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.
Gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli si gbéra láti jáde kúrò láti aginjù Sini wọ́n ń lọ láti ibi kan de ibi kan gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ. Wọ́n pàgọ́ sí Refidimu, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí omi fún àwọn ènìyàn láti mú.
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?”
Àwọn ènìyàn sì sọ̀ fún Mose, wọ́n wí pé, “Fún wa ni omi mu.” Mose dá wọn lóhùn wí pé, “Èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fi ń bá mi jà? Èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fi ń dán Olúwa wò?”
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?”
Ṣùgbọ́n òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n sì ń kùn sí Mose, wọ́n wí pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi mú wa jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti láti mú kí òǹgbẹ pa àwa, àwọn ọmọ wa àti ohun ọ̀sìn wa ku fún òǹgbẹ.”
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.”
Nígbà náà ni Mose gbé ohùn rẹ̀ sókè sí Olúwa pé, “Kí ni kí èmi kí ó ṣe fún àwọn ènìyàn yìí? Wọ́n múra tan láti sọ mi ni òkúta.”
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.
Olúwa sì dá Mose lóhùn pé, “Máa lọ síwájú àwọn ènìyàn, mú nínú àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli pẹ̀lú rẹ, mú ọ̀pá tí ìwọ fi lu odò Naili lọ́wọ́ kí ó sì máa lọ.
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.
Èmi yóò dúró ni ibẹ̀ dè ọ ni orí àpáta ni Horebu. Ìwọ ó sì lu àpáta, omi yóò sì jáde nínú rẹ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn láti mu.” Mose sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iwájú àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli.
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?”
Ó sì sọ orúkọ ibẹ̀ ni Massa àti Meriba, nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ̀, wọ́n sì dán Olúwa wò, wọ́n wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ Olúwa ń bẹ láàrín wa tàbí kò sí?”
8 And Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
Àwọn ara Amaleki jáde, wọ́n sì dìde ogun sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ni Refidimu.
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.”
Mose sì sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Yàn lára àwọn ọkùnrin fún wa, kí wọn ó sì jáde lọ bá àwọn ará Amaleki jà. Ní ọ̀la, èmi yóò dúró ni orí òkè pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá Ọlọ́run ní ọwọ́ mi.”
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.
Joṣua ṣe bí Mose ti wí fún un, ó sì bá àwọn ará Amaleki jagun; nígbà tí Mose, Aaroni àti Huri lọ sí orí òkè náà.
11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed. But when he released them a little while, Amalek overcame.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí Mose bá gbé apá rẹ̀ sókè, Israẹli n borí ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó bá sì rẹ apá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, Amaleki a sì borí.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n apá ń ro Mose, wọ́n mú òkúta, wọ́n sì fi sí abẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì jókòó lé òkúta náà; Aaroni àti Huri sì mu ní apá rẹ̀, ọ̀kan ní apá ọ̀tún àti èkejì ni apá òsì; apá rẹ̀ méjèèjì sì dúró gangan títí di ìgbà ti oòrùn wọ.
13 And Joshua put to flight Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.
Joṣua sì fi ojú idà ṣẹ́gun àwọn ará Amaleki.
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.”
Olúwa sì sọ fun Mose pé. “Kọ èyí sì inú ìwé fún ìrántí, kí o sì sọ fún Joṣua pẹ̀lú; nítorí èmi yóò pa ìrántí Amaleki run pátápátá kúrò lábẹ́ ọ̀run.”
15 And Moses built an altar. And he called its name, ‘The Lord, my Exaltation.’ For he said:
Mose sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan, ó sì sọ orúkọ pẹpẹ náà ní Olúwa ni Àsíá mi.
16 “The hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord, will be against Amalek from generation to generation.”
Ó wí pé, “A gbé ọwọ́ sókè sí ìtẹ́ Olúwa. Olúwa yóò bá Amaleki jagun láti ìran dé ìran.”
