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.
The LORD spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
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.
I will send an angel before you; and I will drive 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 to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”
4 Ke mwet uh lohng kas inge, elos mutawauk in asor ac tung, ac tia sifilpa orekmakin mwe naweyuk.
When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewelry.
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.”
The LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, 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.
The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
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.
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” Everyone who sought the LORD went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside 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.
When Moses went out to the Tent, all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone 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.
When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and the LORD 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.
All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
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.
The LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from 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.
Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
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.”
Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”
14 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac wi kom, ac nga fah sot misla nu sum.”
He said, “My presence will go with 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.
Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
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 would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, 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.”
Moses said, “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.
He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the LORD’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”
20 Nga ac fah tia lela kom in liye mutuk, mweyen wangin mwet ku in liyeyu ac moul na,
He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
21 tusruktu oasr sie eot inge siskuk ma kom ku in tu fac.
The LORD also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand 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.
It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
23 Na nga fah eisla pouk, ac kom fah liye fin tuktuk, a kom fah tia liye mutuk.”
then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
