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 sons of Israel journey from the wilderness of Sin, on their journeys, by the command of YHWH, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is 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 strive with Moses, and say, “Give us water, and we drink.” And Moses says to them, “Why do you strive with me? Why do you try YHWH?”
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 thirst for water there, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, “Why [is] this [that] you have brought us up out of Egypt to put us to death, also our sons and our livestock, 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 cries to YHWH, saying, “What do I do to this people? Yet a little, and they have stoned 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Pass over before the people, and take with you from [the] elderly of Israel, and take your rod in your hand, with which you have struck the River, and you have gone.
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 am standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you have struck on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.” And Moses does so before the eyes of [the] elderly 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 calls the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the strife of the sons of Israel, and because of their trying YHWH, saying, “Is YHWH in our midst or not?”
8 Alò, Amalèk te vin goumen kont Israël nan Rephidim.
And Amalek comes, and fights 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 says to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod 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.
And Joshua does as Moses has said to him, to fight with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur have gone up [to] the top of the height;
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 has come to pass, when Moses lifts up his hand, that Israel has been mighty, and when he lets his hands rest, that Amalek has been mighty.
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.
And the hands of Moses [are] heavy, and they take a stone and set [it] under him, and he sits on it, and Aaron and Hur have taken hold on his hands, one on this [side] and one on that [side]; and his hands are steadfast until the going in of the sun;
13 Epi Josué te bat Amalèk avèk pèp li a avèk lam nepe.
and Joshua weakens Amalek and his people by the mouth 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Write this, a memorial in a Scroll, and set [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens”;
15 Moïse te bati yon lotèl e te nonmen li: “SENYÈ a Se Drapo mwen.”
and Moses builds an altar, and calls its name YHWH-Nissi,
16 Li te di: “SENYÈ a te sèmante: SENYÈ a va fè lagè kont Amalèk de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.”
and says, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war [is] to YHWH with Amalek from generation [to] generation.”
