Eksodosy 17
1 Ary nifindra ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka niala tao an-efitra Sina, araka izay natoron’ i Jehovah hitobiany, dia nitoby tao Refidima; ary tsy nisy rano hosotroin’ ny olona.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Dia nila ady tamin’ i Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Omeo rano izahay mba hosotroinay. Fa hoy Mosesy taminy: Nahoana no mila ady amiko ianareo? Nahoana no maka fanahy an’ i Jehovah ianareo?
Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?
3 Ary nangetaheta teo ny olona, dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosesy izy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana ianao no nitondra anay niakatra niala tany Egypta hahafatin-ketaheta anay sy ny zanakay ary ny bibinay?
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 Ary Mosesy nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hataoko amin’ ireto olona ireto? fa mila hitora-bato ahy izy.
And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone me.
5 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandrosoa eo alohan’ ny olona, ary itondray hiaraka aminao ny loholon’ ny Isiraely; ary ny tehinao, ilay nikapohanao an’ i Neily, dia ento eny an-tananao, ka mandehana.
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go.
6 Ary, indro, hijanona eo anatrehanao eo ambonin’ ny harambato any Horeba Aho, dia hikapoka ny harambato ianao, ka hisy rano hivoaka avy aminy hosotroin’ ny olona. Dia nanao izany Mosesy teo imason’ ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Masa sy Meriba, noho ny ady nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, sy noho ny nakany fanahy an’ i Jehovah hoe: Eto aminay va Jehovah, sa tsia?
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
8 Ary tonga ny Amalekita ka niady tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Refidima.
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Josoa: Mifidiana lehilahy ho antsika, dia mandehana ka miadia amin’ ny Amalekita; rahampitso dia hijoro eo an-tampon’ ny havoana aho ka hitana ny tehin’ Andriamanitra etỳ an-tanako.
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.
10 Ary Josoa dia nanao araka izay efa nolazain’ i Mosesy taminy, ka niady tamin’ ny Amalekita izy; ary Mosesy sy Arona sy Hora kosa niakatra ho ao an-tampon’ ny havoana.
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 Ary raha nasandratr’ i Mosesy ny tànany, dia nahery ny Isiraely; fa raha nampidininy ny tànany, dia nahery kosa ny Amalekita.
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 Fa efa vizana ny tanan’ i Mosesy; ka dia naka vato izy roa lahy, ka nataony teo ambanin’ i Mosesy hipetrahany; ary Arona sy Hora dia nanohana ny tànany, ka ny iray tamin’ ny anila, ary ny iray kosa tamin’ ny anila; dia naharitra tsy nidina intsony ny tànany mandra-pahafatin’ ny masoandro.
But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 Ary Josoa dia nandresy ny Amalekita sy ny olony tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra.
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Soraty eo amin’ ny boky izany ho fahatsiarovana, ka ambarao amin’ i Josoa; fa hofoanako tokoa ny fahatsiarovana ny Amalekita tsy ho eny ambanin’ ny lanitra.
and Jehovah said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15 Dia nanorina alitara Mosesy ka nanao ny anarany hoe: Jehovah Nisi.
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi;
16 Fa hoy izy: Jehovah nianiana hoe: Ny adin’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Amalekita dia tsy hitsahatra hatramin’ izay taranany fara mandimby.
and he said, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
