Eksodosy 33

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy hoe: Mandehana miakatra hiala atỳ ianao sy ny firenena izay nentinao niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ho amin’ ny tany izay nianianako tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba hoe: Ny taranakao no homeko azy.

The LORD 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 Ary haniraka Anjely Aho hitarika anao eo aloha (ka horoahiko ny Kananita sy ny Amorita sy ny Hetita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita),

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 dia ho amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely; nefa tsy hiara-miakatra aminao Aho (satria olona mafy hatoka ianao), fandrao handringana anao eny an-dalana Aho.

Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up amongst you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”

4 Ary rehefa ren’ ny olona izany teny mampahory izany, dia nanjoretra izy, ka tsy nisy olona niravaka intsony.

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

5 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Hianareo dia olona mafy hatoka; koa raha hiara-miakatra aminao Aho, na dia indray mipi-maso aza, dia handringana anao Aho; koa ankehitriny, esory ny firavakao hiala aminao, mba ho fantatro izay hataoko aminao.

The LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up amongst you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewellery from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”

6 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nanala ny firavany hatreo an-tendrombohitra Horeba.

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

7 Ary fanaon’ i Mosesy ny maka ny lay ka manorina azy eo ivelan’ ny toby lavidavitra, ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Ny trano-lay fihaonana. Ary izay rehetra nitady an’ i Jehovah dia nivoaka ho eny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izay teo ivelan’ ny toby.

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 the LORD went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

8 Ary raha nivoaka ho eo amin’ ny lay Mosesy, dia nitsangana ny olona rehetra, ka samy nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy avy, dia nitazana an’ i Mosesy mandra-pahatongany ao amin’ ny lay.

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 Ary raha niditra tao amin’ ny lay Mosesy, dia nidina ny andri-rahona ka nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lay, ary Jehovah dia niresaka tamin’ i Mosesy.

When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and the LORD spoke with Moses.

10 Ary hitan’ ny olona rehetra ny andri-rahona nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lay; dia nitsangana ny olona rehetra, ka samy niankohoka teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy avy.

All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshipped, everyone at their tent door.

11 Ary Jehovah niteny nifanatrika tamin’ i Mosesy, tahaka ny olona miresaka amin’ ny sakaizany. Ary niverina nankeo amin’ ny toby izy; fa ny mpanompony, dia Josoa zatovo, zanak’ i Nona, tsy niala tamin’ ny lay.

The LORD 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 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Indro fa Hianao milaza amiko hoe: Ento miakatra ity firenena ity, ary Hianao tsy mbola nampahafantatra ahy izay hirahinao hiaraka amiko; kanefa Hianao efa nilaza hoe: Mahalala anao tokoa Aho, ary efa nahita fitia eo imasoko koa ianao.

Moses said to the LORD, “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 favour in my sight.’

13 Koa ankehitriny, raha nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, dia ampahafantaro ny lalanao hahalalako Anao, mba hahitako fitia eo imasonao; ary hevero fa olonao ity firenena ity.

Now therefore, if I have found favour in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favour in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”

14 Dia hoy Izy: Ny Tavako no handeha, dia hanome anao fitsaharana Aho.

He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Fa hoy Mosesy taminy: Raha tsy handeha ny Tavanao, dia aza mitondra anay hiakatra hiala atỳ.

Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.

16 Fa inona anefa no hahafantarana fa nahita fitia eo imasonao izaho sy ny olonao? moa tsy amin’ ny handehananao miaraka aminay va? dia ho voavaka amin’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany izahay, dia izaho sy ny olonao.

For how would people know that I have found favour 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 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Izao zavatra nolazainao izao dia hataoko koa; fa nahita fitia eo imasoko ianao, ary mahalala anao tokoa Aho.

The LORD said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favour in my sight, and I know you by name.”

18 Ary hoy Mosesy: Mba ampahitao ny voninahitrao aho.

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”

19 Fa hoy kosa Jehovah: Izaho hampandalo ny fahatsarako rehetra eo anatrehanao ka hanonona ny anaran’ i Jehovah eo anatrehanao; fa hiantra izay hiantrako Aho, ary hamindra fo amin’ izay hamindrako fo.

He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the LORD’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 Ary hoy koa Izy: Tsy mahazo mahita ny tavako ianao; fa tsy misy olona mahita Ahy ka ho velona.

He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”

21 Dia hoy Jehovah: Indro, misy fitoerana eto anilako; dia hijanona eo ambonin’ ny harambato ianao;

The LORD also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.

22 koa raha mandalo ny voninahitro, dia hataoko eo an-tsefaky ny harambato ianao, ka hosaronako ny tanako ianao mandra-pandaloko.

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 Dia hanaisotra ny tanako Aho, ka hahita ny vohoko ianao; fa ny tavako tsy ho hita.

then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
