< Exodus 33 >

1 And YHWH said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I 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 before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, 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 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.
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 when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
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 For YHWH had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
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 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
Ya mere, ndị Izrel yipụrụ ihe ịchọ mma ha niile. Nʼugwu Horeb ka ha nọ mgbe ihe ndị a mere.
7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought YHWH went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without 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 it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
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 it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and YHWH talked 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 the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
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 And YHWH spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of 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 And Moses said unto YHWH, 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 favour in my sight.
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 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find favour in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
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 he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Ọ zara sị, “Mụ onwe m ga-eso gị gaa, aga m enyekwa gị izuike.”
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
Mgbe ahụ Mosis sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị eso anyị nʼije a, ekwela ka anyị si nʼebe a zọpụ ụkwụ.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found favour in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of 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 And YHWH said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found favour in my sight, and I know thee 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, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis rịọrọ sị, “Gosi m ebube gị.”
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of YHWH before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
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 he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
Ma ị pụghị ịhụ ihu m nʼihi na mmadụ ọbụla enweghị ike ịhụ ihu m ma dịrịkwa ndụ.”
21 And YHWH said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Lee, e nwere ebe dị nso nʼakụkụ m, nʼelu nkume, ebe i nwere ike iguzo.
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while 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 mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Emesịa, aga m eweli aka m, ka i nwee ike ịhụ azụ m anya, ma ị pụghị ịhụ ihu m.”
