| 17 | 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. | igitur profecta omnis multitudo filiorum Israhel de deserto Sin per mansiones suas iuxta sermonem Domini castrametata est in Raphidim ubi non erat aqua ad bibendum populo |
| 17 | 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? | qui iurgatus contra Mosen ait da nobis aquam ut bibamus quibus respondit Moses quid iurgamini contra me cur temptatis Dominum |
| 17 | 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? | sitivit ergo populus ibi pro aquae penuria et murmuravit contra Mosen dicens cur nos exire fecisti de Aegypto ut occideres et nos et liberos nostros ac iumenta siti |
| 17 | 4 | And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me. | clamavit autem Moses ad Dominum dicens quid faciam populo huic adhuc pauxillum et lapidabunt me |
| 17 | 5 | And 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. | ait Dominus ad Mosen antecede populum et sume tecum de senibus Israhel et virgam qua percussisti fluvium tolle in manu tua et vade |
| 17 | 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: | en ego stabo coram te ibi super petram Horeb percutiesque petram et exibit ex ea aqua ut bibat populus fecit Moses ita coram senibus Israhel |
| 17 | 7 | And he called the name of that place Temptation, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not? | et vocavit nomen loci illius Temptatio propter iurgium filiorum Israhel et quia temptaverunt Dominum dicentes estne Dominus in nobis an non |
| 17 | 8 | And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim. | venit autem Amalech et pugnabat contra Israhel in Raphidim |
| 17 | 9 | And 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. | dixitque Moses ad Iosue elige viros et egressus pugna contra Amalech cras ego stabo in vertice collis habens virgam Dei in manu mea |
| 17 | 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. | fecit Iosue ut locutus ei erat Moses et pugnavit contra Amalech Moses autem et Aaron et Hur ascenderunt super verticem collis |
| 17 | 11 | And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame; but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame. | cumque levaret Moses manus vincebat Israhel sin autem paululum remisisset superabat Amalech |
| 17 | 12 | And Moses's 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. | manus autem Mosi 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 ipsius non lassarentur usque ad occasum solis |
| 17 | 13 | And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword. | fugavitque Iosue Amalech et populum eius in ore gladii |
| 17 | 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. | dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen scribe hoc ob monumentum in libro et trade auribus Iosue delebo enim memoriam Amalech sub caelo |
| 17 | 15 | And Moses built an altar; and called the name thereof, The Lord, my exaltation, saying: | aedificavitque Moses altare et vocavit nomen eius Dominus exaltatio mea dicens |
| 17 | 16 | Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation. | quia manus solii Domini et bellum Dei erit contra Amalech a generatione in generationem |
