< 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.
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 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?
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 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?
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 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little 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: 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.
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 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:
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 the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst 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 Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
Àwọn ara Amaleki jáde, wọ́n sì dìde ogun sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ni Refidimu.
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.
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 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.
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 overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec 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 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.
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 Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.
Joṣua sì fi ojú idà ṣẹ́gun àwọn ará Amaleki.
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.
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 called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying:
Mose sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan, ó sì sọ orúkọ pẹpẹ náà ní Olúwa ni Àsíá mi.
16 Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
Ó wí pé, “A gbé ọwọ́ sókè sí ìtẹ́ Olúwa. Olúwa yóò bá Amaleki jagun láti ìran dé ìran.”
