Exodus 33

1 Afterward the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Depart, goe vp from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought vp out of lande of Egypt) vnto the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak and to Iaakob, saying, Vnto thy seede will I giue it.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu, pea hiki ʻi heni, ʻa koe mo e kakai ʻaia kuo ke ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, Te u foaki ia ki ho hako:

2 And I will send an Angel before thee and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites:

Pea te u fekau ha ʻāngelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe: pea te u kapusi ʻae kakai Kēnani, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Pelesi, ko e kau Hevi, pea mo e kau Sepusi:

3 To a lande, I say, that floweth with milke and hony: for I will not goe vp with thee, because thou art a stiffe necked people, least I consume thee in the way.

[Mou ʻalu ]ki he fonua mahu tāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi: ka ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu hake ʻi homou lotolotonga; he ko e kakai kia kekeva koe: telia naʻaku fakaʻauha koe ʻi he hala.”

4 And when the people heard this euill tydings, they sorowed, and no man put on his best rayment.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai ki he ongoongo kovi ni, naʻa nau tangi: pea naʻe ʻikai ʻai ʻe ha tangata haʻa ne teunga.

5 (For the Lord had said to Moses, Say vnto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffe necked people, I wil come suddenly vpon thee, and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly rayment from thee, that I may know what to do vnto thee)

He naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koe kakai kia kekeva ʻakimoutolu: Te u ʻalu atu ki loto ʻiate koe ʻi he kemo pe taha, ʻo fakaʻauha koe; ko ia ke ke tukuange ai ʻae ngaahi teunga ʻiate koe, kaeʻoua ke u ʻilo ai ha meʻa ke fai kiate koe.”

6 So the children of Israel layed their good raiment from them, after Moses came downe from the mount Horeb.

Pea naʻe vete ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau ngaahi teunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko Holepi.

7 Then Moses tooke his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host farre off from the hoste, and called it Ohel-moed. And whe any did seeke to the Lord, he went out vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the hoste.

Pea naʻe hiki ʻe Mōsese ʻae fale fehikitaki, ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi tuaʻā mei he ʻapitanga, ʻo mamaʻo atu mei he ʻapitanga, ʻo ne ui ia ko e Fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai. Pea naʻe pehē, ko ia kotoa pē naʻe kumi kia Sihova naʻe ʻalu ia kituaʻā ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi tuaʻā mei he ʻapitanga.

8 And when Moses went out vnto the Tabernacle, all the people rose vp, and stood euery man at his tent doore, and looked after Moses, vntil he was gone into the Tabernacle.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Mōsese ki he fale fehikitaki, naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo tuʻu ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale fehikitaki, ke sio atu kia Mōsese, ke ʻoua ke hū ia ki he fale fehikitaki.

9 And assoone as Moses was entred into the Tabernacle, the cloudie pillar descended and stood at the doore of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.

Pea ʻi he hū ʻa Mōsese ki he fale fehikitaki, naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae pou ʻao, pea tuʻu ia ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea alea[ʻa Sihova ]mo Mōsese.

10 Nowe when all the people saw the cloudie pillar stand at the Tabernacle doore, all the people rose vp, and worshipped euery man in his tent doore.

Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ki he pou ʻao ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo hū, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale fehikitaki.

11 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his friende. After he turned againe into the hoste, but his seruant Ioshua the sonne of Nun a yong man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ko e mata ki he mata, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae tangata ki hono kāinga. Pea naʻe liu mai ia ki he ʻapitanga; he ko hono tauhi, ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tangata talavou, naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia mei he fale fehikitaki.

12 Then Moses sayde vnto the Lord, See, thou sayest vnto me, Leade this people forth, and thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt sende with mee: thou hast sayde moreouer, I knowe thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku ke pehē mai kiate au, Ke ke ʻohake ʻae kakai ni: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fakahā kiate au, pe ko hai ia te ke fekau ke ma ō mo au. Ka kuo ke tala mai, ʻOku ou ʻilo koe ʻi ho hingoa, pea kuo ʻofeina koe ʻi hoku ʻao.

13 Nowe therefore, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, shewe mee nowe thy way, that I may knowe thee, and that I may finde grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people.

Pea ko ʻeni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ke ke fakahā ni kiate au ho hala, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo koe, pea te u ʻilo ai ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao: pea ke ʻafioʻi ko e puleʻanga ni ko ho kakai.”

14 And he answered, My presence shall go with thee, and I will giue thee rest.

Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u ʻalu mo koe, pea te u tuku kiate koe ʻae fiemālie.”

15 Then he sayd vnto him, If thy presence go not with vs, cary vs not hence.

Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻa hoʻo ʻafio mo au, ʻoua naʻa ke fetuku hake ʻakimautolu ʻi heni.

16 And wherein nowe shall it be knowen, that I and thy people haue found fauour in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with vs? so I, and thy people shall haue preeminence before all the people that are vpon the earth.

He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻilo ni ʻi he ha kuo ʻofeina au mo hoʻo kakai ʻi ho ʻao? ʻIkai ʻi he meʻa ni, ʻi hoʻo ʻalu mo kimautolu? Ko ia te mau mavahe ai, ʻa au mo hoʻo kakai, mei he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”

17 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, I will doe this also that thou hast saide: for thou hast founde grace in my sight, and I knowe thee by name.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Te u fai ʻae meʻa ni foki ʻaia kuo ke lea ki ai: he kuo ke maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo koe ʻi ho hingoa.’

18 Againe he sayde, I beseech thee, shewe me thy glory.

Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakahā kiate au ho nāunau.’

19 And he answered, I wil make all my good go before thee, and I wil proclaime the Name of the Lord before thee: for I will shewe mercy to whom I will shewe mercy, and will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Te u fai ke hā atu ʻeku angalelei kotoa pē ʻi ho ʻao, pea te u fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻi ho ʻao; pea te u ʻofa mataʻatā pe kiate ia ʻoku ou loto ke ʻofa mataʻatā pe ki ai, pea te u ʻaloʻofa kiate ia ʻoku ou loto ke ʻaloʻofa ki ai.

20 Furthermore he sayde, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and liue.

Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku ʻikai te ke mafai ke mamata ki hoku fofonga: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata te ne mamata kiate au, pea moʻui.

21 Also the Lord sayd, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand vpon the rocke:

Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae potu ʻoku ofi kiate au, pea te ke tuʻu koe ki he funga maka:

22 And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rocke, and will couer thee with mine hand whiles I passe by.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻa hoku nāunau, te u ai koe ki he mafahi ʻoe maka, pea teu ʻufiʻufi koe ʻaki hoku nima lolotonga ʻeku ʻalu atu:

23 After I will take away mine hande, and thou shalt see my backe parts: but my face shall not be seene.

Pea te u toʻo hoku nima, pea te ke mamata ki hoku tuʻa; ka ko hoku fofonga ʻe ʻikai hā ia.”
