< Exodus 33 >

1 Then the Lord told Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you led out of Egypt, and go to the land I promised with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, telling them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Atii fi sabni ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde kun asii baʼaatii gara biyya ani Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif, ‘Ani sanyii keetiif nan kenna’ jedhee kakadhe sanaa dhaqaa.
2 I will send an angel out in front of you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
Ani ergamaa koo fuula kee duraan ergee Kanaʼaanota, Amoorota, Heetota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota ariʼee nan baasa.
3 Enter a land flowing with milk and honey, but I will not accompany you because you are a rebellious people. Otherwise I would destroy you on the way.”
Gara biyya aannanii fi dammi keessaa burquu dhaqi. Garuu waan ati saba mata jabeessa taateef ani akka karaatti si hin balleessineef si wajjin hin deemu.”
4 When the people heard these words of criticism, they mourned and didn't put on their jewelry.
Jarri yommuu oduu hamaa kana dhagaʼanitti gadduu jalqaban; isaan keessaas namni tokko iyyuu faaya tokko illee hin kaaʼanne.
5 For the Lord had previously told Moses, “Tell the people of Israel, ‘You are a rebellious people. If I was with you for just a moment, I would wipe you out. Now remove your jewelry, and I'll decide what to do with you.’”
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedheeraatii; “Saba Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin saba mata jabeeyyii dha. Ani utuu yeruma muraasa illee isin wajjin deemee silaa isin balleessa ture; isin amma faayawwan keessan of irraa baasaa; anis waanan isin godhu nan murteessaa.’”
6 So the Israelites took off their jewelry from the time they left Mount Sinai.
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Gaara Kooreeb biratti faayawwan isaanii of irraa baasan.
7 Moses used to set up the Tent of Meeting some way outside the camp. Anyone who wanted to ask the Lord anything could go out there to the Tent of Meeting.
Museen dunkaana tokko fuudhee iddoo qubataa sana keessaa baasee achi fageessee dhaaba ture; dunkaana sanas, “dunkaana wal gaʼii” jedhee moggaase. Namni Waaqayyoon barbaadatu hundinuu iddoo qubataa sana keessaa baʼee gara dunkaana wal gaʼii sanaa dhaqa ture.
8 Whenever Moses went out to the Tent, all the people would go and stand at the entrance of their tents. They would watch him until he had gone inside.
Yeroo Museen baʼee gara dunkaana sanaa dhaqu hunda sabni hundinuu kaʼee balbala dunkaana ofii isaa dura dhaabatee hamma inni dunkaanicha seenutti ilaala ture.
9 As soon as Moses went into the Tent, the cloud column would descend and stand in the doorway as the Lord spoke with Moses.
Yeroo Museen dunkaana sana seenutti utubaan duumessaa gad buʼee balbala dunkaanichaa dura dhaabata ture; Waaqayyos Musee wajjin dubbata ture.
10 When the people saw the cloud column standing in the doorway to the Tent, everyone would stand up and bow in worship at the entrance of their tents.
Sabni yeroo utubaa duumessaa kan balbala dunkaanaa dura dhaabatu argutti hundi isaa ol kaʼee tokkoon tokkoon namaa dunkaana ofii isaa duratti sagada ture.
11 Moses would speak to the Lord face to face as you would talk to a friend, and then returned to the camp. However, his young assistant Joshua, son of Nun, stayed in the Tent.
Waaqayyos akkuma nama michuu isaa wajjin haasaʼu tokkootti ifumaan ifatti Museetti dubbachaa ture. Ergasiis Museen iddoo qubataatti deebiʼa ture; gargaaraan isaa, Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni dargaggeessi suni garuu dunkaana sana biraa hin deemu ture.
12 Moses said to the Lord, “Look, you've been telling me, ‘Go and lead these people,’ but you haven't let me know who you're going to send with me. And yet you have stated, ‘I know you personally, and I'm happy with you.’
Museen Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Ilaa, ati, ‘saba kana dura buʼii baasi’ naan jetteerta; garuu ana wajjin eenyun akka ergitu na hin beeksifne. Ati, ‘Ani maqaadhaan si beeka; ati na biratti fudhatama argateerta’ jette.
13 Now if it's true that you're happy with me, please teach me your ways so I can get to know you, and go on pleasing you. Remember that the people of this nation are yours.”
Ammas ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee yoon jiraadhe, akka ani si beekuu fi akka ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhuuf karaa kee na barsiisi; akka sabni kun saba kee taʼes yaadadhu.”
14 The Lord replied, “I myself will go with you, and I will support you.”
Waaqayyos deebisee, “Ani si wajjin nan deema; boqonnaas siifin kenna” jedhe.
15 “If you don't go with us yourself, then please don't take us away from here,” Moses responded.
Museen immoo akkana jedheen; “Yoo ati nu wajjin deemuu baate, asii nu hin baasin.
16 “How will others know that you are happy with me, and with your people, if you don't accompany us? How would anyone tell us apart—me and your people—from every other people who live on the earth?”
Ati nu wajjin deemuu baannaan namni akkamiin akka ati anaa fi saba keetti gammaddu beeka? Wanni anaa fi saba kee saboota lafa irraa kaan hunda irraa addaan baasu biraa maali ree?”
17 The Lord told Moses, “I promise do what you've asked, because I'm happy with you and I know you personally.”
Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan, “Ani waan ati amma kadhatte kana nan godha; ati fuula koo duratti ayyaana argatteertaatii; anis maqaadhaan si beeka” jedhe.
18 “Now please reveal to me your glory,” Moses asked.
Museenis, “Maaloo ulfina kee na argisiisi” jedhe.
19 “I will make all the goodness of my character pass in front of you, I will call out the name ‘Yahweh,’ I will show grace to those I want to show grace, and I will show mercy to those I want to show mercy.
Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedhe; “Ani gaarummaa koo hundumaa fuula kee dura nan dabarsa; maqaa Waaqayyoo fuula kee duratti nan labsa. Ani kanan maaru nan maara; kanan garaa laafuufiis garaa nan laafa.
20 But you won't be able to see my face, because no one can see my face and live.”
Garuu waan namni fuula koo argee jiraachuu hin dandeenyeef ati fuula koo arguu hin dandeessu.”
21 “Come here and stand by me on this rock,” the Lord went on,
Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Kunoo as na bira iddoon ati kattaa irra dhaabachuu dandeessu jira.
22 “and as my glory goes by I'll put you in a crevice of the rock, and I'll cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
Ani yeroo ulfinni koo darbuutti jiru holqa kattaa keessa si kaaʼee hamma ani darbutti harka kootiin si daʼeessa.
23 Then I'll take my hand away and you'll see my back; but you won't see my face.”
Ergasiis ani harka koo nan fudhadha; atis dugda koo ni argita; fuulli koo garuu argamuu hin qabu.”
