Sunglatnah 33

1 BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “He lamloh namah cet lamtah nong laeh. Egypt khohmuen lamkah na khuen pilnam te khohmuen la khuen laeh. Te te Abraham taengah, Isaak taeng neh Jakob taengah ka toemngam tih, “Na tiingan taengah ka paek ni,” ka ti nah.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, 'Go, ascend from this [place], thou and the people, whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it,'

2 Nang mikhmuh ah puencawn kan tueih vetih Kanaan neh Amori khaw, Khitti neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi khaw ka haek bitni.

(and I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, )

3 Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen lam khaw na khui ah ka pongpa mahpawh. Pilnam he na rhawn mangkhak aih tih longpueng ah nang kang khap lah ve,” a ti nah.

unto a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in thy midst, for thou [art] a stiff-necked people — lest I consume thee in the way.'

4 Pilnam loh ol thae he a yaak vaengah nguekcoi uh tih hlang loh a pum dongkah a cangen khaw oi uh pawh.

And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none put his ornaments on him.

5 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Israel ca rhoek te thui pah. Nangmih he rhawn thah pilnam ni. Na khui ah mikhaptok ah vai ka pongpa vetih nang kan thup ve. Na cangen khaw na pum dong lamloh pit laeh. Na taengah mebang ka saii ham khaw ka ming ngawn,” a ti nah.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people; one moment — I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;'

6 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh a cangen te Horeb tlang ah a dul uh.

and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at mount Horeb.

7 Moses loh dap te a puen tih rhaehhmuen lamkah a lakhla la rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah amah la a tuk. Te te tingtunnah dap la a khue tih BOEIPA aka dawt boeih loh rhaehhmuen vongvoel kah tingtunnah dap te a paan.

And Moses taketh the tent, and hath stretched it out at the outside of the camp, afar off from the camp, and hath called it, 'Tent of Meeting;' and it hath come to pass, every one seeking Jehovah goeth out unto the tent of meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.

8 Moses te dap la a caeh vaengah pilnam pum khaw thoo uh tih hlang he amah kah dap thohka ah pai uh. Te vaengah dap khuila a kun hil Moses hnuk te a paelki uh.

And it hath come to pass, at the going out of Moses unto the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.

9 Dap khuila Moses a kun van neh cingmai tung ha suntla. Te vaengah dap thohka ah pai tih Moses te a voek.

And it hath come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud cometh down, and hath stood at the opening of the tent, and He hath spoken with Moses;

10 Dap thohka kah aka pai cingmai tung te pilnam loh boeih a hmuh. Te dongah pilnam te boeih thoo tih hlang he amah kah dap thohka ah ni a bakop uh coeng.

and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.

11 Te vaengah hlang loh a hui a voek bangla BOEIPA loh Moses te a hmai, hmai ah a voek. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen la mael. Tedae anih kah tueihyoeih Nun capa cadong Joshua tah dap khui lamloh nong pawh.

And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and he hath turned back unto the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth not out of the tent.

12 Te phoeiah Moses loh BOEIPA te, “Namah loh kai taengah pilnam he khuen laeh,” na ti ne. Tedae kai taengah nan tueih ham te khaw kai nan ming sak moenih. Te vaengah namah loh, 'Na ming neh kan ming tih ka mik dongkah mikdaithen khaw na hmuh,’ na ti.

And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'See, Thou art saying unto me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes.

13 Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka hmuh van coeng atah na longpuei te kai m'ming sak laeh. Namah kan ming daengah man na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen khaw ka hmuh ve. Namtom he na pilnam la hmuh mai,” a ti nah.

'And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Thy people;'

14 Tedae, “Ka mikhmuh kah he a caeh uh daengah ni nang te kan duem sak eh,” a ti nah.

and He saith, 'My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.'

15 Te phoeiah amah te, “Na mikhmuh kah te a caeh pawt atah he lamloh kaimih nan khuen pawt mako.

And he saith unto Him, 'If Thy presence is not going — take us not up from this [place];

16 Kai neh na pilnam loh na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka hmuh te me nen nim a ming eh. Kaimih taengkah na pongpa nen pawt nim kai neh na pilnam tah diklai hman kah pilnam cungkuem lamloh ka hoep uh tangloeng he,” a ti nah.

and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Thine eyes — I and Thy people — is it not in Thy going with us? and we have been distinguished — I and Thy people — from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.'

17 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Ka mikhmuh ah mikdaithen na hmuh tih na ming neh kam ming dongah ol he na thui bangla ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Even this thing which thou hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I know thee by name.'

18 Te vaengah, “Na thangpomnah te kai m'hmuh sak laem,” a ti nah.

And he saith, 'Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;'

19 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Ka thennah boeih he na mikhmuh ah ka phoe vetih na mikhmuh ah Yahweh ming he ka doek ni. Ka rhen tueng ni ka rhen vetih ka haidam tueng ni ka haidam eh?,” a ti nah.

and He saith, 'I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.'

20 Tedae, “Ka maelhmai hmuh ham na coeng moenih, hlang loh kai m'hmu mai cakhaw a hing hae moenih,” a ti nah.

He saith also, 'Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'

21 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh, “Kamah taengkah hmuen ah he lungpang soah khaw pai mai.

Jehovah also saith, 'Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,

22 Tedae ka thangpomnah loh a pah phai vaengah lungpang rhaep ah nang kang khueh ni. Te vaengah ka khum hil nang soah ka kut kang khuk bitni.

and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,

23 Ka kut ka khoe van neh ka nam na hmuh ni. Tedae ka maelhmai tah tueng mahpawh,” a ti nah.

and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.'
