Pukaana 33
1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, o hele, e pii aku, o oe a me na kanaka au i alakai mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a i ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai ia Aberahama, a ia Isaaka, a ia Iakoba, i ka i ana iho, Ke haawi nei au ia na kau poe mamo.
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.
2 A e hoouna aku au i ko'u anela imua ou; a na'u no e kipaku aku i ka Kanaana, i ka Amora, i ka Heta, i ka Pereza, i ka Heva, a i ka Iebusa;
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.
3 A i ka aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka mele; no ka mea, aole au e pii aku iwaena ou, no ka mea, he poe kanaka a-i oolea oukou; o hoopau auanei au ia oe ma ke ala.
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.”
4 A lohe na kanaka i keia olelo o ka hewa, uwe iho la lakou, aohe kanaka i hookomo i kona kahiko ana.
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.
5 No ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova ia Mose, E i aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, He poe kanaka a-i oolea oukou: i ka minute hookahi, e pii aku no au iwaena konu ou, a e hoopau ia oe, Nolaila, e wehe oe i kou kahiko ana mai ou aku la, i ike au i ka mea e hana aku ai ia oe.
6 A wehe na mamo a Iseraela i ko lakou kahiko ana, ma ka mauna o Horeba.
After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
7 A lawe ae la o Mose i ka halelewa, a kukulu iho la mawaho o kahi e hoomoana'i, ma kahi mamao aku o ke kahua i hoomoana'i; a kapa ae la oia ia mea, o ka Halelewa o ke anaina kanaka. A o kela mea keia mea i imi ia Iehova, hele aku la ia iwaho i ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka, ka mea mawaho o kahi i hoomoana'i.
[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.
8 A i ka hele ana aku o Mose i ka halelewa, ala ae la na kanaka a pau iluna, a ku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka puka o kona halelewa, a nana aku la mahope o Mose, a hala ia iloko o ka halelewa.
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.
9 A i ko Mose komo ana iloko o ka halelewa, iho mai la ke kia ao, a ku ma ka puka o ka halelewa, a kamailio mai la [o Iehova] me Mose.
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.
10 A ike ae la na kanaka a pau i ke kia ao e ku ana ma ka puka o ka halelewa, a ku ae la na Kanaka a pau iluna, a hoomana aku la, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka puka o kona halelewa.
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.
11 A kamailio mai la o Iehova ia Mose, he maka no he maka, e like me ke kamailio ana o ke kanaka me kona hoa. A hoi aku la ia iloko o kahi e hoomoana'i, a me kana kauwa, o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna, he kanaka opiopio; aka, aole ia i hele iwaho o ka halelewa.
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.
12 I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, E nana hoi, ke olelo mai nei oe ia'u, E kai mai oe i keia poe kanaka; aole nae oe i hoike mai ia'u i ka mea au e hoouna pu ai me au. Aka, na olelo mai no, Ua ike no wau ia oe ma ka inoa, a e loaa ia oe ka lokomaikaiia i ko'u mau maka.
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!
13 Nolaila, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, ina i loaa ia'u ka lokomaikaiia i kou mau maka, e hoike mai oe ia'u i kou aoao, i ike aku au ia oe, i loaa ia'u ka lokomaikaiia i kou mau maka: a e hoomanao hoi, o kou aupuni no keia poe kanaka.
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.”
14 I mai la keia, E hele pa ne ko'u maka, a na'u no oe e hoomaha aku.
Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
15 I aka la keia, I ole e hele pu kou maka, mai lawe aku oe ia makou.
Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
16 Mahea la e ikeia'i ua loaa ia'u a me kou poe kanaka ka lokomaikaiia i kou maka? Aole anei ma kou hele pu ana me makou? A pela makou e hookaawaleia'i, owau a me ko'u poe kanaka, mai na kanaka e aka a pau loa e noho ana maluna o ka honua.
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]
17 Olelo mai la o Iehova, ia Mose, E hana no hoi au i keia mea au i olelo mai ai; no ka mea, ua loaa ia oe ka lokomaikaiia i ko'u maka, a ua ike aka au ia oe ma ka inoa.
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.”
18 A i aku la keia, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hoike mai oe i kou nani ia'u.
Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
19 Olelo mai la ia, E hoohele au i ko'u maikai a pau imua o kou maka, a e hea aku au i ka inoa o Iehova imua o kou maka; a e lokomaikai aka au i ka mea a'u e manao ai e lokomaikai aku, a e aloha aku au i ka mea a'u e manao ai e aloha aka.
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.
20 A i mai la ia, Aole hiki ia oe ke ike mai i ko'u maka; no ka mea, aohe kanaka e ike mai ia'u, a ola.
But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
21 A i mai la o Iehova, Aia kahi e kokoke ana ia'u, a e ku no oe maluna o ka pohaku.
[But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
22 A i ka wa e hele ae ko'u nani, e hookomo no wau ia oe iloko o ka mauae o ka pohaku, a e uhi aku au ia oe i ko'u lima, ia'u e hele ana'e.
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.
23 A e lawe aku au i ko'u lima, a e ike mai oe i ko'u kua; aka, aole e ikeia ko'u maka.
Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
