प्रस्थान 17
1 परमप्रभुको निर्देशन मानी इस्राएलीहरूको सारा समुदाय सीनको उजाड-स्थानबाट यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरूले रपीदीममा छाउनी हाले, तर त्यहाँ मानिसहरूलाई पिउन पानी थिएन ।
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 त्यसैले मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूको अवस्थाको निम्ति मोशालाई दोष लगाए र भने, “हामीलाई पिउन पानी दिनुहोस् ।” मोशाले भने, “तिमीहरू किन मसित झगडा गर्छौ? तिमीहरू किन परमप्रभुको जाँच गर्छौ?”
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 मानिसहरू तिर्खाएका थिए । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले मोशाको विरुद्धमा गनगन गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “तपाईंले हामीलाई मिश्रबाट किन निकालेर ल्याउनुभएको? हामी, हाम्रा छोराछोरी र हाम्रा गाईवस्तुलाई तिर्खाले मार्नलाई?”
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 तब मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे, “यी मानिसहरूलाई मैले के गर्ने? तिनीहरू मलाई ढुङ्गा हान्न झण्डै तयार छन् ।”
And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone me.
5 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसहरूभन्दा अगाडि जा, र इस्राएलका केही धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई पनि आफूसँगै लैजा । तैँले नदीमा प्रहार गरेको लट्ठी पनि सँगै लिएर जा ।
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 म होरेब पर्वतमा चट्टानमा तेरो सामु खडा हुनेछु, र तैँले चट्टानलाई हिर्का । मानिसहरूलाई पिउन चट्टानबाट पानी निस्केर आउनेछ ।” तब मोशाले इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूको दृष्टिमा त्यसै गरे ।
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 इस्राएलीहरूको गनगन र “परमप्रभु हाम्रा बिचमा हुनुहुन्छ कि हुनुहुन्न?” भनी तिनीहरूले प्रभुको जाँच गरेकाले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ मस्साह र मेरीबा राखे ।
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 तब रपीदीममा अमालेक जातिका सेना आएर इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गरे ।
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 त्यसैले मोशाले यहोशूलाई भने, “केही मानिसहरू छानेर जाऊ र अमालेकीहरूसित युद्ध गर । भोलि म परमेश्वरको लट्ठी मेरो हातमा लिएर पर्वतको टुप्पोमा उभिनेछु ।”
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 त्यसैले मोशाको आज्ञामुताबिक यहोशू अमालेकीहरूको विरुद्धमा लडे जब कि मोशा, हारून र हूरचाहिँ पर्वतको टुप्पोमा उक्ले ।
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 मोशाले आफ्ना हात माथि उठाउँदा इस्राएलले जित्थो भने तिनले आफ्ना हात तल झार्दा अमालेकीहरूले जित्न थाल्थे ।
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 मोशाका हात थाक्दा हारून र हूरले एउटा ढुङ्गा ल्याएर तीमुनि राखिदिन्थे । त्यसै बेला हारून एकापट्टि र हूर अर्कोपट्टि बसेर तिनका हात माथि उठाउँथे । सूर्यास्त नहोउञ्जेलसम्म मोशाका हात थामिए ।
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 अनि यहोशूले अमालेकीहरूलाई तरवारले पराजित गरे ।
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “यो कुरा एउटा पुस्तकमा लेख् र त्यो यहोशूलाई बताइदे किनकि म अमालेकीहरूको स्मृति आकाशमुनिबाट पूर्ण रूपमा नामेट पारिदिनेछु ।”
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 तब मोशाले त्यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाए र त्यसको नाउँ “परमप्रभु मेरो झण्डा हुनुहुन्छ” राखे ।
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi;
16 तिनले भने, “पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म परमप्रभु नै अमालेकीहरूसित लड्नुभएको होस् भनेर उहाँको सिंहासनतिर हात उचालिएको थियो ।”
and he said, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
