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.
Dijo Yahvé a Moisés: “Anda, sube de aquí, tú y el pueblo que sacaste de Egipto, al país que Yo con juramento prometí a Abrahán, a Isaac y a Jacob, diciendo: A tu posteridad lo daré.
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.
Enviaré delante de ti un Ángel, y echaré al cananeo, al amorreo, al heteo, al fereceo, al heveo y al jebuseo,
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.”
(para que entres) en la tierra que mana leche y miel; pues Yo no iré en medio de ti, porque eres un pueblo de dura cerviz; no sea que te destruya en el camino.”
4 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
Al oír estas duras palabras el pueblo se puso de luto y nadie se atavió con sus galas.
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”;
Dijo entonces Yahvé a Moisés: “Di a los hijos de Israel: Vosotros sois un pueblo de dura cerviz. Si Yo un solo momento subiera contigo, te consumiría. Ahora, pues, quítate tus atavíos, para que Yo sepa qué he de hacer contigo.”
6 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
Por lo cual los hijos de Israel se despojaron de sus atavíos desde el monte 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.
Y tomó Moisés el Tabernáculo y lo plantó a cierta distancia fuera del campamento, y lo llamó Tabernáculo de la Reunión. De modo que todo el que buscaba a Yahvé salía hacia el Tabernáculo de la Reunión fuera del campamento.
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.
Cuando salía Moisés hacia el Tabernáculo se ponía en pie todo el pueblo, y cada cual se estaba a la puerta de su tienda, siguiendo con sus ojos a Moisés hasta entrar este en el Tabernáculo.
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;
Y cuando Moisés entraba en el Tabernáculo, bajaba la columna de nube y se detenía a la puerta del Tabernáculo, mientras (Yahvé) hablaba con Moisés.
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.
Todo el pueblo que veía la columna de nube erguida a la puerta del Tabernáculo, se levantaba, y cada cual se postraba junto a la puerta de su tienda.
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.
Así hablaba Yahvé con Moisés cara a cara, como suele hablar un hombre con su amigo. Luego volvía este al campamento, pero su ministro, el joven Josué, hijo de Nun, no se apartaba del Tabernáculo.
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.
Y dijo Moisés a Yahvé: “Mira, Tú me dices: Saca este pueblo; mas no me has dado a conocer a quien enviarás conmigo; y sin embargo me has dicho: Te conozco por tu nombre, y también: Has hallado gracia a mis ojos.
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”;
Ahora, pues, si realmente he hallado gracia a tus ojos, te ruego me muestres tu camino, para que yo te conozca y halle gracia a tus ojos, y considera que este pueblo es pueblo tuyo.”
14 and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
Respondió Él: “Mi Rostro irá (delante de ti) y te daré descanso.”
15 And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
Le contestó: “Si tu Rostro no va (delante nuestro), no nos hagas partir de aquí.
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.”
Pues ¿en qué podrá conocerse que he hallado gracia a tus ojos, yo y tu pueblo, sino en eso en que Tú marches con nosotros, para que nos distingamos, yo y tu pueblo, de todos los pueblos que hay sobre la tierra?”
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.”
Respondió Yahvé a Moisés: “Cumpliré también esto que me acabas de pedir, pues has hallado gracia a mis ojos, y Yo te conozco por tu nombre.”
18 And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
Entonces dijo (Moisés): “Muéstrame, te ruego tu gloria.”
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.”
Él le contestó: “Yo haré pasar ante tu vista toda mi bondad y pronunciaré delante de ti el nombre de Yahvé; y haré merced a quien Yo haga merced y usaré de misericordia con quien Yo use de misericordia.”
20 He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
Y añadió: “Pero mi Rostro no podrás verlo; porque no puede verme el hombre y vivir.”
21 YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
Luego dijo Yahvé: “He aquí un lugar junto a Mí; tú te pondrás sobre la peña;
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,
y al pasar mi gloria, te pondré en una hendidura de la peña, y te cubriré con mi mano hasta que Yo haya pasado.
23 and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
Luego apartaré mi mano, para que veas mis espaldas; pero mi Rostro no se puede ver.”
