< Fitowa 17 >
1 Dukan taron Isra’ilawa suka kama tafiya daga Hamadar Sin, suka yi ta tafiya suna sauka a wurare dabam-dabam bisa ga umarnin Ubangiji. A ƙarshe suka sauka a Refidim, suka zauna a can, amma ba ruwan da jama’a za su sha.
Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Saboda haka suka yi wa Musa maganganun banza suka ce, “Ba mu ruwa mu sha.” Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Don me kuke mini maganganun banza? Don me kuke gwada Ubangiji?”
And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you tempt the Lord?
3 Amma mutanen suka yi fama da ƙishirwa a can, suka yi gunaguni a kan Musa. Suka ce, “Don me ka fitar da mu daga Masar, ka sa mu da’ya’yanmu da dabbobinmu, mu mutu da ƙishirwa?”
So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst?
4 Sai Musa ya yi kuka ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Me zan yi da wannan jama’a? Suna shiri su jajjefe ni da duwatsu.”
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me.
5 Ubangiji amsa wa Musa, “Ka ɗauki sandan da ka bugi ruwan Nilu da shi. Ka kira waɗansu shugabannin Isra’ila, ku wuce a gaban jama’ar.
And the Lord said to Moses: God before the people, and take with thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith thou didst strike the river, and go.
6 Zan tsaya a can a gabanka, kusa da dutsen Horeb. Ka bugi dutsen, ruwa kuwa zai fito daga gare shi domin mutane su sha.” Sai Musa ya yi haka a idon dattawan Isra’ila.
Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb: and thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel:
7 Sai suka ba wa wurin suna, Massa da Meriba, saboda Isra’ilawa sun yi jayayya, suka kuma gwada Ubangiji cewa, “Ubangiji yana tsakaninmu ko babu?”
And he called the name of that place Temptation, because the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not?
8 Amalekawa suka zo, suka yaƙi Isra’ilawa a Refidim.
And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
9 Musa ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Zaɓi waɗansu mazanmu, ka je ka yaƙi Amalekawa. Gobe zan tsaya a bisa tudu, da sandan Allah a hannuwana.”
And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men: and go out and fight against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill having the rod of God in my hand.
10 Sai Yoshuwa ya yaƙi Amalekawa kamar yadda Musa ya umarta, Musa, Haruna da Hur kuwa suka tafi bisa tudu.
Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur went up upon the top of the hill.
11 Muddin hannun Musa yana a miƙe, sai Isra’ilawa su yi ta cin nasara, amma da zarar hannunsa ya sauka, sai Amalekawa su yi ta cin nasara.
And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame: but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.
12 Sa’ad da hannuwan Musa suka gaji, sai Haruna da Hur suka ɗauki dutse suka sa ya zauna a kai. Sa’an nan su kuma suka tsaya gefe da gefe, suna riƙe da hannuwansa har fāɗuwar rana.
And Moses’ hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass that his hands were not weary until sunset.
13 Sai Yoshuwa kuwa ya ci nasara a kan Amalekawa da takobi.
And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.
14 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Ka rubuta wannan a cikin littafi, yă zama abin tuni, ka kuma faɗa wa Yoshuwa zan hallaka Amalekawa ƙaƙaf daga duniya.”
And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Josue: for I will destroy the memory of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Musa ya gina bagade, sai ya kira shi Ubangiji shi ne Tutata.
And Moses built an altar: and called the name thereof, The Lord my exaltation, saying:
16 Ya ce, “Gama an ɗaga hannuwa sama zuwa kursiyin Ubangiji, Ubangiji zai yaƙi Amalekawa daga tsara zuwa tsara.”
Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
