Exodus 17
1 And they set out all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel from [the] wilderness of Sin to journeyings their on [the] mouth of Yahweh and they encamped at Rephidim and there not [was] water to drink the people.
Awo ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne kisitula okuva mu ddungu lya Sini, ne batambula ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama bwe kyali. Ne bakuba eweema zaabwe mu Lefidimu, naye nga tewaliiwo mazzi bantu ge banaanywa.
2 And it quarreled the people with Moses and they said give to us water so we may drink and he said to them Moses why? are you quarreling! with me why? are you putting to [the] test! Yahweh.
Abantu ne bayombesa Musa nga bagamba nti, “Tuwe amazzi tunywe.” Musa n’abaddamu nti, “Lwaki munnyombesa? Lwaki mugezesa Mukama?”
3 And it was thirsty there the people for water and it grumbled the people on Moses and it said why? this did you bring up us from Egypt to put to death me and children my and livestock my by thirst.
Naye abantu ennyonta y’amazzi n’ebaluma, ne beemulugunyiza Musa. Ne bagamba nti, “Lwaki watuggya mu Misiri, ennyonta okututtira wano, ffe n’abaana baffe n’ebisibo byaffe?”
4 And he cried out Moses to Yahweh saying what? will I do to the people this yet a little and they will stone me.
Musa n’akaabira Mukama nti, “Abantu bano mbakole ntya? Baabano baagala kunkuba mayinja.”
5 And he said Yahweh to Moses pass on before the people and take with you some of [the] elders of Israel and staff your which you struck with it the River take in hand your and you will go.
Mukama n’addamu Musa nti, “Abantu abo bakulembere, otwale ne ku bakulembeze ba Isirayiri; n’omuggo gwo gwe wakubisa ku mugga genda nagwo ng’ogukutte mu mukono gwo, mutambule.
6 Here I [will be] standing before you there - on the rock at Horeb and you will strike the rock and they will come out from it waters and it will drink the people and he did so Moses to [the] eyes of [the] elders of Israel.
Nange nzija kukwesooka mu maaso nyimirire ku lwazi e Kolebu, onookuba olwazi ne muvaamu amazzi abantu banywe.” Musa n’akola bw’atyo nga n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri balaba.
7 And he called [the] name of the place Massah and Meribah on [the] quarrel of - [the] people of Israel and because put to [the] test they Yahweh saying ¿ [is] there Yahweh in midst our or? not.
Ekifo ekyo n’akituuma erinnya Masa ne Meriba, olw’okuyomba kw’abaana ba Isirayiri, n’olw’okugezesa Mukama nga bagamba nti, “Mukama waali mu ffe oba taliiwo?”
8 And it came Amalek and it joined battle with Israel at Rephidim.
Awo Abamaleki ne bajja balwane ne Isirayiri mu Lefidimu.
9 And he said Moses to Joshua choose for us men and go out fight against Amalek tomorrow I [will be] standing on [the] top of the hill and [the] staff of God [will be] in hand my.
Musa n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Tuyunguliremu abasajja bagende balwanyise Abamaleki. Enkya nzija kuyimirira ku ntikko y’olusozi nga nkutte omuggo gwa Katonda mu mukono gwange.”
10 And he did Joshua just as he had said to him Moses by fighting against Amalek and Moses Aaron and Hur they went up [the] top of the hill.
Yoswa n’akola nga Musa bwe yamulagira, n’alwana n’Abamaleki. Musa ne Alooni ne Kuli ne bambuka ku ntikko y’olusozi.
11 And it was just when he lifted up Moses hand his and it prevailed Israel and just when he gave rest hand his and it prevailed Amalek.
Musa bwe yawanikanga emikono gye, Abayisirayiri nga bagoba, naye bwe yagissanga, nga Abamaleki bagoba.
12 And [the] hands of Moses [were] heavy and they took a stone and they put [it] under him and he sat on it and Aaron and Hur they supported hands his from this one and from this one and it was hands his [were] steadiness until went the sun.
Emikono gya Musa ne gitandika okumufuuyirira. Alooni ne Kuli ne bamuleetera ejjinja, n’atuula okwo; ne bawanirira emikono gye, omu ng’ali ku ludda olumu, ne munne ku ludda olulala, emikono gye olwo ne ginywerera waggulu okutuusa enjuba lwe yagwa.
13 And he defeated Joshua Amalek and people its to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
Yoswa n’awangula Abamaleki ng’akozesa obwogi bw’ekitala.
14 And he said Yahweh to Moses write this reminder in the book and put [it] in [the] ears of Joshua for certainly I will wipe out [the] remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Kino kiwandiike mu kitabo kiryoke kijjukirwenga ennaku zonna, era Yoswa asaana akimanye, kubanga Abamaleki ŋŋenda kubasangulirawo ddala ku nsi.”
15 And he built Moses an altar and he called name its Yahweh - [is] standard my.
Musa n’azimbawo ekyoto n’akituuma erinnya Mukama ye Bendera Yange.
16 And he said that a hand on [the] throne of Yahweh war [will belong] to Yahweh with Amalek from generation generation.
N’agamba nti, “Kubanga Abamaleki baalwanyisa entebe ya Mukama ey’obwakabaka, Mukama alayidde okubalwanyisa emirembe gyonna.”
