Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim. And there was no water for the people to drink.
Te phoeiah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih tah BOEIPA olka bangla a longpueng kah Sin khosoek lamloh hlah uh tih Rephidim ah rhaeh uh. Te vaengah pilnam kah a ok ham tui om pawh.
2 Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why do ye contend with me? Why do ye challenge Jehovah?
Te dongah pilnam te Moses neh toh uh thae tih, “Kaimih he tui m'pae lamtah ka o pawn eh,” a ti uh. Te vaengah amih te Moses loh, “Balae tih kai te nan toe uh? Balae tih BOEIPA na noemcai?” a ti nah.
3 And the people thirsted there for water. And the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why have thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our sons and our cattle with thirst?
Tedae pilnam tah tui hal oeh. Te dongah pilnam te Moses taengah nul uh tih, “Balae tih Egypt lamloh kaimih nang khuen. Kamah neh ka ca rhoek neh ka tuihalh neh duek sak ham maco,” a ti nah.
4 And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.
Te vaengah Moses te BOEIPA taengah pang tih, “Pilnam ham he balae ka saii eh? Bet ca koinih kai n'dae uh hloe,” a ti nah.
5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee from the elders of Israel, and thy rod, with which thou smote the river, take in thy hand, and go.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam hmai ah lamhma lamtah Israel kah a ham rhoek te namah neh puei uh. Sokko na boh nah na conghol te na kut dongah pom lamtah cet.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shall 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.
Kamah he na mikhmuh kah Horeb lungpang soah ka pai ne. Lungpang te taam lamtah te lamloh tui ha phuet vaengah pilnam loh o saeh,” a ti nah. Te te Moses loh Israel a ham rhoek mikhmuh ah a saii pah.
7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contending of the sons of Israel, and because they challenged Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek kah tuituknah neh BOEIPA te a noemcai uh tih, “BOEIPA he mamih lakli ah om nim, om pawt nim?” a ti uh dongah a hmuen ming te Massah neh Meribah a sui.
8 Then Amalek came, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Tedae Rephidim ah tah Amalek ha pawk tih Israel a vathoh thil.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.
Te dongah Moses loh Joshua taengah, “Mamih ham hlang coelh laeh, khuen lamtah Amalek te tloek laeh. Thangvuen ah kai he som lu ah ka pai ni, ka kut ah Pathen kah conghol om ngawn,” a ti nah.
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.
Amalek te vathoh thil ham Moses loh amah a ti nah bangla Joshua loh a saii tangloeng. Moses, Aaron neh Hur tah tlang kah som lu la luei uh.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed, and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Moses loh a kut a thoh rhuet vaengah tah Israel loh a na dae a kut a hlak rhuet vaengah tah Amalek loh a na.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy. And they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. and Aaron and Hur held 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.
Tedae Moses kut a kha vaengah tah lungto a loh uh tih a dangah a phaih pa uh. Te phoeiah a soah ngol tih a kut te Aaron neh Hur loh khatben ah pakhat, khatben ah pakhat loh a moem pah. Te daengah a kut rhoi te khomik a tlak hil khuek om.
13 And Joshua weakened Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Te dongah Joshua loh Amalek neh a pilnam te cunghang ha neh a rhaa.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Poekkoepnah he cabu dongah daek lamtah Joshua hna ah dueh pah. Amalek poekkoepnah te vaan hmui lamloh ka khoe rhoe ka khoe ni,” a ti nah.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.
Te dongah Moses loh hmueihtuk a suem tih a ming te BOEIPA tah ka rholik la a khue.
16 And he said, Jehovah has sworn, Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Te vaengah, “Caemtloek BOEIPA kah ngolkhoel dongah kut ka phuel dongah BOEIPA loh Amalek te cadilcahma lamloh cadilcahma duela vathoh thil saeh,” a ti.
