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 wildernesse of Sin, by their iourneyes at the commandement of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drinke.
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?”
Wherefore the people contended with Moses, and sayde, Giue vs water that we may drinke. And Moses sayde vnto them, Why contende yee with me? wherefore do ye tempt 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.”
So the people thirsted there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou thus brought vs out of Egypt to kill vs and our children and our cattel 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? for they be almost ready to 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 ye Lord answered to Moses, Goe before the people, and take with thee of the Elders of Israel: and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the riuer, take in thine hand, 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 thee vpon the rocke in Horeb, and thou shalt smite on the rocke, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drinke. And Moses did so 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?”
And he called the name of the place, Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among vs, or no?
8 Alò, Amalèk te vin goumen kont Israël nan Rephidim.
Then came Amalek and fought with Israel in 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.”
And Moses sayde to Ioshua, Chuse vs out men, and go fight with Amalek: to morowe I will stande on the toppe of the hill with the rod of God in mine 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.
So Ioshua did as Moses bad him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went vp 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 when Moses helde vp his hande, Israel preuailed: but when he let his hande downe, Amalek preuailed.
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.
Nowe Moses handes were heauy: therefore they tooke a stone and put it vnder him, and hee sate vpon it: and Aaron and Hur stayed vp his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side: so his hands were steady vntill the going downe of the sunne.
13 Epi Josué te bat Amalèk avèk pèp li a avèk lam nepe.
And Ioshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge 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 sayde to Moses, Write this for a remembrance in the booke, and rehearse it to Ioshua: for I will vtterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from vnder heauen.
15 Moïse te bati yon lotèl e te nonmen li: “SENYÈ a Se Drapo mwen.”
(And Moses builte an altar and called the name of it, Iehouah-nissi)
16 Li te di: “SENYÈ a te sèmante: SENYÈ a va fè lagè kont Amalèk de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.”
Also he said, The Lord hath sworne, that he will haue warre with Amalek from generation to generation.
