Eksodo 17
1 Gulu lonse la Aisraeli linachoka ku chipululu cha Sini, ndi kumayenda malo ndi malo monga momwe anawalamulira Yehova. Iwo anamanga misasa yawo ku Refidimu koma kunalibe madzi woti anthu onse ndi kumwa.
Awurade hyɛe maa Israelfo no fii Sin sare no so kokɔɔ nkurow nkurow so, koduu Refidim. Woduu hɔ no, na nsu a wɔbɛnom biara nni hɔ.
2 Kotero iwo anakangana ndi Mose nati, “Tipatse madzi akumwa.” Mose anayankha kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mukukangana ndi ine? Chifukwa chiyani mukumuyesa Yehova?”
Ɛha nso nnipa no nwiinwii bio tiaa Mose sɛ, “Ma yɛn nsu nnom!” Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monyɛ dinn! Adɛn nti na mo ne me regye akyinnye? Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mosɔ Awurade hwɛ?”
3 Koma anthu anali ndi ludzu pamenepo ndipo anangʼungʼudza pamaso pa Mose namufunsa kuti, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani unatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto kuti ife, ana athu pamodzi ndi ziweto zathu tife ndi ludzu?”
Na osukɔm a ɛde wɔn no nti, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Adɛn nti na wuyii yɛn fii Misraim? Adɛn nti na wode yɛn baa ha? Yɛn, yɛn mma ne yɛn anantwi nyinaa bewuwu!”
4 Ndipo Mose anapemphera kwa Yehova, “Kodi ndichite chiyani ndi anthu awa? Iwo atsala pangʼono kundigenda ndi miyala.”
Mose su frɛɛ Awurade se, “Dɛn na menyɛ saa nkurɔfo yi? Wɔpɛ sɛ wosiw me abo.”
5 Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pita patsogolo pa anthuwo. Tenga ndodo imene unamenyera nyanja ya Nailo pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ena a Israeli ndi kunyamuka.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Fa Israelfo mpanyimfo no bi ka wo ho na fa pema a wode bɔɔ Nil mu no na di wɔn anim fa wɔn kɔ.
6 Ine ndidzayima patsogolo pako pafupi ndi thanthwe la ku Horebu. Ukamenye thanthwelo, madzi adzatuluka kuti anthu amwe.” Motero Mose anachita zimenezi pamaso pa akuluakulu a Israeli.
Mehyia wo wɔ ɔbotan a ɛwɔ bepɔw Horeb ho. Sɛ wudu hɔ a, fa wo pema no bɔ ɔbotan no mu sɛnea wode bɔɔ Nil mu no na nsu befi mu aba ama obiara anya bi anom amee.” Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade kae no wɔ Israel mpanyimfo no anim maa nsu tue fii ɔbotan no mu.
7 Ndipo iye anatcha malowo Masa ndi Meriba chifukwa Aisraeli anakangana ndi kuyesa Yehova ponena kuti, “Kodi pakati pathu pali Yehova kapena palibe?”
Enti Mose too beae hɔ din Masa a ase ne Sɔhwɛbea ne Meriba a ase ne Akyinnyegyebea, efisɛ ɛhɔ na Israelfo ne Mose gyee akyinnye, sɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛe, bisae se, “Awurade ka yɛn ho anaa ɔnka yɛn ho?”
8 Amaleki anabwera ku Refidimu kudzamenyana ndi Aisraeli.
Afei, akofo a wofi Amalek bɛtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so wɔ Refidim ne wɔn koe.
9 Mose anati kwa Yoswa, “Sankha amuna amphamvu ndipo upite ukamenyane ndi Amaleki. Mawa ndidzayima pamwamba pa phiri nditagwira ndodo ya Mulungu.”
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Yi asraafo ma yɛn na yɛne Amalekfo no nkɔko. Ɔkyena megyina bepɔw no apampam a mikura Onyankopɔn pema no.”
10 Ndipo Yoswa anachitadi monga Mose anamulamulira. Iye anapita kukamenyana ndi Aamaleki ndipo Mose, Aaroni ndi Huri anapita pamwamba pa phiri.
Enti Yosua ne ne dɔm kɔtoaa Amalekfo asraafo no ne wɔn koe sɛnea na Mose ahyɛ no, na Mose ne Aaron ne Hur foro kɔɔ bepɔw no apampam pɛɛ.
11 Mose ankati akakweza manja ake, Aisraeli amapambana, koma akatsitsa manja akewo Amaleki amapambana.
Mmere dodow a Mose kura pema no mu kyerɛ soro na Israelfo no redi nkonim na sɛ ɔbrɛ pema no ase a, na Amalekfo no nso redi Israelfo no so.
12 Manja a Mose atatopa, Aaroni ndi Huri anatenga mwala ndi kuyika pansi ndipo Mose anakhalapo. Aaroni ndi Huri anagwirizitsa manja a Mose wina mbali ina winanso mbali ina. Choncho manja a Mose analimba mpaka kulowa kwa dzuwa.
Mose brɛ a na ontumi mma pema no so bio enti Aaron ne Hur pirew ɔbo bi too hɔ ma ɔtenaa so. Wogyinagyinaa Mose benkum ne nifa memaa ne nsa abien no so kosii sɛ owia kɔtɔe.
13 Kotero Yoswa anagonjetsa asilikali ankhondo a Amaleki ndi lupanga.
Ɛbaa saa no, Yosua ne ne dɔm dii Amalekfo no so, kunkum wɔn wɔ afoa ano.
14 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Lemba izi mʼbuku kuti zidzakumbukirike ndipo uwonetsetse kuti Yoswa amve zimenezi, chifukwa Ine ndidzafafaniziratu Amaleki pa dziko lapansi, kotero kuti palibe amene adzawakumbukire.”
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Kyerɛw eyi ma ɛnna hɔ afebɔɔ ma wɔnkae daa na ka kyerɛ Yosua se, mɛtɔre Amalekfo nyinaa ase wɔ ɔsoro ase.”
15 Mose anamanga guwa lansembe ndipo analitcha Yehova Chipambano Changa (Yehova Nisi).
Mose sii afɔremuka hɔ na ɔtoo no din Awurade Nissi a ase ne Awurade ne me frankaa.
16 Ndipo anati, “Kwezani mbendera ya Yehova. Yehova adzachitabe nkhondo ndi mibado yonse ya Aamaleki.”
Mose kae se, “Efisɛ wɔama wɔn nsa so atia Awurade ahengua nti, Awurade ne Amalekfo bedi ako afi awo ntoatoaso so akosi awo ntoatoaso so.”
