Water from the Rock
1Then ⚓all the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of ⚓Sin, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to ⚓drink.
2⚓Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, “Give us water, that we may drink.”
So Moses said to them, “Why do you contend with me? Why do you ⚓tempt the Lord?”
3And the people thirsted there for water, and the people ⚓complained against Moses, and said, “Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our ⚓livestock with thirst?”
4So Moses ⚓cried out to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to ⚓stone me!”
5And the Lord said to Moses, ⚓“Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which ⚓you struck the river, and go.
6⚓Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7So he called the name of the place ⚓Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”
Victory over the Amalekites
8⚓Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with ⚓the rod of God in my hand.”
10So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11And so it was, when Moses ⚓held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14Then the Lord said to Moses, ⚓“Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that ⚓I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”
15And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner;
16for he said, “Because the Lord has ⚓sworn: the Lordwill have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Dej Tawm Hauv Pobzeb Los
1Cov Yixalayees sawv kev ntawm tiaj suabpuam Xees los, lawv tshais chaw ib qho rau ib qho ua ntu zus raws li tus TSWV hais. Lawv los tsuam chaw rau ntawm Lefidees, tiamsis thaj tsam ntawd tsis muaj dej haus hlo li.
2Lawv thiaj tuaj yws Mauxes hais tias, “Cia li nrhiav dej rau peb haus!”
Mauxes teb lawv hais tias, “Vim li cas nej yuav yws li ko? Ua cas nej yuav sim tus TSWV siab?”
3Tiamsis cov neeg nqhis dej heev mas lawv thiaj pheej yws Mauxes tsis tseg li. Lawv yws hais tias, “Vim li cas koj thiaj coj peb tawm nram tebchaws Iziv los? Koj puas paub hais tias, peb cov menyuam, peb tej tsiaj txhu thiab peb twb yuav tuag dej?”
4Mauxes thov tus TSWV hais tias, “Kuv yuav ua li cas rau cov neeg no thiaj li zoo? Lawv twb yuav muab pobzeb ntaus kom kuv tuag.”
5Tus TSWV hais rau Mauxes hais tias, “Coj cov Yixalayees tej thawjcoj qee leej nrog koj, thiab nej cia li mus ua sawvdaws ntej. Nqa koj tus pas nrig uas koj nplawm tus dej Niles nrog koj mus.
6Kuv yuav sawv saum lub pobzeb uas nyob saum roob Xinais. Cia li ntaus lub pobzeb ntawd, dej yuav tawm hauv los rau cov neeg haus.” Mauxes ua li ntawd rau cov Yixalayees tej thawjcoj saib ntsoov.
7Thiaj tis npe rau qhov chaw ntawd hu ua Maxas thiab Melinpas, rau qhov cov Yixalayees tau yws thiab sim tus TSWV siab thaum lawv nug hais tias, “Tus TSWV nrog peb nyob los tsis nrog?”
Ua Rog Rau Cov Amalej
8Cov Amalej cov tubrog tuaj tua cov Yixalayees ntawm Lefidees.
9Mauxes hais rau Yausuas hais tias, “Tagkis koj cia li xaiv peb cov txivneej ib txhia mus tua cov Amalej. Kuv yuav mus sawv saum ncov roob thiab tsa tus pas nrig uas Vajtswv kom kuv nqa.”
10Yausuas ua raws li Mauxes tau samhwm rau nws, thiab tawm mus tua cov Amalej. Mauxes, Aloos thiab Hules lawv nce mus saum roob.
11Thaum Mauxes tsa nws txhais tes, cov Yixalayees tua yeej, tiamsis thaum nws tso tes, cov Amalej tua yeej zuj zus.
12Thaum Mauxes tsaug npab lawm, Aloos thiab Hules nkawd thiaj mus nqa pobzeb los rau Mauxes zaum, nkawd ib leeg sawv ib sab tuav Mauxes ob txhais npab, thiab tsa mus txog thaum hnub poob qho.
13Lawv ua li ntawd, Yausuas thiaj tua yeej cov Amalej.
14Ces tus TSWV hais rau Mauxes hais tias, “Koj cia li sau zaj no tseg cia, sawvdaws thiaj li yuav nco ntsoov mus ibtxhis. Qhia rau Yausuas paub hais tias, kuv yuav ua kom cov Amalej puastsuaj tas huv tibsi mus.”
15Mauxes ua tau ib lub thaj thiab tis npe rau lub thaj ntawd hu ua “Tus TSWV yog kuv tus Chij.”
16Mauxes hais tias, “Tsa tus TSWV tus chij kom siab! Tus TSWV yuav tawmtsam cov Amalej ib tiam dhau ib tiam, mus ibtxhis li!”
