Eksodosy 17
1 Nienga i fatrambey Siney mb’ ami’ty lia’ iareo ty valobohò’ o ana’ Israeleo ty ami’ty falie’ Iehovà vaho nañialo e Refidìme fe tsy aman-drano ho kamae’ ondatio.
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 Le nidoha raha amy Mosè ondatio nanao ty hoe, Meo rano hinome’ay. Hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo, Ino ty idabasidà’ areo amako? Ino ty itsoha’ areo t’Iehovà?
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 Fe nifeake hataliñiereñe ondatio vaho nitoreo amy Mosè ami’ty hoe, Ino ty nampiavota’o anay amy Mitsraime hamonoa’o anay naho o keleia’aio naho o hare’aio an-karan-dranoañe?
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 Aa le nitoreo am’ Iehovà t’i Mosè, ami’ty hoe: Ino ty hanoeko am’ondaty retoañe? Didý tsy ametsaha’ iareo vato.
Then Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
5 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Miaria aolo’ ondatio, le ampindrezo o androanavi’ Israeleo; tintino am-pitañe i kobay napao’o i Naileiy, le akia.
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 Inao, hijohañe añatrefa’o ambone’ i vato’ i Korèbey iraho. Paoho i vatoy, le hiakaran-drano, hikamà’ ondatio. Nanoe’ i Mosè izay, ampahaisaha’ o androanavi’ Israeleo.
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 Natao’e Masà naho Meribà i toetsey amy te nidoha raha naho nitsoke Iehovà o ana’Israeleo ami’ ty hoe, Amantika hao t’Iehovà ke ts’ie?
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 Niheo mb’eo amy zao t’i Amalèke nifañotak’ am’Israele e Refidime eo.
Then an army of the Amalek people came and attacked Israel at Rephidim.
9 Hoe t’i Mosè am’ Iehosoa, Joboño ondaty ho antika, le mionjona hialy amy Amalèke. Hijohañe ambone’ o vohitseo iraho te hamaray le ho an-tañako i kobain’ Añaharey.
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 Le nanoe’ Iehosoa i nampanoe’ i Mosèy vaho nialy amy Amalèke, le nañambone’ i vohitsey t’i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho i Khòre.
So Joshua fought Amalek as Moses had instructed, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 Aa ndra mbiambia te nahafañonga-pitàñe t’i Mosè le nahagioke t’Israele, fa ie nazè’e i fitàñey le nahareketse ka t’i Amalèke.
While Moses was holding his hands up, Israel was winning; when he let his hands rest, Amalek would begin to win.
12 Nihamokotse amy zao o fità’ i Mosèo le nandrambe vato naho napo’ iereo ambane’e hiambesara’e, naho nongahe’ i Aharone naho i Khòre o fità’eo, ty raik’ añ’ ila’e etia le ty raik’ atia vaho tsy nitroetroe o fità’eo ampara’ te nitsofotse i àndroy.
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 Le ginio’ Iehosoa am-bavam-pibara t’i Amalèke naho ondati’eo.
So Joshua defeated the people of Amalek with the sword.
14 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Sokiro am-boke ao izay ho tiahy vaho apoho an-dravembia’ Iehosoa te ho faoheko ambanen-dikerañe ty fitiahiañe i Amalèke.
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 Le nandrafitse kitrely t’i Mosè vaho natao’e ty hoe, Iehovà Nissy,
Then Moses built an altar and he called it “Yahweh is my banner.”
16 le hoe re, Aa kanao nañonjom-pitàñe amy fiambesa’ Iehovày t’i Amalèke, le hifañotak’ ama’e t’Iehovà, tarirats’ an-tariratse.
He said, “For a hand was lifted up to the throne of Yahweh—that Yahweh will wage war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
