Keluaran 33
1 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Tinggalkanlah tempat ini dan pergilah bersama bangsa yang kaubawa dari Mesir itu ke negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub serta keturunan mereka.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, you and your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.
2 Aku akan mengutus seorang malaikat untuk membimbing kamu. Aku akan mengusir bangsa Kanaan, Amori, Het, Feris, Hewi dan Yebus.
And I will send at the same time my angel before your face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
3 Kamu menuju ke tanah yang kaya dan subur. Tetapi Aku sendiri tidak ikut dengan kamu, supaya kamu jangan Kubinasakan di tengah jalan, sebab kamu adalah bangsa yang keras kepala."
And I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you by the way.
4 Kemudian TUHAN menyuruh Musa mengatakan kepada bangsa Israel, "Kamu bangsa yang keras kepala. Sekiranya Aku ikut dengan kamu biar sebentar saja, pasti kamu Kubinasakan sama sekali. Lepaskanlah segala perhiasanmu, maka Aku akan menentukan apa yang akan Kulakukan terhadapmu." Setelah mendengar teguran TUHAN itu, mereka sedih sekali seperti orang yang berkabung. Lalu mereka melepaskan perhiasan mereka. Jadi, sesudah meninggalkan Gunung Sinai, bangsa Israel tidak lagi memakai perhiasan.
And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
For the Lord said to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will show you what I will do to you.
So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
7 Setiap kali, bila bangsa Israel berkemah, Musa mengambil Kemah dan mendirikannya agak jauh dari perkemahan mereka. Kemah itu disebut Kemah TUHAN, dan siapa yang ingin minta nasihat TUHAN, pergi ke situ.
And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without the camp.
8 Kalau Musa pergi ke Kemah itu, orang-orang Israel berdiri di depan pintu kemah mereka dan memperhatikan Musa sampai ia masuk.
And whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
9 Sesudah Musa masuk, turunlah tiang awan dan berhenti di pintu Kemah. Dari awan itu TUHAN berbicara dengan Musa.
And when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to Moses.
10 Pada waktu orang Israel melihat tiang awan di pintu Kemah TUHAN, mereka semua bangkit dan sujud di pintu kemah masing-masing.
And all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door of his tent.
11 TUHAN berbicara dengan Musa berhadapan muka, seperti orang berbicara dengan kawannya. Sesudah itu Musa kembali ke perkemahan. Tetapi Yosua anak Nun, seorang pemuda pembantu Musa, tetap tinggal di dalam Kemah itu.
And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
12 Pada suatu hari Musa berkata kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, Engkau memerintahkan saya membimbing bangsa ini ke negeri yang Kaujanjikan. Tetapi Engkau tidak mengatakan siapa yang akan Kauutus untuk menolong saya. TUHAN, Engkau berkata bahwa Engkau mengenal saya, dan berkenan pada saya.
And Moses said to the Lord, Behold! you say to me, Lead on this people; but you have not showed me whom you will send with me, but you have said to me, I know you above all, and you have favor with me.
13 Kalau begitu, sudilah memberitahukan apa rencana-Mu, TUHAN, supaya saya dapat melayani Engkau dan tetap menyenangkan hati-Mu. Ingatlah juga bahwa bangsa ini sudah Kaupilih menjadi milik-Mu."
If then I have found favor in your sight, reveal yourself to me, that I may evidently see you; that I may find favor in your sight, and that I may know that this great nation [is] your people.
14 Kata TUHAN, "Kamu akan Kulindungi supaya dapat memiliki tanah yang Kujanjikan."
And he says, I myself will go before you, and give you rest.
15 Jawab Musa, "Kalau TUHAN tidak ikut dengan kami, jangan suruh kami meninggalkan tempat ini.
And he says to him, If you go not up with us yourself, bring me not up hence.
16 Bagaimana orang akan tahu bahwa Engkau berkenan kepada saya dan kepada bangsa ini jika Engkau tidak menolong kami? Kehadiran TUHAN di tengah-tengah kami akan membedakan kami dari bangsa-bangsa lain di bumi."
And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favor with you, except only if you go with us? So both I and your people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.
17 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Permintaanmu akan Kukabulkan, sebab Aku mengenal engkau dan Aku berkenan kepadamu."
And the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for you this thing, which you have spoken; for you have found grace before me, and I know you above all.
18 Lalu Musa memohon, "TUHAN, perlihatkanlah saya cahaya kehadiran-Mu."
And [Moses] says, Manifest yourself to me.
19 Jawab TUHAN, "Aku akan lewat dengan segala keagungan-Ku di depanmu, sambil mengucapkan nama-Ku yang suci. Akulah TUHAN, dan Aku menunjukkan kemurahan hati dan belas kasihan kepada orang-orang yang Kupilih.
And [God] said, I will pass by before you with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
20 Wajah-Ku tidak akan Kuperlihatkan kepadamu, sebab tak mungkin orang melihat Aku, dan tetap hidup.
And [God] said, You shall not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.
21 Di sebelah-Ku ini ada bukit batu; engkau dapat berdiri di situ.
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: you shall stand upon the rock;
22 Pada waktu cahaya kehadiran-Ku lewat, engkau Kumasukkan ke dalam sebuah celah dalam bukit batu itu dan Kututupi dengan tangan-Ku sampai Aku sudah lewat.
and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put you into a hole of the rock; and I will cover you over with my hand, until I shall have passed by.
23 Lalu akan Kutarik tangan-Ku supaya engkau dapat melihat Aku dari belakang, tetapi wajah-Ku tidak akan kaulihat."
And I will remove my hand, and then shall you see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to you.
