Exodus 17
1 Sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel som liki yen mwesis Sin, ac mukuiyak liki sie acn nu ke sie pac acn oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu selos. Elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos Rephidim, tusruk wangin kof in nimnim we.
Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Elos torkaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk, “Se kof nimasr.” Moses el topuk, “Efu kowos ku torkaskas nu sik? Efu kowos ku srike LEUM GOD?”
And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you tempt the Lord?
3 A mwet uh arulana malu ac sikalani na in torkaskas nu sel Moses. Elos fahk, “Mea, kom uskutme liki acn Egypt in tuh unikuti, ac tulik natusr ac kosro natusr, ke malu?”
So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst?
4 Moses el kwafeang in pre nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Mea nga ac ku in oru nu sin mwet inge? Elos akola in tungalyu pa inge.”
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Eis kutu sin mwet kol lun Israel wi kom, ac fahla meet liki mwet uh. Us sikal soko ma kom tuh sang sringilya Infacl Nile ah.
And the Lord said to Moses: God before the people, and take with thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith thou didst strike the river, and go.
6 Ke kom fah sun sie eot pe eol Sinai, nga fah tu fac ye motom. Puokya eot sac, ac kof uh ac sororma liki, tuh mwet uh in nim kac.” Moses el oru ouinge ye mutun mwet kol lun Israel.
Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb: and thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel:
7 Ac Moses el sang inen acn sac Massah, mweyen mwet Israel elos tuh torkaskas. Acn sac pacna el sang ine Meribah, mweyen mwet uh elos tuh srike LEUM GOD ke elos fahk, “Ya LEUM GOD El wi kut, ku tia?”
And he called the name of that place Temptation, because the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not?
8 Mwet Amalek tuku ac mweun nu sin mwet Israel in acn Rephidim.
And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
9 Moses el fahk nu sel Joshua, “Sulela kutu mwet in som ac mweuni mwet Amalek lutu. Nga fah tu fin inging uh ac sruokya sikal soko ma God El sap nga in us uh.”
And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men: and go out and fight against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill having the rod of God in my hand.
10 Joshua el oru oana Moses el sapkin nu sel, ac illa in mweun lain mwet Amalek, ke Moses, Aaron, ac Hur fanyak nu fin mangon inging uh.
Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur went up upon the top of the hill.
11 Lusenna pacl Moses el kolak paol nu lucng, na mwet Israel ah ku, a ke el eisya paol nu ten, na mwet Amalek ah ku.
And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.
12 Pacl se paol Moses mutawauk in ulla, Aaron ac Hur use sie eot elan muta fac, ac eltal tu siskal lac lac, ac kolak paol kewa nu lucng. Eltal kolak paol nwe ke faht ah tili.
And Moses’ hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass that his hands were not weary until sunset.
13 Ouinge Joshua el arulana kutangla mwet Amalek.
And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.
14 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Simusla luman kutangla se inge tuh in ku in esamyuk. Fahk nu sel Joshua lah nga ac arulana kunausla mwet Amalek uh.”
And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Josue: for I will destroy the memory of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Moses el etoak loang se ac sang ine, “LEUM GOD El Flag Luk.”
And Moses built an altar: and called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying:
16 El fahk, “Kolak flag lun LEUM GOD nu lucng! LEUM GOD El ac fah mweuni mwet Amalek uh nwe tok!”
Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
