Êxodo 33

Te Whakahau kia Haere Atu i a Hinai

1 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Haere, tūria atu ki runga, koutou ko te iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Īhipa, ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa, i mea ia, ‘Ka hoatu e ahau ki ōu uri.’ 2 Ā, ka ungā he anahera e ahau ki mua i a koe, māku anō hoki e pei ngā Kanaani, ngā Amori, ngā Hiti, ngā Perihi, ngā Hiwi, me, ngā Iepuhi. 3 Ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiū, e te honi; e kore hoki ahau e haere atu i roto i a koe; he iwi kakī mārō hoki koe; kei pau koe i ahau ki te ara."

4 Ā, i te rongonga o te iwi i tēnei rongo kino, ka pōuri, kīhai anō i whakanohoia e tētahi ōna whakapaipai. 5 Ā, i kī atu a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Mea atu ki ngā tama a Īharaira, ‘He iwi kakī mārō koutou. Kia mea kau ka puta atu ahau ki waenganui i a koe, ā, ka ngaro koe i ahau. Nā, whakarērea atu ōu whakapaipai, ā, ka mōhio ahau ki tāku e mea ai ki a koe.’ " 6 Nā, i aurutia e ngā tama a Īharaira ō rātou whakapaipai i Maunga Horepa ahu atu.

Te Tapenākara o te Aroaro o Ihowā

7 Nā, tango ai a Mohi i te tapenākara ka whakatū ki waho o te puni ki tētahi wāhi mamao atu i te puni, ā, huaina ana e ia, "Ko te tapenākara o te whakaminenga". Ā, i haere ngā tāngata katoa e rapu ana i a Ihowā, ki te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ki waho o te puni.

8 Ā, i a Mohi e haere ana ki te tapenākara ka whakatika te iwi katoa, ā, ka tū tērā, tērā, i te kūwaha o tōna tēneti, ā, ka titiro ki muri i a Mohi, ā haere noa ia ki roto ki te tapenākara. 9 Ā, i a Mohi e haere ana ki roto ki te tapenākara, ka heke iho te pou kapua, ā, tū ana i te whatitoka o te tapenākara, ā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi.

10 Ā, ko te kitenga o te iwi katoa i te pou kapua e tū ana i te whatitoka o te tapenākara, nā, ka whakatika te iwi katoa, ka koropiko hoki ia tangata, ia tangata, i te whatitoka o tōna tēneti. 11 Nā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, he kanohi, he kanohi, pērā hoki me te tangata e kōrero nei ki tōna hoa. Ā, hoki ana ia ki te puni; ko tāna tangata ia, ko Hohua, tama a Nunu, kīhai taua taitamariki i neke atu i roto i te tapenākara.

Te Īnoi a Mohi

12 Ā, i mea a Mohi ki a Ihowā, "Titiro, kua mea mai nei koe ki ahau, ‘Kawea tēnei iwi ki runga’; ā, kāhore i whakaaturia mai e koe ki ahau tāu e ungā ai hei hoa mōku. Kua mea mai anō koe ki ahau, ‘E mōhio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tōu ingoa hoki, kua manakohia anō koe e ahau.’ 13 Nā, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, tēnā, whakaaturia mai ki ahau ōu ara, kia mōhio ai ahau ki a koe, kia manakohia ai ahau e koe; kia mahara hoki he iwi nāu tēnei iwi."

14 Nā, ka mea ia, "Ka haere atu tōku aroaro, ā, ka mea ahau i a koe kia okioki."

15 Nā, ka mea ia ki a ia, "Ki te kāhore tōu aroaro e haere, kaua mātou e kawea ki runga i konei. 16 Mā te aha hoki e mōhiotia ai kua manakohia mātou ko tāu iwi e koe? He teka ianei māu kia haere tahi i a mātou? Pēnei ka motuhia mātou ko tāu iwi i ngā iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua."

17 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Ko tēnei mea anō i kōrerotia mai nā e koe, ka rite i ahau; nō te mea e manakohia ana koe e ahau, ā, e mōhio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tōu ingoa hoki."

18 Nā, ka mea ia, "Tēnā rā, whakakitea mai ki ahau tōu korōria."

19 Nā, ka mea ia, "Ka meatia e ahau tōku pai katoa kia haere atu i tōu aroaro, ā, ka karangatia e ahau te ingoa o Ihowā i tōu aroaro, ka atawhai hoki ahau i tāku e atawhai ai, ka tohu hoki i tāku e tohu ai." 20 I mea anō ia, "E kore e taea e koe te titiro ki tōku mata; e kore hoki tētahi tangata e titiro ki ahau, ā, e ora."

21 I mea anō a Ihowā, "Nanā, he wāhi tēnei kei ahau, ā, me tū koe ki runga ki te kāmaka; 22 ā, ka haere atu tōku korōria, nā, ka kawea koe e ahau ki roto ki te kapiti kōhatu, ā, ka taupokina koe e ahau ki tōku ringa, i ahau e haere atu ana. 23 Ā, ka tangohia e ahau tōku ringa, ā, ka kite koe i muri ōku; ko tōku mata ia e kore e kitea."

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: 2 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 unto 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 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. 5 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.

7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one that sought Jehovah went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp. 8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tent. 9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent: and Jehovah spake with Moses. 10 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door. 11 And Jehovah spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tent.

12 And Moses said unto Jehovah, See, thou sayest unto 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 favor in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find favor in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 16 For wherein now shall it be known that I have found favor in thy sight, I and thy people? is it not in that thou goest with us, so that we are separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth?

17 And Jehovah said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found favor in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for man shall not see me and live. 21 And Jehovah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock: 22 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 until I have passed by: 23 and I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back; but my face shall not be seen.
