Exodus 33
1 Afterward the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Depart, goe vp from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought vp out of lande of Egypt) vnto the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak and to Iaakob, saying, Vnto thy seede will I giue it.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Vva mu kifo kino ogende, ggwe n’abantu be waggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, olage mu nsi gye nalayirira Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo, nga njogera nti, ‘Ndigiwa bazzukulu bammwe.’
2 And I will send an Angel before thee and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites:
Ndiweereza malayika abakulemberenga; era ndigobamu Abakanani, n’Abamoli, n’Abakiiti, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi n’Abayebusi.
3 To a lande, I say, that floweth with milke and hony: for I will not goe vp with thee, because thou art a stiffe necked people, least I consume thee in the way.
Yambuka mu nsi ekulukutiramu amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki. Naye sijja kugenda nammwe; sirwa kubazikiririza mu kkubo, kubanga muli bantu ab’ensingo enkakanyavu.”
4 And when the people heard this euill tydings, they sorowed, and no man put on his best rayment.
Abantu bwe baawulira amawulire ago ag’ennaku, ne bakungubaga ne watabaawo ayambala eby’omu matu wadde eby’oku mikono ebyokwewoomya.
5 (For the Lord had said to Moses, Say vnto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffe necked people, I wil come suddenly vpon thee, and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly rayment from thee, that I may know what to do vnto thee)
Kubanga Mukama yali alagidde Musa nti, “Gamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Mulina omutima omukakanyavu, era singa ntambula nammwe okumala akaseera wadde katono katya, nzija kubazikiriza. Kale kaakano mweyambulemu ebyokwewoomya byammwe, ndyoke ndabe kye nnaakola.’”
6 So the children of Israel layed their good raiment from them, after Moses came downe from the mount Horeb.
Bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri ne beeyambulamu eby’obugagga byabwe nga bali ku lusozi Kolebu.
7 Then Moses tooke his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host farre off from the hoste, and called it Ohel-moed. And whe any did seeke to the Lord, he went out vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the hoste.
Kale, Musa yaddiranga eweema n’agisimba ebweru w’olusiisira, ewala ddala n’olusiisira; n’agiyita Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Ne buli eyeetaaganga Mukama, ng’agenda awali Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, eyali ebweru w’olusiisira.
8 And when Moses went out vnto the Tabernacle, all the people rose vp, and stood euery man at his tent doore, and looked after Moses, vntil he was gone into the Tabernacle.
Era buli Musa lwe yafulumanga n’alaga eri Eweema, abantu bonna nga bayimirira mu miryango gy’eweema zaabwe ne batunuulira Musa okutuusa lwe yayingiranga mu Weema.
9 And assoone as Moses was entred into the Tabernacle, the cloudie pillar descended and stood at the doore of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
Musa bwe yayingiranga mu Weema, empagi ey’ekire n’ekka n’eyimirira mu mulyango gw’Eweema; Mukama n’alyoka ayogera ne Musa.
10 Nowe when all the people saw the cloudie pillar stand at the Tabernacle doore, all the people rose vp, and worshipped euery man in his tent doore.
Abantu bwe baalabanga ng’empagi ey’ekire eyimiridde mu mulyango gw’Eweema, bonna ne basituka ne basinza, buli omu mu mulyango gw’eweema ye.
11 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his friende. After he turned againe into the hoste, but his seruant Ioshua the sonne of Nun a yong man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
Bw’atyo Mukama bwe yayogeranga ne Musa nga batunulaganye, ng’omuntu bw’ayogera ne mukwano gwe. Musa bwe yaddangayo mu lusiisira, omuweereza we, omuvubuka Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, ye n’asigalayo mu Weema.
12 Then Moses sayde vnto the Lord, See, thou sayest vnto me, Leade this people forth, and thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt sende with mee: thou hast sayde moreouer, I knowe thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
Musa n’agamba Mukama nti, “Obadde ontegeeza nti, ‘Kulembera abantu bano,’ naye omuntu gw’onontuma naye tomuntegeezezza. Ogambye nti, ‘Nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo, era onsanyusizza.’
13 Nowe therefore, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, shewe mee nowe thy way, that I may knowe thee, and that I may finde grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people.
Obanga nkusanyusizza, njigiriza amakubo go ndyoke nkumanye era nneeyongeranga okukusanyusa. Jjukira nti eggwanga lino be bantu bo.”
14 And he answered, My presence shall go with thee, and I will giue thee rest.
Mukama n’addamu nti, “Nnaagendanga naawe, era nnaakuwummuzanga.”
15 Then he sayd vnto him, If thy presence go not with vs, cary vs not hence.
Musa n’amugamba nti, “Obanga toogende naffe, totuggya wano.
16 And wherein nowe shall it be knowen, that I and thy people haue found fauour in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with vs? so I, and thy people shall haue preeminence before all the people that are vpon the earth.
Kale abantu balitegeerera ku ki nga Nkusanyusizza, nze n’abantu bo? Si lwa kubanga onooba ogenze naffe, ne tuba ba njawulo, nze n’abantu bo, nga twawukana ku bantu bonna ab’oku nsi?”
17 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, I will doe this also that thou hast saide: for thou hast founde grace in my sight, and I knowe thee by name.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kukola ekyo kyennyini ky’osabye; onsanyusizza, era nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo.”
18 Againe he sayde, I beseech thee, shewe me thy glory.
Musa n’agamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ndaga ekitiibwa kyo.”
19 And he answered, I wil make all my good go before thee, and I wil proclaime the Name of the Lord before thee: for I will shewe mercy to whom I will shewe mercy, and will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Nzija kuggyayo obulungi bwange bwonna nga mbuyisa mu maaso go. Era nzija kukutegeeza erinnya lyange, Mukama. Buli gwe nnaayagalanga okukwatirwa ekisa, nnaamukwatirwanga ekisa, ne buli gwe nnaayagalanga okusaasira nnaamusaasiranga.”
20 Furthermore he sayde, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and liue.
Era n’agamba nti, “Naye toyinza kulaba maaso gange, kubanga tewali muntu antunulako n’aba mulamu.”
21 Also the Lord sayd, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand vpon the rocke:
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Waliwo wano okumpi nange ekifo ku lwazi kw’onooyimirira.
22 And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rocke, and will couer thee with mine hand whiles I passe by.
Ekitiibwa kyange bwe kinaaba kiyitawo, nnaakuteeka mu mpataanya mu lwazi, ne nkubikkako omukono gwange okutuusa lwe nnaamala okuyitawo.
23 After I will take away mine hande, and thou shalt see my backe parts: but my face shall not be seene.
Oluvannyuma omukono gwange nnaaguggyawo, n’olaba amabega gange; naye tojja kulaba ku maaso gange.”
