Exodus 17
1 And all the assembly of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their journeys, at the command of Jehovah; and they encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.
Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati, yo kite dezè Sin lan, dapre lòd Seyè a te ba yo. Yo fè wout la moso pa moso, jouk yo rive Refidim kote yo moute tant yo. Men, pa t' gen dlo la pou pèp la te bwè.
2 And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water, that we may drink! And Moses said to them, Why do ye dispute with me? Why do ye tempt Jehovah?
Yo leve fè kont ak Moyiz. Yo di l': -Ban nou dlo pou nou bwè! Moyiz reponn yo: -Poukisa n'ap chache m' kont konsa? Pouki n'ap sonde Seyè a konsa?
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Men, pèp la te swaf dlo anpil, yo t'ap bougonnen sou do Moyiz. Yo di l': -Poukisa ou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la? Gen lè se pou te fè nou vin mouri swaf dlo isit la, avèk pitit nou yo ansanm ak tout bèt nou yo?
4 And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me!
Moyiz menm lapriyè nan pye Bondye. Li di l' konsa: -Kisa pou m' fè ak moun sa yo? Yo san lè touye m' ak kout ròch!
5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy staff with which thou didst smite the river, take in thy hand, and go.
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Pran kèk chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la avèk ou, pase devan pèp la. Kenbe baton ou te sèvi pou frape gwo la rivyè Nil lan nan men ou. Epi mache.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock on Horeb; and thou shalt strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.
Mwen menm, m'ap kanpe laba a, dwat devan ou, sou tèt gwo ròch Orèb la. W'a frape ròch la, dlo va soti ladan l'. Pèp la va bwè. Se sa menm Moyiz te fè devan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
Yo rele kote sa a Masa ak Meriba, paske pèp Izrayèl la t'ap chache kont, yo t'ap sonde Seyè a lè yo te mande: Eske Seyè a nan mitan nou, wi ou non?
8 And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Antan pèp Izrayèl la Refidim, moun Amalèk yo vin pou goumen ak yo.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.
Moyiz di Jozye konsa: -Chwazi kèk gason pou nou. Denmen w'a soti al goumen ak moun Amalèk yo. Mwen menm, m'a moute sou tèt ti mòn lan avèk baton Bondye te ban mwen an nan men mwen.
10 And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Jozye fè tou sa Moyiz te di l' fè. Li soti al goumen ak moun Amalèk yo. Moyiz menm moute sou tèt ti mòn lan ansanm ak Arawon ak Our.
11 And it came to pass when Moses raised his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Tout tan Moyiz te kenbe men l' yo leve anlè, se moun Izrayèl yo ki te pi fò. Men, kou Moyiz bese men l', se moun Amalèk yo ki te pi fò.
12 And Moses' hands were heavy; then they took a stone, and put [it] under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side, and one on that side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Rive yon lè Moyiz te bouke, de bra l' t'ap fè l' mal. Arawon ak Our pran yon ròch, yo mete l' deyè Moyiz, yo fè Moyiz chita sou li. Yo chak pran yon bra Moyiz, yo kenbe yo anlè. Yo kenbe yo konsa jouk solèy kouche.
13 And Joshua broke the power of Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Jozye menm te bat Amalèk ak moun li yo byen bat, li touye yo anba kout nepe.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ekri sa nan liv rejis la pou moun yo pa janm bliye batay sa a. W'a di Jozye konsa m'ap efase non Amalèk sou latè pou yo pa janm chonje l' ankò.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.
Moyiz bati yon lòtèl, li rele l': Seyè a se drapo m'.
16 And he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah; Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation!
Apre sa li di: -Men mwen leve men m' devan fotèy Seyè a, Seyè a p'ap janm sispann goumen ak moun Amalèk yo.
