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 spoke unto Moses: 'Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying: Unto thy 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 thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, 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.”

unto a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people; lest I consume thee in the way.'

4 Kane oganda owinjo weche manyoso chunygo negichako ywak maonge ngʼama nolichore gi gimoro amora e dende.

And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned; and no man did put on him 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 unto Moses: 'Say unto the children of Israel: Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee; therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.'

6 Kuom mano jo-Israel nogolo oko gik mane gilichogo dendgi ka gin e tiend Got Horeb.

And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.

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 Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one that sought the LORD went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp.

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 it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into 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 it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent; and the LORD spoke 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 when all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door.

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 spoke unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he would return into the camp; but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of 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 unto the LORD: 'See, Thou sayest unto me: Bring up this people; and Thou hast not let me know whom Thou wilt send with me. Yet Thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in My sight.

13 Ka imor koda to puonja yoreni mondo angʼeyi kendo mondo asik ka amori. Par ni ogandani gin jogi.”

Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, show me now Thy ways, that I may know Thee, to the end that I may find grace in Thy sight; and consider that this nation is Thy people.'

14 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “An awuon abiro dhi kodi kendo kwe mara nobed kodi.”

And He said: 'My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.'

15 Eka Musa nowacho niya, “Ka in iwuon ok idhi kodwa, to kik igolwa ka.

And he said unto Him: 'If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

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 wherein now shall it be known that I have found grace in Thy sight, I and Thy people? is it not in that Thou goest with us, so that we are distinguished, I and Thy people, from all the people that are upon 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 unto Moses: 'I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken, for thou hast found grace in My sight, and I know thee by name.'

18 Eka Musa nowachone niya, “Koro nyisa duongʼni.”

And he said: 'Show me, I pray Thee, Thy 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 My goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.'

20 Nowacho bende niya “Ok inyal neno wangʼa, nimar onge ngʼama nyalo nena mi dok mangima.”

And He said: 'Thou canst not see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.'

21 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Nitie wi lwanda moro buta ka ma inyalo chungʼie.

And the LORD said: 'Behold, there is a place by Me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock.

22 Ka duongʼna kadho to abiro pandi e rogo mar lwanda kendo abiro umi gi lweta nyaka chop akadhi.

And it shall come to pass, while My glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with My hand until I have passed by.

23 Eka abiro golo lweta kuomi mi inine mana ngʼeya, to wangʼa to ok nine.”

And I will take away My hand, and thou shalt see My back; but My face shall not be seen.'
