Exodus 17
1 And all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wildernesse of Sin, by their iourneyes at the commandement of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drinke.
Awo ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne kisitula okuva mu ddungu lya Sini, ne batambula ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama bwe kyali. Ne bakuba eweema zaabwe mu Lefidimu, naye nga tewaliiwo mazzi bantu ge banaanywa.
2 Wherefore the people contended with Moses, and sayde, Giue vs water that we may drinke. And Moses sayde vnto them, Why contende yee with me? wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?
Abantu ne bayombesa Musa nga bagamba nti, “Tuwe amazzi tunywe.” Musa n’abaddamu nti, “Lwaki munnyombesa? Lwaki mugezesa Mukama?”
3 So the people thirsted there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou thus brought vs out of Egypt to kill vs and our children and our cattel with thirst?
Naye abantu ennyonta y’amazzi n’ebaluma, ne beemulugunyiza Musa. Ne bagamba nti, “Lwaki watuggya mu Misiri, ennyonta okututtira wano, ffe n’abaana baffe n’ebisibo byaffe?”
4 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? for they be almost ready to stone me.
Musa n’akaabira Mukama nti, “Abantu bano mbakole ntya? Baabano baagala kunkuba mayinja.”
5 And ye Lord answered to Moses, Goe before the people, and take with thee of the Elders of Israel: and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the riuer, take in thine hand, and go:
Mukama n’addamu Musa nti, “Abantu abo bakulembere, otwale ne ku bakulembeze ba Isirayiri; n’omuggo gwo gwe wakubisa ku mugga genda nagwo ng’ogukutte mu mukono gwo, mutambule.
6 Behold, I will stand there before thee vpon the rocke in Horeb, and thou shalt smite on the rocke, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drinke. And Moses did so in the sight of the Elders of Israel.
Nange nzija kukwesooka mu maaso nyimirire ku lwazi e Kolebu, onookuba olwazi ne muvaamu amazzi abantu banywe.” Musa n’akola bw’atyo nga n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri balaba.
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 the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among vs, or no?
Ekifo ekyo n’akituuma erinnya Masa ne Meriba, olw’okuyomba kw’abaana ba Isirayiri, n’olw’okugezesa Mukama nga bagamba nti, “Mukama waali mu ffe oba taliiwo?”
8 Then came Amalek and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Awo Abamaleki ne bajja balwane ne Isirayiri mu Lefidimu.
9 And Moses sayde to Ioshua, Chuse vs out men, and go fight with Amalek: to morowe I will stande on the toppe of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
Musa n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Tuyunguliremu abasajja bagende balwanyise Abamaleki. Enkya nzija kuyimirira ku ntikko y’olusozi nga nkutte omuggo gwa Katonda mu mukono gwange.”
10 So Ioshua did as Moses bad him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went vp to the top of the hill.
Yoswa n’akola nga Musa bwe yamulagira, n’alwana n’Abamaleki. Musa ne Alooni ne Kuli ne bambuka ku ntikko y’olusozi.
11 And when Moses helde vp his hande, Israel preuailed: but when he let his hande downe, Amalek preuailed.
Musa bwe yawanikanga emikono gye, Abayisirayiri nga bagoba, naye bwe yagissanga, nga Abamaleki bagoba.
12 Nowe Moses handes were heauy: therefore they tooke a stone and put it vnder him, and hee sate vpon it: and Aaron and Hur stayed vp his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side: so his hands were steady vntill the going downe of the sunne.
Emikono gya Musa ne gitandika okumufuuyirira. Alooni ne Kuli ne bamuleetera ejjinja, n’atuula okwo; ne bawanirira emikono gye, omu ng’ali ku ludda olumu, ne munne ku ludda olulala, emikono gye olwo ne ginywerera waggulu okutuusa enjuba lwe yagwa.
13 And Ioshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Yoswa n’awangula Abamaleki ng’akozesa obwogi bw’ekitala.
14 And the Lord sayde to Moses, Write this for a remembrance in the booke, and rehearse it to Ioshua: for I will vtterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from vnder heauen.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Kino kiwandiike mu kitabo kiryoke kijjukirwenga ennaku zonna, era Yoswa asaana akimanye, kubanga Abamaleki ŋŋenda kubasangulirawo ddala ku nsi.”
15 (And Moses builte an altar and called the name of it, Iehouah-nissi)
Musa n’azimbawo ekyoto n’akituuma erinnya Mukama ye Bendera Yange.
16 Also he said, The Lord hath sworne, that he will haue warre with Amalek from generation to generation.
N’agamba nti, “Kubanga Abamaleki baalwanyisa entebe ya Mukama ey’obwakabaka, Mukama alayidde okubalwanyisa emirembe gyonna.”
