< Exodus 17 >
1 The whole community of the Israelites journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, following Yahweh's instructions. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
Pakai thupeh bang in Israel chate abonchauvin Sin gammang akon in akitol uvin mun khat akon munchom khat'a akitol leuvin ahi. Rephidem kiti mun'na ngahmun akisem'uvin hinlah hiche lai mun'na chun twidon ding aumta pon ahi.
2 So the people blamed Moses for their situation and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”
Mipi jong Mose heng'a avel lin a phunchel kit tauvin, “Don ding twi neipe uvin,” ati tauve. Mose'n a donbut in ajah uva, “Ipi ding'a kei koma ki phin'a na hiuvem? Chule ipi ding'a nang hon Pakai na patep u ham?”
3 The people were very thirsty, and they complained against Moses. They said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt? To kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?”
Mipihon twi angaicha jing uvin Mose dounan thu aseijun akiphin gam tauvin, “Ipi ding'a Egypt gamsung'a kon'na nei hin puidoh mong mong'u hitam? Nangman keiho le, ka chate'u chule ka gan chate'u ka boncha uva dangchah'a thigam sah ding nei got uva hitam?” tin asei uve.
4 Then Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
Chuin Mose jong Pathen heng'a kap pum'in ataovin, “Hiche miteho ding'a ipi kabol ding hitam? Song'a selih ding eigo tauve,” ati.
5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people, and take with you some elders of Israel. Take with you the staff with which you struck the river, and go.
“Chuin Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Mipiho ma'sang a konchun ki khen doh tem'in chule Nile vadung San najepna tenggol chu kichoiyin lang Israel upa ho phabep kipuijin.”
6 I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you will strike the rock. Water will come out of it for the people to drink.” Then Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
“Keiman Sinai molsang songpi chungvum'ma ka dinpi ding nahiye, chuteng songpi chu jep lechun twi hung kikho doh jeng ding, Israel miten adon thei diu ahitai,” ati.
7 He called that place Massah and Meribah because of the Israelites' complaining, and because they had tested the Lord by saying, “Is Yahweh among us or not?”
Mose'n jong hiche mun chu Massah asah tan ahi (hichu ‘patepna’ tia kihe ahi) Chule Maribah (hichu ‘ki khoh doh’ tina ahi) ajeh chu Isreal mite Mose heng'a aphunchil uva, Pakai doumah jing asei doh uvin, “Na Pakaiyin keiho hikoma hi ei umpi mong uva hinam?” atiuvin ahi.
8 Then an army of the Amalek people came and attacked Israel at Rephidim.
Israel mite Rephidim mun aum jinglai yun, Amalek mite ahung kon uvin akisat petauve.
9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some men and go out. Fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”
Chuin Mose'n jong Joshua heng'a thupeh aneiyin, “Amalek mite toh kisat ding pasal galsat ding phabep khat lheng doh tem'in. Jing nikho le keima gamlah molsang'a ka din ding hichea chu Pathen bantha hat ka dopsang'a ka pan ding ahi,” ati.
10 So Joshua fought Amalek as Moses had instructed, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Mose thupeh bang'in, Joshua'n jong Galsat ding pasal phabep alheng doh tan Amalek mite chu gal akisat pi tauvin ahi. Chuin Mose, Aaron leh Hur amaho cheng chu gam lah molsang lam'a akal tou tauvin ahi.
11 While Moses was holding his hands up, Israel was winning; when he let his hands rest, Amalek would begin to win.
Mose'n akhut teni a dopsang chan in Israel mite ahat be cheh jiuvin, chule akhutteni akham teng le vang Amelek mite ahat jita uvin ahi.
12 When Moses' hands became heavy, Aaron and Hur took a stone and put it under him for him to sit on. At the same time, Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one person on one side of him, and the other person on the other side. So Moses' hands were held steady until the sun went down.
Mose khut teni chu ahung khaam tan ahile aman jong adomsang joutapon chuin Aaron le Hur'in jong akhut ngap nading'in song ahol le hontan, a khut teni chu song chung'a angam lhan toumun in nilhum keijin akhut chu chol lou helin a domsang thei tan ahiye.
13 So Joshua defeated the people of Amalek with the sword.
Ajonan Joshua le agalsat mihon Amelek mite chu ajoutaovin ahi.
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this in a book and read it in Joshua's hearing, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under the skies.”
Gal ajo phat uvin, Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Het jing na ding'in lekhajol khat lanlang hiche gal kisat chung chang thuhi sunlut'in lang Joshua nabeng'a avella nasim peh tan: vannoiya Amalek kihetna kiti keiman kasuh mang hel ahitai,” ati.
15 Then Moses built an altar and he called it “Yahweh is my banner.”
Mose'n jong hiche lai munna chun maicham asem in, “YAWEH-NISSI” (Pakai chu kaponlop ahi) tin asah tai.
16 He said, “For a hand was lifted up to the throne of Yahweh—that Yahweh will wage war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
Aman aseijin, “Amalek mite'n Pakai doumah'a chon masao ahin, tunvang! Pakaiyin imatih channa Amalek mite akidou peding ahitai,” ati.
