Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in Raphidin: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele elongwaki na esobe ya Tsini mpe ezalaki kotambola kolanda ndenge Yawe azalaki kotinda. Batongaki molako na bango na Refidimi, kasi mayi ya komela ezalaki te mpo na bato.
2 And the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and Moses said to them, Why do you revile me, and why tempt you the Lord?
Bato ya Isalaele baswanisaki Moyize, balobaki na ye: — Pesa biso mayi ya komela! Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Mpo na nini bozali koswanisa ngai? Mpo na nini bolingi komeka Yawe?
3 And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? have you brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Lokola posa ya mayi elekaki makasi, bato bayimaki-yimaki epai ya Moyize mpe balobaki: — Mpo na nini obimisaki biso na Ejipito? Ezali mpo ete obomisa biso, bana na biso mpe bibwele na biso na posa ya mayi?
4 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little while and they will stone me.
Moyize abelelaki Yawe: — Nasala nini mpo na bato oyo? Etikali kaka moke ete babamba ngai mabanga!
5 And the Lord said to Moses, Go before this people, and take to yourself of the elders of the people; and the rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and you shall go.
Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Leka liboso ya bato, kamata ndambo ya bakambi ya Isalaele. Zwa na loboko na yo, lingenda oyo obetaki na ebale Nili, mpe kende.
6 Behold, I stand there before you [come], on the rock in Choreb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.
Ngai nakotelema kuna, liboso na yo, na likolo ya libanga oyo ezali na ngomba Orebi. Okobeta libanga yango, mpe yango ekobimisa mayi, bongo bato bakomela. Moyize asalaki bongo na miso ya bakambi ya Isalaele.
7 And he called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord amongst us or not?
Abengaki esika yango Masa mpe Meriba, pamba te bana ya Isalaele baswanisaki ye mpe bamekaki Yawe tango balobaki: « Boni, Yawe yango azali kati na biso to te? »
8 And Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
Bato ya Amaleki bayaki mpe babundisaki bana ya Isalaele na Refidimi.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for yourself mighty men, and go forth and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I [shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] in my hand.
Moyize alobaki na Jozue: — Ponela biso bilombe ya bitumba kati na bato; mpe lobi; wana yo okende kobundisa bato ya Amaleki, ngai nakotelema na likolo ya ngomba moke elongo na lingenda ya Nzambe na loboko na ngai.
10 And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or went up to the top of the hill.
Jozue asalaki ndenge Moyize atindaki ye mpe abundisaki bato ya Amaleki; wana Moyize, Aron mpe Wuri bamataki likolo ya ngomba.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalec prevailed.
Tango nyonso Moyize abandaki kotombola maboko na ye mpo na kobondela, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kolonga; kasi tango nyonso azalaki kokitisa maboko na ye, bato ya Amaleki bazalaki kolonga.
12 But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.
Tango maboko ya Moyize elembaki, Aron mpe Wuri bakamataki libanga mpe batielaki ye yango mpo ete avandela yango; mpe Moyize avandelaki yango. Aron mpe Uri batombolaki maboko na ye, moko na ngambo moko, mpe mosusu na ngambo mosusu. Boye maboko na ye etikalaki ya kosembolama kino na pokwa.
13 And Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of the sword.
Mpe Jozue alongaki basoda ya bato ya Amaleki na mopanga.
14 And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak [this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalec from under heaven.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Koma yango na buku lokola ekaniseli, mpe loba na Jozue ete nakosilisa bato ya Amaleki na mokili; bakotikala kokanisa bango lisusu te.
15 And Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord my Refuge.
Moyize atongaki etumbelo mpe abengaki yango « Nkolo azali bendele na ngai ya lokumu. »
16 For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
Moyize alobaki: « Lokola esali ete babundisi Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Yawe, Yawe akobundisa bato ya Amaleki tango nyonso. »
