Exodus 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their stages, according to the commandment of the LORD, and encamped in Rephidim; and 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.
2Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said: 'Give us water that we may drink.' And Moses said unto them: 'Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye try 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.
3And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said: 'Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with 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.
4And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying: 'What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to 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 unto Moses: 'Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, 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 before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.' And Moses did so 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.
7And the name of the place was called Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tried 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.
8Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
8Amalek kaminawk loe angzoh o moe, Rephidim ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk hoiah angtuk o.
9And Moses said unto Joshua: 'Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod 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.
10So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek; and 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.
11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
11Mosi ban payangh naah, Israel kaminawk mah misa pazawk o; toe anih ih ban pakhrak tathuk naah, Amalek kaminawk mah pazawk o.
12But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
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.
13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
13To pongah Joshua mah Amalek misa to sumsen hoiah tuk pazawk.
14And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance 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 called the name of it Adonai-nissi.
15Mosi mah hmaicam maeto sak moe, Jehovah-nissi, tiah ahmin paek.
16And he said: 'The hand upon the throne of the LORD: the LORD will have war with 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.
