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 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 Ani ergamaa koo fuula kee duraan ergee Kanaʼaanota, Amoorota, Heetota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota ariʼee nan baasa.
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 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.”
[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 Jarri yommuu oduu hamaa kana dhagaʼanitti gadduu jalqaban; isaan keessaas namni tokko iyyuu faaya tokko illee hin kaaʼanne.
And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
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 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 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Gaara Kooreeb biratti faayawwan isaanii of irraa baasan.
and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at 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.
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 Yeroo Museen baʼee gara dunkaana sanaa dhaqu hunda sabni hundinuu kaʼee balbala dunkaana ofii isaa dura dhaabatee hamma inni dunkaanicha seenutti ilaala ture.
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 Yeroo Museen dunkaana sana seenutti utubaan duumessaa gad buʼee balbala dunkaanichaa dura dhaabata ture; Waaqayyos Musee wajjin dubbata ture.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 Waaqayyos deebisee, “Ani si wajjin nan deema; boqonnaas siifin kenna” jedhe.
and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
15 Museen immoo akkana jedheen; “Yoo ati nu wajjin deemuu baate, asii nu hin baasin.
And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up 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?”
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 Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan, “Ani waan ati amma kadhatte kana nan godha; ati fuula koo duratti ayyaana argatteertaatii; anis maqaadhaan si beeka” jedhe.
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 Museenis, “Maaloo ulfina kee na argisiisi” jedhe.
And he says, “Please 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.
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 Garuu waan namni fuula koo argee jiraachuu hin dandeenyeef ati fuula koo arguu hin dandeessu.”
He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
21 Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Kunoo as na bira iddoon ati kattaa irra dhaabachuu dandeessu jira.
YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
22 Ani yeroo ulfinni koo darbuutti jiru holqa kattaa keessa si kaaʼee hamma ani darbutti harka kootiin si daʼeessa.
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 Ergasiis ani harka koo nan fudhadha; atis dugda koo ni argita; fuulli koo garuu argamuu hin qabu.”
and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
