Exodus 33

1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Fi ìhín yìí sílẹ̀, ìwọ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí o mú gòkè láti Ejibiti wá, kí ẹ sì gòkè lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí Èmi ti pinnu ní ìbúra fún Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò fi fún irú-ọmọ rẹ.’

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of the land of Egypt, and go to the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’

2 Èmi yóò rán angẹli ṣáájú yín, Èmi yóò sì lé àwọn Kenaani, àwọn ará Amori, àwọn ará Hiti, àwọn ará Peresi, àwọn ará Hifi àti àwọn ará Jebusi jáde.

And I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

3 Ẹ gòkè lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin. Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò ní lọ pẹ̀lú yín, nítorí ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle ni ẹ̀yin, kí èmi má ba à run yín ní ọ̀nà.”

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people; otherwise, I might destroy you on the way.”

4 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn náà gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìparun wọ̀nyí, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sì ní kùn, ẹnìkankan kò sì le è wọ ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ rẹ̀.

When the people heard these bad tidings, they went into mourning, and no one put on any of his jewelry.

5 Nítorí Olúwa ti wí fún Mose pé, “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, ‘Ènìyàn Ọlọ́rùn líle ní ẹ̀yin, bí Èmi bá lè wá sí àárín yín ni ìṣẹ́jú kan, Èmi lè pa yín run. Nísìnsinyìí, bọ́ ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ rẹ kúrò, Èmi yóò sì gbèrò ohun tí Èmi yóò ṣe pẹ̀lú rẹ.’”

For the LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I should go with you for a single moment, I would destroy you. Now take off your jewelry, and I will decide what to do with you.’”

6 Bẹ́ẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bọ́ ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ wọn kúrò lára wọn ní òkè Horebu.

So the Israelites stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

7 Mose máa ń gbé àgọ́ náà, ó sì pa á sí ìta ibùdó, ó jìnnà díẹ̀ sí ibùdó, ó pè é ni “Àgọ́ àjọ.” Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń béèrè Olúwa yóò lọ sí ibi àgọ́ àjọ náà ní ìta ibùdó.

Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it at a distance outside the camp. He called it the Tent of Meeting, and anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the Tent of Meeting outside the camp.

8 Nígbàkígbà tí Mose bá jáde lọ sí ibi àgọ́, gbogbo ènìyàn á dìde, wọ́n á sì dúró sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ wọn, wọn yóò máa wo Mose títí yóò fi wọ inú àgọ́ náà.

Then, whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would stand at the entrances to their own tents and watch Moses until he entered the tent.

9 Bí Mose ṣe wọ inú àgọ́ náà, ọ̀wọ́n àwọsánmọ̀ yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀, yóò sì dúró sí ẹnu ọnà, nígbà tí Olúwa ń sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú Mose.

As Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance, and the LORD would speak with Moses.

10 Nígbàkígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá rí i ti ọ̀wọ́n àwọsánmọ̀ bá dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́, gbogbo wọn yóò dìde wọn yóò sì sìn, olúkúlùkù ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ rẹ̀.

When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they would stand up and worship, each one at the entrance to his own tent.

11 Olúwa máa ń bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ lójúkojú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i pé ènìyàn ń bá ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ sọ̀rọ̀. Nígbà náà ni Mose yóò tún padà lọ sí ibùdó, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin Joṣua ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ọmọ Nuni kò fi àgọ́ sílẹ̀.

Thus the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young assistant Joshua son of Nun would not leave the tent.

12 Mose sọ fún Olúwa pé, “Ìwọ ti ń sọ fún mi, ‘Darí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí,’ ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò jẹ́ kí ń mọ ẹni tí ìwọ yóò rán pẹ̀lú mi. Ìwọ ti wí pé, ‘Èmi mọ̀ ọ́n nípa orúkọ, ìwọ sì ti rí ojúrere mi pẹ̀lú.’

Then Moses said to the LORD, “Look, You have been telling me, ‘Lead this people up,’ but You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor in My sight.’

13 Bí ìwọ bá ní inú dídùn pẹ̀lú mi, kọ́ mi ní ọ̀nà rẹ, kí èmi kí ó lè mọ̀ ọ́n, kí n sì le máa wá ojúrere rẹ pẹ̀lú. Rántí wí pé orílẹ̀-èdè yìí ènìyàn rẹ ni.”

Now if indeed I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know Your ways, that I may know You and find favor in Your sight. Remember that this nation is Your people.”

14 Olúwa dáhùn wí pé, “Ojú mi yóò máa bá ọ lọ, Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ìsinmi.”

And the LORD answered, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Nígbà náà ni, Mose wí fún un pé, “Bí ojú rẹ kò bá bá wa lọ, má ṣe rán wa gòkè láti ìhín lọ.

“If Your Presence does not go with us,” Moses replied, “do not lead us up from here.

16 Báwo ni ẹnikẹ́ni yóò ṣe mọ̀ pé inú rẹ dùn pẹ̀lú mi àti pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àyàfi ti o bá bá wa lọ? Kí ni yóò lè yà mí àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ kúrò lára gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ayé?”

For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your sight, unless You go with us? How else will we be distinguished from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

17 Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé, “Èmi yóò ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ ti béèrè, nítorí inú mi dún sí o, Èmi sì mọ̀ ọ́n nípa orúkọ rẹ̀.”

So the LORD said to Moses, “I will do this very thing you have asked, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name.”

18 Mose sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí fi ògo rẹ hàn mí.”

Then Moses said, “Please show me Your glory.”

19 Olúwa sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò sì mú gbogbo ìre mí kọjá níwájú rẹ, Èmi yóò sì pòkìkí orúkọ Olúwa níwájú rẹ. Èmi yóò ṣàánú fún ẹni tí Èmi yóò ṣàánú fún, Èmi yóò sì ṣoore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún ẹni tí Èmi yóò ṣoore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún.

“I will cause all My goodness to pass before you,” the LORD replied, “and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

20 Ṣùgbọ́n,” ó wí pé, “Ìwọ kò le è rí ojú mi, nítorí kò sí ènìyàn kan tí ń rí mi, tí ó lè yè.”

But He added, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.”

21 Olúwa sì wí pé, “Ibìkan wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi, níbi tí o ti lè dúró lórí àpáta.

The LORD continued, “There is a place near Me where you are to stand upon a rock,

22 Nígbà tí ògo mi bá kọjá, Èmi yóò gbé ọ sínú pàlàpálá àpáta, Èmi yóò sì bò ọ́ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ mi títí Èmi yóò fi rékọjá.

and when My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

23 Nígbà tí Èmi yóò mú ọwọ́ mi kúrò, ìwọ yóò sì rí ẹ̀yìn mi; ṣùgbọ́n ojú mi ni o kò ní rí.”

Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen.”
