Exodus 33
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.'
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “He lamloh namah cet lamtah nong laeh. Egypt khohmuen lamkah na khuen pilnam te khohmuen la khuen laeh. Te te Abraham taengah, Isaak taeng neh Jakob taengah ka toemngam tih, “Na tiingan taengah ka paek ni,” ka ti nah.
2 I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
Nang mikhmuh ah puencawn kan tueih vetih Kanaan neh Amori khaw, Khitti neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi khaw ka haek bitni.
3 to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."
Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen lam khaw na khui ah ka pongpa mahpawh. Pilnam he na rhawn mangkhak aih tih longpueng ah nang kang khap lah ve,” a ti nah.
4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
Pilnam loh ol thae he a yaak vaengah nguekcoi uh tih hlang loh a pum dongkah a cangen khaw oi uh pawh.
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.'"
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Israel ca rhoek te thui pah. Nangmih he rhawn thah pilnam ni. Na khui ah mikhaptok ah vai ka pongpa vetih nang kan thup ve. Na cangen khaw na pum dong lamloh pit laeh. Na taengah mebang ka saii ham khaw ka ming ngawn,” a ti nah.
6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh a cangen te Horeb tlang ah a dul uh.
7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The Tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought the LORD went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
Moses loh dap te a puen tih rhaehhmuen lamkah a lakhla la rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah amah la a tuk. Te te tingtunnah dap la a khue tih BOEIPA aka dawt boeih loh rhaehhmuen vongvoel kah tingtunnah dap te a paan.
8 It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
Moses te dap la a caeh vaengah pilnam pum khaw thoo uh tih hlang he amah kah dap thohka ah pai uh. Te vaengah dap khuila a kun hil Moses hnuk te a paelki uh.
9 It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.
Dap khuila Moses a kun van neh cingmai tung ha suntla. Te vaengah dap thohka ah pai tih Moses te a voek.
10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
Dap thohka kah aka pai cingmai tung te pilnam loh boeih a hmuh. Te dongah pilnam te boeih thoo tih hlang he amah kah dap thohka ah ni a bakop uh coeng.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart out of the Tent.
Te vaengah hlang loh a hui a voek bangla BOEIPA loh Moses te a hmai, hmai ah a voek. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen la mael. Tedae anih kah tueihyoeih Nun capa cadong Joshua tah dap khui lamloh nong pawh.
12 Moses said to the LORD, "Look, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'
Te phoeiah Moses loh BOEIPA te, “Namah loh kai taengah pilnam he khuen laeh,” na ti ne. Tedae kai taengah nan tueih ham te khaw kai nan ming sak moenih. Te vaengah namah loh, 'Na ming neh kan ming tih ka mik dongkah mikdaithen khaw na hmuh,’ na ti.
13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."
Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka hmuh van coeng atah na longpuei te kai m'ming sak laeh. Namah kan ming daengah man na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen khaw ka hmuh ve. Namtom he na pilnam la hmuh mai,” a ti nah.
14 He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
Tedae, “Ka mikhmuh kah he a caeh uh daengah ni nang te kan duem sak eh,” a ti nah.
15 He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, do not carry us up from here.
Te phoeiah amah te, “Na mikhmuh kah te a caeh pawt atah he lamloh kaimih nan khuen pawt mako.
16 For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?"
Kai neh na pilnam loh na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka hmuh te me nen nim a ming eh. Kaimih taengkah na pongpa nen pawt nim kai neh na pilnam tah diklai hman kah pilnam cungkuem lamloh ka hoep uh tangloeng he,” a ti nah.
17 The LORD said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Ka mikhmuh ah mikdaithen na hmuh tih na ming neh kam ming dongah ol he na thui bangla ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
18 He said, "Please show me your glory."
Te vaengah, “Na thangpomnah te kai m'hmuh sak laem,” a ti nah.
19 He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Ka thennah boeih he na mikhmuh ah ka phoe vetih na mikhmuh ah Yahweh ming he ka doek ni. Ka rhen tueng ni ka rhen vetih ka haidam tueng ni ka haidam eh?,” a ti nah.
20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."
Tedae, “Ka maelhmai hmuh ham na coeng moenih, hlang loh kai m'hmu mai cakhaw a hing hae moenih,” a ti nah.
21 The LORD also said, "Look, there is a place by me, and you are to station yourself on the rock.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh, “Kamah taengkah hmuen ah he lungpang soah khaw pai mai.
22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
Tedae ka thangpomnah loh a pah phai vaengah lungpang rhaep ah nang kang khueh ni. Te vaengah ka khum hil nang soah ka kut kang khuk bitni.
23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
Ka kut ka khoe van neh ka nam na hmuh ni. Tedae ka maelhmai tah tueng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
