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.
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 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.
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 [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.”
[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 the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
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 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”;
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 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
Pea naʻe vete ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau ngaahi teunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko Holepi.
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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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”;
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 says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u ʻalu mo koe, pea te u tuku kiate koe ʻae fiemālie.”
15 And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakahā kiate au ho nāunau.’
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.”
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 He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
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 YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae potu ʻoku ofi kiate au, pea te ke tuʻu koe ki he funga maka:
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,
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 and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
Pea te u toʻo hoku nima, pea te ke mamata ki hoku tuʻa; ka ko hoku fofonga ʻe ʻikai hā ia.”
