Exodus 17
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and encamped in Rephidim: and [there was] 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 Wherefore the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why chide you with me? why do ye tempt the LORD?
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 thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why [is] this [that] thou hast brought us out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle 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 cried to the LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? they are almost ready to stone 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 the LORD said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel: and thy rod, with which thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go.
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 will stand before thee there on the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders 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 called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, 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 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Ndị Amalek bịara lụso ụmụ Izrel agha na Refidim.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with 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 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went up to the top of the hill.
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 came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Ndị Izrel na-enwe mmeri mgbe ọbụla Mosis weliri aka ya elu, ma ndị Amalek na-emeri mgbe ọbụla Mosis wedatara aka ya.
12 But Moses's hands [were] heavy; and they took a stone, and put [it] under him, and he sat upon it: and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down 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 discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Nʼihi nke a, Joshua na ndị agha ya meriri ndị agha Amalek site nʼiji mma agha gbuo ha.
14 And the LORD said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in a book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
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 built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAH-nissi:
Mosis wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ kpọrọ ya Onyenwe anyị Nisi, nke pụtara, Onyenwe anyị bụ ọkọlọtọ m.
16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn [that] the LORD [will have] war 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.”
