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!
Ungano yose yavaIsraeri yakasimuka kubva paRenje reSini, vachifamba nzvimbo nenzvimbo sokurayira kwaJehovha. Vakadzika musasa paRefidhimu, asi pakanga pasina mvura yokuti vanhu vanwe.
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?”
Saka vanhu vakakakavadzana naMozisi uye vakati, “Tipe mvura tinwe.” Mozisi akapindura akati, “Seiko muchikakavadzana neni? Seiko muchiedza Jehovha?”
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?”
Asi vanhu vakanga vane nyota yemvura ipapo, saka vakapopotedzana naMozisi. Vakati, “Seiko wakatibudisa muIjipiti kuti isu navana vedu nezvipfuwo zvedu tife nenyota?”
4 Mose ɖe kuku na Yehowa be, “Nu ka mawɔ? Wole klalo be yewoaƒu kpem.”
Ipapo Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha akati, “Ndoiteiko navanhu ava? Votoda kunditaka namabwe.”
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.
Jehovha akapindura Mozisi akati, “Famba pamberi pavanhu. Tora vamwe vavakuru vavaIsraeri uye ubate muruoko rwako tsvimbo yawakarova nayo mvura yeNairi, ugoenda.
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.
Ndichamira ipapo pamberi pako padombo riri paHorebhi. Urove dombo, uye mvura ichabuda pariri, kuti vanhu vanwe.” Saka Mozisi akaita izvi pamberi pavakuru vavaIsraeri.
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?”
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 Azɔ la, Amalekitɔwo ho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu le Refidim.
VaAmareki vakauya vakarwa navaIsraeri paRefidhimu.
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!”
Mozisi akati kuna Joshua, “Sarudza vamwe varume vokwedu ugobuda kundorwa navaAmareki. Mangwana ndichandomira pamusoro pechikomo ndine tsvimbo yaMwari mumaoko angu.”
10 Ale Yosua kple eƒe amewo yi be yewoawɔ aʋa kple Amalekitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ le esime Mose, Aron kple Hur woyi to la dzi.
Saka Joshua akarwa navaAmareki sokurayirwa kwaakaitwa naMozisi, uye Mozisi, Aroni naHuri vakakwira pamusoro pechikomo.
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.
Mozisi paainge akasimudza maoko ake, vaIsraeri vaikunda, asi paaingoderedza maoko ake, vaAmareki vaikunda.
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.
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 Le esia ta Yosua kple eƒe aʋakɔ la ɖu Amalekitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ dzi kple yi.
Saka Joshua akakunda hondo yavaAmareki nomunondo.
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.”
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 Mose tu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma, eye wòna ŋkɔe be “Yehowa Nisi” si gɔmee nye “Yehowae nye nye aflaga.”
Mozisi akavaka aritari akaitumidza kuti “Jehovha ndiye Mureza wangu.”
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.”
Akati, “Nokuti maoko akasimudzirwa kumusoro kuchigaro choushe chaJehovha. Jehovha acharwa neAmareki kubva kune chimwe chizvarwa kusvikira kune nechimwe chizvarwa.”
