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;
Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati, yo kite dezè Sin lan, dapre lòd Seyè a te ba yo. Yo fè wout la moso pa moso, jouk yo rive Refidim kote yo moute tant yo. Men, pa t' gen dlo la pou pèp la te bwè.
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?”
Yo leve fè kont ak Moyiz. Yo di l': -Ban nou dlo pou nou bwè! Moyiz reponn yo: -Poukisa n'ap chache m' kont konsa? Pouki n'ap sonde Seyè a konsa?
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?”
Men, pèp la te swaf dlo anpil, yo t'ap bougonnen sou do Moyiz. Yo di l': -Poukisa ou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la? Gen lè se pou te fè nou vin mouri swaf dlo isit la, avèk pitit nou yo ansanm ak tout bèt nou yo?
4 And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “What do I do to this people? Yet a little, and they have stoned me.”
Moyiz menm lapriyè nan pye Bondye. Li di l' konsa: -Kisa pou m' fè ak moun sa yo? Yo san lè touye m' ak kout ròch!
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.
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Pran kèk chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la avèk ou, pase devan pèp la. Kenbe baton ou te sèvi pou frape gwo la rivyè Nil lan nan men ou. Epi mache.
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,
Mwen menm, m'ap kanpe laba a, dwat devan ou, sou tèt gwo ròch Orèb la. W'a frape ròch la, dlo va soti ladan l'. Pèp la va bwè. Se sa menm Moyiz te fè devan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
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?”
Yo rele kote sa a Masa ak Meriba, paske pèp Izrayèl la t'ap chache kont, yo t'ap sonde Seyè a lè yo te mande: Eske Seyè a nan mitan nou, wi ou non?
8 And Amalek comes, and fights with Israel in Rephidim,
Antan pèp Izrayèl la Refidim, moun Amalèk yo vin pou goumen ak yo.
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.”
Moyiz di Jozye konsa: -Chwazi kèk gason pou nou. Denmen w'a soti al goumen ak moun Amalèk yo. Mwen menm, m'a moute sou tèt ti mòn lan avèk baton Bondye te ban mwen an nan men mwen.
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;
Jozye fè tou sa Moyiz te di l' fè. Li soti al goumen ak moun Amalèk yo. Moyiz menm moute sou tèt ti mòn lan ansanm ak Arawon ak Our.
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.
Tout tan Moyiz te kenbe men l' yo leve anlè, se moun Izrayèl yo ki te pi fò. Men, kou Moyiz bese men l', se moun Amalèk yo ki te pi fò.
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;
Rive yon lè Moyiz te bouke, de bra l' t'ap fè l' mal. Arawon ak Our pran yon ròch, yo mete l' deyè Moyiz, yo fè Moyiz chita sou li. Yo chak pran yon bra Moyiz, yo kenbe yo anlè. Yo kenbe yo konsa jouk solèy kouche.
13 and Joshua weakens Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword.
Jozye menm te bat Amalèk ak moun li yo byen bat, li touye yo anba kout nepe.
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”;
Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ekri sa nan liv rejis la pou moun yo pa janm bliye batay sa a. W'a di Jozye konsa m'ap efase non Amalèk sou latè pou yo pa janm chonje l' ankò.
15 and Moses builds an altar, and calls its name YHWH-Nissi,
Moyiz bati yon lòtèl, li rele l': Seyè a se drapo m'.
16 and says, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war [is] to YHWH with Amalek from generation [to] generation.”
Apre sa li di: -Men mwen leve men m' devan fotèy Seyè a, Seyè a p'ap janm sispann goumen ak moun Amalèk yo.
