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.
Hottelah BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh, hi hoi tâcawt awh nateh, Abraham, Isak hoi Jakop koevah, na catounnaw hanelah na poe han telah thoebo laihoi lawk ka kam e ram dawk, nang hoi Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai e naw hoi cet takhang awh.
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.
Nangmae hmalah kalvantami ka patoun vaiteh, Kanaan taminaw, Amor taminaw, Hit taminaw, Periznaw, Hivnaw hoi Jubusitnaw hah ka pâlei han.
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.”
Khoitui hoi maitosanutui a lawngnae ram dawk cet takhang awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmouh koe ka cet takhang van mahoeh. A lung ka patak poung e lah na o awh dawkvah, lamlak vah koung na pathup payon han doeh telah 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.
Hottelah tamimaya ni hete kamthang kathout a thai awh toteh, a ka awh teh apihai kamthoup ngai awh hoeh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe Isarel catounnaw koe vah, a lung ka patak poung e miphun lah na o awh, nangmouh koe dongdeng ka o nakunghai, koung na pathup awh han. Hatdawkvah nangmouh koe ka sak hane ka panue thai nahanelah, na kamthoupnae pueng hah koung rading awh telah a dei toe.
6 After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
Hatdawkvah Isarelnaw ni a kamthoupnae hah Horeb mon vah a kârading awh.
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.
Mosi ni Lukkareiim hah a ceikhai teh, roenae lawilah betbet ahlanae koe ouk a yap. Hot hah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim ati awh. Hahoi BAWIPA tawng ka ngai e pueng teh, roenae lawilah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawkvah ouk a cei awh.
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.
Hahoi, Mosi teh lukkareiim pâtam hoi a cei lahun nah, tamimaya a thaw awh teh amamae rim takhang koe a kangdue awh teh, Mosi lukkareiim thung a kâen totouh a khet awh.
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.
Hahoi Mosi teh lukkareiim dawk a kâen tahma vah, tâmaikhom a kum teh lukkareiim takhang koe a kangdue teh BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato.
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.
Hahoi tamimaya ni lukkareiim takhang koe tâmaikhom a kangdue e hah a hmu awh. Hat toteh, tamimaya teh a thaw awh teh, amamae rim takhang koehoi lengkaleng a bawk awh.
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.
Tami ni a hui a pato e patetlah, BAWIPA ni Mosi hah minhmai kâhmo laihoi a pato teh, roenae hmuen koe lah a ban. A san Nun capa thoundoun Joshua hateh lukkareiim cettakhai boihoeh.
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!
Mosi ni BAWIPA koevah, khenhaw! nang ni kai koevah hetnaw heh luenkhai loe ati. Hatei apimaw kai koe na patoun han tie teh na panuek sak hoeh rah. Hatei, nang ni na min lahoi na panue teh, ka mit dawk minhmai kahawi ka hmu, na ti pouh.
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.”
Hatdawkvah, na mit dawk minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, ka panue nahan hoi na mithmu vah pahrennae ka hmu thai nahanlah lamthung na panuek sak haw, telah ka kâhei. Hete miphun heh na tamimaya doeh tie hah pouk, telah ati.
14 Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
Ahni ni, nangmouh koe ka o vaiteh, kâhatnae na poe awh han atipouh.
15 Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
Ahni ni, kai koevah na cet hoehpawiteh, hete hmuen koehoi na tâcawt sak hanh.
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]
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh koe na cet laipalah kai hoi na taminaw teh na mithmu vah lungmanae ka hmu awh tie hah, bangtelamaw ka panue awh han. Hottelah talai van kaawm e taminaw pueng koehoi kai hoi na taminaw teh ka pek e lah ka o awh han, atipouh.
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.”
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, hot hai na dei e patetlah ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka mit dawk na kuep teh na min lahoi na panue telah atipouh.
18 Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
Ahni ni na bawilennae teh pahren lahoi na hmawt sak haw atipouh.
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.
Ahni ni, ka hawinae pueng heh na hmalah ka kamnue sak vaiteh, Jehovah min hah na hmalah ka pâpho han. Pahren han ka ngai e hah ka pahren vaiteh, ka lungma han ka ngai e pueng hah ka lungma han, atipouh.
20 But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
Hatei ahni ni, ka minhmai teh na hmawt thai mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh na ka hmawt e tami hring boihoeh, ati.
21 [But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
BAWIPA ni khenhaw! ka teng vah hmuen buet touh ao, lungsong van na kangdue han.
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.
Hahoi, ka bawilennae ni na ceihlawi navah, kâbawng e lungsong thungvah na ta han, na ceitakhai hoehroukrak ka kut hoi na tabuem han.
23 Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
Hahoi ka kut hah bout ka la vaiteh ka hnukthun hah na hmu han, hatei, ka minhmai teh na hmawt mahoeh, atipouh.
