Exodus 17
1 And so, the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, having set out from the desert of Sin in stages, according to the word of the Lord, made camp at Rephidim, where 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 And arguing against Moses, they said, “Give us water, so that we may drink.” And Moses answered them: “Why argue against me? For what reason do you tempt the Lord?”
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 so the people were thirsty in that place, due to the scarcity of water, and they murmured against Moses, saying: “Why did you cause us to go out of Egypt, so as to kill us and our children, as well as 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 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, saying: “What shall I do with this people? A little while more and they will 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 the Lord said to Moses: “Go before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. And take in your hand the staff, with which you struck the river, and advance.
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 Lo, I will stand in that place before you, on the rock of Horeb. And you shall strike the rock, and water will go forth from it, so that the people may drink.” 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 that place ‘Temptation,’ because of the arguing of the sons of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying: “Is the Lord with 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 And Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
Tedae Rephidim ah tah Amalek ha pawk tih Israel a vathoh thil.
9 And Moses said to Joshua: “Choose men. And when you go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff 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 Joshua did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalek. But Moses and Aaron and Hur ascended to the top of the hill.
Amalek te vathoh thil ham Moses loh amah a ti nah bangla Joshua loha saii tangloeng. Moses, Aaron neh Hur tahtlangsom lu la luei uh.
11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed. But when he released them a little while, Amalek overcame.
Moses loh a kut a thoh rhuet vaengah tah Israel loh a na dae a kut a hlak rhuet vaengah tah Amalek a na.
12 Then the hands of Moses became heavy. And so, taking a stone, they placed it beneath him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur sustained his hands from both sides. And it happened that his hands did not tire until the setting of the sun.
Tedae Moses kut a kha vaengah tah lungto a loh uh tih a dangah a phaih pauh. 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 put to flight Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.
Te dongah Joshua loh Amalek neh a pilnam te cunghang ha neh a rhaa.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Write this, as a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Joshua. For I will wipe away the memory 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 he called its name, ‘The Lord, my Exaltation.’ For he said:
Te dongah Moses loh hmueihtuk a suem tih a ming te BOEIPA tah ka rholik la a khue.
16 “The hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord, will be against 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.
