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:

Afterward the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Depart, goe vp from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought vp out of lande of Egypt) vnto the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak and to Iaakob, saying, Vnto thy seede will I giue it.

2 et mittam praecursorem tui angelum, ut eiiciam Chananaeum, et Amorrhaeum, et Hethaeum, et Pherezaeum, et Hevaeum, et Iebusaeum,

And I will send an Angel before thee and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites:

3 et intres in terram fluentem lacte et melle. Non enim ascendam tecum, quia populus durae cervicis est: ne forte disperdam te in via.

To a lande, I say, that floweth with milke and hony: for I will not goe vp with thee, because thou art a stiffe necked people, least I consume thee in the way.

4 Audiensque populus sermonem hunc pessimum, luxit: et nullus ex more indutus est cultu suo.

And when the people heard this euill tydings, they sorowed, and no man put on his best rayment.

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 had said to Moses, Say vnto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffe necked people, I wil come suddenly vpon thee, and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly rayment from thee, that I may know what to do vnto thee)

6 Deposuerunt ergo filii Israel ornatum suum a monte Horeb.

So the children of Israel layed their good raiment from them, after Moses came downe from the mount Horeb.

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.

Then Moses tooke his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host farre off from the hoste, and called it Ohel-moed. And whe any did seeke to the Lord, he went out vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the hoste.

8 Cumque egrederetur Moyses ad tabernaculum, surgebat universa plebs, et stabat unusquisque in ostio papilionis sui, aspiciebantque tergum Moysi, donec ingrederetur tentorium.

And when Moses went out vnto the Tabernacle, all the people rose vp, and stood euery man at his tent doore, and looked after Moses, vntil he was gone into the Tabernacle.

9 Ingresso autem illo tabernaculum foederis, descendebat columna nubis, et stabat ad ostium, loquebaturque cum Moyse,

And assoone as Moses was entred into the Tabernacle, the cloudie pillar descended and stood at the doore of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.

10 cernentibus universis quod columna nubis staret ad ostium Tabernaculi. Stabantque ipsi, et adorabant per fores tabernaculorum suorum.

Nowe when all the people saw the cloudie pillar stand at the Tabernacle doore, all the people rose vp, and worshipped euery man in his tent doore.

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 spake vnto Moses, face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his friende. After he turned againe into the hoste, but his seruant Ioshua the sonne of Nun a yong man, departed not out of 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.

Then Moses sayde vnto the Lord, See, thou sayest vnto me, Leade this people forth, and thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt sende with mee: thou hast sayde moreouer, I knowe thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

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.

Nowe therefore, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, shewe mee nowe thy way, that I may knowe thee, and that I may finde grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people.

14 Dixitque Dominus: Facies mea praecedet te, et requiem dabo tibi.

And he answered, My presence shall go with thee, and I will giue thee rest.

15 Et ait Moyses: Si non tu ipse praecedas, ne educas nos de loco isto.

Then he sayd vnto him, If thy presence go not with vs, cary vs not 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 wherein nowe shall it be knowen, that I and thy people haue found fauour in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with vs? so I, and thy people shall haue preeminence before all the people that are vpon 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 sayde vnto Moses, I will doe this also that thou hast saide: for thou hast founde grace in my sight, and I knowe thee by name.

18 Qui ait: Ostende mihi gloriam tuam.

Againe he sayde, I beseech thee, shewe me thy glory.

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 he answered, I wil make all my good go before thee, and I wil proclaime the Name of the Lord before thee: for I will shewe mercy to whom I will shewe mercy, and will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.

20 Rursumque ait: Non poteris videre faciem meam: non enim videbit me homo, et vivet.

Furthermore he sayde, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and liue.

21 Et iterum: Ecce, inquit, est locus apud me, et stabis supra petram.

Also the Lord sayd, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand vpon the rocke:

22 Cumque transibit gloria mea, ponam te in foramine petrae, et protegam dextera mea, donec transeam:

And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rocke, and will couer thee with mine hand whiles I passe by.

23 tollamque manum meam, et videbis posteriora mea: faciem autem meam videre non poteris.

After I will take away mine hande, and thou shalt see my backe parts: but my face shall not be seene.
