Pea naʻe fononga ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he toafa ʻo Sini, ʻi he anga ʻo honau ngaahi fononga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻonau ʻapitanga ʻi Lefitimi: pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai ke inu ʻe he kakai.
2 Saka vanhu vakakakavadzana naMozisi uye vakati, “Tipe mvura tinwe.” Mozisi akapindura akati, “Seiko muchikakavadzana neni? Seiko muchiedza Jehovha?”
Ko ia naʻe lea fakamamahi ai ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Tuku mai ha vai kiate kimautolu ke mau inu.” Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou tautea ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahi kovi ai kia Sihova?”
3 Asi vanhu vakanga vane nyota yemvura ipapo, saka vakapopotedzana naMozisi. Vakati, “Seiko wakatibudisa muIjipiti kuti isu navana vedu nezvipfuwo zvedu tife nenyota?”
Pea naʻe holi ʻae kakai ki he vai; pea lāunga ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu mo e mau fānau, mo e mau fanga manu ʻaki ʻae fie inu?”
4 Ipapo Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha akati, “Ndoiteiko navanhu ava? Votoda kunditaka namabwe.”
Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā te u fai ki he kakai ni? ʻOku nau meimei tolongaki au ʻaki ʻae maka.”
5 Jehovha akapindura Mozisi akati, “Famba pamberi pavanhu. Tora vamwe vavakuru vavaIsraeri uye ubate muruoko rwako tsvimbo yawakarova nayo mvura yeNairi, ugoenda.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu atu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he kakai, pea ʻalu mo koe ʻae mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli: mo ho tokotoko ʻaia naʻa ke tā ʻaki ʻae vaitafe, toʻo ia ʻi ho nima, mo ke ʻalu.
6 Ndichamira ipapo pamberi pako padombo riri paHorebhi. Urove dombo, uye mvura ichabuda pariri, kuti vanhu vanwe.” Saka Mozisi akaita izvi pamberi pavakuru vavaIsraeri.
Vakai, te u tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻi ai ʻi he maka ʻi Holepi; pea te ke tā ʻae maka pea ʻe tupu mei ai ʻae vai, koeʻuhi ke inu ai ʻae kakai.” Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
7 Uye akatumidza nzvimbo iyi kuti Masa neMeribha nokuti vaIsraeri vakakavadzana naye uye nokuti vakaedza Jehovha vachiti, “Ko, Jehovha ari pakati pedu here kana kuti kwete?”
Pea ne ui hono hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Masa, mo Melipa, ko e meʻa ʻi he lea fakamamahi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ʻahiʻahi kovi kia Sihova, ʻi heʻenau pehē, “ʻOku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova pe ʻikai?”
8 VaAmareki vakauya vakarwa navaIsraeri paRefidhimu.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAmaleki, ʻo tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Lefitimi.
9 Mozisi akati kuna Joshua, “Sarudza vamwe varume vokwedu ugobuda kundorwa navaAmareki. Mangwana ndichandomira pamusoro pechikomo ndine tsvimbo yaMwari mumaoko angu.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia Siosiua, “Fili haʻatau kau tangata, pea ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻa ʻAmaleki: te u tuʻu ʻapongipongi ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga mo e tokotoko ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hoku nima.”
10 Saka Joshua akarwa navaAmareki sokurayirwa kwaakaitwa naMozisi, uye Mozisi, Aroni naHuri vakakwira pamusoro pechikomo.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese kiate ia, ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa ʻAmaleki: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo Hua, ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga.
11 Mozisi paainge akasimudza maoko ake, vaIsraeri vaikunda, asi paaingoderedza maoko ake, vaAmareki vaikunda.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese, naʻe mālohi ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ka tuku hifo hono nima, naʻe mālohi ʻa ʻAmaleki.
12 Maoko aMozisi akati aneta, vakatora dombo ndokuriisa pasi pake iye akagara pamusoro paro. Aroni naHuri vakabata maoko ake vakamutsigira, mumwe kuno rumwe rutivi, mumwe kuno rumwe rutivi, kuitira kuti maoko ake arambe akatsiga kusvikira madekwana.
Ka naʻe mamafa ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka ʻo tuku ia ke ne heka ai: pea naʻe poupou hake hono nima ʻe ʻElone mo Hua, ko e tokotaha ki hono toʻomataʻu, mo e taha ki hono toʻohema; pea naʻe taʻengāue hono nima ʻo aʻu ki he tō ʻae laʻā.
13 Saka Joshua akakunda hondo yavaAmareki nomunondo.
Pea naʻe ikuna ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAmaleki mo hono kakai ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
14 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Nyora izvi mubhuku chive chinhu chicharangarirwa uye uve nechokwadi kuti Joshua azvinzwa, nokuti ndichabvisa chirangaridzo chose cheAmareki pasi pedenga.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tohi ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ha tohi, ko e meʻa fakamanatu, pea lau ia ʻi he telinga ʻo Siosiua: he te u fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae fakamanatu ki ʻAmaleki mei he lalo langi.”
15 Mozisi akavaka aritari akaitumidza kuti “Jehovha ndiye Mureza wangu.”
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Sihova-nisai:
16 Akati, “Nokuti maoko akasimudzirwa kumusoro kuchigaro choushe chaJehovha. Jehovha acharwa neAmareki kubva kune chimwe chizvarwa kusvikira kune nechimwe chizvarwa.”
He naʻa ne pehē, “Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova, ʻe tauʻi maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻAmaleki ʻi he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.”
