Exodus 17
1 Then all the Israelites left the Desert of Sin, going from place to place as they followed the Lord's commands. They camped at Rephidim, but there wasn't any water for the people to drink.
Waldaan ijoollee Israaʼel hundi akkuma Waaqayyo ajajetti Gammoojjii Siiniitii kaʼanii iddoo tokko irraa gara iddoo biraatti darbaa dhaqanii Refiidiim qubatan. Garuu sabni sun bishaan dhugaatii hin arganne.
2 Some of them came and complained to Moses, saying, “Give us water to drink!” Moses replied, “Why are you complaining to me?” Moses asked. “Why are you trying to challenge the Lord?”
Kanaafuu isaan, “Bishaan dhugnu nuu kenni” jedhanii Musee lolan. Museen immoo deebisee, “Isin maaliif na loltu? Waaqayyos maaliif qortu?” jedheen.
3 But the people were so thirsty for water there that they went on complaining to Moses, saying, “Why did you have to bring us out of Egypt? Are you trying to kill us and our children and livestock by thirst?”
Jarris bishaan dheebotanii Museetti guunguman; akkanas jedhan; “Ati maaliif akka nu, ijoolleen keenyaa fi horiin keenya dheebuun dhumnuuf biyya Gibxiitii nu baafte?”
4 Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I going to do with these people? A bit more of this and they're going to stone me!”
Kana irratti Museen gara Waaqayyootti iyyee, “Ani saba kana maal godha? Isaan dhagaan na tumuuf xinnumatu hafe” jedhe.
5 The Lord told Moses, “Go ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take with you the walking stick you used to hit the Nile, and just go on ahead.
Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedhee Museef deebii kenne; “Saba kana dura darbii deemi. Maanguddoota Israaʼel keessaa tokko tokko of faana fudhadhuutii ulee ittiin laga Abbayyaa dhoofte sana harkatti qabadhuu deemi.
6 Look, I will stand there beside you by the rock at Horeb. When you hit the rock water will pour out for the people to drink.” So Moses did this as the elders of Israel watched.
Kunoo ani kattaa Kooreeb sana bira fuula kee dura achi nan dhaabadha; akka namoonni bishaan dhuganiif ati kattaa sana dhaʼi; bishaanis isa keessaa ni baʼa.” Kanaafuu Museen fuula maanguddoota Israaʼel duratti akkasuma godhe.
7 He called the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites argued there, and because they challenged the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord with us, or not?”
Sababii Israaʼeloonni lola kaasanii fi sababii isaan, “Waaqayyo nu wajjin jira moo hin jiru?” jechuudhaan Waaqayyoon qoraniif Museen iddoo sana Maasaahii fi Mariibaa jedhee moggaase.
8 Then some Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
Amaaleqoonni dhufanii Refiidiimitti Israaʼeloota lolan.
9 Moses told Joshua, “Choose some of men and go out and fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I'll stand on the top of this hill holding the walking stick of God.”
Museenis Iyyaasuudhaan, “Namoota keenya keessaa muraasa filadhuutii dhaqii Amaaleqoota loli. Ani bor ulee Waaqaa harka kootti qabadhee fiixee gaara irra nan dhaabadha” jedhe.
10 Joshua did what Moses told him and fought the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of the hill.
Yeroo Museen, Aroonii fi Huuri fiixee gaaratti ol baʼanitti, Iyyaasuun akkuma Museen ajajetti Amaaleqoota lola ture.
11 As long as Moses held up the walking stick his hands, the Israelites were the ones winning, but when he lowered them, it was the Amalekites.
Yeroo Museen harka isaa ol qabatutti Israaʼeloonni ni moʼatu turan; yeroo inni harka isaa gad buufatu immoo Amaaleqoonni ni moʼatu turan.
12 So when Moses' hands became heavy, the others took a stone and put it under him for him to sit on. Aaron and Hur stood on each side of Moses and held his hands up. In this way his hands were kept firmly up until the sun went down.
Isaanis yeroo harki Musee dadhabaa deemetti dhagaa tokko fuudhanii isa jala kaaʼan; innis irra taaʼe. Aroonii fi Huuri inni tokko garanaan inni kaan immoo garasiin goranii akka harki isaa hamma aduun dhiitutti gad hin deebineef ol qabaniif.
13 As a result Joshua defeated the Amalekite army.
Akkasiin Iyyaasuun loltoota Amaaleqootaa goraadeedhaan moʼate.
14 The Lord told Moses, “Write all this down on a scroll as a reminder and read it out loud to Joshua, because I'm going to completely wipe out the Amalekites so nobody on earth will remember them.”
Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka wanni kun yaadatamuuf kitaabatti barreessi; Iyyaasuun waan kana dhagaʼuu isaa mirkaneessi; ani guutumaan guutuutti yaadannoo Amaaleqootaa samii jalaa nan balleessaatii.”
15 Moses built an altar and called it “the Lord is my banner of victory.”
Museenis iddoo aarsaa ijaaree, “Waaqayyo Faajjii koo ti” jedhee moggaase.
16 “Hold up the victory banner of the Lord!” Moses declared. “The Lord will go on fighting the Amalekites for all generations!”
Innis, “Harki gara teessoo Waaqayyootti ol kaafameera. Waaqayyos dhaloota tokkoo gara dhaloota kaaniitti Amaaleqoota ni lola” jedhe.
