Esodo 17

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Igitur profecta omnis congregatio filiorum Israel de deserto Sin per mansiones suas iuxta sermonem Domini, castrametati sunt in Raphidim, ubi non erat aqua ad bibendum populo.	1 Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Qui iurgatus contra Moysen ait: “ Da nobis aquam, ut bibamus ”. Quibus respondit Moyses: “ Quid iurgamini contra me? Cur tentatis Dominum? ”.	2 And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you tempt the Lord?
3 Sitivit ergo ibi populus prae aquae penuria et murmuravit contra Moysen dicens: “ Cur fecisti nos exire de Aegypto, ut occideres nos et liberos nostros ac iumenta siti? ”.	3 So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst?
4 Clamavit autem Moyses ad Dominum dicens: “ Quid faciam populo huic? Adhuc paululum et lapidabunt me ”.	4 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me.
5 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: “ Antecede populum et sume tecum de senioribus Israel, et virgam, qua percussisti fluvium, tolle in manu tua et vade.	5 And the Lord said to Moses: God before the people, and take with thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith thou didst strike the river, and go.
6 En ego stabo coram te ibi super petram Horeb; percutiesque petram, et exibit ex ea aqua, ut bibat populus ”. Fecit Moyses ita coram senioribus Israel.	6 Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb: and thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel:
7 Et vocavit nomen loci illius Massa et Meriba, propter iurgium filiorum Israel et quia tentaverunt Dominum dicentes: “ Estne Dominus in nobis an non? ”.	7 And he called the name of that place Temptation, because the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not?
8 Venit autem Amalec et pugnabat contra Israel in Raphidim.	8 And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
9 Dixitque Moyses ad Iosue: “ Elige nobis viros et egressus pugna contra Amalec; cras ego stabo in vertice collis habens virgam Dei in manu mea ”.	9 And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men: and go out and fight against Amalec: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill having the rod of God in my hand.
10 Fecit Iosue, ut locutus erat ei Moyses, et pugnavit contra Amalec; Moyses autem et Aaron et Hur ascenderunt super verticem collis.	10 Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur went up upon the top of the hill.
11 Cumque levaret Moyses manus, vincebat Israel; sin autem remisisset, superabat Amalec.	11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.
12 Manus autem Moysi erant graves; sumentes igitur lapidem posuerunt subter eum, in quo sedit; Aaron autem et Hur sustentabant manus eius ex utraque parte. Et factum est ut manus eius non lassarentur usque ad occasum solis.	12 And Moses' hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass that his hands were not weary until sunset.
13 Vicitque Iosue Amalec et populum eius in ore gladii.	13 And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.
14 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: “ Scribe hoc ob monumentum in libro et trade auribus Iosue; delebo enim memoriam Amalec sub caelo ”.	14 And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Josue: for I will destroy the memory of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Aedificavitque Moyses altare et vocavit nomen eius Dominus Nissi (Dominus vexillum meum)	15 And Moses built an altar: and called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying:
16 dicens: “ Quia manus contra solium Domini: bellum Domino erit contra Amalec a generatione in generationem ”.	16 Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
