17：8那时，亚玛力人来在利非订，和以色列人争战。
Then came Amalek； and fought with Israel in Rephidim。
17：9摩西对约书亚说，你为我们选出人来，出去和亚玛力人争战。明天我手里要拿着神的杖，站在山顶上。
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。
17：10于是约书亚照着摩西对他所说的话行，和亚玛力人争战。摩西，亚伦，与户珥都上了山顶。
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。
17：11摩西何时举手，以色列人就得胜，何时垂手，亚玛力人就得胜。
And it came to pass； when Moses held up his hand； that Israel prevailed： and when he let down his hand； Amalek prevailed。
17：12但摩西的手发沉，他们就搬石头来，放在他以下，他就坐在上面。亚伦与户珥扶着他的手，一个在这边，一个在那边，他的手就稳住，直到日落的时候。
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。
17：13约书亚用刀杀了亚玛力王和他的百姓。
And Joshua disfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword。
17：14耶和华对摩西说，我要将亚玛力的名号从天下全然涂抹了，你要将这话写在书上作纪念，又念给约书亚听。
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。
17：15摩西筑了一座坛，起名叫耶和华尼西（就是耶和华是我旌旗的意思），
And Moses built an altar； and called the name of it Jehovahnissi：
17：16又说，耶和华已经起了誓，必世世代代和亚玛力人争战。
For he said； Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation。
旧约 出埃及记（Exodus） 第 18 章 （ 本篇共有 40 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
18：1摩西的岳父，米甸祭司叶忒罗，听见神为摩西和神的百姓以色列所行的一切事，就是耶和华将以色列从埃及领出来的事，
When Jethro； the priest of Midian； Moses' father in law； heard of all that God had done for Moses； and for Israel his people； and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt；
18：2便带着摩西的妻子西坡拉，就是摩西从前打发回去的，
Then Jethro； Moses' father in law； took Zipporah； Moses' wife； after he had sent her back；
18：3又带着西坡拉的两个儿子，一个名叫革舜，因为摩西说，我在外邦作了寄居的，
And her two sons； of which the name of the one was Gershom； for he said； I have been an alien in a strange land：
18：4一个名叫以利以谢，因为他说，我父亲的神帮助了我，救我脱离法老的刀。
And the name of the other was Eliezer； for the God of my father； said he； was mine help； and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh：
18：5摩西的岳父叶忒罗带着摩西的妻子和两个儿子来到神的山，就是摩西在旷野安营的地方。
And Jethro； Moses' father in law； came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness； where he encamped at the mount of God：
18：6他对摩西说，我是你岳父叶忒罗，带着你的妻子和两个儿子来到你这里。
And he said unto Moses； I thy father in law Jethro am e unto thee； and thy wife； and her two sons with her。
18：7摩西迎接他的岳父，向他下拜，与他亲嘴，彼此问安，都进了帐棚。
And Moses went out to meet his father in law； and did obeisance； and kissed him； and they asked each other of their welfare； and they came into the tent。
18：8摩西将耶和华为以色列的缘故向法老和埃及人所行的一切事，以及路上所遭遇的一切艰难，并耶和华怎样搭救他们，都述说与他岳父听。
And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake； and all the travail that had e upon them by the way； and how the LORD delivered them。
18：9叶忒罗因耶和华待以色列的一切好处，就是拯救他们脱离埃及人的手，便甚欢喜。
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel； whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians。
18：10叶忒罗说，耶和华是应当称颂的，他救了你们脱离埃及人和法老的手，将这百姓从埃及人的手下救出来。
And Jethro said； Blessed be the LORD； who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians； and out of the hand of Pharaoh； who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians。
18：11我现今在埃及人向这百姓发狂傲的事上得知，耶和华比万神都大。
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods： for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them。
18：12摩西的岳父叶忒罗把燔祭和平安祭献给神。亚伦和以色列的众长老都来了，与摩西的岳父在神面前吃饭。
And Jethro； Moses' father in law； took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God： and Aaron came； and all the elders of Israel； to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God。
18：13第二天，摩西坐着审判百姓，百姓从早到晚都站在摩西的左右。
And it came to pass on the morrow； that Moses sat to judge the people： and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening。
18：14摩西的岳父看见他向百姓所作的一切事，就说，你向百姓作的是什么事呢，你为什么独自坐着，众百姓从早到晚都站在你的左右呢。
And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people； he said； What is this thing that thou doest to the people？ why sittest thou thyself alone； and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even？
18：15摩西对岳父说，这是因百姓到我这里来求问神。
And Moses said unto his father in law； Because the people e unto me to enquire of God：
18：16他们有事的时候就到我这里来，我便在两造之间施行审判，我又叫他们知道神的律例和法度。
When they have a matter； they e unto me； and I judge between one and another； and I do make them know the statutes of God； and his laws。
18：17摩西的岳父说，你这作的不好。
