Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel journey from the wilderness of Sin, on their journeys, by the command of YHWH, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is no water for the people to drink;
Ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile sitere nʼọzara Sin bilie ije ha, na-aga site nʼotu ebe ruo nʼebe ọzọ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu. Ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Refidim, ma ọ dịghị mmiri dị nke ndị mmadụ ga-aṅụ.
2 and the people strive with Moses, and say, “Give us water, and we drink.” And Moses says to them, “Why do you strive with me? Why do you try YHWH?”
Nʼihi nke a, ha sesịrị Mosis okwu, sị, “Nye anyị mmiri ka anyị ṅụọ.” Mosis zara, sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji esesị m okwu? Gịnị mere unu ji chọọ ịnwapụta ntachiobi Onyenwe anyị?”
3 And the people thirst for water there, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, “Why [is] this [that] you have brought us up out of Egypt to put us to death, also our sons and our livestock, with thirst?”
Ma akpịrị mmiri kpọrọ ndị a nkụ nʼebe ahụ, nke a mere ka ha tamuo ntamu megide Mosis. Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụkwa nʼihi gịnị ka i ji site nʼobodo Ijipt kpọpụta anyị, ime ka anyị, ụmụntakịrị anyị na anụ ụlọ anyị nwụọ nʼihi akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ?”
4 And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “What do I do to this people? Yet a little, and they have stoned me.”
Nʼihi ya, Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa sị, “Gịnị ka m ga-eme banyere ndị a. Lee, ha chọrọ itugbu m na nkume.”
5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Pass over before the people, and take with you from [the] elderly of Israel, and take your rod in your hand, with which you have struck the River, and you have gone.
Ma Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis, sị ya, “Gaa nʼihu ndị a, kpọrọ ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye Izrel. Jirikwa mkpanaka ahụ nʼaka gị, bụ nke i tiri nʼelu osimiri Naịl gaa.
6 Behold, I am standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you have struck on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.” And Moses does so before the eyes of [the] elderly of Israel,
Lee, Aga m eguzo nʼihu gị nʼakụkụ nkume dị na Horeb. Ị ga-akụ mkpara gị nʼelu nkume ahụ. Mmiri ga-asọpụtakwa site na ya, ka ndị mmadụ ṅụọ.” Ya mere, Mosis mere otu a nʼihu ndị okenye Izrel niile.
7 and he calls the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the strife of the sons of Israel, and because of their trying YHWH, saying, “Is YHWH in our midst or not?”
Nʼihi nke a, ọ kpọrọ aha ebe ahụ Masa na Meriba nʼihi esemokwu ụmụ Izrel na nʼihi nwale ha nwalere Onyenwe anyị, na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị ọ nọnyeere anyị, ka ọ bụ na ọ nọnyereghị anyị?”
8 And Amalek comes, and fights with Israel in Rephidim,
Ndị Amalek bịara lụso ụmụ Izrel agha na Refidim.
9 and Moses says to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.”
Mosis gwara Joshua okwu sị ya, “Họpụta ụfọdụ ndị ikom ka ha gaa lụso ndị Amalek agha. Echi, mụ onwe m ga-eguzoro nʼelu ugwu, jidekwa mkpara Chineke nʼaka m.”
10 And Joshua does as Moses has said to him, to fight with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur have gone up [to] the top of the height;
Ya mere, Joshua pụrụ gaa lụso ndị Amalek agha dịka Mosis gwara ya. Ma Mosis na Erọn na Hua, rigoro nʼelu ugwu ahụ.
11 and it has come to pass, when Moses lifts up his hand, that Israel has been mighty, and when he lets his hands rest, that Amalek has been mighty.
Ndị Izrel na-enwe mmeri mgbe ọbụla Mosis weliri aka ya elu, ma ndị Amalek na-emeri mgbe ọbụla Mosis wedatara aka ya.
12 And the hands of Moses [are] heavy, and they take a stone and set [it] under him, and he sits on it, and Aaron and Hur have taken hold on his hands, one on this [side] and one on that [side]; and his hands are steadfast until the going in of the sun;
Mgbe ike gwụrụ aka Mosis, ha butere nkume tinye nʼokpuru ya mee ka ọ nọkwasị nʼelu ya. Erọn na Hua jidere aka Mosis abụọ welie ya elu, otu onye nʼakụkụ a, onye nke ọzọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Ime ka aka Mosis guzosie ike tutu ruo mgbe anwụ dara.
13 and Joshua weakens Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword.
Nʼihi nke a, Joshua na ndị agha ya meriri ndị agha Amalek site nʼiji mma agha gbuo ha.
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “Write this, a memorial in a Scroll, and set [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens”;
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Dee ihe niile ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ncheta. Gụgharịakwa ya na ntị Joshua. Nʼihi na aga m ehichapụ ihe niile a ga-eji cheta Amalek nʼelu ụwa.”
15 and Moses builds an altar, and calls its name YHWH-Nissi,
Mosis wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ kpọrọ ya Onyenwe anyị Nisi, nke pụtara, Onyenwe anyị bụ ọkọlọtọ m.
16 and says, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war [is] to YHWH with Amalek from generation [to] generation.”
Mosis sịrị, “Nʼihi na-eweliri aka elu nʼebe ocheeze Onyenwe anyị dị. Onyenwe anyị ga na-ebuso ndị Amalek agha site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.”
