Exodus 17
1 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.
परमप्रभुको निर्देशन मानी इस्राएलीहरूको सारा समुदाय सीनको उजाड-स्थानबाट यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरूले रपीदीममा छाउनी हाले, तर त्यहाँ मानिसहरूलाई पिउन पानी थिएन ।
2 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?”
त्यसैले मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूको अवस्थाको निम्ति मोशालाई दोष लगाए र भने, “हामीलाई पिउन पानी दिनुहोस् ।” मोशाले भने, “तिमीहरू किन मसित झगडा गर्छौ? तिमीहरू किन परमप्रभुको जाँच गर्छौ?”
3 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?”
मानिसहरू तिर्खाएका थिए । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले मोशाको विरुद्धमा गनगन गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “तपाईंले हामीलाई मिश्रबाट किन निकालेर ल्याउनुभएको? हामी, हाम्रा छोराछोरी र हाम्रा गाईवस्तुलाई तिर्खाले मार्नलाई?”
4 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
तब मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे, “यी मानिसहरूलाई मैले के गर्ने? तिनीहरू मलाई ढुङ्गा हान्न झण्डै तयार छन् ।”
5 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.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसहरूभन्दा अगाडि जा, र इस्राएलका केही धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई पनि आफूसँगै लैजा । तैँले नदीमा प्रहार गरेको लट्ठी पनि सँगै लिएर जा ।
6 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.
म होरेब पर्वतमा चट्टानमा तेरो सामु खडा हुनेछु, र तैँले चट्टानलाई हिर्का । मानिसहरूलाई पिउन चट्टानबाट पानी निस्केर आउनेछ ।” तब मोशाले इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूको दृष्टिमा त्यसै गरे ।
7 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?”
इस्राएलीहरूको गनगन र “परमप्रभु हाम्रा बिचमा हुनुहुन्छ कि हुनुहुन्न?” भनी तिनीहरूले प्रभुको जाँच गरेकाले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ मस्साह र मेरीबा राखे ।
8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
तब रपीदीममा अमालेक जातिका सेना आएर इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गरे ।
9 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.”
त्यसैले मोशाले यहोशूलाई भने, “केही मानिसहरू छानेर जाऊ र अमालेकीहरूसित युद्ध गर । भोलि म परमेश्वरको लट्ठी मेरो हातमा लिएर पर्वतको टुप्पोमा उभिनेछु ।”
10 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.
त्यसैले मोशाको आज्ञामुताबिक यहोशू अमालेकीहरूको विरुद्धमा लडे जब कि मोशा, हारून र हूरचाहिँ पर्वतको टुप्पोमा उक्ले ।
11 When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
मोशाले आफ्ना हात माथि उठाउँदा इस्राएलले जित्थो भने तिनले आफ्ना हात तल झार्दा अमालेकीहरूले जित्न थाल्थे ।
12 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.
मोशाका हात थाक्दा हारून र हूरले एउटा ढुङ्गा ल्याएर तीमुनि राखिदिन्थे । त्यसै बेला हारून एकापट्टि र हूर अर्कोपट्टि बसेर तिनका हात माथि उठाउँथे । सूर्यास्त नहोउञ्जेलसम्म मोशाका हात थामिए ।
13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
अनि यहोशूले अमालेकीहरूलाई तरवारले पराजित गरे ।
14 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.”
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “यो कुरा एउटा पुस्तकमा लेख् र त्यो यहोशूलाई बताइदे किनकि म अमालेकीहरूको स्मृति आकाशमुनिबाट पूर्ण रूपमा नामेट पारिदिनेछु ।”
15 Moses built an altar, and called its name “The LORD our Banner”.
तब मोशाले त्यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाए र त्यसको नाउँ “परमप्रभु मेरो झण्डा हुनुहुन्छ” राखे ।
16 He said, “The LORD has sworn: ‘The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”
तिनले भने, “पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म परमप्रभु नै अमालेकीहरूसित लड्नुभएको होस् भनेर उहाँको सिंहासनतिर हात उचालिएको थियो ।”