And Moses' father in law said unto him； The thing that thou doest is not good。
18：18你和这些百姓必都疲惫，因为这事太重，你独自一人办理不了。
Thou wilt surely wear away； both thou； and this people that is with thee： for this thing is too heavy for thee； thou art not able to perform it thyself alone。
18：19现在你要听我的话。我为你出个主意，愿神与你同在。你要替百姓到神面前，将案件奏告神，
Hearken now unto my voice； I will give thee counsel； and God shall be with thee： Be thou for the people to God…ward； that thou mayest bring the causes unto God：
18：20又要将律例和法度教训他们，指示他们当行的道，当作的事，
And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws； and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk； and the work that they must do。
18：21并要从百姓中拣选有才能的人，就是敬畏神，诚实无妄，恨不义之财的人，派他们作千夫长，百夫长，五十夫长，十夫长，管理百姓，
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men； such as fear God； men of truth； hating covetousness； and place such over them； to be rulers of thousands； and rulers of hundreds； rulers of fifties； and rulers of tens：
18：22叫他们随时审判百姓，大事都要呈到你这里，小事他们自己可以审判。这样，你就轻省些，他们也可以同当此任。
And let them judge the people at all seasons： and it shall be； that every great matter they shall bring unto thee； but every small matter they shall judge： so shall it be easier for thyself； and they shall bear the burden with thee。
18：23你若这样行，神也这样吩咐你，你就能受得住，这百姓也都平平安安归回他们的住处。
If thou shalt do this thing； and God mand thee so； then thou shalt be able to endure； and all this people shall also go to their place in peace。
18：24于是，摩西听从他岳父的话，按着他所说的去行。
So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law； and did all that he had said。
18：25摩西从以色列人中拣选了有才能的人，立他们为百姓的首领，作千夫长，百夫长，五十夫长，十夫长。
And Moses chose able men out of all Israel； and made them heads over the people； rulers of thousands； rulers of hundreds； rulers of fifties； and rulers of tens。
18：26他们随时审判百姓，有难断的案件就呈到摩西那里，但各样小事他们自己审判。
And they judged the people at all seasons： the hard causes they brought unto Moses； but every small matter they judged themselves。
18：27此后，摩西让他的岳父去，他就往本地去了。
And Moses let his father in law depart； and he went his way into his own land。
旧约 出埃及记（Exodus） 第 19 章 （ 本篇共有 40 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
19：1以色列人出埃及地以后，满了三个月的那一天，就来到西奈的旷野。
In the third month； when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt； the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai。
19：2他们离了利非订，来到西奈的旷野，就在那里的山下安营。
For they were departed from Rephidim； and were e to the desert of Sinai； and had pitched in the wilderness； and there Israel camped before the mount。
19：3摩西到神那里，耶和华从山上呼唤他说，你要这样告诉雅各家，晓谕以色列人说，
And Moses went up unto God； and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain； saying； Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob； and tell the children of Israel；
19：4我向埃及人所行的事，你们都看见了，且看见我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上，带来归我。
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians； and how I bare you on eagles' wings； and brought you unto myself。
19：5如今你们若实在听从我的话，遵守我的约，就要在万民中作属我的子民，因为全地都是我的。
Now therefore； if ye will obey my voice indeed； and keep my covenant； then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people： for all the earth is mine：
19：6你们要归我作祭司的国度，为圣洁的国民。这些话你要告诉以色列人。
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests； and an holy nation。 These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel。
19：7摩西去召了民间的长老来，将耶和华所吩咐他的话都在他们面前陈明。
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people； and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD manded him。
19：8百姓都同声回答说，凡耶和华所说的，我们都要遵行。摩西就将百姓的话回覆耶和华。
And all the people answered together； and said； All that the LORD hath spoken we will do。 And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD。
19：9耶和华对摩西说，我要在密云中临到你那里，叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以听见，也可以永远信你了。于是，摩西将百姓的话奏告耶和华。
And the LORD said unto Moses； Lo； I e unto thee in a thick cloud； that the people may hear when I speak with thee； and believe thee for ever。 And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD。
19：10耶和华又对摩西说，你往百姓那里去，叫他们今天明天自洁，又叫他们洗衣服。
And the LORD said unto Moses； Go unto the people； and sanctify them to day and to morrow； and let them wash their
