Exodus 33
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, you and your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “He lamloh namah cet lamtah nong laeh. Egypt khohmuen lamkahna 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.
2 And I will send at the same time my angel before your face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
Nang mikhmuh ah puencawn kan tueih vetih Kanaan neh Amori khaw, Khitti neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi khaw ka haek bitni.
3 And I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you by the way.
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.
4 And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
Pilnam loh ol thae hea yaak vaengah nguekcoi uh tih hlang loh a pum dongkah a cangen khaw oi uh pawh.
5 For the Lord said to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will show you what I will do to you.
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.
6 So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh a cangen te Horeb tlang aha dul uh.
7 And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without the camp.
Moses loh dap tea puen tih rhaehhmuen lamkaha lakhla la rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah amah laa tuk. Te te tingtunnah daplaa khue tih BOEIPA aka dawt boeih loh rhaehhmuen vongvoel kah tingtunnah dap tea paan.
8 And whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
Moseste dap laa caeh vaengah pilnam pum khaw thoo uh tih hlang he amah kah dap thohkaah pai uh. Te vaengah dap khuila a kun hil Moses hnuk te a paelki uh.
9 And when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to Moses.
Dap khuila Mosesa kun van neh cingmai tung ha suntla. Te vaengah dap thohkaah pai tih Moses tea voek.
10 And all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door of his tent.
Dap thohka kah aka pai cingmai tung te pilnam loh boeiha hmuh. Te dongah pilnamte boeih thoo tih hlang he amah kah dap thohka ah ni a bakop uh coeng.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
Te vaengah hlang loh a huia voek bangla BOEIPA loh Moses tea hmai, hmai ah a voek. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen la mael. Tedae anih kah tueihyoeih Nun capa cadong Joshua tah dap khui lamloh nong pawh.
12 And Moses said to the Lord, Behold! you say to me, Lead on this people; but you have not showed me whom you will send with me, but you have said to me, I know you above all, and you have favour with me.
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 khawna hmuh,’ na ti.
13 If then I have found favour in your sight, reveal yourself to me, that I may evidently see you; that I may find favour in your sight, and that I may know that this great nation [is] your people.
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.
14 And he says, I myself will go before you, and give you rest.
Tedae, “Ka mikhmuh kah he a caeh uh daengah ni nang te kan duem sak eh,” a ti nah.
15 And he says to him, If you go not up with us yourself, bring me not up hence.
Te phoeiah amah te, “Na mikhmuh kah te a caeh pawt atah he lamloh kaimih nan khuen pawt mako.
16 And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favour with you, except only if you go with us? So both I and your people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.
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.
17 And the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for you this thing, which you have spoken; for you have found grace before me, and I know you above all.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Ka mikhmuh ah mikdaithenna hmuh tih na ming neh kam ming dongah ol hena thui bangla ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
18 And [Moses] says, Manifest yourself to me.
Te vaengah, “Na thangpomnah te kai m'hmuh sak laem,” a ti nah.
19 And [God] said, I will pass by before you with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
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.
20 And [God] said, You shall not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.
Tedae, “Ka maelhmai hmuh hamna coeng moenih, hlang loh kai m'hmu mai cakhawa hing hae moenih,” a ti nah.
21 And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: you shall stand upon the rock;
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh, “Kamah taengkah hmuenah he lungpang soah khaw pai mai.
22 and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put you into a hole of the rock; and I will cover you over with my hand, until I shall have passed by.
Tedae ka thangpomnahloh a pah phai vaengah lungpang rhaep ah nang kang khueh ni. Te vaengah ka khum hil nang soah ka kut kang khuk bitni.
23 And I will remove my hand, and then shall you see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to you.
Ka kut ka khoe van neh ka namna hmuh ni. Tedae ka maelhmai tah tueng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
