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 unto Moses, Depart, go up from here, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it; —
2 et mittam praecursorem tui angelum, ut eiiciam Chananaeum, et Amorrhaeum, et Hethaeum, et Pherezaeum, et Hevaeum, et Iebusaeum,
And I will send before thee an angel; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Emorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; —
3 et intres in terram fluentem lacte et melle. Non enim ascendam tecum, quia populus durae cervicis est: ne forte disperdam te in via.
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, because thou art a stiffnecked people; lest I consume thee on the way.
4 Audiensque populus sermonem hunc pessimum, luxit: et nullus ex more indutus est cultu suo.
And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned; and no man did put his ornaments on him.
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 unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; should I go up one moment in the midst of thee, I would consume thee; now therefore put off thy ornaments from thee, and I shall know what I will do unto thee.
6 Deposuerunt ergo filii Israel ornatum suum a monte Horeb.
The children of Israel then stripped themselves of their ornaments [they wore] from [the time they were at] 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.
And Moses took the tent, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it, Tabernacle of the congregation; and it came to pass, that every one who sought [instruction of] the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 it came to pass, that when Moses went out unto the tent, all the people would rise up, and stand every man at the door of his tent, and look after Moses, until he was gone into the tent.
9 Ingresso autem illo tabernaculum foederis, descendebat columna nubis, et stabat ad ostium, loquebaturque cum Moyse,
And it came to pass, that as Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tent, and spoke with Moses.
10 cernentibus universis quod columna nubis staret ad ostium Tabernaculi. Stabantque ipsi, et adorabant per fores tabernaculorum suorum.
And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the tent: then all the people rose up and prostrated themselves, every man 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 unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and then he returned into the camp; but his servant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tent.
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 unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me: and yet thou hast said, I have chosen thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my eyes.
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.
Now, therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy eyes, do make me know thy way, that I may know thee, in order that I may find grace in thy eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people.
14 Dixitque Dominus: Facies mea praecedet te, et requiem dabo tibi.
And he said, My presence shall go in advance, and I will give thee rest.
15 Et ait Moyses: Si non tu ipse praecedas, ne educas nos de loco isto.
And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with us, ] carry us not up from here.
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?
For wherein shall it be known in any wise that I have found grace in thy eyes, I with thy people? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of 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 unto Moses, Also this thing that thou hast spoken will I do; for thou hast found grace in my eyes, and I have chosen thee by name.
18 Qui ait: Ostende mihi gloriam tuam.
And he said, Let me see, I beseech thee, 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 said, I will cause all my goodness to pass before thy face, and I will proclaim, by name, the Lord before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy.
20 Rursumque ait: Non poteris videre faciem meam: non enim videbit me homo, et vivet.
And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for no man can see me, 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, and thou shalt stand upon the rock:
22 Cumque transibit gloria mea, ponam te in foramine petrae, et protegam dextera mea, donec transeam:
And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in the cleft of the rock, and I will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.
23 tollamque manum meam, et videbis posteriora mea: faciem autem meam videre non poteris.
And then I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen.
