Liber Exodus

Exodus, chapter 17, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 17 Vulgate

   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.
   2 Qui iurgatus contra Moysen ait: "Da nobis aquam, ut bibamus" Quibus respondit Moyses: "Quid iurgamini contra me? Cur tentatis Dominum?"
   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?"
   4 Clamavit autem Moyses ad Dominum dicens: "Quid faciam populo huic? Adhuc paululum et lapidabunt 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.
   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.
   7 Et vocavit nomen loci illius Massa et Meriba, propter iurgium filiorum Israel et quia tentaverunt Dominum dicentes: "Estne Dominus in nobis an non?"
   8 Venit autem Amalec et pugnabat contra 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"
   10 Fecit Iosue, ut locutus erat ei Moyses, et pugnavit contra Amalec; Moyses autem et Aaron et Hur ascenderunt super verticem collis.
   11 Cumque levaret Moyses manus, vincebat Israel; sin autem remisisset, superabat Amalec.
   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.
   13 Vicitque Iosue Amalec et populum eius in ore gladii.
   14 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: "Scribe hoc ob monumentum in libro et trade auribus Iosue; delebo enim memoriam Amalec sub caelo"
   15 Aedificavitque Moyses altare et vocavit nomen eius Dominus Nissi (Dominus vexillum meum)
   16 dicens: "Quia manus contra solium Domini: bellum Domino erit contra Amalec a generatione in generationem"

King James Version

   1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
   2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
   3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
   4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
   5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
   6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may 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 chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
   8 ¶ Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
   9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
   10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
   11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
   12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
   13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
   14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
   15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
   16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
