Exodus 33
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, “Go, ascend from this [place], you and the people, whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Tinggalkanlah tempat ini dan pergilah bersama bangsa yang kaubawa dari Mesir itu ke negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub serta keturunan mereka.
2 And I have sent a Messenger before you, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Aku akan mengutus seorang malaikat untuk membimbing kamu. Aku akan mengusir bangsa Kanaan, Amori, Het, Feris, Hewi dan Yebus.
3 [Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in your midst, for you [are] a stiff-necked people—lest I consume you in the way.”
Kamu menuju ke tanah yang kaya dan subur. Tetapi Aku sendiri tidak ikut dengan kamu, supaya kamu jangan Kubinasakan di tengah jalan, sebab kamu adalah bangsa yang keras kepala."
4 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
Kemudian TUHAN menyuruh Musa mengatakan kepada bangsa Israel, "Kamu bangsa yang keras kepala. Sekiranya Aku ikut dengan kamu biar sebentar saja, pasti kamu Kubinasakan sama sekali. Lepaskanlah segala perhiasanmu, maka Aku akan menentukan apa yang akan Kulakukan terhadapmu." Setelah mendengar teguran TUHAN itu, mereka sedih sekali seperti orang yang berkabung. Lalu mereka melepaskan perhiasan mereka. Jadi, sesudah meninggalkan Gunung Sinai, bangsa Israel tidak lagi memakai perhiasan.
5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel: You [are] a stiff-necked people; [in] one moment I could come up into your midst and could have consumed you; and now, put down your ornaments from off you, and I know what I do to you”;
6 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
7 And Moses takes the tent, and has stretched it out at the outside of the camp, far off from the camp, and has called it, “Tent of Meeting”; and it has come to pass, everyone seeking YHWH goes out to the Tent of Meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.
Setiap kali, bila bangsa Israel berkemah, Musa mengambil Kemah dan mendirikannya agak jauh dari perkemahan mereka. Kemah itu disebut Kemah TUHAN, dan siapa yang ingin minta nasihat TUHAN, pergi ke situ.
8 And it has come to pass, at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.
Kalau Musa pergi ke Kemah itu, orang-orang Israel berdiri di depan pintu kemah mereka dan memperhatikan Musa sampai ia masuk.
9 And it has come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud comes down, and has stood at the opening of the tent, and He has spoken with Moses;
Sesudah Musa masuk, turunlah tiang awan dan berhenti di pintu Kemah. Dari awan itu TUHAN berbicara dengan Musa.
10 and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.
Pada waktu orang Israel melihat tiang awan di pintu Kemah TUHAN, mereka semua bangkit dan sujud di pintu kemah masing-masing.
11 And YHWH has spoken to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend; and he has turned back to the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, does not depart out of the tent.
TUHAN berbicara dengan Musa berhadapan muka, seperti orang berbicara dengan kawannya. Sesudah itu Musa kembali ke perkemahan. Tetapi Yosua anak Nun, seorang pemuda pembantu Musa, tetap tinggal di dalam Kemah itu.
12 And Moses says to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, Bring up this people, and You have not caused me to know whom You send with me; and You have said, I have known you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.
Pada suatu hari Musa berkata kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, Engkau memerintahkan saya membimbing bangsa ini ke negeri yang Kaujanjikan. Tetapi Engkau tidak mengatakan siapa yang akan Kauutus untuk menolong saya. TUHAN, Engkau berkata bahwa Engkau mengenal saya, dan berkenan pada saya.
13 And now, if, please, I have found grace in Your eyes, please cause me to know Your way, and I know You, so that I find grace in Your eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Your people”;
Kalau begitu, sudilah memberitahukan apa rencana-Mu, TUHAN, supaya saya dapat melayani Engkau dan tetap menyenangkan hati-Mu. Ingatlah juga bahwa bangsa ini sudah Kaupilih menjadi milik-Mu."
14 and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
Kata TUHAN, "Kamu akan Kulindungi supaya dapat memiliki tanah yang Kujanjikan."
15 And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
Jawab Musa, "Kalau TUHAN tidak ikut dengan kami, jangan suruh kami meninggalkan tempat ini.
16 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”
Bagaimana orang akan tahu bahwa Engkau berkenan kepada saya dan kepada bangsa ini jika Engkau tidak menolong kami? Kehadiran TUHAN di tengah-tengah kami akan membedakan kami dari bangsa-bangsa lain di bumi."
17 And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Permintaanmu akan Kukabulkan, sebab Aku mengenal engkau dan Aku berkenan kepadamu."
18 And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
Lalu Musa memohon, "TUHAN, perlihatkanlah saya cahaya kehadiran-Mu."
19 and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”
Jawab TUHAN, "Aku akan lewat dengan segala keagungan-Ku di depanmu, sambil mengucapkan nama-Ku yang suci. Akulah TUHAN, dan Aku menunjukkan kemurahan hati dan belas kasihan kepada orang-orang yang Kupilih.
20 He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
Wajah-Ku tidak akan Kuperlihatkan kepadamu, sebab tak mungkin orang melihat Aku, dan tetap hidup.
21 YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
Di sebelah-Ku ini ada bukit batu; engkau dapat berdiri di situ.
22 and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,
Pada waktu cahaya kehadiran-Ku lewat, engkau Kumasukkan ke dalam sebuah celah dalam bukit batu itu dan Kututupi dengan tangan-Ku sampai Aku sudah lewat.
23 and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
Lalu akan Kutarik tangan-Ku supaya engkau dapat melihat Aku dari belakang, tetapi wajah-Ku tidak akan kaulihat."
