9 Eka Musa nonyiso Joshua niya, “Yier jomoko kuom jowa mondo idhi iked gi jo-Amalek. Kiny anachungʼ ewi got gi ludh Nyasaye e lweta.”
UMozisi wasesithi kuJoshuwa: Sikhethele amadoda, uphume uyekulwa loAmaleki; kusasa ngizakuma engqongeni yoqaqa, lentonga kaNkulunkulu izakuba sesandleni sami.
10 Kuom mano Joshua nokedo gi jo-Amalek mana kaka Musa nochiko, kendo Musa gi Harun kod Hur nodhi ewi got.

11 E kinde duto mane Musa osiko kotingʼo bedene malo, to jo-Israel ne loyo, to kane Musa odwoko bedene piny, to jo-Amalek ema ne loyo.
Kwasekusithi lapho uMozisi ephakamisa isandla sakhe, uIsrayeli waba lamandla; kodwa lapho wehlisa isandla sakhe, uAmaleki waba lamandla.
12 Ka bede Musa nojony, to negikawo kidi mi giketone mondo obedie. Harun gi Hur ne ojuko bedene kotingʼo malo, ka ngʼato achiel omako bade konchiel, to machielo omako komachielo, omiyo bedene nosiko kochungʼ tir nyaka podho chiengʼ.
Kodwa izandla zikaMozisi zaba nzima, ngakho bathatha ilitshe, balibeka ngaphansi kwakhe, ukuthi ahlale kulo. OAroni loHuri basebesekela izandla zakhe, omunye engapha lomunye engale, ukuze izandla zakhe ziqine lize litshone ilanga.

INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Bhala lokhu egwalweni kube yisikhumbuzo, ukubeke ezindlebeni zikaJoshuwa ukuthi ngokwesula ngizakwesula ukukhunjulwa kukaAmaleki ngaphansi kwamazulu.
15 Musa nogero kendo mar misango mochake ni “Jehova Nyasaye en banderana.”
UMozisi wasesakha ilathi, wabiza ibizo lalo ngokuthi: UJehova-nisi;
16 Nowacho kama, “Nimar bede notingʼ malo e nyim kom duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye. Kendo Jehova Nyasaye noked gi jo-Amalek e tienge duto.”
