Ekisodho 33
1 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Ibva panzvimbo ino, iwe navanhu vawakabudisa kubva muIjipiti uye ukwidze kunyika yandakavimbisa nemhiko kuna Abhurahama, Isaka naJakobho ndichiti, ‘Ndichaipa kuzvizvarwa zvako.’
And the LORD said to Moses, Depart, and go up from here, thou and the people which thou hast brought out of 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 Ndichatuma mutumwa pamberi pako agodzinga vaKenani, vaAmori, vaHiti, vaPerezi, vaHivhi navaJebhusi.
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 Kwidzai kunyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi. Asi ini handiendi nemi, nokuti muri vanhu vane mitsipa mikukutu uye ndingazokuparadzai munzira.”
To a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
4 Vanhu vakati vachinzwa mashoko anotambudza aya, vakatanga kuchema uye hapana munhu akashonga zvinoyevedza.
And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man put on him his ornaments.
5 Nokuti Jehovha akanga ati kuna Mozisi, “Taurira vaIsraeri uti, ‘Muri vanhu vane mitsipa mikukutu. Kana dai ndingaende nemi kunyange kwenguva duku, ndingakuparadzai. Zvino bvisai zvishongo zvenyu uye ini ndichafunga zvokuita nemi.’”
For the LORD had said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked 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 Saka vaIsraeri vakabvisa zvishongo zvavo pagomo reHorebhi.
And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7 Zvino Mozisi aisitora tende achiridzika kunze kwomusasa kachinhambwe, achiti ndiro “tende rokusangana.” Munhu upi zvake ainge ane chaanoda kubvunza kuna Jehovha aienda kuTende Rokusangana kunze kwomusasa.
And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it outside 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 outside the camp.
8 Uye pose paibuda Mozisi achienda kutende, vanhu vose vaisimuka vachibva vamira pamikova yamatende avo, vakatarira Mozisi kusvikira apinda mutende.
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 Kana Mozisi apinda mutende, shongwe yegore yaiburuka yobva yamira pamukova, Jehovha achitaura naMozisi.
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 Vanhu vaiti vangoona shongwe yegore pamukova wokupinda mutende, vose vaimira vobva vanamata, mumwe nomumwe pamukova wetende rake.
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11 Jehovha aizotaura naMozisi uso nouso, somunhu anotaura neshamwari yake. Ipapo Mozisi aizodzokera kumusasa, asi mubatsiri wake Joshua mwanakomana waNuni akanga asingabudi mutende.
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 Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha, “Imi manga muchiti kwandiri, ‘Tungamirira vanhu ava,’ asi hamusati mandizivisa wamuchandituma naye. Manga muchingoti, ‘Ndinokuziva nezita rako uye wawana nyasha kwandiri.’
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 Kana muchifadzwa neni, ndidzidzisei nzira dzenyu kuitira kuti ndigokuzivai uye ndirambe ndichiwana nyasha kwamuri. Rangarirai kuti rudzi urwu vanhu venyu.”
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 Jehovha akapindura akati, “Kuvapo kwangu kuchaenda newe, uye ndichakupa zororo.”
And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 Ipapo Mozisi akati kwaari, “Kana Kuvapo kwenyu kusingaendi nesu, musatibvisa pano.
And he said to him, If thy presence go not with me, lead us not up from here.
16 Vanhu vachaziva sei kuti munofadzwa neni uye navanhu venyu kana musina kuenda nesu? Chiizve chicharatidza mutsauko pakati pangu navanhu venyu navamwe vanhu vose vari pamusoro penyika?”
For how then 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 Uye Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Ndichaita chinhu ichocho chawakumbira, nokuti ndinofadzwa newe uye ndinokuziva nezita.”
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 Ipapo Mozisi akati, “Zvino ndiratidzei kubwinya kwenyu.”
And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
19 Uye Jehovha akati, “Ndichaita kuti kunaka kwangu kupfuure napamberi pako, uye ndichaparidza zita rangu, iro Jehovha, pamberi pako. Ndichanzwira nyasha iye wandichanzwira nyasha, uye ndichanzwira tsitsi uyo wandichanzwira tsitsi.”
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 Akati, “Asi haugoni kuona chiso changu, nokuti hapana munhu angandiona uye akararama.”
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Pane nzvimbo iri pedyo neni paungamira padombo.
And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 Panopfuura kubwinya kwangu, ndichakuisa mumukaha wedombo uye ndichakufukidza noruoko rwangu kusvikira ndapfuura.
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 Ipapo ndichabvisa ruoko rwangu uye uchaona shure kwangu; asi chiso changu hachifaniri kuonekwa.”
And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
