New International Version NIV
8 Allora venne Amalek a dar battaglia a Israele a Refidim.
8
The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
9 E Mosè disse a Giosuè: "Facci una scelta d’uomini ed esci a combattere contro Amalek; domani io starò sulla vetta del colle col bastone di Dio in mano".
9
Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.”
10 Giosuè fece come Mosè gli aveva detto, e combatté contro Amalek; e Mosè, Aaronne e Hur salirono sulla vetta del colle.
10
So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill.
11 E avvenne che, quando Mosè teneva la mano alzata, Israele vinceva; e quando la lasciava cadere, vinceva Amalek.
11
As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
12 Or siccome le mani di Mosè s’eran fatte stanche, essi presero una pietra, gliela posero sotto, ed egli vi si mise a sedere; e Aaronne e Hur gli sostenevano le mani: l’uno da una parte, l’altro dall’altra; così le sue mani rimasero immobili fino al tramonto del sole.
12
When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
13 E Giosuè sconfisse Amalek e la sua gente, mettendoli a fil di spada.
13
So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
