Baʼuu 33
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Atii fi sabni ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde kun asii baʼaatii gara biyya ani Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif, ‘Ani sanyii keetiif nan kenna’ jedhee kakadhe sanaa dhaqaa.
YHWH 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 descendants.'
2 Ani ergamaa koo fuula kee duraan ergee Kanaʼaanota, Amoorota, Heetota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota ariʼee nan baasa.
I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3 Gara biyya aannanii fi dammi keessaa burquu dhaqi. Garuu waan ati saba mata jabeessa taateef ani akka karaatti si hin balleessineef si wajjin hin deemu.”
to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."
4 Jarri yommuu oduu hamaa kana dhagaʼanitti gadduu jalqaban; isaan keessaas namni tokko iyyuu faaya tokko illee hin kaaʼanne.
When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
5 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedheeraatii; “Saba Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin saba mata jabeeyyii dha. Ani utuu yeruma muraasa illee isin wajjin deemee silaa isin balleessa ture; isin amma faayawwan keessan of irraa baasaa; anis waanan isin godhu nan murteessaa.’”
YHWH said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst 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 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Gaara Kooreeb biratti faayawwan isaanii of irraa baasan.
The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
7 Museen dunkaana tokko fuudhee iddoo qubataa sana keessaa baasee achi fageessee dhaaba ture; dunkaana sanas, “dunkaana wal gaʼii” jedhee moggaase. Namni Waaqayyoon barbaadatu hundinuu iddoo qubataa sana keessaa baʼee gara dunkaana wal gaʼii sanaa dhaqa ture.
Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The Tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought YHWH went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
8 Yeroo Museen baʼee gara dunkaana sanaa dhaqu hunda sabni hundinuu kaʼee balbala dunkaana ofii isaa dura dhaabatee hamma inni dunkaanicha seenutti ilaala ture.
It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
9 Yeroo Museen dunkaana sana seenutti utubaan duumessaa gad buʼee balbala dunkaanichaa dura dhaabata ture; Waaqayyos Musee wajjin dubbata ture.
It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.
10 Sabni yeroo utubaa duumessaa kan balbala dunkaanaa dura dhaabatu argutti hundi isaa ol kaʼee tokkoon tokkoon namaa dunkaana ofii isaa duratti sagada ture.
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 Waaqayyos akkuma nama michuu isaa wajjin haasaʼu tokkootti ifumaan ifatti Museetti dubbachaa ture. Ergasiis Museen iddoo qubataatti deebiʼa ture; gargaaraan isaa, Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni dargaggeessi suni garuu dunkaana sana biraa hin deemu ture.
YHWH 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, did not depart out of the Tent.
12 Museen Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Ilaa, ati, ‘saba kana dura buʼii baasi’ naan jetteerta; garuu ana wajjin eenyun akka ergitu na hin beeksifne. Ati, ‘Ani maqaadhaan si beeka; ati na biratti fudhatama argateerta’ jette.
Moses said to YHWH, "Look, 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 Ammas ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee yoon jiraadhe, akka ani si beekuu fi akka ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhuuf karaa kee na barsiisi; akka sabni kun saba kee taʼes yaadadhu.”
Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."
14 Waaqayyos deebisee, “Ani si wajjin nan deema; boqonnaas siifin kenna” jedhe.
He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
15 Museen immoo akkana jedheen; “Yoo ati nu wajjin deemuu baate, asii nu hin baasin.
He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, do not carry us up from here.
16 Ati nu wajjin deemuu baannaan namni akkamiin akka ati anaa fi saba keetti gammaddu beeka? Wanni anaa fi saba kee saboota lafa irraa kaan hunda irraa addaan baasu biraa maali ree?”
For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in 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 Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan, “Ani waan ati amma kadhatte kana nan godha; ati fuula koo duratti ayyaana argatteertaatii; anis maqaadhaan si beeka” jedhe.
YHWH 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 Museenis, “Maaloo ulfina kee na argisiisi” jedhe.
He said, "Please show me your glory."
19 Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedhe; “Ani gaarummaa koo hundumaa fuula kee dura nan dabarsa; maqaa Waaqayyoo fuula kee duratti nan labsa. Ani kanan maaru nan maara; kanan garaa laafuufiis garaa nan laafa.
He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of YHWH before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
20 Garuu waan namni fuula koo argee jiraachuu hin dandeenyeef ati fuula koo arguu hin dandeessu.”
He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."
21 Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Kunoo as na bira iddoon ati kattaa irra dhaabachuu dandeessu jira.
YHWH also said, "Look, there is a place by me, and you are to station yourself on the rock.
22 Ani yeroo ulfinni koo darbuutti jiru holqa kattaa keessa si kaaʼee hamma ani darbutti harka kootiin si daʼeessa.
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 Ergasiis ani harka koo nan fudhadha; atis dugda koo ni argita; fuulli koo garuu argamuu hin qabu.”
then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
