< 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;
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 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?”
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 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?”
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 cries to YHWH, saying, “What do I do to this people? Yet a little, and they have stoned 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 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.
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 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,
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 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?”
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 And Amalek comes, and fights with Israel in Rephidim,
Mwet Amalek tuku ac mweun nu sin mwet Israel in acn Rephidim.
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.”
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 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;
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 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.
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 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;
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 weakens Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword.
Ouinge Joshua el arulana kutangla mwet Amalek.
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”;
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 builds an altar, and calls its name YHWH-Nissi,
Moses el etoak loang se ac sang ine, “LEUM GOD El Flag Luk.”
16 and says, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war [is] to YHWH 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!”
