1Then the whole congregation of Israel left the Desert of Sin, moving from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
1Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Sin praezaek hoi tacawt o moe, ahmuen kalah bangah kholong caeh o; Rephidim ahmuen ah anghak o; to ahmuen ah loe kaminawk mah naek o hanah tui to om ai.
2So the people contended with Moses, “Give us water to drink.” “Why do you contend with me?” Moses replied. “Why do you test the LORD?”
2Topongah kaminawk mah, Ka naek o hanah tui na paek ah, tiah Mosi to zoeh o. Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Tikhoe kai nang zoeh o moe, Angraeng to na tanoek o loe? tiah a naa.
3But the people thirsted for water there, and they grumbled against Moses: “Why have you brought us out of Egypt—to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”
3Toe kaminawk loe tui anghaeh o boeh pongah, Mosi to laisaep o thuih; nihcae mah, Tipongah kaimah hoi ka caanawk khue ai ah, ka tawnh o ih moinawk doeh duek hanah, Izip prae thung hoi hae praezaek ah nang caeh haih loe? tiah a naa o.
4Then Moses cried out to the LORD, “What should I do with these people? A little more and they will stone me!”
4To naah Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah, Hae kaminawk hae kawbang maw ka naa han? Kai thlung hoi ang vah o tom boeh, tiah a hang.
5And the LORD said to Moses, “Walk on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take along in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
5To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Kaminawk hmaa ah caeh ah, Israel kacoehtanawk hoi nawnto caeh ah, tuipui na bohhaih cunghet to sin ah loe, caeh ah.
6Behold, I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. And when you strike the rock, water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
6Khenah, Na hmaa ih Horeb lungsong nuiah kang doet han; lungsong to bop ah, kaminawk mah naek o hanah, lungsong thung hoiah tui to tacawt tih, tiah a naa. Mosi mah to tiah Israel kaminawk mikhnuk ah sak.
7He named the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us or not?”
7Israel kaminawk mah, Aicae salakah Angraeng oh maw, om ai? tiah Angraeng to tanoek o moe, zoeh o pongah, to ahmuen to Massah hoi Meribah, tiah ahmin paek o.
8After this, the Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
8Amalek kaminawk loe angzoh o moe, Rephidim ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk hoiah angtuk o.
9So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with the staff of God in my hand.”
9Mosi mah Joshua khaeah, Aicae thung hoi thoemto kaminawk to qoi ah loe, Amalek misatuk hanah caeh ah; khawnbang ah Sithaw ih cunghet to ban ah ka sin moe, mae nuiah kang doet han, tiah a naa.
10Joshua did as Moses had instructed him and fought against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
10To pongah Mosi mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Joshua mah Amalek kaminawk to tuk; to naah Mosi, Aaron hoi Hur loe mae nuiah dawh o.
11As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed.
11Mosi ban payangh naah, Israel kaminawk mah misa pazawk o; toe anih ih ban pakhrak tathuk naah, Amalek kaminawk mah pazawk o.
12When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.
12Mosi ban khah naah thlung to lak o moe, anih tlim ah suek pae o; anih to thlung nuiah anghnut o sak pacoengah, Aaron hoi Hur mah anih ih ban to hae bang hoi ho bang, niduem khoek to, pakhrah ai ah atoengh pae hoi.
13So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.
13To pongah Joshua mah Amalek misa to sumsen hoiah tuk pazawk.
14Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as a reminder and recite it to Joshua, because I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
14To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae hmuen hae panoek poe hanah cabu pongah tarik ah loe, Joshua han kahoih ah kroek paeh; Amalek kaminawk poekhaih loe van tlim hoiah kang hmatsak han, tiah a naa.
15And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.
15Mosi mah hmaicam maeto sak moe, Jehovah-nissi, tiah ahmin paek.
16“Indeed,” he said, “a hand was lifted up toward the throne of the LORD. The LORD will war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
16Mosi mah, A caanawk adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to Angraeng mah Amalek kaminawk to tuh tih, tiah Angraeng mah lokkam boeh, tiah thuih.
