Egzòd 17
1 Alò, tout asanble a fis Israël yo te vwayaje pazapa vè dezè Sin nan. Selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, yo te fè kan nan Rephidim, men pa t gen dlo pou moun yo bwè.
Then the whole congregation of Israel left the Desert of Sin, moving from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Akoz sa, pèp la te chache kont avèk Moïse. Yo te di: “Bannou dlo pou nou kab bwè.” Konsa, Moïse te di: “Poukisa nou chache kont avè m? Poukisa nou pase SENYÈ a a leprèv?”
So the people contended with Moses, “Give us water to drink.” “Why do you contend with me?” Moses replied. “Why do you test the LORD?”
3 Men nan plas sa a pèp la te swaf dlo, epi yo te plenyen kont Moïse. Yo te di: “Poukisa ou te mennen nou monte isit la kite Égypte, pou touye nou avèk zanfan nou yo, ak bèt nou yo avèk swaf.”
But the people thirsted for water there, and they grumbled against Moses: “Why have you brought us out of Egypt—to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”
4 Alò Moïse te kriye a SENYÈ a. Li te di: “Kisa pou m ta fè ak pèp sa a? Yon ti kras ankò e y ap lapide mwen.”
Then Moses cried out to the LORD, “What should I do with these people? A little more and they will stone me!”
5 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pase devan pèp la, e pran avè w kèk nan ansyen Israël yo. Epi pran nan men ou baton ou avèk sila ou te frape Nil lan, e ale. Ou va frape wòch la, e dlo va sòti ladann, pou pèp la kapab bwè.”
And the LORD said to Moses, “Walk on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take along in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
6 Gade byen, Mwen va kanpe devan ou sou wòch Horeb la. Konsa, Moïse te fè sa devan zye a ansyen Israël yo.
Behold, I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. And when you strike the rock, water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 Li te nonmen kote a Massa ak Meriba, akoz kont ke fis Israël yo te genyen, e akoz ke yo te pase SENYÈ a a leprèv lè yo te di: “Èske SENYÈ a pami nou, wi oswa non?”
He named the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us or not?”
8 Alò, Amalèk te vin goumen kont Israël nan Rephidim.
After this, the Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
9 Konsa, Moïse te di a Josué: “Chwazi mesye yo pou nou, e sòti pou batay kont Amalèk. Demen mwen va vin estasyone Mwen menm nan do kolin nan avèk baton a Bondye a nan men m.”
So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with the staff of God in my hand.”
10 Josué te fè jan Moïse te mande li fè a, e li te goumen kont Amalèk. Epi Moïse, Aaron, avèk Hur te monte anwo tèt do kolin nan.
Joshua did as Moses had instructed him and fought against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè Moïse te leve men l, pèp Israël la te vin genyen, men lè li te kite men l desann, Amalèk te vin genyen.
As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed.
12 Men men Moïse te vin lou. Pou sa a, yo te pran yon wòch, yo te mete li anba li, e li te chita sou li. Aaron avèk Hur te bay men li soutyen, youn sou yon bò, e lòt la sou lòt bò a. Konsa men li te rete dyanm jis rive lè solèy la te vin kouche.
When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.
13 Epi Josué te bat Amalèk avèk pèp li a avèk lam nepe.
So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.
14 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ekri sa a nan yon liv pou gen kòm souvni, e repete li a Josué, ke Mwen va konplètman efase memwa Amalèk soti anba syèl la.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as a reminder and recite it to Joshua, because I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
15 Moïse te bati yon lotèl e te nonmen li: “SENYÈ a Se Drapo mwen.”
And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.
16 Li te di: “SENYÈ a te sèmante: SENYÈ a va fè lagè kont Amalèk de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.”
“Indeed,” he said, “a hand was lifted up toward the throne of the LORD. The LORD will war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
