< Exodus 17 >
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeyings, by the order of the Lord; and they encamped 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 And the people quarrelled with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink; and Moses said unto them, Why will ye quarrel with me? why will ye tempt the Lord?
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, For what purpose is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill me and my children and my 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 the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? but little is wanting and they will 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 the Lord said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel; and thy staff, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy 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 be standing before thee there upon the rock at Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come out from it water, and the people shall drink; and Moses did so before the eyes 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 quarrelling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is then the Lord 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 for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my 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 And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Chur 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, that 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 when the hands of Moses became heavy, they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Chur supported his hands, one on 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 the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
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 its name Adonay Nissy [[The Lord is my Banner]].
Moses el etoak loang se ac sang ine, “LEUM GOD El Flag Luk.”
16 And he said, Because the Lord hath sworn on his throne, that the Lord 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!”
