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.
Oganda jo-Israel duto nochako wuoth kawuok e thim mar Sin, ka giwuotho ka gi kacha mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochikogi. Ne gibworo Refidim, to ne onge pi mane ji nyalo modho.
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?”
Kuom mano negidhawo gi Musa kagiwacho niya, “Miwa pi wamodhi.” To Musa nodwokogi niya “En angʼo momiyo udhawo koda? En angʼo momiyo uketo Jehova Nyasaye e tem?”
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?”
To kata kamano ji ne riyo mar pi oloyo kanyo, kendo ji nongʼur ni Musa. Negiwachone niya, “En angʼo momiyo nigolowa Misri mondo nyithindwa kaachiel gi jambwa otho?”
4 Then Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
Eka Musa noywak ni Jehova Nyasaye niya, “En angʼo mowinjore atim kod jogi? Gichiegni kata mana goya gi kite.”
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.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wuothi idhi e nyim oganda. Kaw jodong jo-Israel moko mondo odhi kodi kendo kaw luth mane ichwadogo aora Nael mondo idhigo.
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.
Abiro chungʼ e nyimi e bath lwanda mantie Horeb. Chwad lwanda to pi nowuog kuome mi oganda nomodhi.” Kuom Mano Musa notimo kamano e nyim jodong jo-Israel duto.
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?”
Eka nochako kanyo ni Masa kod Meriba nikech jo-Israel nogwandore kanyo to bende nikech ne gitemo Jehova Nyasaye kagiwacho niya, “Bende Jehova Nyasaye ni e dierwa koso?”
8 Then an army of the Amalek people came and attacked Israel at Rephidim.
Jo-Amalek nobiro momonjo jo-Israel Refidim.
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.”
Eka Musa nonyiso Joshua niya, “Yier jomoko kuom jowa mondo idhi iked gi jo-Amalek. Kiny anachungʼ ewi got gi ludh Nyasaye e lweta.”
10 So Joshua fought Amalek as Moses had instructed, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Kuom mano Joshua nokedo gi jo-Amalek mana kaka Musa nochiko, kendo Musa gi Harun kod Hur nodhi ewi got.
11 While Moses was holding his hands up, Israel was winning; when he let his hands rest, Amalek would begin to win.
E kinde duto mane Musa osiko kotingʼo bedene malo, to jo-Israel ne loyo, to kane Musa odwoko bedene piny, to jo-Amalek ema ne loyo.
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.
Ka bede Musa nojony, to negikawo kidi mi giketone mondo obedie. Harun gi Hur ne ojuko bedene kotingʼo malo, ka ngʼato achiel omako bade konchiel, to machielo omako komachielo, omiyo bedene nosiko kochungʼ tir nyaka podho chiengʼ.
13 So Joshua defeated the people of Amalek with the sword.
Kuom mano Joshua noloyo jolwenj jo-Amalek mana gi ligangla.
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.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ndik wachni e kitap ndiko kaka gima ibiro par bende nyaka ine ni Joshua owinje, nimar abiro tieko jo-Amalek duto e piny ka.”
15 Then Moses built an altar and he called it “Yahweh is my banner.”
Musa nogero kendo mar misango mochake ni “Jehova Nyasaye en banderana.”
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.”
Nowacho kama, “Nimar bede notingʼ malo e nyim kom duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye. Kendo Jehova Nyasaye noked gi jo-Amalek e tienge duto.”
