Exodus 17
1 Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
Ungano yose yavaIsraeri yakasimuka kubva paRenje reSini, vachifamba nzvimbo nenzvimbo sokurayira kwaJehovha. Vakadzika musasa paRefidhimu, asi pakanga pasina mvura yokuti vanhu vanwe.
2 And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you tempt the Lord?
Saka vanhu vakakakavadzana naMozisi uye vakati, “Tipe mvura tinwe.” Mozisi akapindura akati, “Seiko muchikakavadzana neni? Seiko muchiedza Jehovha?”
3 So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst?
Asi vanhu vakanga vane nyota yemvura ipapo, saka vakapopotedzana naMozisi. Vakati, “Seiko wakatibudisa muIjipiti kuti isu navana vedu nezvipfuwo zvedu tife nenyota?”
4 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me.
Ipapo Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha akati, “Ndoiteiko navanhu ava? Votoda kunditaka namabwe.”
5 And the Lord said to Moses: God before the people, and take with thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith thou didst strike the river, and go.
Jehovha akapindura Mozisi akati, “Famba pamberi pavanhu. Tora vamwe vavakuru vavaIsraeri uye ubate muruoko rwako tsvimbo yawakarova nayo mvura yeNairi, ugoenda.
6 Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb: and thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel:
Ndichamira ipapo pamberi pako padombo riri paHorebhi. Urove dombo, uye mvura ichabuda pariri, kuti vanhu vanwe.” Saka Mozisi akaita izvi pamberi pavakuru vavaIsraeri.
7 And he called the name of that place Temptation, because the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not?
Uye akatumidza nzvimbo iyi kuti Masa neMeribha nokuti vaIsraeri vakakavadzana naye uye nokuti vakaedza Jehovha vachiti, “Ko, Jehovha ari pakati pedu here kana kuti kwete?”
8 And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
VaAmareki vakauya vakarwa navaIsraeri paRefidhimu.
9 And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men: and go out and fight against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill having the rod of God in my hand.
Mozisi akati kuna Joshua, “Sarudza vamwe varume vokwedu ugobuda kundorwa navaAmareki. Mangwana ndichandomira pamusoro pechikomo ndine tsvimbo yaMwari mumaoko angu.”
10 Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur went up upon the top of the hill.
Saka Joshua akarwa navaAmareki sokurayirwa kwaakaitwa naMozisi, uye Mozisi, Aroni naHuri vakakwira pamusoro pechikomo.
11 And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.
Mozisi paainge akasimudza maoko ake, vaIsraeri vaikunda, asi paaingoderedza maoko ake, vaAmareki vaikunda.
12 And Moses’ hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass that his hands were not weary until sunset.
Maoko aMozisi akati aneta, vakatora dombo ndokuriisa pasi pake iye akagara pamusoro paro. Aroni naHuri vakabata maoko ake vakamutsigira, mumwe kuno rumwe rutivi, mumwe kuno rumwe rutivi, kuitira kuti maoko ake arambe akatsiga kusvikira madekwana.
13 And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.
Saka Joshua akakunda hondo yavaAmareki nomunondo.
14 And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Josue: for I will destroy the memory of Amalec from under heaven.
Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Nyora izvi mubhuku chive chinhu chicharangarirwa uye uve nechokwadi kuti Joshua azvinzwa, nokuti ndichabvisa chirangaridzo chose cheAmareki pasi pedenga.”
15 And Moses built an altar: and called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying:
Mozisi akavaka aritari akaitumidza kuti “Jehovha ndiye Mureza wangu.”
16 Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
Akati, “Nokuti maoko akasimudzirwa kumusoro kuchigaro choushe chaJehovha. Jehovha acharwa neAmareki kubva kune chimwe chizvarwa kusvikira kune nechimwe chizvarwa.”
