Wuok 33
1 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wuoguru ka in kaachiel gi jok mane igolo e piny Misri kendo dhiuru e piny mane asingo ka akwongʼora ne Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo kawachonegi ni, ‘Anamiye nyikwau.’
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 Abiro oro Malaika mondo otel e nyimu kendo obiro riembo jo-Kanaan gi jo-Amor gi jo-Hiti gi jo-Perizi gi jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus.
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 Dhiuru e piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich. To ok anadhi kodu nikech un oganda ma tokgi tek kendo dipo ka atiekou e wangʼ yo.”
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 Kane oganda owinjo weche manyoso chunygo negichako ywak maonge ngʼama nolichore gi gimoro amora e dende.
Hearing this bad news the people were full of grief, and no one put on his ornaments.
5 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho ni Musa niya, “Nyis jo-Israel kama, ‘Un oganda ma tokgi tek. Ka anyalo dhi kodu kata matin, to anyalo tiekou. Koro goluru oko gik mulichogo dendu eka anane gima anyalo timo kodu.’”
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 Kuom mano jo-Israel nogolo oko gik mane gilichogo dendgi ka gin e tiend Got Horeb.
So the children of Israel took off their ornaments at Mount Horeb, and did not put them on again.
7 Koro Musa nohero kawo Hema kendo gure oko mar Kambi mochwalore matin koluonge ni “Hemb Romo.” Ngʼato angʼata mane dwaro penjo Jehova Nyasaye wach ne dhi e Hemb Romo oko mar kambi.
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 Kinde moro amora mane Musa odhi oko e Hema to ji duto ne wuok kendo chungʼ e dhoutgi mag hema ka gingʼiyo Musa nyaka chop odonji.
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 Kane Musa dhi e Hema to bor polo ne lor piny kendo siko e dhoot ka Jehova Nyasaye wuoyo gi Musa.
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 Kinde mane oganda oneno bor polono kochungʼ e dho Hema gin bende negichungʼ mi gilam ka ngʼato ka ngʼato nitie e dho Hembe.
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 Jehova Nyasaye ne wuoyo gi Musa wangʼ gi wangʼ mana ka ngʼato ma wuoyo gi osiepne. Bangʼ mano Musa noduogo e kambi, to Joshua wuod Nun, ma en wuowi mane konye nodongʼ mana e Hema.
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 Musa nowacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Isebedo ka iwachona ni, ‘Telne jogi,’ to pok imiya ngʼeyo ngʼatno ma ibiro oro koda. Isewacho niya, ‘Angʼeyi gi nyingi kendo amor kodi.’
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 Ka imor koda to puonja yoreni mondo angʼeyi kendo mondo asik ka amori. Par ni ogandani gin jogi.”
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 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “An awuon abiro dhi kodi kendo kwe mara nobed kodi.”
And he said, I myself will go with you and give you rest.
15 Eka Musa nowacho niya, “Ka in iwuon ok idhi kodwa, to kik igolwa ka.
And Moses said, If you yourself are not going with us, do not send us on from here.
16 Ere kaka ngʼato dingʼe ni imor koda kaachiel gi jogigi makmana ka idhi kodwa? Koso en angʼo ma dipoga gi jogigi kod ogendini mamoko mantie e piny?”
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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Abiro timo mana gino ma isekwayo nimar amor kodi kendo angʼeyi gi nyingi.”
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 Eka Musa nowachone niya, “Koro nyisa duongʼni.”
And Moses said, O Lord, let me see your glory.
19 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Abiro miyo duongʼna duto kadho e nyimi kendo abiro hulo nyinga ma en Jehova Nyasaye e nyimi. Anakech ngʼama adwaro kecho kendo anangʼwon-ne ngʼama adwaro ngʼwonone.”
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 Nowacho bende niya “Ok inyal neno wangʼa, nimar onge ngʼama nyalo nena mi dok mangima.”
But it is not possible for you to see my face, for no man may see me and still go on living.
21 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Nitie wi lwanda moro buta ka ma inyalo chungʼie.
And the Lord said, See, there is a place near me, and you may take your place on the rock:
22 Ka duongʼna kadho to abiro pandi e rogo mar lwanda kendo abiro umi gi lweta nyaka chop akadhi.
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 Eka abiro golo lweta kuomi mi inine mana ngʼeya, to wangʼa to ok nine.”
Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back: but my face is not to be seen.
