33 Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Moises, “Halin ka sa sini nga lugar, upod sa mga tawo nga ginpaguwa mo sa Egipto, kag kadto kamo sa duta nga ginsumpa ko nga ihatag kay Abraham, Isaac, kag Jacob. Nagsiling ako sa ila sadto nga ihatag ko ini nga duta sa ila mga kaliwat. Paunahon ko ang anghel sa inyo, kag tabugon ko ang mga Canaanhon, mga Amornon, mga Hithanon, mga Periznon, mga Hivhanon, kag mga Jebusnon sa sina nga duta nga maayo kag mapatubason.[a] Kamo lang ang magkadto didto; indi ako mag-upod sa inyo kay mga matig-a kamo sang ulo, kag basi kon pamatyon ko pa kamo sa dalan.”

Sang mabatian sang mga tawo ining masakit nga mga pulong, nagpangasubo gid sila kag wala sila magsul-ob sang ila mga alahas. Kay nagsugo ang Ginoo kay Moises nga ihambal niya ini sa mga Israelinhon: “Mga matig-a kamo sing ulo nga mga tawo. Kon updan ko kamo bisan sa malip-ot lang nga tion, basi kon mapatay ko pa kamo. Karon, panghuksa ninyo ang inyo mga alahas hasta nga makadesisyon ako kon ano ang akon himuon sa inyo.” Gani ginpanghukas sang mga Israelinhon ang ila mga alahas didto sa Bukid sang Horeb.

Ang Tolda nga Ginapakigkitaan

Kinabatasan na ni Moises nga magpatindog sang Tolda nga medyo malayo sa kampo. Ini nga Tolda ginatawag nga “Tolda nga Ginapakigkitaan.” Ang bisan sin-o nga gusto makahibalo sang kabubut-on sang Ginoo nagakadto sa sini nga Tolda. Kon magsulod si Moises sa Tolda, nagatindog ang mga tawo sa puwertahan sang ila mga tolda. Ginatan-aw nila si Moises hasta nga makasulod siya sa Tolda. Kag samtang didto si Moises sa sulod, nagapaidalom ang panganod nga daw haligi sa puwertahan sang Tolda samtang nagapakighambal ang Ginoo kay Moises. 10 Kag kon makita sang mga tawo ang panganod nga daw haligi sa puwertahan sang Tolda, nagatindog sila kag nagasimba sa Ginoo sa may puwertahan sang ila mga tolda. 11 Kon magpakigsugilanon ang Ginoo kay Moises, daw sa nagaatubangay gid sila, pareho sa mag-abyan nga nagaestoryahanay. Pagkatapos nagabalik si Moises sa kampo, pero ang bataon niya nga kabulig nga si Josue, nga anak ni Nun, nagapabilin sa Tolda.

Nakita ni Moises ang Gamhanan nga Presensya sang Dios

12 Nagsiling si Moises sa Ginoo, “Permi mo ako ginahambalan nga pangunahan ko ini nga katawhan sa pagkadto sa duta nga imo ginpromisa, pero wala mo pa ako ginpahibalo kon sin-o ang paupdon mo sa akon. Nagsiling ka pa nga kilala mo gid ako kag nalipay ka sa akon. 13 Kon matuod nga nalipay ka sa akon, tudlui ako sang imo mga pamaagi agod makilala ko ikaw kag agod malipay pa gid ikaw sa akon. Dumduma nga ini nga nasyon imo katawhan.” 14 Nagsabat ang Ginoo, “Ako mismo ang magaupod sa imo, kag hatagan ko ikaw sang kapahuwayan.” 15 Nagsiling si Moises sa iya, “Kon indi ka mag-upod sa amon, indi kami pagpahalina sa sini nga lugar. 16 Kay paano mahibaluan sang iban nga nalipay ka sa akon kag sa imo katawhan kon indi mo kami pag-updan? Kag paano nila mahibaluan nga espesyal kami nga katawhan sang sa iban nga mga katawhan sa kalibutan?”

17 Nagsabat ang Ginoo kay Moises, “Himuon ko ang ginapangayo mo, kay nalipay ako sa imo, kag kilala ko gid ikaw.” 18 Dayon nagsiling si Moises, “Karon, ipakita sa akon ang imo gamhanan nga presensya.”

19 Nagsabat ang Ginoo, “Ipakita ko sa imo ang tanan ko nga kaayo, kag imitlang ko sa imo ang akon ngalan, ang Ginoo. Kaluoyan ko ang gusto ko nga kaluoyan. 20 Pero indi mo makita ang akon nawong kay wala sing tawo nga makakita sa akon nga mabuhi.”

21 Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo, “Tindog ka diri sa dako nga bato malapit sa akon. 22 Kag samtang nagalabay ang akon gamhanan nga presensya, isulod ko ikaw sa guhab sang bato kag tabunan ko ikaw sang akon kamot hasta nga makaagi ako. 23 Dayon kuhaon ko ang akon kamot kag makita mo ang akon likod, pero indi ang akon nawong.”

  1. 33:3 duta… mapatubason: sa literal, duta nga nagailig ang gatas kag dugos.

33 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath(A) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’(B) I will send an angel(C) before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(D) Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.(E) But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked(F) people and I might destroy(G) you on the way.”

When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn(H) and no one put on any ornaments. For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people.(I) If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy(J) you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’” So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.(K)

The Tent of Meeting

Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.”(L) Anyone inquiring(M) of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents,(N) watching Moses until he entered the tent. As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud(O) would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke(P) with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent.(Q) 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face,(R) as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua(S) son of Nun did not leave the tent.

Moses and the Glory of the Lord

12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’(T) but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name(U) and you have found favor(V) with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways(W) so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”(X)

14 The Lord replied, “My Presence(Y) will go with you, and I will give you rest.”(Z)

15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence(AA) does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us?(AB) What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”(AC)

17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked,(AD) because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”(AE)

18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”(AF)

19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(AG) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(AH) the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.(AI) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(AJ) me and live.”

21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock(AK) and cover you with my hand(AL) until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
