Tâconae 33

1 Hottelah BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh, hi hoi tâcawt awh nateh, Abraham, Isak hoi Jakop koevah, na catounnaw hanelah na poe han telah thoebo laihoi lawk ka kam e ram dawk, nang hoi Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai e naw hoi cet takhang awh.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward from this place, you and the people whom you have taken up out of the land of Egypt, to that land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed will I give it.

2 Nangmae hmalah kalvantami ka patoun vaiteh, Kanaan taminaw, Amor taminaw, Hit taminaw, Periznaw, Hivnaw hoi Jubusitnaw hah ka pâlei han.

And I will send an angel before you, driving out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite:

3 Khoitui hoi maitosanutui a lawngnae ram dawk cet takhang awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmouh koe ka cet takhang van mahoeh. A lung ka patak poung e lah na o awh dawkvah, lamlak vah koung na pathup payon han doeh telah ati.

Go up to that land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, for fear that I send destruction on you while you are on the way.

4 Hottelah tamimaya ni hete kamthang kathout a thai awh toteh, a ka awh teh apihai kamthoup ngai awh hoeh.

Hearing this bad news the people were full of grief, and no one put on his ornaments.

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe Isarel catounnaw koe vah, a lung ka patak poung e miphun lah na o awh, nangmouh koe dongdeng ka o nakunghai, koung na pathup awh han. Hatdawkvah nangmouh koe ka sak hane ka panue thai nahanelah, na kamthoupnae pueng hah koung rading awh telah a dei toe.

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: if I come among you, even for a minute, I will send destruction on you; so take off all your ornaments, so that I may see what to do with you.

6 Hatdawkvah Isarelnaw ni a kamthoupnae hah Horeb mon vah a kârading awh.

So the children of Israel took off their ornaments at Mount Horeb, and did not put them on again.

7 Mosi ni Lukkareiim hah a ceikhai teh, roenae lawilah betbet ahlanae koe ouk a yap. Hot hah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim ati awh. Hahoi BAWIPA tawng ka ngai e pueng teh, roenae lawilah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawkvah ouk a cei awh.

Now it was Moses' way to put up the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle, at some distance away; giving it the name of The Tent of meeting. And everyone desiring to make his prayer to the Lord went to the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle.

8 Hahoi, Mosi teh lukkareiim pâtam hoi a cei lahun nah, tamimaya a thaw awh teh amamae rim takhang koe a kangdue awh teh, Mosi lukkareiim thung a kâen totouh a khet awh.

And whenever Moses went out to the Tent of meeting, all the people got up and everyone went to the door of his tent, looking after Moses till he went inside the Tent.

9 Hahoi Mosi teh lukkareiim dawk a kâen tahma vah, tâmaikhom a kum teh lukkareiim takhang koe a kangdue teh BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato.

And whenever Moses went into the Tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and took its place by the door of the Tent, as long as the Lord was talking with Moses.

10 Hahoi tamimaya ni lukkareiim takhang koe tâmaikhom a kangdue e hah a hmu awh. Hat toteh, tamimaya teh a thaw awh teh, amamae rim takhang koehoi lengkaleng a bawk awh.

And all the people saw the cloud at the door of the Tent, and they went down on their faces, everyone at the door of his tent.

11 Tami ni a hui a pato e patetlah, BAWIPA ni Mosi hah minhmai kâhmo laihoi a pato teh, roenae hmuen koe lah a ban. A san Nun capa thoundoun Joshua hateh lukkareiim cettakhai boihoeh.

And the Lord had talk with Moses face to face, as a man may have talk with his friend. And when Moses came back to the tents, his servant, the young man Joshua, the son of Nun, did not come away from the Tent.

12 Mosi ni BAWIPA koevah, khenhaw! nang ni kai koevah hetnaw heh luenkhai loe ati. Hatei apimaw kai koe na patoun han tie teh na panuek sak hoeh rah. Hatei, nang ni na min lahoi na panue teh, ka mit dawk minhmai kahawi ka hmu, na ti pouh.

And Moses said to the Lord, See, you say to me, Be this people's guide on their journey, but you have not made clear to me whom you will send with me. But you have said, I have knowledge of you by name, and you have grace in my eyes.

13 Hatdawkvah, na mit dawk minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, ka panue nahan hoi na mithmu vah pahrennae ka hmu thai nahanlah lamthung na panuek sak haw, telah ka kâhei. Hete miphun heh na tamimaya doeh tie hah pouk, telah ati.

If then I have grace in your eyes, let me see your ways, so that I may have knowledge of you and be certain of your grace; and my prayer is that you will keep in mind that this nation is your people.

14 Ahni ni, nangmouh koe ka o vaiteh, kâhatnae na poe awh han atipouh.

And he said, I myself will go with you and give you rest.

15 Ahni ni, kai koevah na cet hoehpawiteh, hete hmuen koehoi na tâcawt sak hanh.

And Moses said, If you yourself are not going with us, do not send us on from here.

16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh koe na cet laipalah kai hoi na taminaw teh na mithmu vah lungmanae ka hmu awh tie hah, bangtelamaw ka panue awh han. Hottelah talai van kaawm e taminaw pueng koehoi kai hoi na taminaw teh ka pek e lah ka o awh han, atipouh.

For is not the fact of your going with us the sign that I and this people have grace in your eyes, so that we, that is, I and your people, are separate from all other people on the face of the earth?

17 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, hot hai na dei e patetlah ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka mit dawk na kuep teh na min lahoi na panue telah atipouh.

And the Lord said to Moses, I will do as you say: for you have grace in my eyes, and I have knowledge of you by your name.

18 Ahni ni na bawilennae teh pahren lahoi na hmawt sak haw atipouh.

And Moses said, O Lord, let me see your glory.

19 Ahni ni, ka hawinae pueng heh na hmalah ka kamnue sak vaiteh, Jehovah min hah na hmalah ka pâpho han. Pahren han ka ngai e hah ka pahren vaiteh, ka lungma han ka ngai e pueng hah ka lungma han, atipouh.

And he said, I will make all the light of my being come before you, and will make clear to you what I am; I will be kind to those to whom I will be kind, and have mercy on those on whom I will have mercy.

20 Hatei ahni ni, ka minhmai teh na hmawt thai mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh na ka hmawt e tami hring boihoeh, ati.

But it is not possible for you to see my face, for no man may see me and still go on living.

21 BAWIPA ni khenhaw! ka teng vah hmuen buet touh ao, lungsong van na kangdue han.

And the Lord said, See, there is a place near me, and you may take your place on the rock:

22 Hahoi, ka bawilennae ni na ceihlawi navah, kâbawng e lungsong thungvah na ta han, na ceitakhai hoehroukrak ka kut hoi na tabuem han.

And when my glory goes by, I will put you in a hole in the rock, covering you with my hand till I have gone past:

23 Hahoi ka kut hah bout ka la vaiteh ka hnukthun hah na hmu han, hatei, ka minhmai teh na hmawt mahoeh, atipouh.

Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back: but my face is not to be seen.
