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.
The whole community of the Israelites journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, following Yahweh's instructions. They camped at 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.
So the people blamed Moses for their situation and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”
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 very thirsty, and they complained against Moses. They said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt? To kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?”
4 Kana irratti Museen gara Waaqayyootti iyyee, “Ani saba kana maal godha? Isaan dhagaan na tumuuf xinnumatu hafe” jedhe.
Then Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with this 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people, and take with you some elders of Israel. Take with you the staff with which you struck the river, 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.
I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you will strike the rock. Water will come out of it for the people to drink.” Then Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
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 that place Massah and Meribah because of the Israelites' complaining, and because they had tested the Lord by saying, “Is Yahweh among us or not?”
8 Amaaleqoonni dhufanii Refiidiimitti Israaʼeloota lolan.
Then an army of the Amalek people came and attacked Israel at 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.
So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some men and go out. Fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”
10 Yeroo Museen, Aroonii fi Huuri fiixee gaaratti ol baʼanitti, Iyyaasuun akkuma Museen ajajetti Amaaleqoota lola ture.
So Joshua fought Amalek as Moses had instructed, while Moses, Aaron, 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.
While Moses was holding his hands up, Israel was winning; when he let his hands rest, Amalek would begin to win.
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.
When Moses' hands became heavy, Aaron and Hur took a stone and put it under him for him to sit on. At the same time, Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one person on one side of him, and the other person on the other side. So Moses' hands were held steady until the sun went down.
13 Akkasiin Iyyaasuun loltoota Amaaleqootaa goraadeedhaan moʼate.
So Joshua defeated the people of Amalek with 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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this in a book and read it in Joshua's hearing, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under the skies.”
15 Museenis iddoo aarsaa ijaaree, “Waaqayyo Faajjii koo ti” jedhee moggaase.
Then Moses built an altar and he called it “Yahweh is my banner.”
16 Innis, “Harki gara teessoo Waaqayyootti ol kaafameera. Waaqayyos dhaloota tokkoo gara dhaloota kaaniitti Amaaleqoota ni lola” jedhe.
He said, “For a hand was lifted up to the throne of Yahweh—that Yahweh will wage war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
