Pukaana 17
1 HELE mai la ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela, mai ka waonahele o Sina, i ko lakou hele ana, e like no me ke kauoha a Iehova, a hoomoana iho la lakou ma Repidima: aohe hoi wai e inu no na kanaka.
All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to YHWH's commandment, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Nuku mai la na kanaka ia Mose, i mai la, E haawi mai i wai no makou e inu ai. I aku la, o Mose ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i nuku mai ai ia'u? no ke aha la oukou i aa aku ai ia Iehova?
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test YHWH?"
3 Malaila na kanaka i makewai ai; ohumu ae la na kanaka ia Mose, i mai la lakou, No ke aha la oe i lawe mai ai ia makou, mai Aigupita mai, e make makou, a me ka makou keiki, a me ka makou holoholona, i ka makewai?
The people were thirsty for water there; and 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 Uwe aku la o Mose ia Iehova, i aka la, Pehea la ka'u e hana mai ai i keia poe kanaka? ua kokoke lakou e hailuku mai ia'u.
Moses cried to YHWH, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."
5 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hele ae oe mamua o na kanaka; a e lawe pu aku me oe i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela; a e lawe no hoi ma kou lima i ke kookoo au i hahau ai i na wai, a e hele:
YHWH said to Moses, "Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the staff in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.
6 Aia hoi, e ku no wau ilaila imua ou maluna o ka pohaku ma Horeba; a e hahau oe i ka pohaku, a e puka mai no ka wai mailoko mai o ia mea i inu ai na kanaka. Hana iho la no o Mose pela imua o na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela.
Look, 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 Kapa aku la oia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Masa, a me Meriba, no ka nuku ana o na mamo o Iseraela, a me ko lakou aa ana ia Iehova, i ae la, O Iehova anei kekahi iwaena o kakou, aole paha?
He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested YHWH, saying, "Is YHWH among us, or not?"
8 Hele mai la ka Ameleka, a kaua mai i ka Iseraela ma Repidima.
Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 Olelo ae la o Mose ia Iosua, E wae ae oe i kanaka no kakou, a e hele e kaua aku i ka Ameleka: apopo e ku wau maluna pono o ka puu, me ke kookoo o ke Akua ma ko'u lima.
Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God's staff in my hand."
10 Hana iho la o Iosua e like me ka mea a Mose i olelo mai ai ia ia, a kaua aku la i ka Ameleka: a o Mose, a me Aarona, a me Hura, pii aku la lakou maluna pono o ka puu.
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 A i ka wa a Mose i kikoo aku ai i kona lima, ikaika ka Iseraela: a i ka wa i alu mai ai kona lima, ikaika ka Ameleka.
It happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 Kaumaha iho la ko Mose mau lima; a lawe lakou i ka pohaku, a hoonoho iho la malalo iho ona, a noho iho la ia maluna; a o Aarona laua o Hura, paepae ae la laua i kona mau lima, o kekahi ma kekahi aoao, a o kela, ma kela aoao; a paa iho la kona mau lima a napoo ka la.
But Moses' hands were heavy; and 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 Hooauhee aku la o Iosua i ka Ameleka, a me kona kanaka, me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E palapala oe i keia maloko o ka buke, i mea e hoomanao ai, a e hai ma ka pepeiao o Iosua; no ka mea, e anai loa ana au i ka Ameleka mailalo ae o ka lani.
YHWH said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial on a scroll, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky."
15 Hana iho la o Mose i kuahu malaila, a kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ia mea O IEHOVA-NISI.
Moses built an altar, and called its name YHWH our Banner.
16 Ua olelo no ia, No ka lima ma ka nohoalii o Iehova, e mau loa no ke kaua ana o Iehova i ka Ameleka, mai keia hanauna a ia hanauna aku.
He said, "A hand upon the throne of JAH. YHWH will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'"
