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.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of Yhwh, and pitched in Rephidim: and 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?”
Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Yhwh?
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?”
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle 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 unto Yhwh, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to 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 Yhwh said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, 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 before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders 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 the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Yhwh, saying, Is Yhwh among us, or not?
8 Amalekawa suka zo, suka yaƙi Isra’ilawa a Refidim.
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
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 unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 Sai Yoshuwa ya yaƙi Amalekawa kamar yadda Musa ya umarta, Musa, Haruna da Hur kuwa suka tafi bisa tudu.
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to 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 it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
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.
But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 Sai Yoshuwa kuwa ya ci nasara a kan Amalekawa da takobi.
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with 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 Yhwh said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek 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 of it Jehovah–nissi, Yhwh Our Banner:
16 Ya ce, “Gama an ɗaga hannuwa sama zuwa kursiyin Ubangiji, Ubangiji zai yaƙi Amalekawa daga tsara zuwa tsara.”
For he said, Because Yah hath sworn that Yhwh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
