Exodus 33
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Leave this place and go with the people whom you led out of Egypt. Go to the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants.
Pakaiyin Mose henga thu aseijin, “kipat doh inlang che touvin, nangma chule Egypt gam'a konna nahin puidoh mite jouse jao nan, Abraham, Isaac chule Jacob henga kana kihah silna, na son na chilhha te ka peh ding ahi tia ka seina gam khu jon tauvin, ati.”
2 I will send my angel ahead of you all, and I will expel [from that land] the Canaan, Amor, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
“Keiman na masang lama vantil khat ka sol ding, chuteng keiman Canaan mite, Amor mite, Hit mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite, Hit mite chule Jebus mite abonchauva ka deldoh gam hel ding ahiuve, ati.”
3 You will go to a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [IDM]. But I will not go with you myself, because [if I did that], I might get rid of you while you are traveling, because you are very stubborn [IDM] people.”
“Bongnoi le khoiju lonna gam khu jon taovin lang, ahin ka tahsa taha ka lhonpi lou ding nahi. Ajeh chu na louchal jeh'a lampi a ka moh suhgam jeng thei nahi, ati.
4 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the Israeli people, ‘You are very stubborn [IDM]. If I would go with you for even a moment, I would completely (get rid of you/wipe you out). Now take off your jewelry [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. Then I will decide how I will punish you (OR, if I should punish you).’” So when Moses/I told to the people what God said, they started to mourn, and they all took off their jewelry.
Mipin jong thu kisei awgin chu ajah doh phat uvin akap lha gam tauvin ahi. Mikhat jouse khat jeng cha jong a kivon na ngai yin a kivon ta pouvin ahi.”
“Pakaiyin Mose henga thu aseijin, Israel chate jouse henga seiyin, mi louchal te na hiuvin, bangkah khat na lhon tou pi jong leu, na louchal jal uva ka suhgam hel thei na hiuve, tun nangma chung cheh a na kivon na chengse'u sutlha uvin lang, chu teng keiman nangho lamhil ding dan na hin het them diu ahi, ati.”
6 After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
Chuin Horeb molsang akon in Israel chaten achung'uva kai akivon na jouse'u asut lha'u vin ahi.
7 [When the Israeli people traveled], whenever they stopped and set up their tents, Moses/I had them set up a tent outside the camp, far from the camp. I called it ‘the Sacred Tent where God and I talk together’. Everyone who wanted Yahweh to decide something for them would go out of the camp to the Sacred Tent.
Mose'n jong ponbuh chu ana lang jing chule hichu ngah mun apat ki gamlha thim khat a ana son ji ahiye. Ponbuh chu kikhop khomna ponbuh ahin, miholah a koi hijong le Pakai holnom chan chu ngahmun pamlama ponbuh ki song lama chu ga che teitei ding ahi, ati.
8 Whenever Moses/I went out to the Sacred Tent, all the people would stand at the entrances of their tents and watch him/me until he/I had entered the Sacred Tent.
Mose jong chu ponbuh akonna ahung potdoh teng mipi abonchauvin ading doh jiuvin, mjouse jong chu ama ama kotpi phungbula ding den soh keijuva, Mose jong ponbuh asung lha kahsea mipin jong avet mang kei u ahi.
9 When Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent, the tall cloud that looked like a fire would come down and stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and then Yahweh would talk with Moses/me.
Chuin Mose jong ponbuh sung alut jiteng meibol chu ahung kitollut jin, kotpi phunga chun akitang den jin, chuteng Pakaiyin Mose chu akihoulim pijin ahi.
10 When the people saw the tall cloud at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, they would all prostrate themselves on the ground and worship Yahweh.
Mipiho jousen hiche meilhang kotpi phunga ahung kitan den amujiteng ule, Mipi jong abon chaovin ading doh uvin, amimal cheh in ama kotpi phung bul cheh a chibai aboh jiuvin ahi.
11 Yahweh would speak to Moses/me directly, like someone speaks to his friend. Then Moses/I would return to the camp. But his/my young helper, Joshua, the son of Nun, stayed in the Sacred Tent.
