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.
Oo markaasaa shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ka sodcaaleen cidlada Siin la yidhaahdo, oo waxay u socdeen sidii Rabbigu ku amray, kolkaasay waxay degeen meel la yidhaahdo Refiidiim; oo dadkuna ma ay haysan biyo ay cabbaan.
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]?”
Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii waxay la dirireen Muuse, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War biyo aannu cabno na sii. Kolkaasaa Muuse wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Bal maxaad aniga iila diriraysaan? Oo maxaad Rabbiga u jirrabaysaan?
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]?”
Markaasay dadkii meeshaas biyo ugu harraadeen; kolkaasaa dadkii intay Muuse u gunuuseen ayay waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad Masar nooga soo kaxaysay? Ma inaad annaga iyo carruurtayada, iyo xoolahayaga harraad noogu disha baa?
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!”
Kolkaasaa Muuse Rabbiga u qayshaday oo ku yidhi, Bal maxaan dadkan ku sameeyaa? Waayo, waxay ku dhow yihiin inay i dhagxiyaan.
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].
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Bal dadka ka hor mar, oo waxaad kaxaysataa waayeellada reer binu Israa'iil, ushaadii aad webiga ku dhufatayna gacanta ku qabso oo tag.
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].
Oo bal ogow, halkaas ayaan hortaada isku dul taagi doonaa dhagaxa weyn oo Xoreeb yaal, kolkaas waa inaad dhagaxa ushaada ku dhufataa, oo waxaa halkaas ka iman doona biyo ay dadku cabbaan. Kolkaasaa Muuse sidaas ku sameeyey waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.
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.
Markaasuu meeshaas magaceedii wuxuu u bixiyey Masaah iyo Meriibaah, dirirtii ay reer binu Israa'iil dirireen aawadeed, iyo jirrabaaddii ay Rabbiga jirrabeen aawadeed, oo ay yidhaahdeen, War, Rabbigu ma na dhex joogaa mise nama dhex joogo?
8 Then the descendants of the Amalek people-group came and fought against the Israeli people at Rephidim.
Markaasaa waxaa yimid reer Camaaleq, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil kula diriray Refiidiim.
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.”
Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Rag inoo dooro, oo la bax, oo reer Camaaleq la dirir. Berrito waxaan istaagi doonaa buurta dusheeda, anigoo gacanta ku haysta ushii Ilaah.
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].
Kolkaasaa Yashuuca yeelay sidii Muuse ku yidhi, oo wuxuu la diriray reer Camaaleq. Markaasaa Muuse iyo Haaruun iyo Xuur waxay koreen ilaa buurta dusheedii.
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.
Oo markii Muuse gacanta kor u taagayba, waxaa adkaaday reer binu Israa'iil; markuu gacanta dejiyeyna, waxaa adkaaday reer Camaaleq.
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.
Laakiinse Muuse gacmihiisu way cuslaayeen; kolkaasay waxay soo qaadeen dhagax, oo Muuse u saldhigeen, isna kolkaasuu ku fadhiistay; Haaruun iyo Xuurna gacmihiisii bay sare u hayeen, intuu midba dhinac ka maray, oo gacmihiisiina way xoogeeyeen ilaa ay qorraxdii dhacday.
13 So Joshua and the men with him completely defeated the Amalek people-group, using their swords [to fight against them].
Oo Yashuucana seef afkeed buu ku jebiyey reer Camaaleq iyo dadkiisiiba.
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.”
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Waxan buug ku qor si loo xusuusto, oo Yashuuca dhegihiisa maqashii, waayo, xusuusta reer Camaaleq lagu xusuusan jiray ayaan inta samada ka hoosaysa oo dhan ka baabbi'inayaa.
15 Then Moses/I built a [stone] altar there and named it ‘Yahweh is [like] my flag’.
Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu dhisay meel allabari, oo magaceedii wuxuu u bixiyey Yehowah Nisii,
16 He/I said, “Hold high Yahweh’s flag! Yahweh will continue to fight against the Amalek people-group (forever/in all future generations)!”
oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu waa dhaartay, oo Rabbigu wuu la dagaallami doonaa reer Camaaleq ka ab ka ab.
