Exodus 33
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, 'Go, ascend from this [place], thou and the people, whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it,'
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Vva mu kifo kino ogende, ggwe n’abantu be waggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, olage mu nsi gye nalayirira Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo, nga njogera nti, ‘Ndigiwa bazzukulu bammwe.’
2 (and I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, )
Ndiweereza malayika abakulemberenga; era ndigobamu Abakanani, n’Abamoli, n’Abakiiti, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi n’Abayebusi.
3 unto a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in thy midst, for thou [art] a stiff-necked people — lest I consume thee in the way.'
Yambuka mu nsi ekulukutiramu amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki. Naye sijja kugenda nammwe; sirwa kubazikiririza mu kkubo, kubanga muli bantu ab’ensingo enkakanyavu.”
4 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none put his ornaments on him.
Abantu bwe baawulira amawulire ago ag’ennaku, ne bakungubaga ne watabaawo ayambala eby’omu matu wadde eby’oku mikono ebyokwewoomya.
5 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people; one moment — I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;'
Kubanga Mukama yali alagidde Musa nti, “Gamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Mulina omutima omukakanyavu, era singa ntambula nammwe okumala akaseera wadde katono katya, nzija kubazikiriza. Kale kaakano mweyambulemu ebyokwewoomya byammwe, ndyoke ndabe kye nnaakola.’”
6 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at mount Horeb.
Bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri ne beeyambulamu eby’obugagga byabwe nga bali ku lusozi Kolebu.
7 And Moses taketh the tent, and hath stretched it out at the outside of the camp, afar off from the camp, and hath called it, 'Tent of Meeting;' and it hath come to pass, every one seeking Jehovah goeth out unto the tent of meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.
Kale, Musa yaddiranga eweema n’agisimba ebweru w’olusiisira, ewala ddala n’olusiisira; n’agiyita Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Ne buli eyeetaaganga Mukama, ng’agenda awali Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, eyali ebweru w’olusiisira.
8 And it hath come to pass, at the going out of Moses unto the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.
Era buli Musa lwe yafulumanga n’alaga eri Eweema, abantu bonna nga bayimirira mu miryango gy’eweema zaabwe ne batunuulira Musa okutuusa lwe yayingiranga mu Weema.
9 And it hath come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud cometh down, and hath stood at the opening of the tent, and He hath spoken with Moses;
Musa bwe yayingiranga mu Weema, empagi ey’ekire n’ekka n’eyimirira mu mulyango gw’Eweema; Mukama n’alyoka ayogera ne Musa.
10 and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.
Abantu bwe baalabanga ng’empagi ey’ekire eyimiridde mu mulyango gw’Eweema, bonna ne basituka ne basinza, buli omu mu mulyango gw’eweema ye.
11 And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and he hath turned back unto the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth not out of the tent.
Bw’atyo Mukama bwe yayogeranga ne Musa nga batunulaganye, ng’omuntu bw’ayogera ne mukwano gwe. Musa bwe yaddangayo mu lusiisira, omuweereza we, omuvubuka Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, ye n’asigalayo mu Weema.
12 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'See, Thou art saying unto me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes.
Musa n’agamba Mukama nti, “Obadde ontegeeza nti, ‘Kulembera abantu bano,’ naye omuntu gw’onontuma naye tomuntegeezezza. Ogambye nti, ‘Nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo, era onsanyusizza.’
13 'And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Thy people;'
Obanga nkusanyusizza, njigiriza amakubo go ndyoke nkumanye era nneeyongeranga okukusanyusa. Jjukira nti eggwanga lino be bantu bo.”
14 and He saith, 'My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.'
Mukama n’addamu nti, “Nnaagendanga naawe, era nnaakuwummuzanga.”
15 And he saith unto Him, 'If Thy presence is not going — take us not up from this [place];
Musa n’amugamba nti, “Obanga toogende naffe, totuggya wano.
16 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Thine eyes — I and Thy people — is it not in Thy going with us? and we have been distinguished — I and Thy people — from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.'
Kale abantu balitegeerera ku ki nga Nkusanyusizza, nze n’abantu bo? Si lwa kubanga onooba ogenze naffe, ne tuba ba njawulo, nze n’abantu bo, nga twawukana ku bantu bonna ab’oku nsi?”
17 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Even this thing which thou hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I know thee by name.'
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kukola ekyo kyennyini ky’osabye; onsanyusizza, era nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo.”
18 And he saith, 'Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;'
Musa n’agamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ndaga ekitiibwa kyo.”
19 and He saith, 'I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.'
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Nzija kuggyayo obulungi bwange bwonna nga mbuyisa mu maaso go. Era nzija kukutegeeza erinnya lyange, Mukama. Buli gwe nnaayagalanga okukwatirwa ekisa, nnaamukwatirwanga ekisa, ne buli gwe nnaayagalanga okusaasira nnaamusaasiranga.”
20 He saith also, 'Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'
Era n’agamba nti, “Naye toyinza kulaba maaso gange, kubanga tewali muntu antunulako n’aba mulamu.”
21 Jehovah also saith, 'Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Waliwo wano okumpi nange ekifo ku lwazi kw’onooyimirira.
22 and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,
Ekitiibwa kyange bwe kinaaba kiyitawo, nnaakuteeka mu mpataanya mu lwazi, ne nkubikkako omukono gwange okutuusa lwe nnaamala okuyitawo.
23 and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.'
Oluvannyuma omukono gwange nnaaguggyawo, n’olaba amabega gange; naye tojja kulaba ku maaso gange.”
