17 Mbumba yonsene ya Izraeli yabuluka nʼthando ya Sini,+ mbifamba nsindzo ubodzi na ubodzi wa ulendo wawo mwakubverana na pikhaapanga Yahova,+ penepo iwo amanga nsasa wawo ku Refidhimu.+ Mbwenye kweneko nee kukhali na madzi toera mbumba imwe.
2 Natenepa, mbumba yatoma kulongezana na Mose,+ mbilonga: “Tipase madzi toera timwe.” Mbwenye Mose aapanga: “Thangwi yanji muli kulongezana na ine? Thangwi yanji musapitiriza kuyesera+ Yahova?” 3 Mbwenye mbumba ikhali na nyota kakamwe, pontho iyo ikhapitiriza kudungunyira Mose+ mbalonga: “Thangwi yanji watibulusa ku Ejitu toera utiphe na nyota, ife, anathu na pifuyo pyathu?” 4 Pakumalisa Mose alonga kuna Yahova: “Ndinacitanji na mbumba iyi? Thimize pano iwo anandiponyera miyala!”
5 Penepo Yahova apanga Mose: “Ndoko kutsogolo kwa mbumba, kwata akulu angasi a mbumba ya Izraeli na ndodo idamenya na iwe Nkulo wa Nilo.+ Kwata ndodo mʼmanja mwako, ndoko. 6 Ona! Ine ndinadzakhala patsogolo pako, pamwala wa ku Orebhi. Menya mwala, madzi anabuluka pamwala unoyu toera mbumba imwe.”+ Mose acita pyenepi pamaso pa akulu a mbumba ya Izraeli. 7 Natenepa, mbuto ineyi Mose aipasa dzina ya Masa*+ na Meribha,*+ thangwi Aizraeli alongezana na Mose, pontho thangwi iwo ayesera+ Yahova pidalonga iwo kuti: “Kodi Yahova ali pakati pathu peno nkhabe?”
8 Buluka penepo Amaleki+ abwera kudzamenyana na Izraeli ku Refidhimu.+ 9 Na thangwi ineyi Mose apanga Yoswa:+ “Sankhula amuna angasi pakati pathu, ndoko kamenyana na Amaleki. Mangwana ine ndinadzalimira pa ntsonga ya phiri mbandiphatirira ndodo ya Mulungu wandimomwene mʼmanja mwanga.” 10 Penepo Yoswa aenda kamenyana na Amaleki ninga mudapangirwa iye na Mose.+ Mbwenye Mose, Aroni na Uri+ akwira pa ntsonga ya phiri.
11 Mukhapitiriza Mose kulamusa manja ace Aizraeli akhakunda Amaleki, mbwenye pikhatereza Mose manja ace Amaleki akhakunda Aizraeli. 12 Pikhafeweserwa mikono ya Mose, Aroni na Uri akwata mwala mbauikha pantsi pace, Mose mbaukhalira. Buluka penepo iwo aphatirira mikono yace uku mʼbodzi uku mʼbodzi, natenepa mikono yace yapitiriza ndzulu mpaka kudoka kwa dzuwa. 13 Munjira ineyi, Yoswa akunda na supada mbumba yonsene ya Amaleki.+
14 Penepo Yahova apanga Mose: “Lemba pyenepi mʼbukhu toera pikhonde kuduwalika.* Panga Yoswa kuti: ‘Ine ndinadzafudza Amaleki onsene pa dziko yapantsi+ mbakhonda kukumbukirwa pontho.’” 15 Buluka penepo Mose amanga guwa mbaithula Yahova-Nisi,* 16 mbalonga: “Nakuti djanja yace ikuthimbana na mpando waumambo wa Yahova,+ Yahova anadzamenya nkhondo na Amaleki kwenda na kwenda.”+
