Exodus 17

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 From the desert of Sin the whole Israelite community journeyed by stages, as the LORD directed, and encamped at Rephidim. Here there was no water for the people to drink.	1 Sva izraelska zajednica po Jahvinoj zapovijedi krene dalje iz pustinje Sina. Utabore se kod Refidima. Tu nije bilo vode da narod pije.
2 They quarreled, therefore, with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses replied, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the LORD to a test?"	2 Zato narod zapodjene prepirku s Mojsijem. Vikali su: »Daj nam vode da pijemo!« A Mojsije im odgovori: »Zašto se sa mnom prepirete? Zašto kušate Jahvu?«
3 Here, then, in their thirst for water, the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "Why did you ever make us leave Egypt? Was it just to have us die here of thirst with our children and our livestock?"	3 Ali je narod žeđao za vodom, pa je mrmljao na Mojsija i govorio: »Zašto si nas iz Egipta izveo? Zar da nas žeđom pomoriš, nas, našu djecu i našu stoku?«
4 So Moses cried out to the LORD, "What shall I do with this people? A little more and they will stone me!"	4 »Što ću s ovim narodom!« – zazivao je Mojsije Jahvu. »Još malo pa će me kamenovati.«
5 The LORD answered Moses, "Go over there in front of the people, along with some of the elders of Israel, holding in your hand, as you go, the staff with which you struck the river.	5 »Istupi pred narod!« – rekne Jahve Mojsiju. »Uzmi sa sobom nekoliko izraelskih starješina; uzmi u ruku štap kojim si udario Rijeku i pođi.
6 I will be standing there in front of you on the rock in Horeb. Strike the rock, and the water will flow from it for the people to drink." This Moses did, in the presence of the elders of Israel.	6 A ja ću stajati pred tobom ondje, na pećini na Horebu. Udari po pećini: iz nje će poteći voda, pa neka se narod napije.« Mojsije učini tako naočigled izraelskih starješina.
7 The place was called Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarreled there and tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD in our midst or not?"	7 Mjesto prozovu Masa i Meriba, zbog toga što su se Izraelci prepirali i kušali Jahvu govoreći: »Je li Jahve među nama ili nije?«
8 At Rephidim, Amalek came and waged war against Israel.	8 Uto dođu Amalečani i zarate s Izraelcima kod Refidima.
9 Moses, therefore, said to Joshua, "Pick out certain men, and tomorrow go out and engage Amalek in battle. I will be standing on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand."	9 A Mojsije reče Jošui: »Odaberi momčad pa pođi i zapodjeni borbu s Amalečanima. Ja ću sutra stati na vrh brda, sa štapom Božjim u ruci.«
10 So Joshua did as Moses told him: he engaged Amalek in battle after Moses had climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur.	10 Jošua učini kako mu je Mojsije rekao te zađe u borbu s Amalečanima, a Mojsije, Aron i Hur uzađoše na vrh brda.
11 As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight.	11 I dok bi Mojsije držao ruke uzdignute, Izraelci bi nadjačavali; a kad bi ruke spustio, nadjačavali bi Amalečani.
12 Moses' hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on. Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.	12 Ali Mojsiju ruke napokon klonu. Zato uzeše kamen, staviše ga poda nj i on sjede, dok mu Aron i Hur, jedan s jedne, a drugi s druge strane, držahu ruke, tako da mu izdržaše do sunčanog zalaska.
13 And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.	13 I Jošua oštricom mača svlada Amaleka i njegov narod.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this down in a document as something to be remembered, and recite it in the ears of Joshua: I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under the heavens."	14 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: »Zapiši ovo u knjigu na sjećanje i utuvi u uši Jošui da ću ja spomen na Amalečane sasvim izbrisati pod nebom!«
15 Moses also built an altar there, which he called Yahweh-nissi;	15 Podiže zatim Mojsije žrtvenik i nazva ga: Jahve mi je stijeg!
16 for he said, "The LORD takes in hand his banner; the LORD will war against Amalek through the centuries."	16 »Jer«, reče, »Jahvin stijeg u ruku! Jahvin je boj protiv Amalečana od naraštaja do naraštaja!«
