Eksodosy 33
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy hoe: Mandehana miakatra hiala atỳ ianao sy ny firenena izay nentinao niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ho amin’ ny tany izay nianianako tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba hoe: Ny taranakao no homeko azy.
Then the Lord told Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you led out of Egypt, and go to the land I promised with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, telling them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’
2 Ary haniraka Anjely Aho hitarika anao eo aloha (ka horoahiko ny Kananita sy ny Amorita sy ny Hetita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita),
I will send an angel out in front of you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
3 dia ho amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely; nefa tsy hiara-miakatra aminao Aho (satria olona mafy hatoka ianao), fandrao handringana anao eny an-dalana Aho.
Enter a land flowing with milk and honey, but I will not accompany you because you are a rebellious people. Otherwise I would destroy you on the way.”
4 Ary rehefa ren’ ny olona izany teny mampahory izany, dia nanjoretra izy, ka tsy nisy olona niravaka intsony.
When the people heard these words of criticism, they mourned and didn't put on their jewelry.
5 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Hianareo dia olona mafy hatoka; koa raha hiara-miakatra aminao Aho, na dia indray mipi-maso aza, dia handringana anao Aho; koa ankehitriny, esory ny firavakao hiala aminao, mba ho fantatro izay hataoko aminao.
For the Lord had previously told Moses, “Tell the people of Israel, ‘You are a rebellious people. If I was with you for just a moment, I would wipe you out. Now remove your jewelry, and I'll decide what to do with you.’”
6 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nanala ny firavany hatreo an-tendrombohitra Horeba.
So the Israelites took off their jewelry from the time they left Mount Sinai.
7 Ary fanaon’ i Mosesy ny maka ny lay ka manorina azy eo ivelan’ ny toby lavidavitra, ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Ny trano-lay fihaonana. Ary izay rehetra nitady an’ i Jehovah dia nivoaka ho eny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izay teo ivelan’ ny toby.
Moses used to set up the Tent of Meeting some way outside the camp. Anyone who wanted to ask the Lord anything could go out there to the Tent of Meeting.
8 Ary raha nivoaka ho eo amin’ ny lay Mosesy, dia nitsangana ny olona rehetra, ka samy nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy avy, dia nitazana an’ i Mosesy mandra-pahatongany ao amin’ ny lay.
Whenever Moses went out to the Tent, all the people would go and stand at the entrance of their tents. They would watch him until he had gone inside.
9 Ary raha niditra tao amin’ ny lay Mosesy, dia nidina ny andri-rahona ka nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lay, ary Jehovah dia niresaka tamin’ i Mosesy.
As soon as Moses went into the Tent, the cloud column would descend and stand in the doorway as the Lord spoke with Moses.
10 Ary hitan’ ny olona rehetra ny andri-rahona nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lay; dia nitsangana ny olona rehetra, ka samy niankohoka teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy avy.
When the people saw the cloud column standing in the doorway to the Tent, everyone would stand up and bow in worship at the entrance of their tents.
11 Ary Jehovah niteny nifanatrika tamin’ i Mosesy, tahaka ny olona miresaka amin’ ny sakaizany. Ary niverina nankeo amin’ ny toby izy; fa ny mpanompony, dia Josoa zatovo, zanak’ i Nona, tsy niala tamin’ ny lay.
Moses would speak to the Lord face to face as you would talk to a friend, and then returned to the camp. However, his young assistant Joshua, son of Nun, stayed in the Tent.
12 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Indro fa Hianao milaza amiko hoe: Ento miakatra ity firenena ity, ary Hianao tsy mbola nampahafantatra ahy izay hirahinao hiaraka amiko; kanefa Hianao efa nilaza hoe: Mahalala anao tokoa Aho, ary efa nahita fitia eo imasoko koa ianao.
Moses said to the Lord, “Look, you've been telling me, ‘Go and lead these people,’ but you haven't let me know who you're going to send with me. And yet you have stated, ‘I know you personally, and I'm happy with you.’
13 Koa ankehitriny, raha nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, dia ampahafantaro ny lalanao hahalalako Anao, mba hahitako fitia eo imasonao; ary hevero fa olonao ity firenena ity.
Now if it's true that you're happy with me, please teach me your ways so I can get to know you, and go on pleasing you. Remember that the people of this nation are yours.”
14 Dia hoy Izy: Ny Tavako no handeha, dia hanome anao fitsaharana Aho.
The Lord replied, “I myself will go with you, and I will support you.”
15 Fa hoy Mosesy taminy: Raha tsy handeha ny Tavanao, dia aza mitondra anay hiakatra hiala atỳ.
“If you don't go with us yourself, then please don't take us away from here,” Moses responded.
16 Fa inona anefa no hahafantarana fa nahita fitia eo imasonao izaho sy ny olonao? moa tsy amin’ ny handehananao miaraka aminay va? dia ho voavaka amin’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany izahay, dia izaho sy ny olonao.
“How will others know that you are happy with me, and with your people, if you don't accompany us? How would anyone tell us apart—me and your people—from every other people who live on the earth?”
17 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Izao zavatra nolazainao izao dia hataoko koa; fa nahita fitia eo imasoko ianao, ary mahalala anao tokoa Aho.
The Lord told Moses, “I promise do what you've asked, because I'm happy with you and I know you personally.”
18 Ary hoy Mosesy: Mba ampahitao ny voninahitrao aho.
“Now please reveal to me your glory,” Moses asked.
19 Fa hoy kosa Jehovah: Izaho hampandalo ny fahatsarako rehetra eo anatrehanao ka hanonona ny anaran’ i Jehovah eo anatrehanao; fa hiantra izay hiantrako Aho, ary hamindra fo amin’ izay hamindrako fo.
“I will make all the goodness of my character pass in front of you, I will call out the name ‘Yahweh,’ I will show grace to those I want to show grace, and I will show mercy to those I want to show mercy.
20 Ary hoy koa Izy: Tsy mahazo mahita ny tavako ianao; fa tsy misy olona mahita Ahy ka ho velona.
But you won't be able to see my face, because no one can see my face and live.”
21 Dia hoy Jehovah: Indro, misy fitoerana eto anilako; dia hijanona eo ambonin’ ny harambato ianao;
“Come here and stand by me on this rock,” the Lord went on,
22 koa raha mandalo ny voninahitro, dia hataoko eo an-tsefaky ny harambato ianao, ka hosaronako ny tanako ianao mandra-pandaloko.
“and as my glory goes by I'll put you in a crevice of the rock, and I'll cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Dia hanaisotra ny tanako Aho, ka hahita ny vohoko ianao; fa ny tavako tsy ho hita.
Then I'll take my hand away and you'll see my back; but you won't see my face.”
