Êxodo 33

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ 2 I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 3 Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way."

4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewelry.

5 Yahweh had said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’"

6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The Tent of Meeting." Everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp. 8 When Moses went out to the Tent, all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent. 9 When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and Yahweh spoke with Moses. 10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door. 11 Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.

12 Moses said to Yahweh, "Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’ 13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people."

14 He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

15 Moses said to him, "If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here. 16 For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?"

17 Yahweh said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

18 Moses said, "Please show me your glory."

19 He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." 20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live." 21 Yahweh also said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by; 23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."

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."
