< Exodus 33 >

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt. Go to the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, when I said, 'I will give it to your descendants.'
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae ahmuen hae caehtaak ah loe, Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah, Na caanawk khaeah ka paek han, tiah lokkam ih, prae thungah Izip prae thung hoi na zaehhoih ih kaminawk hoi nawnto caeh oh;
2 I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
kai ih van kami to na hmaa ah ka patoeh han, anih mah Kannaan, Amor, Hit, Periz, Hiv hoi Jebus kaminawk to haek boih tih.
3 Go to that land, which is flowing with milk and honey, but I will not go up with you, because you are a stubborn people. I might destroy you on the way.”
Khoitui hoi tahnutui longhaih prae ah caeh oh; toe kai loe nangcae salakah ka caeh mak ai; palungthah kami ah na oh o pongah, loklam ah kam rosak boih moeng tih, tiah a naa.
4 When the people heard these troubling words, they mourned, and no one put on any jewelry.
Kaminawk mah to baktih tamthang kasae to thaih o naah, palungset o moe, mi doeh amthoephaih khukbuen to angkhuk o ai.
5 Yahweh had said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, 'You are a stubborn people. If I went among you for even one moment, I would destroy you. So now, take off your jewelry so that I may decide what to do with you.'”
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; nangcae loe palungthah kami ah na oh o; nangcae hae nawnetta thung kang caeh haih nahaeloe, kam rosak boih moeng tih; nangcae to kawbang maw kang sak han, tiah ka panoek hanah, nam thoep o haih hmuennawk to angkhring oh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
6 So the Israelites wore no jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
To pongah Israel kaminawk mah Horeb mae ah amthoephaih hmuennawk to angkhring o boih.
7 Moses took a tent and pitched it outside the camp, some distance from the camp. He called it the tent of meeting. Everyone who asked Yahweh for anything went out to the tent of meeting, outside the camp.
Mosi mah ataihaih ahmuen tasa bang, kangthla kue ahmuen ah, kahni im to sak moe, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im, tiah a kawk. Angraeng pakrong han koeh kami boih loe, ataihaih ahmuen tasa bangah sak ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah caeh o nasoe.
8 When Moses would go out to the tent, all the people would stand up at their tent entrances and look at Moses until he had gone inside.
Mosi kahni im ah caeh naah, kaminawk boih angthawk o moe, angmacae kahni im thok taengah angdoet o; Mosi kahni imthung ah akun ai karoek to a khet o.
9 Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stand at the tent entrance, and Yahweh would speak with Moses.
Mosi kahni imthung ah akun naah, tamai tung loe kahni im akunhaih thok taengah krak tathuk; to naah Mosi hoi Angraeng to lok apaeh hoi.
10 Whenever all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the entrance to the tent, they would get up and worship, every man at his own tent entrance.
Kaminawk boih mah, kahni imthung akunhaih thok taengah angdoe tamai tung to hnuk o naah, kaminawk boih angmacae ih kahni im thok taengah angdoet o moe, a bok o.
11 Yahweh would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, would stay in the tent.
Kami mah angmah ih ampui hoi lok apaeh baktih toengah, Angraeng hoi Mosi doeh mikhmai kangtong ah lok apaeh hoi; to pacoengah Mosi loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem let; toe anih bomkung, thendoeng, Nun capa Joshua loe kahni im to caehtaak ai.
12 Moses said to Yahweh, “See, you have been saying to me, 'Take this people on their journey,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my eyes.'
Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah, Khenah, Nang mah ih hae kaminawk to zaehhoih hanah nang thuih; toe kai abomh han kaminawk to nang panoeksak ai; na hmin to ka panoek moe, nang loe ka mikhnuk naakrak ah na oh, tiah nang naa.
13 Now if I have found favor in your eyes, show me your ways so that I may know you and continue to find favor in your eyes. Remember that this nation is your people.”
To pongah ka nuiah palung nang hoe nahaeloe, kai nang tahmen, tito ka panoek thai hanah, na loklam to na patuek ah; hae acaengnawk loe nang ih kami ni, tiah panoek poe ah, tiah a hnik.
14 Yahweh answered, “My own presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Angraeng mah kang caeh o haih poe moe, anghakhaih kang paek o han, tiah a naa.
15 Moses said to him, “If your presence does not go with us, do not take us up from here.
To naah Mosi mah anih khaeah, Kai nang caeh haih ai nahaeloe, kaicae hae ahmuen hoiah na patoeh hmah.
16 For otherwise, how will it be known that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people? Will it not only be if you go with us so that I and your people are different from all the other peoples that are on the surface of the earth?”
Kai hoi nang ih kaminawk loe, na hmaa ah mikcuk naakrak ah ni kho a sak o, tito kawbang maw panoek thai tih? Kaicae hoi nawnto na caeh naah na ai maw amtueng tih? To tiah ni kai hoi nang ih kaminawk loe long nuiah kaom kaminawk boih thung hoiah kalah ta kami ah om o tih, tiah a naa.
17 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have requested, for you have found favor in my eyes, and I know you by name.”
To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka sak han; nang loe ka mikcuk naakrak ah na oh; nang loe nangmah ih ahmin hoiah ni kang panoek boeh, tiah a naa.
18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
Mosi mah anih khaeah, Vaihi na lensawkhaih amtuengsak ah, tiah a naa.
19 Yahweh said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim my name 'Yahweh' before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”
Angraeng mah, Na hmaa ah Kaih ih hoihaihnawk boih to ka caehsak moe, Angraeng ih ahmin to na hmaa ah ka taphong han; tahmenhaih ka tawnh ih kaminawk nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh moe, tahmenhaih kam tuengsak ih kaminawk nuiah tahmenhaih to kam tuengsak han.
20 But Yahweh said, “You may not see my face, for no one can see me and live.”
Toe ka mikhmai loe na hnu mak ai; ka mikhmai hnu kami loe, hing mak ai, tiah a naa.
21 Yahweh said, “See, here is a place by me; you will stand on this rock.
To pacoengah Angraeng mah, Khenah, ka taengah ahmuen maeto oh; nang loe lungsong nuiah angdoe tih;
22 While my glory passes by, I will put you in a crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
ka lensawkhaih amtueng naah, nang loe kakoi lungsong thungah kang suek moe, Ka laem ai karoek to, ka ban hoiah kang tamuep han.
23 Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be seen.”
Ka ban to ka zuh naah loe, ka hnukbang to na hnu tih; toe ka mikhmai loe na hnu mak ai, tiah a naa.
