Mose 2 33
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kplɔ ame siwo nèkplɔ tso Egipte la, yi anyigba si ŋugbe medo na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi, elabena megblɔ be, ‘Matsɔ anyigba sia ana miaƒe dzidzimeviwo.’
Afterward the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Depart, goe vp from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought vp out of lande of Egypt) vnto the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak and to Iaakob, saying, Vnto thy seede will I giue it.
2 Madɔ Mawudɔla aɖe ɖa wòakplɔ mi, eye manya Kanaantɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo ɖa le anyigba la dzi.
And I will send an Angel before thee and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites:
3 Enye anyigba aɖe si dzi ‘notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo.’ Ke nyemazɔ kpli mi o, elabena mienye dukɔ kɔlialiatɔwo kple setemanɔlawo, eye mava di be matsrɔ̃ mi le mɔa dzi.”
To a lande, I say, that floweth with milke and hony: for I will not goe vp with thee, because thou art a stiffe necked people, least I consume thee in the way.
4 Esi ameawo se ŋɔdzinya siawo la, wode asi konyifafa me, eye woɖe woƒe sikanuwo kple atsyɔ̃ɖonuwo da ɖi.
And when the people heard this euill tydings, they sorowed, and no man put on his best rayment.
5 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be wòagblɔ na Israelviawo be, “Mienye aglãdzelawo kple kɔlialiatɔwo. Ne menɔ mia dome aɖabaƒoƒo ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã la, matsrɔ̃ mi. Miɖe miaƒe sikanuwo kple atsyɔ̃ɖonuwo da ɖi va se ɖe esime maɖo kpe nu si mawɔ kpli mi la dzi.”
(For the Lord had said to Moses, Say vnto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffe necked people, I wil come suddenly vpon thee, and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly rayment from thee, that I may know what to do vnto thee)
6 Ale le nu sia megbe la, Israelviwo megado sikanu aɖeke le Horeb.
So the children of Israel layed their good raiment from them, after Moses came downe from the mount Horeb.
7 Mose tua agbadɔ la ɣe sia ɣi ɖe adzɔge ʋĩi tso asaɖa la gbɔ. Ena ŋkɔe be, “Agbadɔ Hena Gododo Mawu.” Ame sia ame si di be yeaƒo nu kple Yehowa la yia afi ma.
Then Moses tooke his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host farre off from the hoste, and called it Ohel-moed. And whe any did seeke to the Lord, he went out vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the hoste.
8 Ne Mose yina agbadɔ la gbɔ la, ameawo katã tsia tsitre ɖe woƒe agbadɔwo nu, eye wonɔa Mose kpɔm va se ɖe esime wòaɖo agbadɔ la nu.
And when Moses went out vnto the Tabernacle, all the people rose vp, and stood euery man at his tent doore, and looked after Moses, vntil he was gone into the Tabernacle.
9 Ne ege ɖe agbadɔ la me la, lilikpo dodo aɖe ɖiɖina va nɔa agbadɔ la nu le esime Mawu ƒoa nu kple Mose.
And assoone as Moses was entred into the Tabernacle, the cloudie pillar descended and stood at the doore of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10 Ekema ameawo katã doa gbe ɖa eye wodea ta agu na lilikpo la le woƒe agbadɔwo nu.
Nowe when all the people saw the cloudie pillar stand at the Tabernacle doore, all the people rose vp, and worshipped euery man in his tent doore.
11 Yehowa ƒoa nu kple Mose ŋkume kple ŋkume le Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me abe ale si xɔlɔ̃ ƒoa nu kple xɔlɔ̃ ene. Le esia megbe la, Mose trɔna vaa asaɖa la me, ke Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu, ɖekakpui si kpena ɖe eŋu la, nɔa agbadɔ la me.
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his friende. After he turned againe into the hoste, but his seruant Ioshua the sonne of Nun a yong man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
12 Mose gblɔ na Yehowa le agbadɔ la me be, “Ègblɔna nam be, ‘Kplɔ dukɔ sia yi Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi.’ Ke mègblɔ ame si nàɖo ɖa kplim la nam o. Ègblɔ be yenyam kple nye ŋkɔ, eye yeƒe amenuveve la li kplim.
Then Moses sayde vnto the Lord, See, thou sayest vnto me, Leade this people forth, and thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt sende with mee: thou hast sayde moreouer, I knowe thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Ne esia le eme alea pɛpɛpɛ la, ekema meɖe kuku, fia wò mɔwom ale be mase wò ɖoɖowo gɔme, eye mawɔ nu si adze ŋuwò. Ɖo ŋku edzi be yeƒe dukɔe nye dukɔ sia.”
Nowe therefore, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, shewe mee nowe thy way, that I may knowe thee, and that I may finde grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people.
14 Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Nye ŋutɔ mayi kpli mi, eye mana nu sia nu nadze edzi na mi.”
And he answered, My presence shall go with thee, and I will giue thee rest.
15 Mose xɔ edzi be, “Ne mèle yiyi ge kpli mí o la, ekema mègana míaɖe afɔ ɖeka tso afi sia o.
Then he sayd vnto him, If thy presence go not with vs, cary vs not hence.
16 Ne mèyi kpli mí o la, ame kae akpɔ be wò amenuveve li kplim kple nye amewo? Ame kae akpɔ be míeto vovo tso dukɔ bubu ɖe sia ɖe si le anyigba dzi la gbɔ?”
And wherein nowe shall it be knowen, that I and thy people haue found fauour in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with vs? so I, and thy people shall haue preeminence before all the people that are vpon the earth.
17 Yehowa ɖo eŋu na Mose be, “Ɛ̃, mawɔ nu si nèbia la na wò, elabena vavã, nye amenuveve le dziwò, eye menya wò kple wò ŋkɔ.”
And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, I will doe this also that thou hast saide: for thou hast founde grace in my sight, and I knowe thee by name.
18 Mose bia Mawu be wòana yeakpɔ eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe.
Againe he sayde, I beseech thee, shewe me thy glory.
19 Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Mana nye ŋutikɔkɔe nato wò ŋkume ayi. Maɖe gbeƒã nye ŋkɔ Yehowa kple eƒe gɔmesese le ŋgɔwò. Mevea ame si nu medi be mave la nu, eye mekpɔa nublanui na ame si medi be makpɔ nublanui na.
And he answered, I wil make all my good go before thee, and I wil proclaime the Name of the Lord before thee: for I will shewe mercy to whom I will shewe mercy, and will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.
20 Ke màkpɔ nye ŋkume ya o, elabena ame aɖeke makpɔ nye ŋkume, eye wòaganɔ agbe o.
Furthermore he sayde, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and liue.
21 Tsi tsitre ɖe agakpe sia dzi le gbɔnye.
Also the Lord sayd, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand vpon the rocke:
22 Ne nye ŋutikɔkɔe tso eme va yina la, matsɔ wò ade agakpe la tome. Matsɔ nye asi atsyɔ dziwò va se ɖe esime matso eme.
And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rocke, and will couer thee with mine hand whiles I passe by.
23 Ekema maɖe nye asi ɖa, eye nàkpɔ yonyeme. Màkpɔ nye ŋkume ya o.”
After I will take away mine hande, and thou shalt see my backe parts: but my face shall not be seene.
