Exodus 17
1 All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the LORD's commandment, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
Te phoeiah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih tah BOEIPA olka bangla a longpueng kah Sin khosoek lamloh hlah uh tih Rephidim ah rhaeh uh. Te vaengah pilnam kah a ok ham tui om pawh.
2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"
Te dongah pilnam te Moses neh toh uh thae tih, “Kaimih he tui m'pae lamtah ka o pawn eh,” a ti uh. Te vaengah amih te Moses loh, “Balae tih kai te nan toe uh? Balae tih BOEIPA na noemcai? a ti nah.
3 The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?"
Tedae pilnam tah tui hal oeh. Te dongah pilnam te Moses taengah nul uh tih, “Balae tih Egypt lamloh kaimih nang khuen. Kamah neh ka ca rhoek neh ka tuihalh neh duek sak ham maco,” a ti nah.
4 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."
Te vaengah Moses te BOEIPA taengah pang tih, “Pilnam ham he balae ka saii eh? Bet ca koinih kai n'dae uh hloe,” a ti nah.
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the staff in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam hmai ah lamhma lamtah Israel kah a ham rhoek te namah neh puei uh. Sokko na boh nah na conghol te na kut dongah pom lamtah cet.
6 Look, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Kamah he na mikhmuh kah Horeb lungpang soah ka pai ne. Lungpang te taam lamtah te lamloh tui ha phuet vaengah pilnam loh o saeh,” a ti nah. Te te Moses loh Israel a ham rhoek mikhmuh ah a saii pah.
7 He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us, or not?"
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek kah tuituknah neh BOEIPA te a noemcai uh tih, “BOEIPA he mamih lakli ah om nim, om pawt nim?” a ti uh dongah a hmuen ming te Massah neh Meribah a sui.
8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Tedae Rephidim ah tah Amalek ha pawk tih Israel a vathoh thil.
9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God's staff in my hand."
Te dongah Moses loh Joshua taengah, “Mamih ham hlang coelh laeh, khuen lamtah Amalek te tloek laeh. Thangvuen ah kai he som lu ah ka pai ni, ka kut ah Pathen kah conghol om ngawn,” a ti nah.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Amalek te vathoh thil ham Moses loh amah a ti nah bangla Joshua loha saii tangloeng. Moses, Aaron neh Hur tahtlangsom lu la luei uh.
11 It happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Moses loh a kut a thoh rhuet vaengah tah Israel loh a na dae a kut a hlak rhuet vaengah tah Amalek a na.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.
Tedae Moses kut a kha vaengah tah lungto a loh uh tih a dangah a phaih pauh. Te phoeiah a soah ngol tih a kut te Aaron neh Hur loh khatben ah pakhat, khatben ah pakhat loh a moem pah. Te daengah a kut rhoi te khomik a tlak hil khuek om.
13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Te dongah Joshua loh Amalek neh a pilnam te cunghang ha neh a rhaa.
14 The LORD said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial on a scroll, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky."
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Poekkoepnah he cabu dongah daek lamtah Joshua hna ah dueh pah. Amalek poekkoepnah te vaan hmui lamloh ka khoe rhoe ka khoe ni,” a ti nah.
15 Moses built an altar, and called its name the LORD our Banner.
Te dongah Moses loh hmueihtuk a suem tih a ming te BOEIPA tah ka rholik la a khue.
16 He said, "A hand upon the throne of the LORD. The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'"
Te vaengah, “Caemtloek BOEIPA kah ngolkhoel dongah kut ka phuel dongah BOEIPA loh Amalek te cadilcahma lamloh cadilcahma duela vathoh thil saeh,” a ti.
