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 journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeyings, by the order of the Lord; and they encamped in Rephidim, 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 quarrelled with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink; and Moses said unto them, Why will ye quarrel with me? why will ye tempt 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 the people murmured against Moses, and said, For what purpose is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill me and my children and my 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 unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? but little is wanting 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 unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel; and thy staff, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and 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 will be standing before thee there upon the rock at Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come out from it water, and the people shall drink; and Moses did so before the eyes of the elders 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 the place Massah and Meribah; because of the quarrelling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is then the Lord among us, or not?
8 Ndị Amalek bịara lụso ụmụ Izrel agha na Refidim.
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
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 unto Joshua, Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God 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 had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Chur 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 held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, that Amalek 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 when the hands of Moses became heavy, they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Chur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until 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 discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge 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 unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
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, and called its name Adonay Nissy [[The Lord is my Banner]].
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.”
And he said, Because the Lord hath sworn on his throne, that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
