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.
Na ka haere te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira i te koraha o Hini i o ratou haerenga, i pera tonu me ta Ihowa i ako ai, a noho rawa atu ki Repirimi: otiia kahore he wai hei inu ma te iwi.
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?"
Na ka ngangau te iwi ki a Mohi, ka mea, Homai ra he wai mo matou, kia inu ai matou. A ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, He aha koutou i ngangau ai ki ahau? he aha koutou i whakamatautau ai i a Ihowa?
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?"
Na ka mate te iwi i te wai i reira; a amuamu ana te iwi ki a Mohi, a ka mea, He aha matou i kawea mai ai e koe i Ihipa kia kohurutia ai matou, me a matou tamariki, me a matou kararehe ki te matewai?
4 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."
Na ka karanga a Mohi ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Me pehea ahau ki te iwi nei? whano ratou aki i ahau ki te kohatu.
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.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere i mua i te iwi, ka tango hoki i etahi o nga kaumatua o Iharaira hei hoa mou; ko tau tokotoko hoki i patua e koe ki te awa, me mau atu i tou ringa, ka haere.
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.
Nana, tena ahau te tu atu na i tou aroaro i reira, i runga i te kamaka i Horepa, a mau e patu te kamaka, a ka puta he wai i reira, hei inu ma te iwi. A peratia ana e Mohi i te tirohanga a nga kaumatua o Iharaira.
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?"
A huaina ana e ia te ingoa o taua wahi ko Maha, ko Meripa; mo te ngangautanga a nga tama a Iharaira, mo ta ratou whakamatau hoki i a Ihowa, i a ratou i mea ra, Kei roto ranei a Ihowa i a tatou, kahore ranei?
8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Na ka haere mai a Amareke, kei te whawhai ki a Iharaira ki Repirimi.
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."
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Hohua, Whiriwhiria mai etahi tangata ma taua, ka haere ki te whawhai ki a Amareke: ka tu ahau apopo ki runga i te tihi o te pukepuke, me te rakau ano hoki a te Atua ki toku ringa.
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.
Na peratia ana e Hohua me ta Mohi i korero ai ki a ia; ko te tino whawhaitanga ki a Amareke: ko Mohi ia, ratou ko Arona, ko Huru, i piki ki te tihi o te pukepuke.
11 It happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
A ka maiangi ake te ringa o Mohi, na, ka kaha a Iharaira; a ka tukua iho tona ringa, na, ka kaha a Amareke.
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.
Otiia ka taimaha nga ringa o Mohi; a ka mau raua ki tetahi kohatu, a whakatakotoria ana ki raro i a ia, a noho ana ia i runga; a puritia ake ana ona ringa e Arona raua ko Huru, kotahi i tetahi taha, kotahi i tetahi taha: katahi ka tuturu tonu on a ringa, a to noa te ra.
13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Na patua ana a Amareke, ratou ko tona iwi, e Hohua ki te mata o te hoari.
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."
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tuhituhia tenei ki te pukapuka, hei whakamaharatanga; korerotia hoki ki nga taringa o Hohua: ka tino horoia atu hoki e ahau te maharatanga o Amareke i raro i te rangi.
15 Moses built an altar, and called its name the LORD our Banner.
A hanga ana e Mohi he aata, a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Ihowanihi.
16 He said, "A hand upon the throne of the LORD. The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'"
I mea hoki ia, Kua ara nei te ringa ki te torona o Ihowa, na he pakanga ta Ihowa ki a Amareke i tenei whakapaparanga, i tenei whakapaparanga.
