Keluaran 33
1 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Tinggalkanlah tempat ini dan pergilah bersama bangsa yang kaubawa dari Mesir itu ke negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub serta keturunan mereka.
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 Aku akan mengutus seorang malaikat untuk membimbing kamu. Aku akan mengusir bangsa Kanaan, Amori, Het, Feris, Hewi dan Yebus.
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 Kamu menuju ke tanah yang kaya dan subur. Tetapi Aku sendiri tidak ikut dengan kamu, supaya kamu jangan Kubinasakan di tengah jalan, sebab kamu adalah bangsa yang keras kepala."
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 Kemudian TUHAN menyuruh Musa mengatakan kepada bangsa Israel, "Kamu bangsa yang keras kepala. Sekiranya Aku ikut dengan kamu biar sebentar saja, pasti kamu Kubinasakan sama sekali. Lepaskanlah segala perhiasanmu, maka Aku akan menentukan apa yang akan Kulakukan terhadapmu." Setelah mendengar teguran TUHAN itu, mereka sedih sekali seperti orang yang berkabung. Lalu mereka melepaskan perhiasan mereka. Jadi, sesudah meninggalkan Gunung Sinai, bangsa Israel tidak lagi memakai perhiasan.
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.
After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
7 Setiap kali, bila bangsa Israel berkemah, Musa mengambil Kemah dan mendirikannya agak jauh dari perkemahan mereka. Kemah itu disebut Kemah TUHAN, dan siapa yang ingin minta nasihat TUHAN, pergi ke situ.
[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 Kalau Musa pergi ke Kemah itu, orang-orang Israel berdiri di depan pintu kemah mereka dan memperhatikan Musa sampai ia masuk.
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 Sesudah Musa masuk, turunlah tiang awan dan berhenti di pintu Kemah. Dari awan itu TUHAN berbicara dengan Musa.
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 Pada waktu orang Israel melihat tiang awan di pintu Kemah TUHAN, mereka semua bangkit dan sujud di pintu kemah masing-masing.
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 TUHAN berbicara dengan Musa berhadapan muka, seperti orang berbicara dengan kawannya. Sesudah itu Musa kembali ke perkemahan. Tetapi Yosua anak Nun, seorang pemuda pembantu Musa, tetap tinggal di dalam Kemah itu.
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 Pada suatu hari Musa berkata kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, Engkau memerintahkan saya membimbing bangsa ini ke negeri yang Kaujanjikan. Tetapi Engkau tidak mengatakan siapa yang akan Kauutus untuk menolong saya. TUHAN, Engkau berkata bahwa Engkau mengenal saya, dan berkenan pada saya.
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 Kalau begitu, sudilah memberitahukan apa rencana-Mu, TUHAN, supaya saya dapat melayani Engkau dan tetap menyenangkan hati-Mu. Ingatlah juga bahwa bangsa ini sudah Kaupilih menjadi milik-Mu."
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 Kata TUHAN, "Kamu akan Kulindungi supaya dapat memiliki tanah yang Kujanjikan."
Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
15 Jawab Musa, "Kalau TUHAN tidak ikut dengan kami, jangan suruh kami meninggalkan tempat ini.
Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
16 Bagaimana orang akan tahu bahwa Engkau berkenan kepada saya dan kepada bangsa ini jika Engkau tidak menolong kami? Kehadiran TUHAN di tengah-tengah kami akan membedakan kami dari bangsa-bangsa lain di bumi."
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 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Permintaanmu akan Kukabulkan, sebab Aku mengenal engkau dan Aku berkenan kepadamu."
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 Lalu Musa memohon, "TUHAN, perlihatkanlah saya cahaya kehadiran-Mu."
Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
19 Jawab TUHAN, "Aku akan lewat dengan segala keagungan-Ku di depanmu, sambil mengucapkan nama-Ku yang suci. Akulah TUHAN, dan Aku menunjukkan kemurahan hati dan belas kasihan kepada orang-orang yang Kupilih.
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 Wajah-Ku tidak akan Kuperlihatkan kepadamu, sebab tak mungkin orang melihat Aku, dan tetap hidup.
But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
21 Di sebelah-Ku ini ada bukit batu; engkau dapat berdiri di situ.
[But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
22 Pada waktu cahaya kehadiran-Ku lewat, engkau Kumasukkan ke dalam sebuah celah dalam bukit batu itu dan Kututupi dengan tangan-Ku sampai Aku sudah lewat.
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 Lalu akan Kutarik tangan-Ku supaya engkau dapat melihat Aku dari belakang, tetapi wajah-Ku tidak akan kaulihat."
Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
