2.Mose 17 | English Standard Version

Water from the Rock

1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.

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

3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?”

4 So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

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

6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will 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 quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

Israel Defeats Amalek

8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim.

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

10 So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12 But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13 And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.

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

15 And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner,

16 saying, “A hand upon the throne* of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

1 Tedy když se odebralo všecko shromáždění synů Izraelských z pouště Sin, po stanovištích svých vedlé rozkazu Hospodinova, položili se v Rafidim, kdež nebylo vod, kteréž by lid píti mohl.

2 Protož domlouval se lid na Mojžíše, pravě: Dejte nám vody, abychom pili. Jimž odpověděl Mojžíš: Proč se na mne domlouváte? Proč pokoušíte Hospodina?

3 I žíznil tu lid pro nedostatek vod, a reptal na Mojžíše a mluvil: Proč jsi vyvedl nás z Egypta, abys mne s syny i dobytky mými žízní zmořil?

4 Tedy volal Mojžíš k Hospodinu, řka: Což mám činiti s tím lidem? Však již tudíž ukamenují mne.

5 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Jdiž před lidem, pojma s sebou některé z starších Izraelských; hůl také svou kterouž jsi udeřil v vodu, vezmi do ruky své a jdi.

6 Aj, já státi budu před tebou tam na skále, na Orébě; i udeříš v skálu, a vyjdou z ní vody, kteréž bude píti lid. I učinil tak Mojžíš před očima starších Izraelských.

7 A dal jméno místu tomu Massah a Meribah, pro reptání synů Izraelských, a že pokoušeli Hospodina, řkouce: Jest-li Hospodin u prostřed nás, či není?

8 Přitáhl pak Amalech, a bojoval s Izraelem v Rafidim.

9 I řekl Mojžíš k Jozue: Vybeř nám některé muže, a vytáhna, bojuj s Amalechem; já zítra státi budu na vrchu hory, a hůl Boží v ruce své míti budu.

10 Tedy Jozue udělal tak, jakž mu poručil Mojžíš, a bojoval s Amalechem; Mojžíš pak, Aron a Hur vstoupili na vrch hory.

11 A dokudž Mojžíš vzhůru držel ruce své, vítězil Izrael; ale jakž opouštěl ruku svou, přemáhal Amalech.

12 Ale že ruce Mojžíšovy byly obtíženy, protož vzavše kámen, podložili pod něho, a on sedl na něm; Aron pak a Hur podpírali ruce jeho, jeden z jedné, druhý z druhé strany. I byly obě ruce jeho vztažené až do západu slunce.

13 A tak porazil Jozue Amalecha i lid jeho mečem.

14 Mluvil potom Hospodin k Mojžíšovi: Vpiš to do knih na památku, a pilně to vkládej v uši Jozue, že do konce vyhladím památku Amalechovu všudy pod nebem.

15 Tedy vzdělal Mojžíš oltář a nazval jméno jeho: Hospodin korouhev má.

16 Nebo řekl: Tak má jmenován býti, proto že ruka nad trůnem Hospodinovým osvědčuje boj Hospodinův proti Amalechovi od národu až do národu.
