| 1以色列子民全會眾按照上主的吩咐，由欣曠野起程，一站一站地前行，然後在勒非丁安了營。在那裏百姓沒有水喝， | 1Then 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因此百姓與梅瑟爭吵說：「給我們水喝罷！」梅瑟回答他們說：「你們為什麼與我爭吵，為什麼試探上主？」 | 2And 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因百姓在那裏渴望水喝，就抱怨梅瑟說：「你為什麼從埃及領我們上來？難道要使我們，我們的子女和牲畜都渴死嗎？」 | 3So 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梅瑟向上主呼號說：「我要怎樣對待這百姓呢？他們幾乎願用石頭砸死我！」 | 4And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me. |
| 5上主回答梅瑟說：「你到百姓面前去，帶上幾個以色列長老，手中拿着你擊打尼羅河的棍杖去！ | 5And the Lord said to Moses: Go 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看，我要在你面前站在曷勒布那裏的磐石上，你擊打磐石，就有水流出來，給百姓喝。」梅瑟就在以色列的長老眼前照樣作了。 | 6Behold 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他稱那地方為瑪撒和默黎巴，因為以色列子民在那裏爭吵過，並試探過上主說：「上主是否在我們中間？」 | 7And 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那時有阿瑪肋克人，來在勒非丁同以色列人作戰。 | 8And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim. |
| 9梅瑟向若蘇厄說：「你給我們選拔壯丁，明天去同阿瑪肋克作戰，我手中拿着天主的棍杖，站在這高岡頂上。」 | 9And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men: and go out and fight against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill having the rod of God in my hand. |
| 10若蘇厄就照梅瑟吩咐他的作了，去同阿瑪肋克作戰；同時梅瑟、亞郎和胡爾上了那高岡頂上。 | 10Josue 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當梅瑟舉手的時候，以色列就打勝仗；放下手的時候，阿瑪肋克就打勝仗。 | 11And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame. |
| 12終於梅瑟的手舉疲乏了。他們就搬了塊石頭來，放在他下邊，叫他坐下，亞郎和胡爾，一邊一個托着他的手：這樣他的手舉着不動，直到日落的時候。 | 12And 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於是若蘇厄用刀劍打敗了阿瑪肋克和他的人民。 | 13And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword. |
| 14上主向梅瑟說：「將這事寫在書上作為記念，並訓示若蘇厄，我要從天下把阿瑪肋克的記念完全消滅。」 | 14And 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梅瑟築了一座祭壇，給它起名叫「雅威尼息」， | 15And Moses built an altar: and called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying: |
| 16說：「向上主的旌旗舉手，上主必世世代代與阿瑪肋克作戰。」 | 16Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation. |
