Exodus 33
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go forth, ascend from this place, you and your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To your offspring, I will give it.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Duru ndị a i si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta baa nʼala ahụ m kwere Ebraham, na Aịzik na Jekọb na nkwa, nʼihi na agwara m ha sị, ‘Aga m enye ụmụ ụmụ unu ala a, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.’
2 And I will send an Angel to precede you, so that I may cast out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
Aga m ezipu Mmụọ ozi m ka ọ gaa nʼihu unu chụpụrụ unu ndị Kenan, na ndị Amọrait, na ndị Het, na ndị Periz, na ndị Hiv, na ndị Jebus.
3 and so that you may enter into a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, since you are a stiff-necked people, lest perhaps I may destroy you on the way.”
Gbago nʼala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, ma agaghị m eso unu nʼije unu, nʼihi na unu bụ ndị isiike. Ọ bụrụ na m esoro unu, unu ga-anwa m ọnwụnwa, nke ga-eme ka m laa unu nʼiyi nʼụzọ.”
4 And upon hearing this very bad news, the people mourned; and no one put on his finery according to custom.
Mgbe ndị mmadụ ahụ nụrụ okwu olu ike ndị a, ha malitere iru ụjụ, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọbụla yinyere ihe ịchọ mma ya nʼahụ ha.
5 And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to the sons of Israel: You are a stiff-necked people. I should at once go up into your midst and destroy you. Now immediately put aside your ornaments, so that I may know what to do to you.”
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agwala Mosis sị, “Gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Unu bụ ndị isiike. A sị na m nọ nʼetiti unu, otu ntabi anya ezuorola m ịla unu nʼiyi. Ugbu a, yipụnụ ihe ịchọ mma niile unu yi nʼahụ, aga m ekpebi ihe m ga-eme unu.’”
6 Therefore, the sons of Israel put aside their ornaments before Mount Horeb.
Ya mere, ndị Izrel yipụrụ ihe ịchọ mma ha niile. Nʼugwu Horeb ka ha nọ mgbe ihe ndị a mere.
7 Also, Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it beyond the camp at a distance, and he called its name: ‘Tabernacle of the Covenant.’ And all the people, who had any kind of question, went out to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, beyond the camp.
Nʼoge a, Mosis na-ewere ụlọ ikwu manye nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu, ọ na-akpọ ya ụlọ nzute. Ọ na-amanye ya nʼebe dị anya site nʼebe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha. Onye ọ bụla nke chọrọ ịjụta Onyenwe anyị ase, na-apụ, gaa nʼụlọ nzute ahụ nke dị nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu.
8 And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and each one stood at the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses until he entered the tent.
Mgbe ọbụla Mosis na-aga nʼụlọ ikwu nzute ahụ, ndị Izrel niile na-apụta guzoro nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ha, na-ele ya anya tutu Mosis abanye nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ.
9 And when he had gone into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.
Mgbe ọ banyere nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ; ogidi igwe ojii ahụ na-abịa guzochie nʼọnụ ụzọ mgbe Onyenwe anyị na Mosis na-akparị ụka.
10 And all discerned that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the Tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tents.
Nʼoge ọbụla, ndị mmadụ hụrụ ogidi igwe ojii ahụ ka o guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu nzute ahụ, ha onwe ha na-eguzokwa, onye ọbụla, nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu ha, kpọọ isiala.
11 But the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man is used to speaking to his friend. And when he returned to the camp, his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not withdraw from the Tabernacle.
Nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, Onyenwe anyị na-agwa Mosis okwu ihu na ihu, dịka mmadụ sị agwa enyi ya okwu. Mgbe ha kparịchara ụka, Mosis na-alọghachi azụ nʼebe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha. Ma nwokorobịa ahụ na-enyere ya aka, bụ Joshua, nwa Nun, na-anọgide nʼụlọ ikwu nzute ahụ.
12 Then Moses said to the Lord: “You instruct me to lead this people away, and you do not reveal to me whom you will send with me, particularly since you have said: ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor before me.’
Mgbe Mosis na Onyenwe anyị nọ na-ekwurịta okwu, ihe Mosis gwara ya bụ nke a, “Ọ dịla anya kemgbe ị na-agwa m sị m, ‘Duru ndị m baa nʼala ahụ e kwere na nkwa inye ha.’ Ma matakwa na ị gwabeghị m onye ị ga-edunyere m ga-eduzi m ụzọ. I kwuola na ị maara aha m, kwukwaa na achọtala m ihuọma nʼebe ị nọ.
13 If, therefore, I have found favor in your sight, show your face to me, so that I may know you and may find grace before your eyes. Look favorably on your people, this nation.”
Biko, ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dị, zi m ụzọ gị, nke ga-eme ka m mata gị, gaakwa nʼihu inweta ihuọma site nʼebe ị nọ. Chetakwa na mba a dị ukwu bụ ndị gị.”
14 And the Lord said, “My face will precede you, and I will give you rest.”
Ọ zara sị, “Mụ onwe m ga-eso gị gaa, aga m enyekwa gị izuike.”
15 And Moses said: “If you will not yourself precede us, then do not lead us away from this place.
Mgbe ahụ Mosis sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị eso anyị nʼije a, ekwela ka anyị si nʼebe a zọpụ ụkwụ.
16 For how will we be able to know, I and your people, that we have found grace in your sight, unless you walk with us, so that we may be glorified out of all the people who live upon the earth?”
Ọ bụrụ na i soghị anyị, olee otu a ga-esi mata na mụ onwe m, na ndị gị achọtala ihuọma gị? Olee otu ọ ga-esi pụta ìhè na mụ na ndị gị bụ mba dị iche site na mba ndị ọzọ dị nʼụwa?”
17 Then the Lord said to Moses: “This word also, which you have spoken, I will do. For you have found grace before me, and I have known you by name.”
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị, “E, aga m eme ihe ị rịọrọ m, nʼihi na ị chọtala ihuọma m. Nʼezie, amara m onye ị bụ, marakwa aha gị.”
18 And he said, “Show me your glory.”
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis rịọrọ sị, “Gosi m ebube gị.”
19 He responded: “I will show you all that is good, and I will call out with the name of the Lord before you. And I will take pity on whomever I will, and I will be lenient to whomever it will please me.”
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Aga m eme ka ị hụ ịdị mma m, aga m akọwakwara gị ihe aha m bụ Onyenwe anyị pụtara. Onye m chọrọ imere ebere ka m ga-emere ebere, ọ bụkwa onye m chọrọ imere ọmịiko ka m ga-enwere ọmịiko.
20 And again he said: “You are not able to see my face. For man shall not see me and live.”
Ma ị pụghị ịhụ ihu m nʼihi na mmadụ ọbụla enweghị ike ịhụ ihu m ma dịrịkwa ndụ.”
21 And again, he said: “Behold, there is a place with me, and you shall stand upon the rock.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Lee, e nwere ebe dị nso nʼakụkụ m, nʼelu nkume, ebe i nwere ike iguzo.
22 And when my glory will cross over, I will set you in a cleft of the rock, and I will protect you with my right hand, until I pass by.
Mgbe ebube m ga-agafe, aga m ezo gị nʼokpuru nkume, werekwa aka m kpuchie gị, tutu ruo mgbe m gafechara.
23 And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back. But my face you are not able to see.”
Emesịa, aga m eweli aka m, ka i nwee ike ịhụ azụ m anya, ma ị pụghị ịhụ ihu m.”
