Exodus 33
1 And the LORD 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:
Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Ibva panzvimbo ino, iwe navanhu vawakabudisa kubva muIjipiti uye ukwidze kunyika yandakavimbisa nemhiko kuna Abhurahama, Isaka naJakobho ndichiti, ‘Ndichaipa kuzvizvarwa zvako.’
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:
Ndichatuma mutumwa pamberi pako agodzinga vaKenani, vaAmori, vaHiti, vaPerezi, vaHivhi navaJebhusi.
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.
Kwidzai kunyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi. Asi ini handiendi nemi, nokuti muri vanhu vane mitsipa mikukutu uye ndingazokuparadzai munzira.”
4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
Vanhu vakati vachinzwa mashoko anotambudza aya, vakatanga kuchema uye hapana munhu akashonga zvinoyevedza.
5 For the LORD 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.
Nokuti Jehovha akanga ati kuna Mozisi, “Taurira vaIsraeri uti, ‘Muri vanhu vane mitsipa mikukutu. Kana dai ndingaende nemi kunyange kwenguva duku, ndingakuparadzai. Zvino bvisai zvishongo zvenyu uye ini ndichafunga zvokuita nemi.’”
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
Saka vaIsraeri vakabvisa zvishongo zvavo pagomo reHorebhi.
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 the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which [was] without the camp.
Zvino Mozisi aisitora tende achiridzika kunze kwomusasa kachinhambwe, achiti ndiro “tende rokusangana.” Munhu upi zvake ainge ane chaanoda kubvunza kuna Jehovha aienda kuTende Rokusangana kunze kwomusasa.
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.
Uye pose paibuda Mozisi achienda kutende, vanhu vose vaisimuka vachibva vamira pamikova yamatende avo, vakatarira Mozisi kusvikira apinda mutende.
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 [the LORD] talked with Moses.
Kana Mozisi apinda mutende, shongwe yegore yaiburuka yobva yamira pamukova, Jehovha achitaura naMozisi.
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.
Vanhu vaiti vangoona shongwe yegore pamukova wokupinda mutende, vose vaimira vobva vanamata, mumwe nomumwe pamukova wetende rake.
11 And the LORD 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.
Jehovha aizotaura naMozisi uso nouso, somunhu anotaura neshamwari yake. Ipapo Mozisi aizodzokera kumusasa, asi mubatsiri wake Joshua mwanakomana waNuni akanga asingabudi mutende.
12 And Moses said unto the LORD, 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 grace in my sight.
Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha, “Imi manga muchiti kwandiri, ‘Tungamirira vanhu ava,’ asi hamusati mandizivisa wamuchandituma naye. Manga muchingoti, ‘Ndinokuziva nezita rako uye wawana nyasha kwandiri.’
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation [is] thy people.
Kana muchifadzwa neni, ndidzidzisei nzira dzenyu kuitira kuti ndigokuzivai uye ndirambe ndichiwana nyasha kwamuri. Rangarirai kuti rudzi urwu vanhu venyu.”
14 And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest.
Jehovha akapindura akati, “Kuvapo kwangu kuchaenda newe, uye ndichakupa zororo.”
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence.
Ipapo Mozisi akati kwaari, “Kana Kuvapo kwenyu kusingaendi nesu, musatibvisa pano.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace 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.
Vanhu vachaziva sei kuti munofadzwa neni uye navanhu venyu kana musina kuenda nesu? Chiizve chicharatidza mutsauko pakati pangu navanhu venyu navamwe vanhu vose vari pamusoro penyika?”
17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
Uye Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Ndichaita chinhu ichocho chawakumbira, nokuti ndinofadzwa newe uye ndinokuziva nezita.”
18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
Ipapo Mozisi akati, “Zvino ndiratidzei kubwinya kwenyu.”
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
Uye Jehovha akati, “Ndichaita kuti kunaka kwangu kupfuure napamberi pako, uye ndichaparidza zita rangu, iro Jehovha, pamberi pako. Ndichanzwira nyasha iye wandichanzwira nyasha, uye ndichanzwira tsitsi uyo wandichanzwira tsitsi.”
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
Akati, “Asi haugoni kuona chiso changu, nokuti hapana munhu angandiona uye akararama.”
21 And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Pane nzvimbo iri pedyo neni paungamira padombo.
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:
Panopfuura kubwinya kwangu, ndichakuisa mumukaha wedombo uye ndichakufukidza noruoko rwangu kusvikira ndapfuura.
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Ipapo ndichabvisa ruoko rwangu uye uchaona shure kwangu; asi chiso changu hachifaniri kuonekwa.”
