Exodus 33
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: Vade, ascende de loco isto tu, et populus tuus quem eduxisti de Terra Aegypti, in terram quam iuravi Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, dicens: Semini tuo dabo eam:
And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, thou and thy people, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.
2 et mittam praecursorem tui angelum, ut eiiciam Chananaeum, et Amorrhaeum, et Hethaeum, et Pherezaeum, et Hevaeum, et Iebusaeum,
And I will send at the same time my angel before thy face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
3 et intres in terram fluentem lacte et melle. Non enim ascendam tecum, quia populus durae cervicis est: ne forte disperdam te in via.
And I will bring thee into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee by the way.
4 Audiensque populus sermonem hunc pessimum, luxit: et nullus ex more indutus est cultu suo.
And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
5 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere filiis Israel: Populus durae cervicis es, semel ascendam in medio tui, et delebo te. Iam nunc depone ornatum tuum, ut sciam quid faciam tibi.
For the Lord said to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will shew thee what I will do to thee.
6 Deposuerunt ergo filii Israel ornatum suum a monte Horeb.
So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
7 Moyses quoque tollens tabernaculum, tetendit extra castra procul, vocavitque nomen eius, Tabernaculum foederis. Et omnis populus, qui habebat aliquam quaestionem, egrediebatur ad Tabernaculum foederis, extra castra.
And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without the camp.
8 Cumque egrederetur Moyses ad tabernaculum, surgebat universa plebs, et stabat unusquisque in ostio papilionis sui, aspiciebantque tergum Moysi, donec ingrederetur tentorium.
And whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
9 Ingresso autem illo tabernaculum foederis, descendebat columna nubis, et stabat ad ostium, loquebaturque cum Moyse,
And when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to Moses.
10 cernentibus universis quod columna nubis staret ad ostium Tabernaculi. Stabantque ipsi, et adorabant per fores tabernaculorum suorum.
And all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door of his tent.
11 Loquebatur autem Dominus ad Moysen facie ad faciem, sicut solet loqui homo ad amicum suum. Cumque ille reverteretur in castra, minister eius Iosue filius Nun, puer, non recedebat de Tabernaculo.
And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
12 Dixit autem Moyses ad Dominum: Praecipis ut educam populum istum: et non indicas mihi quem missurus es mecum, praesertim cum dixeris: Novi te ex nomine, et invenisti gratiam coram me.
And Moses said to the Lord, Lo! thou sayest to me, Lead on this people; but thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt send with me, but thou hast said to me, I know thee above all, and thou hast favour with me.
13 Si ergo inveni gratiam in conspectu tuo, ostende mihi faciem tuam, ut sciam te, et inveniam gratiam ante oculos tuos: respice populum tuum gentem hanc.
If then I have found favour in thy sight, reveal thyself to me, that I may evidently see thee; that I may find favour in thy sight, and that I may know that this great nation [is] thy people.
14 Dixitque Dominus: Facies mea praecedet te, et requiem dabo tibi.
And he says, I myself will go before thee, and give thee rest.
15 Et ait Moyses: Si non tu ipse praecedas, ne educas nos de loco isto.
And he says to him, If thou go not up with us thyself, bring me not up hence.
16 In quo enim scire poterimus ego et populus tuus invenisse nos gratiam in conspectu tuo, nisi ambulaveris nobiscum, ut glorificemur ab omnibus populis qui habitant super terram?
And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favour with thee, except only if thou go with us? So both I and thy people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.
17 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Et verbum istud, quod locutus es, faciam: invenisti enim gratiam coram me, et teipsum novi ex nomine.
And the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for thee this thing, which thou hast spoken; for thou hast found grace before me, and I know thee above all.
18 Qui ait: Ostende mihi gloriam tuam.
And [Moses] says, Manifest thyself to me.
19 Respondit: Ego ostendam omne bonum tibi, et vocabo in nomine Domini coram te: et miserebor cui voluero, et clemens ero in quem mihi placuerit.
And [God] said, I will pass by before thee with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before thee; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
20 Rursumque ait: Non poteris videre faciem meam: non enim videbit me homo, et vivet.
And [God] said, Thou shalt not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.
21 Et iterum: Ecce, inquit, est locus apud me, et stabis supra petram.
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: thou shalt stand upon the rock;
22 Cumque transibit gloria mea, ponam te in foramine petrae, et protegam dextera mea, donec transeam:
and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put thee into a hole of the rock; and I will cover thee over with my hand, until I shall have passed by.
23 tollamque manum meam, et videbis posteriora mea: faciem autem meam videre non poteris.
And I will remove my hand, and then shalt thou see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to thee.
