Exodo 33

1 Kinausap ni Yahweh si Moises, “Umalis ka rito, kayo at ang bayan na dinala mo palabas mula sa lupain ng Ehipto. Puntahan mo ang lupain na kung saan ipinangako ko kina Abraham, Isaac, at Jacob, nang aking sinabi, 'Ibibigay ko ito sa inyong mga kaapu-apuhan.'

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 Ipapadala ko ang isang anghel sa inyo, at itataboy ko palabas ang mga Cananaeo, Amoreo, Heteo, Perezeo, Hivita, at Jebuseo.

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 Puntahan mo ang lupain na iyon, kung saan dumadaloy ang gatas at pulot, pero hindi ako sasama sa inyo, dahil kayo ay isang bayang matitigas ang ulo. Baka lang wasakin kayo sa daan.”

[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 Nang marinig ng mga tao ang mga nakakagambalang salitang ito, sila ay nagluksa, at walang ni isa man ang nagsuot ng anumang alahas.

And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.

5 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Sabihin mo sa mga Israelita, 'Kayo ay isang bayang matitigas ang ulo. Kung sasama ako sa inyo kahit sandali lamang, wawasakin ko kayo. Kaya ngayon, alisin ninyo ang inyong mga alahas kaya makakapagpasya ako kung ano ang gagawin ko sa inyo.'''

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 Kaya walang suot na alahas ang mga Israelita pasulong mula sa Bundok Horeb.

and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.

7 Kinuha ni Moises ang isang tolda at itinayo ito sa labas ng kampo, nang may kalayuan sa kampo. Tinawag niya itong tolda ng pagpupulong. Ang sinumang magtanong kay Yahweh ng anumang bagay ay lalabas ng tolda ng pagpupulong, sa labas ng kampo.

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 Sa tuwing lalabas si Moises sa tolda, lahat ng tao ay tumatayo sa harap ng pasukan ng kanilang tolda at tinitingnan si Moises hanggang siya ay makapasok sa loob.

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 Kapag pumapasok si Moises sa tolda, ang haliging ulap ay bumababa at nananatili sa labas ng tolda, at nagsasalita si Yahweh kay Moises.

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 Kapag nakita ng mga tao ang haliging ulap na nananatili sa pasukan ng tolda, sila ay tumatayo at sumasamba, bawat lalaki sa kanilang sariling pasukan ng tolda.

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 Kinakausap ni Yahweh si Moises ng harap-harapan, tulad ng isang lalaking nakikipag-usap sa kaniyang kaibigan. Pagkatapos bumabalik si Moises sa kampo, pero ang kaniyang lingkod na si Josue anak ni Nun, isang binata, ay nananatili sa tolda.

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 Sinabi ni Moises kay Yahweh, “Tingnan mo, sinasabi mo sa akin, 'Dalhin mo ang mga taong ito sa kanilang paglalakbay,' pero hindi mo pinaalam sa akin kung sino ang ipapadala mo na kasama ko. Sinabi mo, 'Nakikilala mo ako sa pangalan, at ikaw din ang nakatagpo ng pabor sa aking paningin.'

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 Ngayon kung ako ay nakatagpo ng pabor sa iyong paningin, ipakita mo sa akin ang iyong mga paraan nang sa ganon ay makilala kita at patuloy na makatagpo ng pabor sa iyong paningin. Tandaan mo ang bayang ito ay iyong bayan.

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 Sumagot si Yahweh, “Ang sarili kong presensiya ay sasama sa iyo, at bibigyan kita ng pahinga.”

and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”

15 Sinabi ni Moises sa kaniya, “Kung ang inyong presensiya ay hindi sasama sa amin, huwag mo kaming alisin mula rito.

And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];

16 Dahil kung hindi, paano malalaman na ako ay nakatagpo ng pabor sa iyong paningin, ako at ang inyong bayan? Hindi ba nararapat lamang na sumama ka sa amin para ako at ang iyong bayan ay maiba mula sa lahat ng ibang bayan na nasa ibabaw ng mundo?

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 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Gagawin ko din ang bagay na ito na iyong hiniling, dahil ikaw ang nakatagpo ng pabor sa aking paningin, at nakikilalamo ako sa pangalan.”

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 Sinabi ni Moises, “Pakiusap ipakita mo sa akin ang inyong kaluwalhatian.”

And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;

19 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking kabutihan sa inyo, at ipapahayag ko ang aking pangalang 'Yahweh' sa inyo. Magiging maawain ako sa kaninoman na magiging maawain, at magpapakita ako ng habag sa kaninoman na magpapakita ng habag.”

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 Pero sinabi ni Yahweh, “Hindi mo maaring makita ang aking mukha, dahil walang sinuman ang maaaring makakita sa akin at mabuhay.”

He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;

21 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Tingnan mo, dito ang isang lugar sa pamamagitan ko; tatayo ka sa batong ito.

YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,

22 Habang dumaraan ang aking kaluwalhatian, ilalagay kita sa siwang ng bato at tatakpan kita gamit ang kamay ko hanggang sa makaraan ako.

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 Pagkatapos aalisin ko ang aking kamay, at makikita mo ang aking likuran, pero hindi mo makikita ang aking mukha.

and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
