Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of Yhwh, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel som liki yen mwesis Sin, ac mukuiyak liki sie acn nu ke sie pac acn oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu selos. Elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos Rephidim, tusruk wangin kof in nimnim we.
2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Yhwh?
Elos torkaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk, “Se kof nimasr.” Moses el topuk, “Efu kowos ku torkaskas nu sik? Efu kowos ku srike LEUM GOD?”
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
A mwet uh arulana malu ac sikalani na in torkaskas nu sel Moses. Elos fahk, “Mea, kom uskutme liki acn Egypt in tuh unikuti, ac tulik natusr ac kosro natusr, ke malu?”
4 And Moses cried unto Yhwh, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
Moses el kwafeang in pre nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Mea nga ac ku in oru nu sin mwet inge? Elos akola in tungalyu pa inge.”
5 And Yhwh said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Eis kutu sin mwet kol lun Israel wi kom, ac fahla meet liki mwet uh. Us sikal soko ma kom tuh sang sringilya Infacl Nile ah.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Ke kom fah sun sie eot pe eol Sinai, nga fah tu fac ye motom. Puokya eot sac, ac kof uh ac sororma liki, tuh mwet uh in nim kac.” Moses el oru ouinge ye mutun mwet kol lun Israel.
7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Yhwh, saying, Is Yhwh among us, or not?
Ac Moses el sang inen acn sac Massah, mweyen mwet Israel elos tuh torkaskas. Acn sac pacna el sang ine Meribah, mweyen mwet uh elos tuh srike LEUM GOD ke elos fahk, “Ya LEUM GOD El wi kut, ku tia?”
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Mwet Amalek tuku ac mweun nu sin mwet Israel in acn Rephidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
Moses el fahk nu sel Joshua, “Sulela kutu mwet in som ac mweuni mwet Amalek lutu. Nga fah tu fin inging uh ac sruokya sikal soko ma God El sap nga in us uh.”
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Joshua el oru oana Moses el sapkin nu sel, ac illa in mweun lain mwet Amalek, ke Moses, Aaron, ac Hur fanyak nu fin mangon inging uh.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Lusenna pacl Moses el kolak paol nu lucng, na mwet Israel ah ku, a ke el eisya paol nu ten, na mwet Amalek ah ku.
12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Pacl se paol Moses mutawauk in ulla, Aaron ac Hur use sie eot elan muta fac, ac eltal tu siskal lac lac, ac kolak paol kewa nu lucng. Eltal kolak paol nwe ke faht ah tili.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Ouinge Joshua el arulana kutangla mwet Amalek.
14 And Yhwh said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Simusla luman kutangla se inge tuh in ku in esamyuk. Fahk nu sel Joshua lah nga ac arulana kunausla mwet Amalek uh.”
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah–nissi, Yhwh Our Banner:
Moses el etoak loang se ac sang ine, “LEUM GOD El Flag Luk.”
16 For he said, Because Yah hath sworn that Yhwh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
El fahk, “Kolak flag lun LEUM GOD nu lucng! LEUM GOD El ac fah mweuni mwet Amalek uh nwe tok!”
