So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 Kuom mano ogandano nongʼur ne Musa kawacho niya, “Wabiro modho angʼo?”
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 Eka Musa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo Jehova Nyasaye nonyise yien moro. Nobole ei pi mi pi obedo mamit. Kanyo ema Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogie buche kod chike kendo notemogi.
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
26 Nowachonegi niya, “Ka uchiko itu maber ne wach Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ma utimo gima kare e nyim wangʼe, ka urito chikene kendo umako buchene duto, to ok anakel kuomu tuo moro amora mane akelo ne jo-Misri, nimar an Jehova Nyasaye machangou.”
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
