Ọpụpụ 17
1 Ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile sitere nʼọzara Sin bilie ije ha, na-aga site nʼotu ebe ruo nʼebe ọzọ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu. Ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Refidim, ma ọ dịghị mmiri dị nke ndị mmadụ ga-aṅụ.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in Raphidin: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Nʼihi nke a, ha sesịrị Mosis okwu, sị, “Nye anyị mmiri ka anyị ṅụọ.” Mosis zara, sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji esesị m okwu? Gịnị mere unu ji chọọ ịnwapụta ntachiobi Onyenwe anyị?”
And the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and Moses said to them, Why do you revile me, and why tempt you the Lord?
3 Ma akpịrị mmiri kpọrọ ndị a nkụ nʼebe ahụ, nke a mere ka ha tamuo ntamu megide Mosis. Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụkwa nʼihi gịnị ka i ji site nʼobodo Ijipt kpọpụta anyị, ime ka anyị, ụmụntakịrị anyị na anụ ụlọ anyị nwụọ nʼihi akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ?”
And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? have you brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 Nʼihi ya, Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa sị, “Gịnị ka m ga-eme banyere ndị a. Lee, ha chọrọ itugbu m na nkume.”
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a little while and they will stone me.
5 Ma Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis, sị ya, “Gaa nʼihu ndị a, kpọrọ ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye Izrel. Jirikwa mkpanaka ahụ nʼaka gị, bụ nke i tiri nʼelu osimiri Naịl gaa.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go before this people, and take to yourself of the elders of the people; and the rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and you shall go.
6 Lee, Aga m eguzo nʼihu gị nʼakụkụ nkume dị na Horeb. Ị ga-akụ mkpara gị nʼelu nkume ahụ. Mmiri ga-asọpụtakwa site na ya, ka ndị mmadụ ṅụọ.” Ya mere, Mosis mere otu a nʼihu ndị okenye Izrel niile.
Behold, I stand there before you [come], on the rock in Choreb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.
7 Nʼihi nke a, ọ kpọrọ aha ebe ahụ Masa na Meriba nʼihi esemokwu ụmụ Izrel na nʼihi nwale ha nwalere Onyenwe anyị, na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị ọ nọnyeere anyị, ka ọ bụ na ọ nọnyereghị anyị?”
And he called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not?
8 Ndị Amalek bịara lụso ụmụ Izrel agha na Refidim.
And Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
9 Mosis gwara Joshua okwu sị ya, “Họpụta ụfọdụ ndị ikom ka ha gaa lụso ndị Amalek agha. Echi, mụ onwe m ga-eguzoro nʼelu ugwu, jidekwa mkpara Chineke nʼaka m.”
And Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for yourself mighty men, and go forth and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I [shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] in my hand.
10 Ya mere, Joshua pụrụ gaa lụso ndị Amalek agha dịka Mosis gwara ya. Ma Mosis na Erọn na Hua, rigoro nʼelu ugwu ahụ.
And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or went up to the top of the hill.
11 Ndị Izrel na-enwe mmeri mgbe ọbụla Mosis weliri aka ya elu, ma ndị Amalek na-emeri mgbe ọbụla Mosis wedatara aka ya.
And it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands, Amalec prevailed.
12 Mgbe ike gwụrụ aka Mosis, ha butere nkume tinye nʼokpuru ya mee ka ọ nọkwasị nʼelu ya. Erọn na Hua jidere aka Mosis abụọ welie ya elu, otu onye nʼakụkụ a, onye nke ọzọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Ime ka aka Mosis guzosie ike tutu ruo mgbe anwụ dara.
But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.
13 Nʼihi nke a, Joshua na ndị agha ya meriri ndị agha Amalek site nʼiji mma agha gbuo ha.
And Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of the sword.
14 Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Dee ihe niile ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ncheta. Gụgharịakwa ya na ntị Joshua. Nʼihi na aga m ehichapụ ihe niile a ga-eji cheta Amalek nʼelu ụwa.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak [this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalec from under heaven.
15 Mosis wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ kpọrọ ya Onyenwe anyị Nisi, nke pụtara, Onyenwe anyị bụ ọkọlọtọ m.
And Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord my Refuge.
16 Mosis sịrị, “Nʼihi na-eweliri aka elu nʼebe ocheeze Onyenwe anyị dị. Onyenwe anyị ga na-ebuso ndị Amalek agha site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.”
For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
