Mose 2 17
1 Azɔ la, le Yehowa ƒe gbeɖeɖe nu la, Israelviwo dzo le Sin gbegbe la. Wonɔ tɔtɔm ɖe teƒeteƒewo va se ɖe esime woɖo Refidim. Ke esi woɖo afi ma la, tsi aɖeke menɔ anyi o!
And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in Raphidin: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Esia ta Israelviwo he nya ɖe Mose ŋu be, “Na tsi mi!” Mose blu ɖe wo ta be, “Mizi ɖoɖoe! Ɖe miele didim be yewoado Yehowa ƒe dzigbɔɖi na mi akpɔa?”
And the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and Moses said to them, Why do you revile me, and why tempt you the Lord?
3 Ke le tsikɔwuame la ƒe sesẽ ta la, dukɔ la lĩ Mose ŋu gblɔ be, “Nu ka tututue na nèkplɔ mí dzoe le Egipte? Nu ka ta nèkplɔ mí va afi sia be míaku kple mía viwo kple míaƒe lãwo?”
And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? have you brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 Mose ɖe kuku na Yehowa be, “Nu ka mawɔ? Wole klalo be yewoaƒu kpem.”
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little while and they will stone me.
5 Yehowa ɖo eŋu na Mose be, “Dze ŋgɔ na dukɔ la, kplɔ Israel ƒe ametsitsi aɖewo ɖe asi. Tsɔ atikplɔ si netsɔ ƒo Nil tɔsisi la ɖe asi, eye nàyi.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go before this people, and take to yourself of the elders of the people; and the rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and you shall go.
6 Mado go wò le agakpe la gbɔ le Horeb. Ƒo agakpe la kple wò atikplɔ si nètsɔ ƒo Nil tɔsisi lae. Tsi ado bababa, asu na ame sia ame.” Mose wɔ abe ale si Mawu gblɔ nɛ ene le Israel ƒe ametsitsiawo ƒe ŋkume.
Behold, I stand there before you [come], on the rock in Choreb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.
7 Mose na ŋkɔ teƒe la be Masa si gɔmee nye “Míete Yehowa kpɔ be wòawu mí.” Woyɔnɛ hã be Meriba si gɔmee nye “Nyahehe” kple “Dzrewɔwɔ,” elabena afi mae Israelviwo he nya ɖe Yehowa ŋu le, eye wotee kpɔ be wòawu yewo esi wogblɔ be, “Ɖe Yehowa le mía dzi kpɔ ge loo alo agblẽ mí ɖia?”
And he called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord amongst us or not?
8 Azɔ la, Amalekitɔwo ho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu le Refidim.
And Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
9 Mose gblɔ na Yosua be wòana Israelviwo nadzra ɖo, akpe aʋa kple Amalekitɔwo. Mose gblɔ nɛ be, “Etsɔ la, matsi tsitre ɖe togbɛ la dzi. Mawu ƒe atikplɔ anɔ asinye!”
And Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for yourself mighty men, and go forth and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I [shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] in my hand.
10 Ale Yosua kple eƒe amewo yi be yewoawɔ aʋa kple Amalekitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ le esime Mose, Aron kple Hur woyi to la dzi.
And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or went up to the top of the hill.
11 Ne Mose kɔ atikplɔ la ɖe dzi ko la, Israelviwo ɖua futɔwo dzi. Ke ne eɖiɖi abɔ be yeadzudzɔ sẽe ko la, Amalekitɔwo ɖua Israelviwo dzi.
And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalec prevailed.
12 Abɔwo va ku ɖe Mose ŋu ale gbegbe be, magate ŋu alé atikplɔ la ɖe dzi azɔ o. Ale Aron kple Hur womli kpe aɖe vɛ, eye Mose nɔ edzi. Ame ɖeka nɔ Mose ƒe miame, eye evelia nɔ eƒe ɖusime. Wolé Mose ƒe abɔwo do ɖe dzi va se ɖe esime ɣe ɖo to.
But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.
13 Le esia ta Yosua kple eƒe aʋakɔ la ɖu Amalekitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ dzi kple yi.
And Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of the sword.
14 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Ŋlɔe da ɖi, wòanɔ anyi ɖaa, woaɖo ŋku edzi tegbetegbe, eye nàɖe gbeƒã na Yosua be matutu Amalekitɔwo ƒe ŋkɔ ɖa keŋkeŋ.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak [this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Mose tu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma, eye wòna ŋkɔe be “Yehowa Nisi” si gɔmee nye “Yehowae nye nye aflaga.”
And Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord my Refuge.
16 Mose gblɔ be, “Elabena wodo aflaga ɖe dzi le Yehowa ƒe fiazi la ŋgɔ, Yehowa anɔ aʋa wɔm kple Amalekitɔwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.”
For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
