Baʼuu 17
1 Waldaan ijoollee Israaʼel hundi akkuma Waaqayyo ajajetti Gammoojjii Siiniitii kaʼanii iddoo tokko irraa gara iddoo biraatti darbaa dhaqanii Refiidiim qubatan. Garuu sabni sun bishaan dhugaatii hin arganne.
All the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] traveled from the wilderness of Cin [Clay], by their journeys, according to Adonai’s order, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Kanaafuu isaan, “Bishaan dhugnu nuu kenni” jedhanii Musee lolan. Museen immoo deebisee, “Isin maaliif na loltu? Waaqayyos maaliif qortu?” jedheen.
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses [Drawn out] said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Adonai?”
3 Jarris bishaan dheebotanii Museetti guunguman; akkanas jedhan; “Ati maaliif akka nu, ijoolleen keenyaa fi horiin keenya dheebuun dhumnuuf biyya Gibxiitii nu baafte?”
The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?”
4 Kana irratti Museen gara Waaqayyootti iyyee, “Ani saba kana maal godha? Isaan dhagaan na tumuuf xinnumatu hafe” jedhe.
Moses [Drawn out] cried to Adonai, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
5 Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedhee Museef deebii kenne; “Saba kana dura darbii deemi. Maanguddoota Israaʼel keessaa tokko tokko of faana fudhadhuutii ulee ittiin laga Abbayyaa dhoofte sana harkatti qabadhuu deemi.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel [God prevails] with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.
6 Kunoo ani kattaa Kooreeb sana bira fuula kee dura achi nan dhaabadha; akka namoonni bishaan dhuganiif ati kattaa sana dhaʼi; bishaanis isa keessaa ni baʼa.” Kanaafuu Museen fuula maanguddoota Israaʼel duratti akkasuma godhe.
Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb [Desert]. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses [Drawn out] did so in the sight of the elders of Israel [God prevails].
7 Sababii Israaʼeloonni lola kaasanii fi sababii isaan, “Waaqayyo nu wajjin jira moo hin jiru?” jechuudhaan Waaqayyoon qoraniif Museen iddoo sana Maasaahii fi Mariibaa jedhee moggaase.
He called the name of the place Massah [Testing], and Meribah [Quarreling], because the children of Israel [God prevails] quarreled, and because they tested Adonai, saying, “Is Adonai among us, or not?”
8 Amaaleqoonni dhufanii Refiidiimitti Israaʼeloota lolan.
Then Amalek [Man who licks up] came and fought with Israel [God prevails] in Rephidim.
9 Museenis Iyyaasuudhaan, “Namoota keenya keessaa muraasa filadhuutii dhaqii Amaaleqoota loli. Ani bor ulee Waaqaa harka kootti qabadhee fiixee gaara irra nan dhaabadha” jedhe.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Joshua [Yah Salvation], “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek [Man who licks up]. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.”
10 Yeroo Museen, Aroonii fi Huuri fiixee gaaratti ol baʼanitti, Iyyaasuun akkuma Museen ajajetti Amaaleqoota lola ture.
So Joshua [Yah Salvation] did as Moses [Drawn out] had told him, and fought with Amalek [Man who licks up]; and Moses [Drawn out], Aaron [Light-bringer], and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 Yeroo Museen harka isaa ol qabatutti Israaʼeloonni ni moʼatu turan; yeroo inni harka isaa gad buufatu immoo Amaaleqoonni ni moʼatu turan.
When Moses [Drawn out] held up his hand, Israel [God prevails] prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek [Man who licks up] prevailed.
12 Isaanis yeroo harki Musee dadhabaa deemetti dhagaa tokko fuudhanii isa jala kaaʼan; innis irra taaʼe. Aroonii fi Huuri inni tokko garanaan inni kaan immoo garasiin goranii akka harki isaa hamma aduun dhiitutti gad hin deebineef ol qabaniif.
But Moses [Drawn out]’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron [Light-bringer] and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.
13 Akkasiin Iyyaasuun loltoota Amaaleqootaa goraadeedhaan moʼate.
Joshua [Yah Salvation] defeated Amalek [Man who licks up] and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka wanni kun yaadatamuuf kitaabatti barreessi; Iyyaasuun waan kana dhagaʼuu isaa mirkaneessi; ani guutumaan guutuutti yaadannoo Amaaleqootaa samii jalaa nan balleessaatii.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua [Yah Salvation]: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek [Man who licks up] from under the sky.”
15 Museenis iddoo aarsaa ijaaree, “Waaqayyo Faajjii koo ti” jedhee moggaase.
Moses [Drawn out] built an altar, and called its name Adonai our Banner.
16 Innis, “Harki gara teessoo Waaqayyootti ol kaafameera. Waaqayyos dhaloota tokkoo gara dhaloota kaaniitti Amaaleqoota ni lola” jedhe.
He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Adonai will have war with Amalek [Man who licks up] from generation to generation.’”
