were angry, and because they put the Lord to the test, saying, Is the Lord with us or not? |
| Então veio Amaleque, e pelejou contra e Israel em Refidim. | Then Amalek came and made war on Israel in Rephidim. |
| Pelo que disse Moisés a Josué: Escolhe-nos homens, e sai, peleja contra Amaleque; e amanhã eu estarei sobre o cume do outeiro, tendo na mão a vara de Deus. | And Moses said to Joshua, Get together a band of men for us and go out, make war on Amalek: tomorrow I will take my place on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand. |
| Fez, pois, Josué como Moisés lhe dissera, e pelejou contra Amaleque; e Moisés, Arão, e Hur subiram ao cume do outeiro. | So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. |
| E acontecia que quando Moisés levantava a mão, prevalecia Israel; mas quando ele abaixava a mão, prevalecia Amaleque. | Now while Moses' hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hand go down, Amalek became the stronger. |
| As mãos de Moisés, porém, ficaram cansadas; por isso tomaram uma pedra, e a puseram debaixo dele, e ele sentou-se nela; Arão e Hur sustentavam-lhe as mãos, um de um lado e o outro do outro; assim ficaram as suas mãos firmes até o pôr do sol. | But Moses' hands became tired; so they put a stone under him and he took his seat on it, Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and one on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down. |
| Assim Josué prostrou a Amaleque e a seu povo, ao fio da espada. | And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the sword. |
| Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Escreve isto para memorial num livro, e relata-o aos ouvidos de Josué; que eu hei de riscar totalmente a memória de Amaleque de debaixo do céu. | And the Lord said to Moses, Make a record of this in a book, so that it may be kept in memory, and say it again in the ears of Joshua: that all memory of Amalek is to be completely uprooted from the earth. |
| Pelo que Moisés edificou um altar, ao qual chamou Jeová-Níssi. | Then Moses put up an altar and gave it the name of Yahweh-nissi: |
| E disse: Porquanto jurou o Senhor que ele fará guerra contra Amaleque de geração em geração. | For he said, The Lord has taken his oath that there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation. |
