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.
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Fi ìhín yìí sílẹ̀, ìwọ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí o mú gòkè láti Ejibiti wá, kí ẹ sì gòkè lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí Èmi ti pinnu ní ìbúra fún Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò fi fún irú-ọmọ rẹ.’
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.
Èmi yóò rán angẹli ṣáájú yín, Èmi yóò sì lé àwọn Kenaani, àwọn ará Amori, àwọn ará Hiti, àwọn ará Peresi, àwọn ará Hifi àti àwọn ará Jebusi jáde.
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.”
Ẹ gòkè lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin. Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò ní lọ pẹ̀lú yín, nítorí ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle ni ẹ̀yin, kí èmi má ba à run yín ní ọ̀nà.”
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn náà gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìparun wọ̀nyí, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sì ní kùn, ẹnìkankan kò sì le è wọ ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ rẹ̀.
Nítorí Olúwa ti wí fún Mose pé, “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, ‘Ènìyàn Ọlọ́rùn líle ní ẹ̀yin, bí Èmi bá lè wá sí àárín yín ni ìṣẹ́jú kan, Èmi lè pa yín run. Nísìnsinyìí, bọ́ ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ rẹ kúrò, Èmi yóò sì gbèrò ohun tí Èmi yóò ṣe pẹ̀lú rẹ.’”
6 After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bọ́ ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ wọn kúrò lára wọn ní òkè Horebu.
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 máa ń gbé àgọ́ náà, ó sì pa á sí ìta ibùdó, ó jìnnà díẹ̀ sí ibùdó, ó pè é ni “Àgọ́ àjọ.” Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń béèrè Olúwa yóò lọ sí ibi àgọ́ àjọ náà ní ìta ibùdó.
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.
Nígbàkígbà tí Mose bá jáde lọ sí ibi àgọ́, gbogbo ènìyàn á dìde, wọ́n á sì dúró sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ wọn, wọn yóò máa wo Mose títí yóò fi wọ inú àgọ́ náà.
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.
Bí Mose ṣe wọ inú àgọ́ náà, ọ̀wọ́n àwọsánmọ̀ yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀, yóò sì dúró sí ẹnu ọnà, nígbà tí Olúwa ń sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú Mose.
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.
Nígbàkígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá rí i ti ọ̀wọ́n àwọsánmọ̀ bá dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́, gbogbo wọn yóò dìde wọn yóò sì sìn, olúkúlùkù ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ rẹ̀.
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.
Olúwa máa ń bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ lójúkojú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i pé ènìyàn ń bá ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ sọ̀rọ̀. Nígbà náà ni Mose yóò tún padà lọ sí ibùdó, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin Joṣua ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ọmọ Nuni kò fi àgọ́ sílẹ̀.
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 sọ fún Olúwa pé, “Ìwọ ti ń sọ fún mi, ‘Darí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí,’ ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò jẹ́ kí ń mọ ẹni tí ìwọ yóò rán pẹ̀lú mi. Ìwọ ti wí pé, ‘Èmi mọ̀ ọ́n nípa orúkọ, ìwọ sì ti rí ojúrere mi pẹ̀lú.’
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.”
Bí ìwọ bá ní inú dídùn pẹ̀lú mi, kọ́ mi ní ọ̀nà rẹ, kí èmi kí ó lè mọ̀ ọ́n, kí n sì le máa wá ojúrere rẹ pẹ̀lú. Rántí wí pé orílẹ̀-èdè yìí ènìyàn rẹ ni.”
14 Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
Olúwa dáhùn wí pé, “Ojú mi yóò máa bá ọ lọ, Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ìsinmi.”
15 Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
Nígbà náà ni, Mose wí fún un pé, “Bí ojú rẹ kò bá bá wa lọ, má ṣe rán wa gòkè láti ìhín lọ.
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]
Báwo ni ẹnikẹ́ni yóò ṣe mọ̀ pé inú rẹ dùn pẹ̀lú mi àti pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àyàfi ti o bá bá wa lọ? Kí ni yóò lè yà mí àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ kúrò lára gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ayé?”
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.”
Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé, “Èmi yóò ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ ti béèrè, nítorí inú mi dún sí o, Èmi sì mọ̀ ọ́n nípa orúkọ rẹ̀.”
18 Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
Mose sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí fi ògo rẹ hàn mí.”
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.
Olúwa sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò sì mú gbogbo ìre mí kọjá níwájú rẹ, Èmi yóò sì pòkìkí orúkọ Olúwa níwájú rẹ. Èmi yóò ṣàánú fún ẹni tí Èmi yóò ṣàánú fún, Èmi yóò sì ṣoore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún ẹni tí Èmi yóò ṣoore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún.
20 But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
Ṣùgbọ́n,” ó wí pé, “Ìwọ kò le è rí ojú mi, nítorí kò sí ènìyàn kan tí ń rí mi, tí ó lè yè.”
21 [But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
Olúwa sì wí pé, “Ibìkan wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi, níbi tí o ti lè dúró lórí àpáta.
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.
Nígbà tí ògo mi bá kọjá, Èmi yóò gbé ọ sínú pàlàpálá àpáta, Èmi yóò sì bò ọ́ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ mi títí Èmi yóò fi rékọjá.
23 Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
Nígbà tí Èmi yóò mú ọwọ́ mi kúrò, ìwọ yóò sì rí ẹ̀yìn mi; ṣùgbọ́n ojú mi ni o kò ní rí.”
