< 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.
Pakai thupeh bang in Israel chate abonchauvin Sin gammang akon in akitol uvin mun khat akon munchom khat'a akitol leuvin ahi. Rephidem kiti mun'na ngahmun akisem'uvin hinlah hiche lai mun'na chun twidon ding aumta pon ahi.
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?”
Mipi jong Mose heng'a avel lin a phunchel kit tauvin, “Don ding twi neipe uvin,” ati tauve. Mose'n a donbut in ajah uva, “Ipi ding'a kei koma ki phin'a na hiuvem? Chule ipi ding'a nang hon Pakai na patep u ham?”
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?”
Mipihon twi angaicha jing uvin Mose dounan thu aseijun akiphin gam tauvin, “Ipi ding'a Egypt gamsung'a kon'na nei hin puidoh mong mong'u hitam? Nangman keiho le, ka chate'u chule ka gan chate'u ka boncha uva dangchah'a thigam sah ding nei got uva hitam?” tin asei uve.
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.”
Chuin Mose jong Pathen heng'a kap pum'in ataovin, “Hiche miteho ding'a ipi kabol ding hitam? Song'a selih ding eigo tauve,” ati.
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.
“Chuin Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Mipiho ma'sang a konchun ki khen doh tem'in chule Nile vadung San najepna tenggol chu kichoiyin lang Israel upa ho phabep kipuijin.”
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.
“Keiman Sinai molsang songpi chungvum'ma ka dinpi ding nahiye, chuteng songpi chu jep lechun twi hung kikho doh jeng ding, Israel miten adon thei diu ahitai,” ati.
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?”
Mose'n jong hiche mun chu Massah asah tan ahi (hichu ‘patepna’ tia kihe ahi) Chule Maribah (hichu ‘ki khoh doh’ tina ahi) ajeh chu Isreal mite Mose heng'a aphunchil uva, Pakai doumah jing asei doh uvin, “Na Pakaiyin keiho hikoma hi ei umpi mong uva hinam?” atiuvin ahi.
8 And Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
Israel mite Rephidim mun aum jinglai yun, Amalek mite ahung kon uvin akisat petauve.
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.”
Chuin Mose'n jong Joshua heng'a thupeh aneiyin, “Amalek mite toh kisat ding pasal galsat ding phabep khat lheng doh tem'in. Jing nikho le keima gamlah molsang'a ka din ding hichea chu Pathen bantha hat ka dopsang'a ka pan ding ahi,” ati.
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.
Mose thupeh bang'in, Joshua'n jong Galsat ding pasal phabep alheng doh tan Amalek mite chu gal akisat pi tauvin ahi. Chuin Mose, Aaron leh Hur amaho cheng chu gam lah molsang lam'a akal tou tauvin ahi.
11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed. But when he released them a little while, Amalek overcame.
Mose'n akhut teni a dopsang chan in Israel mite ahat be cheh jiuvin, chule akhutteni akham teng le vang Amelek mite ahat jita uvin ahi.
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.
Mose khut teni chu ahung khaam tan ahile aman jong adomsang joutapon chuin Aaron le Hur'in jong akhut ngap nading'in song ahol le hontan, a khut teni chu song chung'a angam lhan toumun in nilhum keijin akhut chu chol lou helin a domsang thei tan ahiye.
13 And Joshua put to flight Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.
Ajonan Joshua le agalsat mihon Amelek mite chu ajoutaovin ahi.
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.”
Gal ajo phat uvin, Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Het jing na ding'in lekhajol khat lanlang hiche gal kisat chung chang thuhi sunlut'in lang Joshua nabeng'a avella nasim peh tan: vannoiya Amalek kihetna kiti keiman kasuh mang hel ahitai,” ati.
15 And Moses built an altar. And he called its name, ‘The Lord, my Exaltation.’ For he said:
Mose'n jong hiche lai munna chun maicham asem in, “YAWEH-NISSI” (Pakai chu kaponlop ahi) tin asah tai.
16 “The hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord, will be against Amalek from generation to generation.”
Aman aseijin, “Amalek mite'n Pakai doumah'a chon masao ahin, tunvang! Pakaiyin imatih channa Amalek mite akidou peding ahitai,” ati.
