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 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 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 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 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.”
[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 Ke mwet uh lohng kas inge, elos mutawauk in asor ac tung, ac tia sifilpa orekmakin mwe naweyuk.
And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
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 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 Ouinge tukun mwet Israel elos fahsr liki Eol Sinai, elos tia sifil orekmakin mwe naweyuk.
and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Pacl se na mwet uh liye sru in pukunyeng ke acn in utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, elos ac pasrla.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac wi kom, ac nga fah sot misla nu sum.”
and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
15 Moses el sifil fahk, “Kom fin tia wi kut, nimet oru kut in som liki acn se inge.
And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up 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.”
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 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga ac oru oana ke kom siyuk, mweyen nga arulana etekom ac nga insewowo sum.”
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 Na Moses el fahk, “Nunak munas, lela nga in liye kalem wolana ma akkalemye lah kom oasr yorosr.”
And he says, “Please 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.
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 Nga ac fah tia lela kom in liye mutuk, mweyen wangin mwet ku in liyeyu ac moul na,
He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
21 tusruktu oasr sie eot inge siskuk ma kom ku in tu fac.
YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on 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 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 Na nga fah eisla pouk, ac kom fah liye fin tuktuk, a kom fah tia liye mutuk.”
and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
