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, after their journeyings, by the order of the Lord; and they 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?
And the people quarrelled with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink; and Moses said unto them, Why will ye quarrel with me? why will ye 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?
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, For what purpose is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill me and my children and my 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 the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? but little is wanting 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 unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel; and thy staff, 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 be standing before thee there upon the rock at Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come out from it water, and the people shall drink; and Moses did so before the eyes 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 quarrelling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is then the Lord 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 for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff 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.
And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Chur 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, that 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 when the hands of Moses became heavy, they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Chur supported his hands, one on 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 the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
15 Dia nanorina alitara Mosesy ka nanao ny anarany hoe: Jehovah Nisi.
And Moses built an altar, and called its name Adonay Nissy [[The Lord is my Banner]].
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, Because the Lord hath sworn on his throne, that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
