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.
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 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?
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 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?
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 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 to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will 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 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 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 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 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 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 Ary tonga ny Amalekita ka niady tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Refidima.
And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
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 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 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.
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 Ary raha nasandratr’ i Mosesy ny tànany, dia nahery ny Isiraely; fa raha nampidininy ny tànany, dia nahery kosa ny Amalekita.
And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.
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.
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 Ary Josoa dia nandresy ny Amalekita sy ny olony tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra.
And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by 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 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 Dia nanorina alitara Mosesy ka nanao ny anarany hoe: Jehovah Nisi.
And Moses built an altar: and called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying:
16 Fa hoy izy: Jehovah nianiana hoe: Ny adin’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Amalekita dia tsy hitsahatra hatramin’ izay taranany fara mandimby.
Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
