1 Mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli ũkiumagara kuuma Werũ wa Sini, ũkoimaga handũ hamwe ũgathiĩ harĩa hangĩ o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanaga. Makĩamba hema ciao Refidimu, no gũtiarĩ maaĩ ma kũnyuuo nĩ andũ acio.
Awurade hyɛe maa Israelfo no fii Sin sare no so kokɔɔ nkurow nkurow so, koduu Refidim. Woduu hɔ no, na nsu a wɔbɛnom biara nni hɔ.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makĩnegenia Musa, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũhe maaĩ ma kũnyua.” Nake Musa akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũranegenia nĩkĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũgerie Jehova?”
Ɛha nso nnipa no nwiinwii bio tiaa Mose sɛ, “Ma yɛn nsu nnom!” Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monyɛ dinn! Adɛn nti na mo ne me regye akyinnye? Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mosɔ Awurade hwɛ?”
3 No andũ nĩmanyootire marĩ kũu, nao magĩtetia Musa makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Watũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩkĩ, tũũke ũtũũrage na nyoota ithuĩ na ciana ciitũ na ũhiũ witũ?”
Na osukɔm a ɛde wɔn no nti, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Adɛn nti na wuyii yɛn fii Misraim? Adɛn nti na wode yɛn baa ha? Yɛn, yɛn mma ne yɛn anantwi nyinaa bewuwu!”
4 Nake Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ngwĩka atĩa na andũ aya? Marĩ hakuhĩ kũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto.”
Mose su frɛɛ Awurade se, “Dɛn na menyɛ saa nkurɔfo yi? Wɔpɛ sɛ wosiw me abo.”
5 Jehova agĩcookeria Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ mbere ya andũ aya. Thiĩi na athuuri amwe a Isiraeli na ũkuue rũthanju rũrĩa wagũthire Nili naruo.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Fa Israelfo mpanyimfo no bi ka wo ho na fa pema a wode bɔɔ Nil mu no na di wɔn anim fa wɔn kɔ.
6 Niĩ ngũrũgama hau mbere yaku, o hau hakuhĩ na rwaro rwa ihiga kũu Horebu. Gũtha ihiga, na maaĩ nĩmekuuma thĩinĩ warĩo nĩguo andũ manyue.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩĩka ũguo athuuri a Isiraeli makĩonaga.
Mehyia wo wɔ ɔbotan a ɛwɔ bepɔw Horeb ho. Sɛ wudu hɔ a, fa wo pema no bɔ ɔbotan no mu sɛnea wode bɔɔ Nil mu no na nsu befi mu aba ama obiara anya bi anom amee.” Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade kae no wɔ Israel mpanyimfo no anim maa nsu tue fii ɔbotan no mu.
7 Nake agĩĩta handũ hau Masa na Meriba, tondũ nĩho andũ a Isiraeli maanegenirie na makĩgeria Jehova, makĩũragia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ Jehova arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ kana aca?”
Enti Mose too beae hɔ din Masa a ase ne Sɔhwɛbea ne Meriba a ase ne Akyinnyegyebea, efisɛ ɛhɔ na Israelfo ne Mose gyee akyinnye, sɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛe, bisae se, “Awurade ka yɛn ho anaa ɔnka yɛn ho?”
8 Andũ a Amaleki nĩmookire makĩhithũkĩra andũ a Isiraeli kũu Refidimu.
Afei, akofo a wofi Amalek bɛtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so wɔ Refidim ne wɔn koe.
9 Musa akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Thuura andũ amwe aitũ mumagare mũkahũũrane na andũ a Amaleki. Rũciũ ngaarũgama kĩrĩma igũrũ nyiitĩte rũthanju rwa Ngai na guoko.”
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Yi asraafo ma yɛn na yɛne Amalekfo no nkɔko. Ɔkyena megyina bepɔw no apampam a mikura Onyankopɔn pema no.”
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩhũũrana na andũ a Amaleki o ta ũrĩa Musa aathanĩte; nake Musa, na Harũni na Huri makĩhaica kĩrĩma-inĩ.
Enti Yosua ne ne dɔm kɔtoaa Amalekfo asraafo no ne wɔn koe sɛnea na Mose ahyɛ no, na Mose ne Aaron ne Hur foro kɔɔ bepɔw no apampam pɛɛ.
11 Rĩrĩa rĩothe Musa akoragwo oete moko make na igũrũ-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makahootana, no rĩrĩa agũithia moko make, andũ a Amaleki makahootana.
Mmere dodow a Mose kura pema no mu kyerɛ soro na Israelfo no redi nkonim na sɛ ɔbrɛ pema no ase a, na Amalekfo no nso redi Israelfo no so.
12 Rĩrĩa Musa aanogire moko-rĩ, makĩoya ihiga makĩiga thĩ akĩrĩikarĩra. Harũni na Huri magĩkĩnyiitĩrĩra moko make, o ũmwe akanyiitĩrĩra guoko kũmwe, na ũcio ũngĩ kũu kũngĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio moko ma Musa magĩikara mambarairio nginya riũa rĩgĩthũa.
Mose brɛ a na ontumi mma pema no so bio enti Aaron ne Hur pirew ɔbo bi too hɔ ma ɔtenaa so. Wogyinagyinaa Mose benkum ne nifa memaa ne nsa abien no so kosii sɛ owia kɔtɔe.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩhoota mbũtũ cia andũ a Amaleki na rũhiũ rwa njora.
Ɛbaa saa no, Yosua ne ne dɔm dii Amalekfo no so, kunkum wɔn wɔ afoa ano.
14 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ũndũ ũyũ ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo ũrĩ ũndũ wa gũtũũra ũririkanagwo na ũreke Joshua aũigue, tondũ nĩngeheria rĩĩtwa rĩa Amaleki biũ nao matigacooka kũririkanwo gũkũ thĩ.”
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Kyerɛw eyi ma ɛnna hɔ afebɔɔ ma wɔnkae daa na ka kyerɛ Yosua se, mɛtɔre Amalekfo nyinaa ase wɔ ɔsoro ase.”
15 Musa agĩaka kĩgongona na agĩgĩĩta atĩrĩ “Jehova Nĩwe Bendera yakwa.”
Mose sii afɔremuka hɔ na ɔtoo no din Awurade Nissi a ase ne Awurade ne me frankaa.
16 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩgũkorwo moko nĩmambararirio na igũrũ kwerekera gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Jehova. Jehova arĩhũũranaga na andũ a Amaleki kuuma njiarwa na njiarwa.”
Mose kae se, “Efisɛ wɔama wɔn nsa so atia Awurade ahengua nti, Awurade ne Amalekfo bedi ako afi awo ntoatoaso so akosi awo ntoatoaso so.”
