Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel journey from the wilderness of Sin, on their journeys, by the command of YHWH, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is no water for the people to drink;
Isarel rangpuinaw ni BAWIPA e kâ patetlah Sin kahrawng dawk hoi a tâco awh teh kahlawng bout a cei awh nah Rephidim vah rim a tuk awh. Hote hmuen koe taminaw nei hanelah tui awm hoeh.
2 and the people strive with Moses, and say, “Give us water, and we drink.” And Moses says to them, “Why do you strive with me? Why do you try YHWH?”
Hatdawkvah, taminaw ni Mosi koe nei hane tui na poe telah a titeh Mosi a yue awh. Mosi ni bangkongmaw kai koe thoenae na tawng awh. BAWIPA hah bangkongmaw na tanouk awh vaw telah atipouh.
3 And the people thirst for water there, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, “Why [is] this [that] you have brought us up out of Egypt to put us to death, also our sons and our livestock, with thirst?”
Taminaw tui a kahran dawkvah, Mosi yon a pen awh teh a phuenang awh. Kamamouh khue hoi ka canaw, saringnaw pueng tui kahran sak hanelah, Izip ram hoi bangkongmaw na hrawi telah atipouh awh.
4 And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “What do I do to this people? Yet a little, and they have stoned me.”
Hat navah, Mosi ni BAWIPA hah a kaw teh, hete taminaw heh kai ni bangtelamaw ka ti han. Talung hoi kai dêi hanelah meimei coungkacoe ao awh toe telah atipouh.
5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Pass over before the people, and take with you from [the] elderly of Israel, and take your rod in your hand, with which you have struck the River, and you have gone.
BAWIPA ni hai taminaw e hmalah cet nateh, Isarel tami kacuenaw hah kaw. Tuipui na hemnae sonron hah sin nateh Horeb mon lah cet.
6 Behold, I am standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you have struck on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.” And Moses does so before the eyes of [the] elderly of Israel,
Hote hmuen koe kaawm e lungsong van vah kai ka kangdue han. Nang ni hote lungsong hah na hem han. Taminaw ni a nei hane tui hote lungsong dawk hoi a tâco han telah Mosi koe atipouh. Mosi ni Isarel kacuenaw e hmalah hottelah a sak.
7 and he calls the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the strife of the sons of Israel, and because of their trying YHWH, saying, “Is YHWH in our midst or not?”
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA teh kaimouh koe ao hoi ao hoeh e a tanouk awh dawkvah, hote hmuen teh Massah hoi Meribah telah ati awh.
8 And Amalek comes, and fights with Israel in Rephidim,
Hat navah, Amaleknaw ni a tho awh teh Isarelnaw Refidim vah a tuk awh.
9 and Moses says to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.”
Mosi ni taminaw hah a rawi teh Amaleknaw tuk hanelah cet awh. Tangtho vah, Cathut e sonron ka sin vaiteh, mon vah ka kangdue han telah Joshua koe atipouh.
10 And Joshua does as Moses has said to him, to fight with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur have gone up [to] the top of the height;
Mosi ni a dei pouh e patetlah Joshua ni a sak teh Amaleknaw hah a tuk. Mosi, Aron hoi Hur tinaw mon vah a luen awh.
11 and it has come to pass, when Moses lifts up his hand, that Israel has been mighty, and when he lets his hands rest, that Amalek has been mighty.
Mosi ni a kut a dâw nah, Isarelnaw ni a tâ awh. A kut a pabo nah, Amaleknaw ni a tâ awh.
12 And the hands of Moses [are] heavy, and they take a stone and set [it] under him, and he sits on it, and Aaron and Hur have taken hold on his hands, one on this [side] and one on that [side]; and his hands are steadfast until the going in of the sun;
Hatei, Mosi e kut tha a tawn dawkvah, ahnimouh ni talung a la awh teh, Mosi talung van a tahung sak hnukkhu, Aron hoi Hur ni avoivang lahoi a kut a tawm pouh roi. Hatdawkvah, Kanîloum totouh a kut teh ama paroup lah ao.
13 and Joshua weakens Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword.
Joshua ni hai Amalek bawinaw hoi a taminaw hah tahloi hoi a thei.
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “Write this, a memorial in a Scroll, and set [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens”;
BAWIPA ni hai hete hno dawk pahnim hoeh nahanlah ca thut nateh touk telah Joshua koe atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan rahim vah Amalek pahnimhoehnae hah kai ni ka takhoe han telah Mosi koe atipouh.
15 and Moses builds an altar, and calls its name YHWH-Nissi,
Mosi ni khoungroe a sak teh BAWIPA teh ka tânae (Jehovah-nissi) doeh telah ati.
16 and says, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war [is] to YHWH with Amalek from generation [to] generation.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Amaleknaw e kut ni BAWIPA e khoungroe e taran lah ao dawkvah, BAWIPA ni Amaleknaw teh a yungyoe hoi taran lah a tuk han telah ati.
