Biyihii Dhagaxa Ka Yimid

17 Oo markaasaa shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ka sodcaaleen cidlada Siin la yidhaahdo, oo waxay u socdeen sidii Rabbigu ku amray, kolkaasay waxay degeen meel la yidhaahdo Refiidiim; oo dadkuna ma ay haysan biyo ay cabbaan. Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii waxay la dirireen Muuse, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War biyo aannu cabno na sii. Kolkaasaa Muuse wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Bal maxaad aniga iila diriraysaan? Oo maxaad Rabbiga u jirrabaysaan? Markaasay dadkii meeshaas biyo ugu harraadeen; kolkaasaa dadkii intay Muuse u gunuuseen ayay waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad Masar nooga soo kaxaysay? Ma inaad annaga iyo carruurtayada, iyo xoolahayaga harraad noogu disha baa? Kolkaasaa Muuse Rabbiga u qayshaday oo ku yidhi, Bal maxaan dadkan ku sameeyaa? Waayo, waxay ku dhow yihiin inay i dhagxiyaan. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Bal dadka ka hor mar, oo waxaad kaxaysataa waayeellada reer binu Israa'iil, ushaadii aad webiga ku dhufatayna gacanta ku qabso oo tag. Oo bal ogow, halkaas ayaan hortaada isku dul taagi doonaa dhagaxa weyn oo Xoreeb yaal, kolkaas waa inaad dhagaxa ushaada ku dhufataa, oo waxaa halkaas ka iman doona biyo ay dadku cabbaan. Kolkaasaa Muuse sidaas ku sameeyey waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil hortooda. Markaasuu meeshaas magaceedii wuxuu u bixiyey [a]Masaah iyo [b]Meriibaah, dirirtii ay reer binu Israa'iil dirireen aawadeed, iyo jirrabaaddii ay Rabbiga jirrabeen aawadeed, oo ay yidhaahdeen, War, Rabbigu ma na dhex joogaa mise nama dhex joogo?

Jebintii Reer Camaaleq

Markaasaa waxaa yimid reer Camaaleq, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil kula diriray Refiidiim. Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Rag inoo dooro, oo la bax, oo reer Camaaleq la dirir. Berrito waxaan istaagi doonaa buurta dusheeda, anigoo gacanta ku haysta ushii Ilaah. 10 Kolkaasaa Yashuuca yeelay sidii Muuse ku yidhi, oo wuxuu la diriray reer Camaaleq. Markaasaa Muuse iyo Haaruun iyo Xuur waxay koreen ilaa buurta dusheedii. 11 Oo markii Muuse gacanta kor u taagayba, waxaa adkaaday reer binu Israa'iil; markuu gacanta dejiyeyna, waxaa adkaaday reer Camaaleq. 12 Laakiinse Muuse gacmihiisu way cuslaayeen; kolkaasay waxay soo qaadeen dhagax, oo Muuse u saldhigeen, isna kolkaasuu ku fadhiistay; Haaruun iyo Xuurna gacmihiisii bay sare u hayeen, intuu midba dhinac ka maray, oo gacmihiisiina way xoogeeyeen ilaa ay qorraxdii dhacday. 13 Oo Yashuucana seef afkeed buu ku jebiyey reer Camaaleq iyo dadkiisiiba. 14 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Waxan buug ku qor si loo xusuusto, oo Yashuuca dhegihiisa maqashii, waayo, xusuusta reer Camaaleq lagu xusuusan jiray ayaan inta samada ka hoosaysa oo dhan ka baabbi'inayaa. 15 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu dhisay meel allabari, oo magaceedii wuxuu u bixiyey [c]Yehowah Nisii, 16 oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu waa dhaartay, oo Rabbigu wuu la dagaallami doonaa reer Camaaleq ka ab ka ab.

Water From the Rock

17 The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin,(A) traveling from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim,(B) but there was no water(C) for the people to drink. So they quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water(D) to drink.”(E)

Moses replied, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?”(F)

But the people were thirsty(G) for water there, and they grumbled(H) against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die(I) of thirst?”

Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone(J) me.”

The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff(K) with which you struck the Nile,(L) and go. I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb.(M) Strike(N) the rock, and water(O) will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the place Massah[a](P) and Meribah[b](Q) because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the Lord saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

The Amalekites Defeated

The Amalekites(R) came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.(S) Moses said to Joshua,(T) “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff(U) of God in my hands.”

10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur(V) went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning,(W) but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.(X) 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite(Y) army with the sword.

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write(Z) this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out(AA) the name of Amalek(AB) from under heaven.”

15 Moses built an altar(AC) and called(AD) it The Lord is my Banner. 16 He said, “Because hands were lifted up against[c] the throne of the Lord,[d] the Lord will be at war against the Amalekites(AE) from generation to generation.”(AF)
