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.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in Raphidin: and 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?”
And the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and Moses said to them, Why do you revile me, and why tempt you 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.”
And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? have you brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with 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.”
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little while 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, Go before this people, and take to yourself of the elders of the people; and the rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and you shall 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 stand there before you [come], on the rock in Choreb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons 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?”
And he called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord amongst us or not?
8 Alò, Amalèk te vin goumen kont Israël nan Rephidim.
And Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
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.”
And Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for yourself mighty men, and go forth and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I [shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] 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.
And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or 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.
And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalec 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.
But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.
13 Epi Josué te bat Amalèk avèk pèp li a avèk lam nepe.
And Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of 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.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak [this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Moïse te bati yon lotèl e te nonmen li: “SENYÈ a Se Drapo mwen.”
And Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord my Refuge.
16 Li te di: “SENYÈ a te sèmante: SENYÈ a va fè lagè kont Amalèk de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.”
For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
