Exodus 17
1 Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
Oganda jo-Israel duto nochako wuoth kawuok e thim mar Sin, ka giwuotho ka gi kacha mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochikogi. Ne gibworo Refidim, to ne onge pi mane ji nyalo modho.
2 And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you tempt the Lord?
Kuom mano negidhawo gi Musa kagiwacho niya, “Miwa pi wamodhi.” To Musa nodwokogi niya “En angʼo momiyo udhawo koda? En angʼo momiyo uketo Jehova Nyasaye e tem?”
3 So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst?
To kata kamano ji ne riyo mar pi oloyo kanyo, kendo ji nongʼur ni Musa. Negiwachone niya, “En angʼo momiyo nigolowa Misri mondo nyithindwa kaachiel gi jambwa otho?”
4 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me.
Eka Musa noywak ni Jehova Nyasaye niya, “En angʼo mowinjore atim kod jogi? Gichiegni kata mana goya gi kite.”
5 And the Lord said to Moses: God before the people, and take with thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith thou didst strike the river, and go.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wuothi idhi e nyim oganda. Kaw jodong jo-Israel moko mondo odhi kodi kendo kaw luth mane ichwadogo aora Nael mondo idhigo.
6 Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb: and thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel:
Abiro chungʼ e nyimi e bath lwanda mantie Horeb. Chwad lwanda to pi nowuog kuome mi oganda nomodhi.” Kuom Mano Musa notimo kamano e nyim jodong jo-Israel duto.
7 And he called the name of that place Temptation, because the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not?
Eka nochako kanyo ni Masa kod Meriba nikech jo-Israel nogwandore kanyo to bende nikech ne gitemo Jehova Nyasaye kagiwacho niya, “Bende Jehova Nyasaye ni e dierwa koso?”
8 And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
Jo-Amalek nobiro momonjo jo-Israel Refidim.
9 And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men: and go out and fight against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill having the rod of God in my hand.
Eka Musa nonyiso Joshua niya, “Yier jomoko kuom jowa mondo idhi iked gi jo-Amalek. Kiny anachungʼ ewi got gi ludh Nyasaye e lweta.”
10 Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur went up upon the top of the hill.
Kuom mano Joshua nokedo gi jo-Amalek mana kaka Musa nochiko, kendo Musa gi Harun kod Hur nodhi ewi got.
11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.
E kinde duto mane Musa osiko kotingʼo bedene malo, to jo-Israel ne loyo, to kane Musa odwoko bedene piny, to jo-Amalek ema ne loyo.
12 And Moses’ hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass that his hands were not weary until sunset.
Ka bede Musa nojony, to negikawo kidi mi giketone mondo obedie. Harun gi Hur ne ojuko bedene kotingʼo malo, ka ngʼato achiel omako bade konchiel, to machielo omako komachielo, omiyo bedene nosiko kochungʼ tir nyaka podho chiengʼ.
13 And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.
Kuom mano Joshua noloyo jolwenj jo-Amalek mana gi ligangla.
14 And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Josue: for I will destroy the memory of Amalec from under heaven.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ndik wachni e kitap ndiko kaka gima ibiro par bende nyaka ine ni Joshua owinje, nimar abiro tieko jo-Amalek duto e piny ka.”
15 And Moses built an altar: and called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying:
Musa nogero kendo mar misango mochake ni “Jehova Nyasaye en banderana.”
16 Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
Nowacho kama, “Nimar bede notingʼ malo e nyim kom duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye. Kendo Jehova Nyasaye noked gi jo-Amalek e tienge duto.”
