Thaama 33
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Umai handũ haha, wee na andũ arĩa warutire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, mwambate bũrũri ũrĩa nderĩire Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu na mwĩhĩtwa ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngaũhe njiaro ciaku.’
And YHWH speaks to Moses, “Go, ascend from this [place], you and the people, whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed.
2 Nĩngũtũma mũraika mbere yanyu na nĩngaingata Akaanani, na Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi.
And I have sent a Messenger before you, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
3 Ambatai mũthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ. No niĩ ndigathiĩ na inyuĩ, tondũ mũrĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo na ndahota kũmũniinĩra njĩra-inĩ.”
[Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in your midst, for you [are] a stiff-necked people—lest I consume you in the way.”
4 Rĩrĩa andũ acio maiguire ciugo icio cia kũmathĩĩnia ngoro, makĩambĩrĩria gũcakaya na gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kwĩhumba mathaga.
And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
5 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩeerĩte Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo. Ingĩtwarana na inyuĩ o na kahinda kanini, ndahota kũmũniina. Rĩu rutai mathaga manyu, na nĩngũmenya ũrĩa ngwĩka na inyuĩ.’”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel: You [are] a stiff-necked people; [in] one moment I could come up into your midst and could have consumed you; and now, put down your ornaments from off you, and I know what I do to you”;
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩrutĩra mathaga mao hau kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horebu.
and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
7 Na rĩrĩ, Musa nĩamenyerete kuoya hema akamĩamba nja ya kambĩ ĩyo handũ haraaya na kambĩ, akamĩĩta “Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.” Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩendire gũtuĩria ũhoro kũrĩ Jehova, aathiiaga hema-inĩ ĩyo ya gũtũnganwo kũu nja ya kambĩ.
And Moses takes the tent, and has stretched it out at the outside of the camp, far off from the camp, and has called it, “Tent of Meeting”; and it has come to pass, everyone seeking YHWH goes out to the Tent of Meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.
8 Na rĩrĩa rĩothe Musa aathiiaga hema-inĩ, andũ othe mookĩraga makarũgama nja ya hema ciao, magacũthĩrĩria Musa nginya rĩrĩa arĩtoonya hema ĩyo.
And it has come to pass, at the going out of Moses to 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.
9 Musa agĩtoonya hema ĩyo, gĩtugĩ gĩa itu gĩaikũrũkaga gĩgaikara itoonyero-inĩ Jehova akĩaria na Musa.
And it has come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud comes down, and has stood at the opening of the tent, and He has spoken with Moses;
10 Rĩrĩa andũ mona gĩtugĩ kĩu gĩa itu kĩrũgamĩte itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema ĩyo, othe maarũgamaga makahooya o mũndũ arĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema yake.
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.
11 Jehova agakĩaria na Musa makĩonanaga ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ o ta ũrĩa mũndũ maaragia na mũratawe. Thuutha ũcio Musa agacooka kambĩ, no Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, mwanake ũrĩa wamũteithagia, ndoimaga hema-inĩ ĩyo.
And YHWH has spoken to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend; and he has turned back to the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, does not depart out of the tent.
12 Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Ũkoretwo ũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tongoria andũ aya,’ no ndũũmenyithĩtie ũrĩa ũkũndũmĩra tũthiĩ nake. Nĩũnjĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũũĩ na rĩĩtwa, na wĩ mwĩtĩkĩrĩku harĩ niĩ.’
And Moses says to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, Bring up this people, and You have not caused me to know whom You send with me; and You have said, I have known you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.
13 Angĩkorwo nĩũkenetio nĩ niĩ, menyithia njĩra ciaku nĩgeetha ngũmenye na thiĩ na mbere gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩwe. Ririkana atĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrũ nĩ andũ aku.”
And now, if, please, I have found grace in Your eyes, please cause me to know Your way, and I know You, so that I find grace in Your eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Your people”;
14 Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ Mwene nĩngũtwarana na inyuĩ na ndĩmũhe ũhurũko.”
and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
15 Nake Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ndũgũtwarana hamwe na ithuĩ, ndũgatũme tuume haha.
And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
16 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkĩmenya atĩa atĩ nĩũkenetio nĩ niĩ, na ũgakenio nĩ andũ aku, tiga no ũtwaranire na ithuĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩ kĩngĩonania ngũũrani yakwa na ya andũ aku kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ othe marĩ thĩ ĩno?”
and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”
17 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwĩka o ũrĩa ũnjũũrĩtie njĩke, tondũ nĩngenetio nĩwe, na nĩngũũĩ na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
18 Ningĩ Musa akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nyonia riiri waku ũrĩa ũtariĩ.”
And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
19 Nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtũma wega wakwa wothe ũhĩtũkĩre mbere yaku, na nĩngwanĩrĩra rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, Jehova, mbere yaku: Nĩndĩiguagĩra tha ũrĩa ndenda kũiguĩra tha, na nĩndĩcaayagĩra ũrĩa ndenda gũcaĩra.”
and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”
20 No Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩona ũthiũ wakwa, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩona ũthiũ wakwa na acooke atũũre muoyo.”
He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
21 Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ handũ hakuhĩ na niĩ, harĩa ũngĩrũgama igũrũ rĩa mwaro rwa ihiga.
YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
22 Rĩrĩa riiri wakwa ũrĩkorwo ũkĩhĩtũkĩra hau-rĩ, nĩndĩgũtoonyia mwanya-inĩ wa rwaro rũu rwa ihiga, ngũhumbĩre na guoko gwakwa nginya hĩtũke handũ hau.
and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,
23 Rĩrĩa ndĩrĩeheria guoko gwakwa, nawe nĩũrĩnyona na thuutha; no ũthiũ wakwa ndũngĩonwo.”
and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
