Exodus 17
1 And all the assembly of the sons of Israel set forward out of the desert of Sin, by their removings, at the bidding of Yahweh, —and encamped in Rephidim, and 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 And the people found fault with Moses, and said—Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why should ye find fault with me? Why should ye put Yahweh to the proof?
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 So the people thirsted, there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, —and said—Wherefore is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill me and my sons and my cattle, 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 And Moses made outcry unto Yahweh saying, What am I to do, with this people? Yet a little, and they will 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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Pass over before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel, —thy staff also wherewith thou didst smite the river, take thou in thy hand, so shalt thou go thy way.
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 Behold me! standing before thee, there upon the rock in Horeb, then shalt thou smite the rock and there shall come forth therefrom water, and the people shall drink. And 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 So he called the name of the place, Massah, and Meribah, —because of the fault-finding of the sons of Israel, and because of their putting Yahweh to the proof, saying, Is Yahweh in our midst or is he 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 came in Amalek, —and fought with Israel, in Rephidim.
Na ka haere mai a Amareke, kei te whawhai ki a Iharaira ki Repirimi.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua—Choose for us men, and go forth, fight with Amalek, —to-morrow, am, I, stationing myself upon the top of the hill, with the staff of God 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 said to him, to fight 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 And it shall be when Moses shall lift on high his hands, then shall Israel prevail, but when he shall let down his hands, then shall Amalek prevail.
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, the hands of Moses, were weary, so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat thereupon, —and, Aaron and Hur, upheld his hands—on this side, one and on that side, one, and so his hands became steady, until the going in of the sun.
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 So Joshua overthrew 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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Write this as a remembrancer in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua—that I will, wipe out, the remembrance of Amalek, from under the heavens.
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 And Moses built an altar, —and called the name thereof, Yahweh-nissi.
A hanga ana e Mohi he aata, a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Ihowanihi.
16 And he said—Because of a hand against the throne of Yah, Yahweh hath 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.
