< Ekoruhe 33 >

1 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere, turia atu ki runga, koutou ko te iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Ihipa, ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa, i mea ia, Ka hoatu e ahau ki ou uri:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, “Go, ascend from this [place], you and the people, whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed.
2 A ka unga he anahera e ahau ki mua i a koe, maku ano hoki e pei nga Kanaani, nga Amori, nga Hiti, nga Perihi, nga Hiwi, me nga Iepuhi:
And I have sent a Messenger before you, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
3 Ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi: e kore hoki ahau e haere atu i roto i a koe; he iwi kaki maro hoki koe: kei pau koe i ahau ki te ara.
[Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in your midst, for you [are] a stiff-necked people—lest I consume you in the way.”
4 A, i te rongonga o te iwi i tenei rongo kino, ka pouri, kihai ano i whakanohoia e tetahi ona whakapaipai.
And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
5 A i ki atu a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki nga tama a Iharaira, He iwi kaki maro koutou: kia mea kau ka puta atu ahau ki waenganui i a koe, a ka ngaro koe i ahau: na, whakarerea atu ou whakapaipai, a ka mohio ahau ki taku e mea ai ki a koe.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel: You [are] a stiff-necked people; [in] one moment I could come up into your midst and could have consumed you; and now, put down your ornaments from off you, and I know what I do to you”;
6 Na i aurutia e nga tama a Iharaira o ratou whakapaipai i Maunga Horepa ahu atu.
and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
7 Na tango ai a Mohi i te tapenakara ka whakatu ki waho o te puni ki tetahi wahi mamao atu i te puni, a huaina ana e ia, Ko te tapenakara o te whakaminenga. A i haere nga tangata katoa e rapu ana i a Ihowa, ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki wa ho o te puni.
And Moses takes the tent, and has stretched it out at the outside of the camp, far off from the camp, and has called it, “Tent of Meeting”; and it has come to pass, everyone seeking YHWH goes out to the Tent of Meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.
8 A, i a Mohi e haere ana ki te tapenakara ka whakatika te iwi katoa, a ka tu tera, tera, i te kuwaha o tona teneti, a ka titiro ki muri i a Mohi, a haere noa ia ki roto ki te tapenakara.
And it has come to pass, at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.
9 A, i a Mohi e haere ana ki roto ki te tapenakara, ka heke iho te pou kapuna, a tu ana i te whatitoka o te tapenakara, a ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi.
And it has come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud comes down, and has stood at the opening of the tent, and He has spoken with Moses;
10 A ko te kitenga o te iwi katoa i te pou kapua e tu ana i te whatitoka o te tapenakara, na ka whakatika te iwi katoa, ka koropiko hoki ia tangata, ia tangata, i te whatitoka o tona teneti.
and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.
11 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, he kanohi, he kanohi, pera hoki me te tangata e korero nei ki tona hoa. A hoki ana ia ki te puni: ko tana tangata ia, ko Hohua, tama a Nunu, kihai taua taitamariki i neke atu i roto i te tapenakara.
And YHWH has spoken to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend; and he has turned back to the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, does not depart out of the tent.
12 A i mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, Titiro, kua mea mai nei koe ki ahau, Kawea tenei iwi ki runga: a kahore i whakaaturia mai e koe ki ahau tau e unga ai hei hoa moku. Kua mea mai ano koe ki ahau, E mohio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tou ingoa hoki, kua manakoh ia ano koe e ahau.
And Moses says to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, Bring up this people, and You have not caused me to know whom You send with me; and You have said, I have known you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.
13 Na, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, tena, whakaaturia mai ki ahau ou ara, kia mohio ai ahau ki a koe, kia manakohia ai ahau e koe; kia mahara hoki he iwi nau tenei iwi.
And now, if, please, I have found grace in Your eyes, please cause me to know Your way, and I know You, so that I find grace in Your eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Your people”;
14 Na ka mea ia, Ka haere atu toku aroaro, a ka mea ahau i a koe kia okioki.
and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
15 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te kahore tou aroaro e haere, kaua matou e kawea ki runga i konei.
And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
16 Ma te aha hoki e mohiotia ai kua manakohia matou ko tau iwi e koe? he teka ianei mau kia haere tahi i a matou? penei ka motuhia matou ko tau iwi i nga iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua.
and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”
17 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Ko tenei mea ano i korerotia mai na e koe, ka rite i ahau: no te mea e manakohia ana koe e ahau, a e mohio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tou ingoa hoki.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
18 Na ka mea ia, Tena ra, whakakitea mai ki ahau tou kororia.
And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
19 Na ka mea ia, Ka meatia e ahau toku pai katoa kia haere atu i tou aroaro, a ka karangatia e ahau te ingoa o Ihowa i tou aroaro, ka atawhai hoki ahau i taku e atawhai ai, ka tohu hoki i taku e tohu ai.
and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”
20 I mea ano ia, E kore e taea e koe te titiro ki toku mata: e kore hoki tetahi tangata e titiro ki ahau, a e ora.
He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
21 I mea ano a Ihowa, Nana, he wahi tenei kei ahau, a me tu koe ki runga ki te kamaka:
YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
22 A, ka haere atu toku kororia, na, ka kawea koe e ahau ki roto ki te kapiti kohatu, a ka taupokina koe e ahau ki toku ringa, i ahau e haere atu ana:
and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,
23 A ka tangohia e ahau toku ringa, a ka kite koe i muri oku: ko toku mata ia e kore e kitea.
and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
