Exodus 17
1 Obeying what Yahweh commanded, all the Israeli people moved from the Sin Desert. They/We traveled from one place to another. They/We camped at [a place named] Rephidim, but there was no water there for (the people/us) to drink.
Ug ang tibook nga katilingban sa mga anak sa Israel mingpanaw gikan sa kamingawan sa Sin sa ilang mga pagpanaw, sumala sa sugo ni Jehova, ug gipahamutang nila ang ilang campo sa Repidim: ug didto walay tubig aron makainum ang katawohan.
2 So the people complained to Moses/me again, saying, “Give us water to drink!” Moses/I replied to them, “Why are you (criticizing/arguing with) me [RHQ]? And why are you trying to determine whether Yahweh [has the power to provide for you]?”
Ug nakiglantugi ang katawohan kang Moises, ug nanag-ingon sila: Hatagi kami ug tubig aron makainum kami. Ug si Moises miingon kanila: Ngano ba nga nakiglantugi man kamo kanako? Ngano ba nga gisulayan ninyo si Jehova?
3 But the people were very thirsty, and they continued to complain to Moses/me. They were saying things like “Why did you bring us out of Egypt?”, and “Did you bring us here to cause us and our children and livestock to die (from thirst/because we had no water to drink) [RHQ]?”
Ug ang katawohan giuhaw sa tubig; ug ang katawohan nagbagulbol batok kang Moises, ug miingon: Gidala mo diay kami gikan sa Egipto, aron pagpatyon sa kauhaw, kami ug ang among mga anak ug ang among kahayupan?
4 So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. He/I said, “(How shall I deal with these people?/I do not know how to deal with these people!) [RHQ] They are almost ready to [kill me by throwing] stones at me!”
Unya mitu-aw si Moises kang Jehova nga nagaingon: Unsa ba ang pagabuhaton ko niini nga katawohan? Daw andam na sila sa pagbato kanako.
5 Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “Take some of the elders/leaders of the Israeli people with you and [tell the rest of] the people to follow you [to Sinai Mountain]. Take along the stick with which you struck the Nile [River].
Ug si Jehova miingon kang Moises: Lumabay ka sa atubangan sa katawohan, ug dad-a uban kanimo ang mga anciano sa Israel, ug ang imong sungkod nga imong gilambos sa suba, kupti kini sa imong kamot ug lumakaw ka:
6 Listen carefully: I will stand in front of you on top of a [large] rock at the foot of the mountain. Strike the rock with your stick. [When you do that], water for the people to drink will flow out of the rock.” [When they/we arrived at the mountain], Moses/I did that while the Israeli elders were watching, [and water flowed from the rock].
Ania karon, ako magatindog sa atubangan mo didto sa ibabaw sa bato sa Horeb; ug tugsokon mo ang bato, ug gikan niini motubod ang tubig, aron makainum ang katawohan. Ug mao kini ang gibuhat ni Moises sa atubangan sa mga anciano sa Israel.
7 Moses/I gave that place two names [in the Hebrew language: ] Massah, [which means ‘testing’], and Meribah, [which means ‘complaining’]. He/I gave it the name Massah because the Israeli people were testing Yahweh, saying “Is Yahweh really among us [and able to help us], or not?”, and he/I gave it the name Meribah because they were [continually] complaining.
Ug gihinganlan niya ang ngalan niadtong dapita Masa ug /Meriba tungod sa pagpakiglalis sa mga anak sa Israel, ug kay gisulayan nila si Jehova nga nagaingon: Ania ba si Jehova sa taliwala kanato kun wala ba?
8 Then the descendants of the Amalek people-group came and fought against the Israeli people at Rephidim.
Ug mianha si Amalek ug nakig-away sa Israel didto sa Repidim.
9 Moses/I said to Joshua, [who was one of our army/Israeli leaders], “Choose some men to go out and fight against the Amalek people-group tomorrow. I will stand on the top of the hill, holding the stick that God told me to carry.”
Ug miingon si Moises kang Josue: Pagpili gikan kanato ug mga tawo ug gumula ka, magpakig-away ka kang Amalek; ugma motindog ako sa tumoy sa bungtod, ug ang sungkod sa Dios ania sa akong kamot.
10 So Joshua did what Moses/I told him to do. He took some men to fight against the Amalek people-group. [While they were fighting], Aaron, Hur, and Moses/I went up to the top of the hill [so that they/we could see the whole battle area].
Ug gibuhat ni Josue sumala sa giingon kaniya ni Moises, ug nakig-away kang Amalek; ug si Moises ug si Aaron ug si Hur nanungas sa tumoy sa bungtod.
11 Whenever Moses/I lifted up his/my arms, the Israeli men started to win [the battle]. And whenever he/I lowered his/my arms, the Amalek people-group started to win.
Ug nahatabo, nga sa gibayaw ni Moises ang iyang kamot, midaug ang Israel; apan sa gipaubos niya ang iyang kamot, midaug si Amalek.
12 But his/my arms became tired. So Aaron and Hur [rolled] a [large] stone for Moses/me to sit on. [While he/I was sitting on it], those two held up his/my arms, [one on one side and the other on the other side]. In that way, they kept his/my arms lifted up, and his/my arms held steady until the sun went down.
Apan ang mga kamot ni Moises nagmabug-at; ug mikuha sila ug usa ka bato, ug gibutang kini sa ilalum niya, ug milingkod siya sa ibabaw niini: ug gisangga ni Aaron ug ni Hur ang iyang mga kamot, ang usa sa usa ka luyo, ug ang usa didto sa pikas: ug ang iyang mga kamot milig-on hangtud nga misalop ang adlaw.
13 So Joshua and the men with him completely defeated the Amalek people-group, using their swords [to fight against them].
Ug gilaglag ni Josue si Amalek ug ang iyang katawohan sa sulab sa pinuti.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Write an account of this battle, and then read it to Joshua. [Also write that some day] I will completely get rid of the Amalek people-group.”
Ug si Jehova miingon kang Moises: Isulat kini nga usa ka handumanan diha sa usa ka basahon, ug sublion mo sa pagsaysay sa mga igdulungog ni Josue nga panason ko gayud ang handumanan ni Amalek sa ilalum sa langit.
15 Then Moses/I built a [stone] altar there and named it ‘Yahweh is [like] my flag’.
Ug si Moises nagpatindog ug usa ka halaran, ug iyang ginganlan kini Jehova-nissi:
16 He/I said, “Hold high Yahweh’s flag! Yahweh will continue to fight against the Amalek people-group (forever/in all future generations)!”
Ug miingon siya: Si Jehova nanumpa, si Jehova adunay pagpakig-away kang Amalek gikan sa kaliwatan ngadto sa kaliwatan.
