Baʼuu 33
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Atii fi sabni ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde kun asii baʼaatii gara biyya ani Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif, ‘Ani sanyii keetiif nan kenna’ jedhee kakadhe sanaa dhaqaa.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go forth, ascend from this place, you and your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To your offspring, I will give it.
2 Ani ergamaa koo fuula kee duraan ergee Kanaʼaanota, Amoorota, Heetota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota ariʼee nan baasa.
And I will send an Angel to precede you, so that I may cast out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
3 Gara biyya aannanii fi dammi keessaa burquu dhaqi. Garuu waan ati saba mata jabeessa taateef ani akka karaatti si hin balleessineef si wajjin hin deemu.”
and so that you may enter into a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, since you are a stiff-necked people, lest perhaps I may destroy you on the way.”
4 Jarri yommuu oduu hamaa kana dhagaʼanitti gadduu jalqaban; isaan keessaas namni tokko iyyuu faaya tokko illee hin kaaʼanne.
And upon hearing this very bad news, the people mourned; and no one put on his finery according to custom.
5 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedheeraatii; “Saba Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin saba mata jabeeyyii dha. Ani utuu yeruma muraasa illee isin wajjin deemee silaa isin balleessa ture; isin amma faayawwan keessan of irraa baasaa; anis waanan isin godhu nan murteessaa.’”
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to the sons of Israel: You are a stiff-necked people. I should at once go up into your midst and destroy you. Now immediately put aside your ornaments, so that I may know what to do to you.”
6 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Gaara Kooreeb biratti faayawwan isaanii of irraa baasan.
Therefore, the sons of Israel put aside their ornaments before Mount Horeb.
7 Museen dunkaana tokko fuudhee iddoo qubataa sana keessaa baasee achi fageessee dhaaba ture; dunkaana sanas, “dunkaana wal gaʼii” jedhee moggaase. Namni Waaqayyoon barbaadatu hundinuu iddoo qubataa sana keessaa baʼee gara dunkaana wal gaʼii sanaa dhaqa ture.
Also, Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it beyond the camp at a distance, and he called its name: ‘Tabernacle of the Covenant.’ And all the people, who had any kind of question, went out to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, beyond the camp.
8 Yeroo Museen baʼee gara dunkaana sanaa dhaqu hunda sabni hundinuu kaʼee balbala dunkaana ofii isaa dura dhaabatee hamma inni dunkaanicha seenutti ilaala ture.
And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and each one stood at the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses until he entered the tent.
9 Yeroo Museen dunkaana sana seenutti utubaan duumessaa gad buʼee balbala dunkaanichaa dura dhaabata ture; Waaqayyos Musee wajjin dubbata ture.
And when he had gone into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.
10 Sabni yeroo utubaa duumessaa kan balbala dunkaanaa dura dhaabatu argutti hundi isaa ol kaʼee tokkoon tokkoon namaa dunkaana ofii isaa duratti sagada ture.
And all discerned that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the Tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tents.
11 Waaqayyos akkuma nama michuu isaa wajjin haasaʼu tokkootti ifumaan ifatti Museetti dubbachaa ture. Ergasiis Museen iddoo qubataatti deebiʼa ture; gargaaraan isaa, Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni dargaggeessi suni garuu dunkaana sana biraa hin deemu ture.
But the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man is used to speaking to his friend. And when he returned to the camp, his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not withdraw from the Tabernacle.
12 Museen Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Ilaa, ati, ‘saba kana dura buʼii baasi’ naan jetteerta; garuu ana wajjin eenyun akka ergitu na hin beeksifne. Ati, ‘Ani maqaadhaan si beeka; ati na biratti fudhatama argateerta’ jette.
Then Moses said to the Lord: “You instruct me to lead this people away, and you do not reveal to me whom you will send with me, particularly since you have said: ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor before me.’
13 Ammas ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee yoon jiraadhe, akka ani si beekuu fi akka ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhuuf karaa kee na barsiisi; akka sabni kun saba kee taʼes yaadadhu.”
If, therefore, I have found favor in your sight, show your face to me, so that I may know you and may find grace before your eyes. Look favorably on your people, this nation.”
14 Waaqayyos deebisee, “Ani si wajjin nan deema; boqonnaas siifin kenna” jedhe.
And the Lord said, “My face will precede you, and I will give you rest.”
15 Museen immoo akkana jedheen; “Yoo ati nu wajjin deemuu baate, asii nu hin baasin.
And Moses said: “If you will not yourself precede us, then do not lead us away from this place.
16 Ati nu wajjin deemuu baannaan namni akkamiin akka ati anaa fi saba keetti gammaddu beeka? Wanni anaa fi saba kee saboota lafa irraa kaan hunda irraa addaan baasu biraa maali ree?”
For how will we be able to know, I and your people, that we have found grace in your sight, unless you walk with us, so that we may be glorified out of all the people who live upon the earth?”
17 Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan, “Ani waan ati amma kadhatte kana nan godha; ati fuula koo duratti ayyaana argatteertaatii; anis maqaadhaan si beeka” jedhe.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “This word also, which you have spoken, I will do. For you have found grace before me, and I have known you by name.”
18 Museenis, “Maaloo ulfina kee na argisiisi” jedhe.
And he said, “Show me your glory.”
19 Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedhe; “Ani gaarummaa koo hundumaa fuula kee dura nan dabarsa; maqaa Waaqayyoo fuula kee duratti nan labsa. Ani kanan maaru nan maara; kanan garaa laafuufiis garaa nan laafa.
He responded: “I will show you all that is good, and I will call out with the name of the Lord before you. And I will take pity on whomever I will, and I will be lenient to whomever it will please me.”
20 Garuu waan namni fuula koo argee jiraachuu hin dandeenyeef ati fuula koo arguu hin dandeessu.”
And again he said: “You are not able to see my face. For man shall not see me and live.”
21 Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Kunoo as na bira iddoon ati kattaa irra dhaabachuu dandeessu jira.
And again, he said: “Behold, there is a place with me, and you shall stand upon the rock.
22 Ani yeroo ulfinni koo darbuutti jiru holqa kattaa keessa si kaaʼee hamma ani darbutti harka kootiin si daʼeessa.
And when my glory will cross over, I will set you in a cleft of the rock, and I will protect you with my right hand, until I pass by.
23 Ergasiis ani harka koo nan fudhadha; atis dugda koo ni argita; fuulli koo garuu argamuu hin qabu.”
And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back. But my face you are not able to see.”
