Ekoruhe 17
1 Na ka haere te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira i te koraha o Hini i o ratou haerenga, i pera tonu me ta Ihowa i ako ai, a noho rawa atu ki Repirimi: otiia kahore he wai hei inu ma te iwi.
And all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wildernesse of Sin, by their iourneyes at the commandement of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drinke.
2 Na ka ngangau te iwi ki a Mohi, ka mea, Homai ra he wai mo matou, kia inu ai matou. A ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, He aha koutou i ngangau ai ki ahau? he aha koutou i whakamatautau ai i a Ihowa?
Wherefore the people contended with Moses, and sayde, Giue vs water that we may drinke. And Moses sayde vnto them, Why contende yee with me? wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?
3 Na ka mate te iwi i te wai i reira; a amuamu ana te iwi ki a Mohi, a ka mea, He aha matou i kawea mai ai e koe i Ihipa kia kohurutia ai matou, me a matou tamariki, me a matou kararehe ki te matewai?
So the people thirsted there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou thus brought vs out of Egypt to kill vs and our children and our cattel with thirst?
4 Na ka karanga a Mohi ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Me pehea ahau ki te iwi nei? whano ratou aki i ahau ki te kohatu.
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? for they be almost ready to stone me.
5 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere i mua i te iwi, ka tango hoki i etahi o nga kaumatua o Iharaira hei hoa mou; ko tau tokotoko hoki i patua e koe ki te awa, me mau atu i tou ringa, ka haere.
And ye Lord answered to Moses, Goe before the people, and take with thee of the Elders of Israel: and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the riuer, take in thine hand, and go:
6 Nana, tena ahau te tu atu na i tou aroaro i reira, i runga i te kamaka i Horepa, a mau e patu te kamaka, a ka puta he wai i reira, hei inu ma te iwi. A peratia ana e Mohi i te tirohanga a nga kaumatua o Iharaira.
Behold, I will stand there before thee vpon the rocke in Horeb, and thou shalt smite on the rocke, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drinke. And Moses did so in the sight of the Elders of Israel.
7 A huaina ana e ia te ingoa o taua wahi ko Maha, ko Meripa; mo te ngangautanga a nga tama a Iharaira, mo ta ratou whakamatau hoki i a Ihowa, i a ratou i mea ra, Kei roto ranei a Ihowa i a tatou, kahore ranei?
And he called the name of the place, Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among vs, or no?
8 Na ka haere mai a Amareke, kei te whawhai ki a Iharaira ki Repirimi.
Then came Amalek and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Hohua, Whiriwhiria mai etahi tangata ma taua, ka haere ki te whawhai ki a Amareke: ka tu ahau apopo ki runga i te tihi o te pukepuke, me te rakau ano hoki a te Atua ki toku ringa.
And Moses sayde to Ioshua, Chuse vs out men, and go fight with Amalek: to morowe I will stande on the toppe of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 Na peratia ana e Hohua me ta Mohi i korero ai ki a ia; ko te tino whawhaitanga ki a Amareke: ko Mohi ia, ratou ko Arona, ko Huru, i piki ki te tihi o te pukepuke.
So Ioshua did as Moses bad him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went vp to the top of the hill.
11 A ka maiangi ake te ringa o Mohi, na, ka kaha a Iharaira; a ka tukua iho tona ringa, na, ka kaha a Amareke.
And when Moses helde vp his hande, Israel preuailed: but when he let his hande downe, Amalek preuailed.
12 Otiia ka taimaha nga ringa o Mohi; a ka mau raua ki tetahi kohatu, a whakatakotoria ana ki raro i a ia, a noho ana ia i runga; a puritia ake ana ona ringa e Arona raua ko Huru, kotahi i tetahi taha, kotahi i tetahi taha: katahi ka tuturu tonu on a ringa, a to noa te ra.
Nowe Moses handes were heauy: therefore they tooke a stone and put it vnder him, and hee sate vpon it: and Aaron and Hur stayed vp his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side: so his hands were steady vntill the going downe of the sunne.
13 Na patua ana a Amareke, ratou ko tona iwi, e Hohua ki te mata o te hoari.
And Ioshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tuhituhia tenei ki te pukapuka, hei whakamaharatanga; korerotia hoki ki nga taringa o Hohua: ka tino horoia atu hoki e ahau te maharatanga o Amareke i raro i te rangi.
And the Lord sayde to Moses, Write this for a remembrance in the booke, and rehearse it to Ioshua: for I will vtterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from vnder heauen.
15 A hanga ana e Mohi he aata, a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Ihowanihi.
(And Moses builte an altar and called the name of it, Iehouah-nissi)
16 I mea hoki ia, Kua ara nei te ringa ki te torona o Ihowa, na he pakanga ta Ihowa ki a Amareke i tenei whakapaparanga, i tenei whakapaparanga.
Also he said, The Lord hath sworne, that he will haue warre with Amalek from generation to generation.
