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.
Afei, Awurade hyɛeɛ maa Israelfoɔ no firii Sin ɛserɛ no so kokɔɔ nkuro nkuro so, kɔduruu Refidim. Wɔduruu hɔ no, na nsuo 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 nsuo nnom!” Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monyɛ dinn! Adɛn enti na mo ne me regye akyinnyeɛ? Adɛn enti 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 ade wɔn no enti, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woyii yɛn firii Misraim? Adɛn enti na wode yɛn baa ha? Yɛn, yɛn mma ne yɛn anantwie nyinaa bɛwuwu!”
4 Nake Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ngwĩka atĩa na andũ aya? Marĩ hakuhĩ kũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto.”
Mose su frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ saa nkurɔfoɔ yi? Wɔpɛ sɛ wɔsi me aboɔ.”
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 sɛ, “Fa Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ no bi ka wo ho na fa poma 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.
Mɛhyia wo wɔ ɔbotan a ɛwɔ bepɔ Horeb ho. Sɛ woduru hɔ a, fa wo poma no bɔ ɔbotan no mu sɛdeɛ wode bɔɔ Nil mu no na nsuo bɛfiri mu aba ama obiara anya bi anom amee.” Mose yɛɛ deɛ Awurade kaeɛ no wɔ Israel mpanimfoɔ no anim maa nsuo tue firii 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 beaeɛ hɔ edin Masa a aseɛ ne Sɔhwɛbea ne Meriba a aseɛ ne Akyinnyegyebea ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na Israelfoɔ ne Mose gyee akyinnyeɛ, sɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛeɛ, bisaa sɛ, “Awurade bɛhwɛ yɛn so anaasɛ ɔrenhwɛ yɛn so?”
8 Andũ a Amaleki nĩmookire makĩhithũkĩra andũ a Isiraeli kũu Refidimu.
Afei, akofoɔ a wɔfiri Amalek bɛto hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no so wɔ Refidim ne wɔn koeɛ.
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 sɛ, “Yi asraafoɔ ma yɛn na yɛne Amalekfoɔ nkɔko. Ɔkyena mɛgyina bepɔ no apampam a Onyankopɔn poma no kura me.”
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 Amalekfoɔ akodɔm no ne wɔn koeɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no ara, Mose ne Aaron ne Hur foro kɔɔ bepɔ 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.
Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Mose kura poma no mu kyerɛ soro na Israelfoɔ no redi nkonim na sɛ ɔbrɛ poma no ase a, na Amalekfoɔ no nso redi Israelfoɔ 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 brɛeɛ a na ɔntumi mma poma no so bio enti Aaron ne Hur piree ɛboɔ bi too hɔ ma ɔtenaa so. Wɔgyinagyinaa Mose benkum ne nifa memaa ne nsa mmienu no so kɔsii sɛ owia kɔtɔeɛ.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩhoota mbũtũ cia andũ a Amaleki na rũhiũ rwa njora.
Ɛbaa saa no, Yosua ne ne dɔm dii Amalekfoɔ no so, kunkumm wɔn wɔ akofena 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 sɛ, “Twerɛ yei ma ɛnna hɔ afebɔɔ ma wɔnkae daa na ka kyerɛ Yosua sɛ, mɛtɔre Amalekfoɔ nyinaa ase.”
15 Musa agĩaka kĩgongona na agĩgĩĩta atĩrĩ “Jehova Nĩwe Bendera yakwa.”
Mose sii afɔrebukyia hɔ na ɔtoo no edin Awurade Nissi a aseɛ ne Awurade ne mʼakofrankaa.
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 kaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ wɔapagya wɔn nsa akyerɛ Awurade ahennwa enti, Awurade ne Amalekfoɔ bɛdi ako afiri awo ntoatoasoɔ so akɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.”
