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!
Pea naʻe fononga ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he toafa ʻo Sini, ʻi he anga ʻo honau ngaahi fononga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻonau ʻapitanga ʻi Lefitimi: pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai ke inu ʻe he kakai.
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?”
Ko ia naʻe lea fakamamahi ai ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Tuku mai ha vai kiate kimautolu ke mau inu.” Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou tautea ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahi kovi ai kia Sihova?”
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?”
Pea naʻe holi ʻae kakai ki he vai; pea lāunga ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu mo e mau fānau, mo e mau fanga manu ʻaki ʻae fie inu?”
4 Mose ɖe kuku na Yehowa be, “Nu ka mawɔ? Wole klalo be yewoaƒu kpem.”
Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā te u fai ki he kakai ni? ʻOku nau meimei tolongaki au ʻaki ʻae maka.”
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.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu atu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he kakai, pea ʻalu mo koe ʻae mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli: mo ho tokotoko ʻaia naʻa ke tā ʻaki ʻae vaitafe, toʻo ia ʻi ho nima, mo ke ʻalu.
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.
Vakai, te u tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻi ai ʻi he maka ʻi Holepi; pea te ke tā ʻae maka pea ʻe tupu mei ai ʻae vai, koeʻuhi ke inu ai ʻae kakai.” Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
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?”
Pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Masa, mo Melipa, ko e meʻa ʻi he lea fakamamahi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ʻahiʻahi kovi kia Sihova, ʻi heʻenau pehē, “ʻOku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova pe ʻikai?”
8 Azɔ la, Amalekitɔwo ho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu le Refidim.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAmaleki, ʻo tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Lefitimi.
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!”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia Siosiua, “Fili haʻatau kau tangata, pea ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻa ʻAmaleki: te u tuʻu ʻapongipongi ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga mo e tokotoko ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hoku nima.”
10 Ale Yosua kple eƒe amewo yi be yewoawɔ aʋa kple Amalekitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ le esime Mose, Aron kple Hur woyi to la dzi.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese kiate ia, ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa ʻAmaleki: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo Hua, ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese, naʻe mālohi ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ka tuku hifo hono nima, naʻe mālohi ʻa ʻAmaleki.
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.
Ka naʻe mamafa ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka ʻo tuku ia ke ne heka ai: pea naʻe poupou hake hono nima ʻe ʻElone mo Hua, ko e tokotaha ki hono toʻomataʻu, mo e taha ki hono toʻohema; pea naʻe taʻengāue hono nima ʻo aʻu ki he tō ʻae laʻā.
13 Le esia ta Yosua kple eƒe aʋakɔ la ɖu Amalekitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ dzi kple yi.
Pea naʻe ikuna ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAmaleki mo hono kakai ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
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.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tohi ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ha tohi, ko e meʻa fakamanatu, pea lau ia ʻi he telinga ʻo Siosiua: he te u fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae fakamanatu ki ʻAmaleki mei he lalo langi.”
15 Mose tu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma, eye wòna ŋkɔe be “Yehowa Nisi” si gɔmee nye “Yehowae nye nye aflaga.”
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Sihova-nisai:
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.”
He naʻa ne pehē, “Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova, ʻe tauʻi maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻAmaleki ʻi he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.”
