¹[Ny nimonomononan'ny Zanak'Isiraely noho ny tsi-fisian-drano, sy ny nanomezan'Andriamanitra azy rano avy tamin'ny vatolampy] Ary nifindra ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, ka niala tao an-efitra Sina, araka izay natoron'i Jehovah hitobiany, dia nitoby tao Refidima; ary tsy nisy rano hosotroin'ny olona.

¹All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to Yahweh’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

²Dia nila ady tamin'i Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Omeo rano izahay mba hosotroinay. Fa hoy Mosesy taminy: Nahoana no mila ady amiko ianareo? Nahoana no maka fanahy an'i Jehovah ianareo?

²Therefore 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 Yahweh?”

³Ary nangetaheta teo ny olona, dia nimonomonona tamin'i Mosesy izy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana ianao no nitondra anay niakatra niala tany Egypta hahafatin-ketaheta anay sy ny zanakay ary ny bibinay?

³The 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?”

⁴Ary Mosesy nitaraina tamin'i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hataoko amin'ireto olona ireto? fa mila hitora-bato ahy izy.

⁴Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

⁵Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Mandrosoa eo alohan'ny olona, ary itondray hiaraka aminao ny loholon'ny Isiraely; ary ny tehinao, ilay nikapohanao an'i Neily, dia ento eny an-tananao, ka mandehana.

⁵Yahweh 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.

⁶Ary, indro, hijanona eo anatrehanao eo ambonin'ny harambato any Horeba Aho, dia hikapoka ny harambato ianao, ka hisy rano hivoaka avy aminy hosotroin'ny olona. Dia nanao izany Mosesy teo imason'ny loholon'ny Isiraely.

⁶Behold, 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.

⁷Ary ny anaran'izany tany izany dia natao­ny hoe Masa sy Meriba, noho ny ady nataon'ny Zanak'Isiraely, sy noho ny nakany fanahy an'i Jehovah hoe: Eto aminay va Jehovah, sa tsia?

⁷He called the name of the place Massah, Massah means testing. and Meribah, Meribah means quarreling. because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?”

⁸Ary tonga ny Amalekita ka niady tamin'ny Isiraely tao Refidima.

⁸Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

⁹Dia hoy Mosesy tamin'i Josoa: Mifidiana lehilahy ho antsika, dia mandehana ka miadia amin'ny Amalekita; rahampitso dia hijoro eo an-tampon'ny havoana aho ka hitana ny tehin'Andriamanitra etỳ an-tanako.

⁹Moses 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 rod in my hand.”

¹⁰Ary Josoa dia nanao araka izay efa nolazain'i Mosesy taminy, ka niady tamin'ny Amalekita izy; ary Mosesy sy Arona sy Hora kosa niakatra ho ao an-tampon'ny havoana.

¹⁰So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

¹¹Ary raha nasandratr'i Mosesy ny tànany, dia nahery ny Isiraely; fa raha nampidininy ny tànany, dia nahery kosa ny Amalekita.

¹¹It happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

¹²Fa efa vizana ny tanan'i Mosesy; ka dia naka vato izy roa lahy, ka nataony teo ambanin'i Mosesy hipetrahany; ary Arona sy Hora dia nanohana ny tànany, ka ny iray tamin'ny anila, ary ny iray kosa tamin'ny anila; dia naharitra tsy nidina intsony ny tànany mandra-pahafatin'ny masoandro.

¹²But 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.

¹³Ary Josoa dia nandresy ny Amalekita sy ny olony tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra.

¹³Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Soraty eo amin'ny boky izany ho fahatsiarovana, ka ambarao amin'i Josoa; fa hofoanako tokoa ny fahatsiarovana ny Amalekita tsy ho eny ambanin'ny lanitra.

¹⁴Yahweh 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.”

¹⁵Dia nanorina alitara Mosesy ka nanao ny anarany hoe: Jehovah Nisi.Fa hoy izy: Jehovah nianiana hoe: Ny adin'i Jehovah amin'ny Amalekita dia tsy hitsahatra hatramin'izay taranany fara mandimby.

¹⁵Moses built an altar, and called its name Yahweh our Banner. Hebrew, Yahweh Nissi

¹⁶Fa hoy izy: Jehovah nianiana hoe: Ny adin'i Jehovah amin'ny Amalekita dia tsy hitsahatra hatramin'izay taranany fara mandimby.

¹⁶He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”
