Exodus 33

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fahsr liki acn se inge, kom ac mwet su kom use liki Egypt, ac fahsr nu ke facl se su nga wulela in sang nu sel Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, ac nu sin fwil natulos.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go forth, ascend from this place, you and your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To your offspring, I will give it.

2 Nga ac supwaot sie lipufan in pwen kom, ac nga fah lusla mwet Canaan, mwet Amor, mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus.

And I will send an Angel to precede you, so that I may cast out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,

3 Kom ac som nu in sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we. Tusruktu nga sifacna ac tia wi kowos, mweyen kowos mwet likkeke, sahp nga ac kunauskowosla inkanek lowos.”

and so that you may enter into a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, since you are a stiff-necked people, lest perhaps I may destroy you on the way.”

4 Ke mwet uh lohng kas inge, elos mutawauk in asor ac tung, ac tia sifilpa orekmakin mwe naweyuk.

And upon hearing this very bad news, the people mourned; and no one put on his finery according to custom.

5 Meyen LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses in fahk nu selos, “Kowos mwet likkeke. Nga fin ac wi kowos, finne ke kitin pacl na, nga ac ku in arulana kunauskowosla. Eisla mwe naweyuk lowos an inge, ac nga fah nunku lah mea nga ac oru nu suwos.”

And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to the sons of Israel: You are a stiff-necked people. I should at once go up into your midst and destroy you. Now immediately put aside your ornaments, so that I may know what to do to you.”

6 Ouinge tukun mwet Israel elos fahsr liki Eol Sinai, elos tia sifil orekmakin mwe naweyuk.

Therefore, the sons of Israel put aside their ornaments before Mount Horeb.

7 Pacl nukewa mwet Israel elos tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos uh, Moses el ac usla Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac tulokunak ke sie acn ma loes kutu liki nien aktuktuk uh. El pangon lohm nuknuk sac Iwen Tukeni Ye Mutun LEUM GOD. Kutena mwet su lungse lolngok yurin LEUM GOD ac illa liki nien aktuktuk ac som nu we.

Also, Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it beyond the camp at a distance, and he called its name: ‘Tabernacle of the Covenant.’ And all the people, who had any kind of question, went out to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, beyond the camp.

8 Pacl nukewa Moses el illa in som nu ke Lohm Nuknuk sac, mwet uh ac tu ke nien utyak nu ke lohm nuknuk selos ac ngetla liyal Moses nwe ke el utyak nu loac.

And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and each one stood at the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses until he entered the tent.

9 Tukun Moses el utyak, sru in pukunyeng uh ac oatui lucng me ac tu ke nien utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk uh, ac LEUM GOD El ac kaskas nu sel Moses liki pukunyeng uh me.

And when he had gone into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.

10 Pacl se na mwet uh liye sru in pukunyeng ke acn in utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, elos ac pasrla.

And all discerned that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the Tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tents.

11 LEUM GOD El ac kaskas nu sel Moses ngetani nu sie, oana ke sie mwet el sramsram nu sin mwet kawuk lal. Toko Moses el ac folokla nu nien aktuktuk uh. Tusruktu Joshua, wen natul Nun, su mwet kasru fusr lal, el mutana in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.

But the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man is used to speaking to his friend. And when he returned to the camp, his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not withdraw from the Tabernacle.

12 Moses el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Pwaye lah kom fahk nu sik in kolla mwet inge nu ke facl sac, tusruktu kom tiana fahkma nu sik lah su ac wiyu som. Kom fahk mu kom arulana eteyu ac kom insewowo sik.

Then Moses said to the Lord: “You instruct me to lead this people away, and you do not reveal to me whom you will send with me, particularly since you have said: ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor before me.’

13 Fin pwaye, nga kwafe sum in fahkma nunak lom, tuh ngan ku in kulansupwekom ac oru na ma ac akinsewowoye kom. Esam pac lah kom sulela mutanfahl se inge tuh elos in mwet lom.”

If, therefore, I have found favor in your sight, show your face to me, so that I may know you and may find grace before your eyes. Look favorably on your people, this nation.”

14 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac wi kom, ac nga fah sot misla nu sum.”

And the Lord said, “My face will precede you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Moses el sifil fahk, “Kom fin tia wi kut, nimet oru kut in som liki acn se inge.

And Moses said: “If you will not yourself precede us, then do not lead us away from this place.

16 Mwet uh ac etu fuka lah kom insewowo sin mwet lom ac insewowo sik kom fin tia wi kut? Oasr lom yorosr uh pa ac akkalemye lah kut sie liki mutunfacl nukewa saya fin faclu.”

For how will we be able to know, I and your people, that we have found grace in your sight, unless you walk with us, so that we may be glorified out of all the people who live upon the earth?”

17 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga ac oru oana ke kom siyuk, mweyen nga arulana etekom ac nga insewowo sum.”

Then the Lord said to Moses: “This word also, which you have spoken, I will do. For you have found grace before me, and I have known you by name.”

18 Na Moses el fahk, “Nunak munas, lela nga in liye kalem wolana ma akkalemye lah kom oasr yorosr.”

And he said, “Show me your glory.”

19 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Nga ac oru tuh wolana luk nukewa in fahsr ye motom, ac nga fah fahkak Ine lukma luk yen kom oasr we. Nga pa LEUM GOD, ac nga fah fahkak kulang ac pakoten nu selos su nga sulela in oru nu se.

He responded: “I will show you all that is good, and I will call out with the name of the Lord before you. And I will take pity on whomever I will, and I will be lenient to whomever it will please me.”

20 Nga ac fah tia lela kom in liye mutuk, mweyen wangin mwet ku in liyeyu ac moul na,

And again he said: “You are not able to see my face. For man shall not see me and live.”

21 tusruktu oasr sie eot inge siskuk ma kom ku in tu fac.

And again, he said: “Behold, there is a place with me, and you shall stand upon the rock.

22 Pacl se kalem wolana luk sun acn inge, nga fah filikomi ke lufin eot uh ac afinkomi ke pouk nwe ke nga alukela.

And when my glory will cross over, I will set you in a cleft of the rock, and I will protect you with my right hand, until I pass by.

23 Na nga fah eisla pouk, ac kom fah liye fin tuktuk, a kom fah tia liye mutuk.”

And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back. But my face you are not able to see.”
