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 said to Moses, Depart [and] go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast conducted from the land of Egypt, to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, to thy seed will I 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 before thee; and I will drive 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.”
To a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou [art] a stiff-necked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
4 Jarri yommuu oduu hamaa kana dhagaʼanitti gadduu jalqaban; isaan keessaas namni tokko iyyuu faaya tokko illee hin kaaʼanne.
And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man put on him his ornaments.
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.’”
For the LORD had said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do to thee.
6 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Gaara Kooreeb biratti faayawwan isaanii of irraa baasan.
And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, by the 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 took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp far from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, [that] every one who sought the LORD, went out to the tabernacle of the congregation, which [was] without 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 came to pass when Moses went out to the tabernacle, [that] all the people rose, and stood every man at his tent-door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the tabernacle.
9 Yeroo Museen dunkaana sana seenutti utubaan duumessaa gad buʼee balbala dunkaanichaa dura dhaabata ture; Waaqayyos Musee wajjin dubbata ture.
And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood [at] the door of the tabernacle, and [the LORD] talked 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 saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the tabernacle door: and all the people rose and worshiped, every man [in] his tent-door.
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 the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend. And he turned again into the camp; but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of 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.
And Moses said to the LORD, See, thou sayest to me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
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.”
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation [is] thy people.
14 Waaqayyos deebisee, “Ani si wajjin nan deema; boqonnaas siifin kenna” jedhe.
And he said, My presence shall attend [thee], and I will give thee rest.
15 Museen immoo akkana jedheen; “Yoo ati nu wajjin deemuu baate, asii nu hin baasin.
And he said to him, If thy presence shall not attend me, conduct us not hence.
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 wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? [Is it] not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that [are] upon the face of 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.
And the LORD said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 Museenis, “Maaloo ulfina kee na argisiisi” jedhe.
And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy 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 said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
20 Garuu waan namni fuula koo argee jiraachuu hin dandeenyeef ati fuula koo arguu hin dandeessu.”
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Kunoo as na bira iddoon ati kattaa irra dhaabachuu dandeessu jira.
And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 Ani yeroo ulfinni koo darbuutti jiru holqa kattaa keessa si kaaʼee hamma ani darbutti harka kootiin si daʼeessa.
And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock: and will cover thee with my hand while 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 thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
