Exodus 33
1 YHWH 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.'
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Duru ndị a i si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta baa nʼala ahụ m kwere Ebraham, na Aịzik na Jekọb na nkwa, nʼihi na agwara m ha sị, ‘Aga m enye ụmụ ụmụ unu ala a, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.’
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:
Aga m ezipu Mmụọ ozi m ka ọ gaa nʼihu unu chụpụrụ unu ndị Kenan, na ndị Amọrait, na ndị Het, na ndị Periz, na ndị Hiv, na ndị Jebus.
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."
Gbago nʼala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, ma agaghị m eso unu nʼije unu, nʼihi na unu bụ ndị isiike. Ọ bụrụ na m esoro unu, unu ga-anwa m ọnwụnwa, nke ga-eme ka m laa unu nʼiyi nʼụzọ.”
4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
Mgbe ndị mmadụ ahụ nụrụ okwu olu ike ndị a, ha malitere iru ụjụ, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọbụla yinyere ihe ịchọ mma ya nʼahụ ha.
5 YHWH 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.'"
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agwala Mosis sị, “Gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Unu bụ ndị isiike. A sị na m nọ nʼetiti unu, otu ntabi anya ezuorola m ịla unu nʼiyi. Ugbu a, yipụnụ ihe ịchọ mma niile unu yi nʼahụ, aga m ekpebi ihe m ga-eme unu.’”
6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
Ya mere, ndị Izrel yipụrụ ihe ịchọ mma ha niile. Nʼugwu Horeb ka ha nọ mgbe ihe ndị a mere.
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 YHWH went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
Nʼoge a, Mosis na-ewere ụlọ ikwu manye nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu, ọ na-akpọ ya ụlọ nzute. Ọ na-amanye ya nʼebe dị anya site nʼebe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha. Onye ọ bụla nke chọrọ ịjụta Onyenwe anyị ase, na-apụ, gaa nʼụlọ nzute ahụ nke dị nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu.
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.
Mgbe ọbụla Mosis na-aga nʼụlọ ikwu nzute ahụ, ndị Izrel niile na-apụta guzoro nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ha, na-ele ya anya tutu Mosis abanye nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ọ banyere nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ; ogidi igwe ojii ahụ na-abịa guzochie nʼọnụ ụzọ mgbe Onyenwe anyị na Mosis na-akparị ụka.
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.
Nʼoge ọbụla, ndị mmadụ hụrụ ogidi igwe ojii ahụ ka o guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu nzute ahụ, ha onwe ha na-eguzokwa, onye ọbụla, nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu ha, kpọọ isiala.
11 YHWH 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.
Nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, Onyenwe anyị na-agwa Mosis okwu ihu na ihu, dịka mmadụ sị agwa enyi ya okwu. Mgbe ha kparịchara ụka, Mosis na-alọghachi azụ nʼebe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha. Ma nwokorobịa ahụ na-enyere ya aka, bụ Joshua, nwa Nun, na-anọgide nʼụlọ ikwu nzute ahụ.
12 Moses said to YHWH, "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.'
Mgbe Mosis na Onyenwe anyị nọ na-ekwurịta okwu, ihe Mosis gwara ya bụ nke a, “Ọ dịla anya kemgbe ị na-agwa m sị m, ‘Duru ndị m baa nʼala ahụ e kwere na nkwa inye ha.’ Ma matakwa na ị gwabeghị m onye ị ga-edunyere m ga-eduzi m ụzọ. I kwuola na ị maara aha m, kwukwaa na achọtala m ihuọma nʼebe ị nọ.
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."
Biko, ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dị, zi m ụzọ gị, nke ga-eme ka m mata gị, gaakwa nʼihu inweta ihuọma site nʼebe ị nọ. Chetakwa na mba a dị ukwu bụ ndị gị.”
14 He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
Ọ zara sị, “Mụ onwe m ga-eso gị gaa, aga m enyekwa gị izuike.”
15 He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, do not carry us up from here.
Mgbe ahụ Mosis sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị eso anyị nʼije a, ekwela ka anyị si nʼebe a zọpụ ụkwụ.
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?"
Ọ bụrụ na i soghị anyị, olee otu a ga-esi mata na mụ onwe m, na ndị gị achọtala ihuọma gị? Olee otu ọ ga-esi pụta ìhè na mụ na ndị gị bụ mba dị iche site na mba ndị ọzọ dị nʼụwa?”
17 YHWH 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."
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị, “E, aga m eme ihe ị rịọrọ m, nʼihi na ị chọtala ihuọma m. Nʼezie, amara m onye ị bụ, marakwa aha gị.”
18 He said, "Please show me your glory."
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis rịọrọ sị, “Gosi m ebube gị.”
19 He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of YHWH before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Aga m eme ka ị hụ ịdị mma m, aga m akọwakwara gị ihe aha m bụ Onyenwe anyị pụtara. Onye m chọrọ imere ebere ka m ga-emere ebere, ọ bụkwa onye m chọrọ imere ọmịiko ka m ga-enwere ọmịiko.
20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."
Ma ị pụghị ịhụ ihu m nʼihi na mmadụ ọbụla enweghị ike ịhụ ihu m ma dịrịkwa ndụ.”
21 YHWH also said, "Look, there is a place by me, and you are to station yourself on the rock.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Lee, e nwere ebe dị nso nʼakụkụ m, nʼelu nkume, ebe i nwere ike iguzo.
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;
Mgbe ebube m ga-agafe, aga m ezo gị nʼokpuru nkume, werekwa aka m kpuchie gị, tutu ruo mgbe m gafechara.
23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
Emesịa, aga m eweli aka m, ka i nwee ike ịhụ azụ m anya, ma ị pụghị ịhụ ihu m.”
