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 travelled from the wilderness of Sin, starting according to the LORD’s commandment, 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 quarrelled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?”
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; so the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, 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 cried to the LORD, 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel 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. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” 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 the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarrelled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD amongst us, or not?”
8 Amaaleqoonni dhufanii Refiidiimitti Israaʼeloota lolan.
Then Amalek came and fought with Israel 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 said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out to fight with Amalek. 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 did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and 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.
When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek 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’ hands were heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron 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 defeated Amalek 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.”
15 Museenis iddoo aarsaa ijaaree, “Waaqayyo Faajjii koo ti” jedhee moggaase.
Moses built an altar, and called its name “The LORD our Banner”.
16 Innis, “Harki gara teessoo Waaqayyootti ol kaafameera. Waaqayyos dhaloota tokkoo gara dhaloota kaaniitti Amaaleqoota ni lola” jedhe.
He said, “The LORD has sworn: ‘The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”