Mikhat in aloipa ahoulimpi bang bang in Pathen in Mose chu ahoulim pijin ahi. Mose jong ponbuh sunga ahung sunglhah kit teng, ama lhacha a pang leji Nun chapa Joshua jong hiti chun aum den jitai.
12 Moses/I said to Yahweh, “It is true that you have told me, ‘Lead the people to the land [that I will show you],’ and you have said that you know me well and that you are pleased with me, but you have not told me whom you will send with me!
Mose'n Pakai henga aseijin, ven! Nangmatah in kajah a nasei ahi. Hiche mite hohi hinpui touvin tin naseiyin, ahinlah amahola a hi koipen toh neisol ding ham ti neiseipeh pon ahi. Ahinlah nangman naseiyin, keiman nangma hi hetsahna kapeh nahin chule nangman nasei jin keima lunglhaina vang nachang e nei tinai, ati.
13 So now, if you are truly pleased with me, I ask you, tell me the things that you intend/plan to do, in order that I will know you [better] and continue to please you. Also, do not forget that the [Israeli] people are the people whom you chose to belong to you.”
Tun nangma mitmua lunglhaina kachan tah a ahile, nahenga kahung taove, nangma kahetthem jinga chule namitmua jong lunglhaina kachan jing theina ding in, lamdih a kipugina ding jouse abonchan neihil inlang, amaho jong hi nagma mite ahiuve tijong hin sumil hih hel in, ati.
14 Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
Pakaiyin aseijin, kami umpi nachun nalhon pi jing ding ahi. Hiche akonna chu nangma choldamna kachansah teiding nahiye, ati.
15 Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
Mose'n jong Pakai henga aseijin, ahinaije, nangma umpi na chun neilhonpi jing louva ahile hiche munna pat hin neipuidoh dajeng taovin ati.
16 The only way that [other] people will know that you are pleased with me and with your people is if you go with us [RHQ]! (If you go with us, [that will show that] we are different from all the other people on the earth./If you do not go with us, what will show that we are different from all the other people on the earth?)” [RHQ]
Keima kahin chule namite jouse ahin nangma mitmua lunglaina kachang uve tihi iti kihetdoh thei ding ham? Neilhon piteng ule keima ho hi atumbeh a neigel na'u ahin, keima ka hin chule namite abonchauva leiset chunga midang jouse akonna a tumbeh mong mong ka hitauve tihi ka het doh thei lou diu ham, ati.
17 Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “What you have asked is exactly what I will do, because I know you well and I am pleased with you.”
Chu in Pakaiyin Mose henga aseijin, “Na seidohsa hi keiman ka bol ding ahi. Ajeh chu kamit mua lunglhaina nachan ahin, hiche jeh chun keiman nangma ka het chenset na hitai,” ati.
18 Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
Mose'n jong asei jin, ka hung tauve,” na loupina ka heng'a kilah sah tei teijin ati tan ahile.”
19 Yahweh replied, “I will let you see how great and glorious I am, and I will tell you clearly that my name is Yahweh. I will act very kindly and be merciful to all those whom I choose.
Pakaiyin adonbut in ajah a, “Ka loupi na aboncha na masang lama ka kitolsah ding, na masang lama pakai min ka sam phong peh ding, chule ka lungsetna chu na chan jing ding, hepi na jong nangma kachansah ding naiye,” ati.
20 But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
Chuin aman aseijin, “Ahinlah kamai vang namu thei lou ding ahiye, ajeh chu mihem koihile kamai muchan chu thijeng ding ahi,” ati.
21 [But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
Pakaiyin aseijin, Ven! “Ka komma a onglaija hin hung ding inlang, hiche songpi chunga hi nadin ding ahiye.”
22 When my glorious presence comes past you, I will put you in a large crevice/opening in the rock, and I will cover your face with my hand until I have passed by.
“Ka loupina ahung kitol teng le keiman songpi kikah a kasel ding, hiche laimunna chu kasel jing ding keiman kadalhah teng le bou kahoh doh kit ding ahi,” ati.
23 Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
“Ka dalhah teng le keiman ka hin hoh doh ding, chuteng kanung lam bou namu ding, itinama jong le kamai vang namu thei lou ding ahi,” ati.
