Guzoga 17:1-16
17 Enya Isalele agasue akatugile mu mavu a luselenga a Sine, akhalele muya nu gumagana mu mafundo agudisha gifua luholo Yehowa wakhalele guawambela. Gungima ahagele phundo yawo gu Refidime, uvi fundo diene diakhalelego nu meya hagula athu ajiya gunua.
2 Enya Isalele asendesele gumanesa Moize, amuwambelele egi: “Tuhane meya a gunua!” Uvi Moize waawambelele egi: “Mukunda natshi mudi gungumanesa? Mukunda natshi mushigo mushila Yehowa mutshima?”
3 Uvi athu akhalele nu luhungu* luakola, asendesele guwambela Moize ndaga jiabola egi: “Mukunda natshi watuzodi gu Ejipitu? Watuzodi nu an’etu nu shitu jietu hagula tuze tufue nu luhungu?”
4 Gungima Moize wawambelele Yehowa egi: “Ngutshita itshi nu athu awa? Gualeha ndo adi gungusonona maseso!”
5 Yehowa wawambelele Moize egi: “Zula akulu ako a enya Isalele, balega nawo gutuama dia athu. Zangula nji muhango waye wabetele nawo Muta wa Nile, nda.
6 Mbangumagana gutuama diaye ha seso gu Horebe. Udi naye gubeta seso diene, gungima meya mbaazoga muene, athu mbaanua.” Moize watshitshile ngenyi ha meso a akulu a enya Isalele.
7 Hene wahanele fundo diene jina egi Masa* nu Meriba,* handaga enya Isalele amumanesele nu atunyile gushila Yehowa mutshima tangua azuelele egi: “Yehowa udi mukatshi dietu nga ndo?”
8 Gungima enya Amaleke ajile muluisa enya Isalele gu Refidime.
9 Moize wawambelele Yoshua egi: “Tomba mala, ndenu muluise enya Amaleke. Hamene ame mbangumagana ha songi ya mulundu nu muhango wa Nzambi wa giamatshidia ha mago.”
10 Yoshua wakalegele gifua luholo luamuwambelele Moize, waluishile enya Amaleke. Moize nu Alona nu Hule akandugile ha songi ya mulundu.
11 Tangua mago a Moize akhalele agutuphula gosa, enya Isalele akhalele mubalega enya Amaleke ngolo; uvi gula washigula mago enji, enya Amaleke akhalele guabalega ngolo.
12 Tangua mago a Moize aholele, Alona nu Hule azudile seso, ayihagele hashi, Moize wakhalele hene. Gungima atuphuile mago a Moize yowu khanda, yowu khanda; ngenyi mago enji asalele agumagana uu nu hashiwugile tangua.
13 Yoshua wabingile enya Amaleke nu phogo ya khusa.
14 Yehowa wawambelele Moize egi: “Sonega ndaga eyi mu mukanda hagula athu ayibuitshigo mutshima: ‘Mbangushiya diago enya Amaleke hagula jina diawo ditote ha mavu.’ Wambela nji Yoshua ndaga yene.”
15 Gungima Moize watungile giwotshielo, wagihanele jina egi Yehowa-Nisi.*
16 Wazuelele egi: “Luholo enya Amaleke adi muluisa nguasa ya ufumu ya Yah, Yehowa mbawaluisa mu indongo yawo yagasue.”
