¹And 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:

¹Li Dios quixye re laj Moisés: —Ayukex, cßameb li tenamit li xacuisiheb chak aran Egipto. Texxic saß li naßajej li xinyechißi reheb laj Abraham, laj Isaac, joß ajcuiß laj Jacob nak xinye reheb, “Tinsi li naßajej aßin reheb lê ralal êcßajol.”

²And 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:

²Ut lâin tintakla li ángel châcuu. Ut saß li naßajej aßan tincuisiheb laj cananeo, laj amorreo, laj heteo, laj ferezeo, laj heveo joß eb ajcuiß laj jebuseo.

³Unto 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.

³Texxic saß li châbil naßajej li cuan cuiß li sahil echej. Lâin incßaß texcuochbeni saß li be. Naru texinsach chi junaj cua xban nak kßaxal cau êchßôl, chan li Dios.

⁴And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

⁴Nak queßrabi nak li Dios quiâtinac riqßuin cacuil âtin, queßrahoß xchßôleb li tenamit. Ut incßaß chic queßrocsi lix sahob ru li rakßeb.

⁵For 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.

⁵Ac xyehom li Dios re laj Moisés nak tixye li âtin aßin reheb li tenamit. —Ye reheb laj Israel, chan, nak kßaxal cauheb xchßôl. Cui tincuochbeniheb junpâtak naru tinsacheb chi junaj cua. Incßaß chic teßrocsi lix sahob ru li rakßeb re nak tinnau ma yôqueb chinpâbanquil, chan li Dios.

⁶And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

⁶Xban aßan nak eb laj Israel queßrisi lix sahob ru li rakßeb nak cuanqueb saß li tzûl Horeb xcßabaß ut incßaß chic queßrocsi.

⁷And 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.

⁷Tabernáculo xcßabaß li muhebâl li nequeßxchßutub cuiß ribeb chixlokßoninquil li Dios. Li bar nocoxeßhilânk cuiß laj Israel, laj Moisés naxqßue li tabernáculo chire li naßajej cuanqueb cuiß lix muhebâleb li cristian. Nak junak naraj xlokßoninquil li Dios, naxic saß li tabernáculo.

⁸And 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.

⁸Yalak jokße naxic laj Moisés saß li tabernáculo, chixjunileb li cristian nequeßxakli saß li oquebâl re lix muhebâleb ut aran nequeßoybenin toj nequeßril nak laj Moisés na-oc saß li tabernáculo.

⁹And 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.

⁹Nak laj Moisés na-oc saß li tabernáculo, li chok nacube ut nacana saß li oquebâl. Ut li Dios naâtinac riqßuin laj Moisés.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Nak eb li cristian nequeßril li chok saß li oquebâl re li tabernáculo, nequeßxlokßoni li Dios chire li oquebâl re lix muhebâleb.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Ut naâtinac li Dios riqßuin laj Moisés joß nak nequeßâtinac cuib li ramîgueb rib. Nak nasukßi laj Moisés saß xmuhebâl, laj Josué laj cßanjel chiru, nacana saß li tabernáculo. Li sâj cuînk aßin, aßan li ralal laj Nun.

¹²And 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.

¹²Laj Moisés quixye re li Dios: —Lâat xaye cue nak tincßamok be chiruheb li cristian, aban incßaß xaye cue ani tâochbenînk cue. Ut xaye cue nak sicßbil cuu âban. Xaye ajcuiß cue nak xincßam cuib saß usilal châcuu.

¹³Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show 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.

¹³Cui lâin xincßam cuib saß usilal châcuu, bânu usilal ye cue chi tzßakal li cßaßru tâcuaj lâat re nak tinnau chi tzßakal cßaßru tâcuaj ut tincßam cuib saß usilal châcuu. Bânu usilal julticak ajcuiß âcue nak âcue li tenamit aßin, chan.

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

¹⁴Ut li Dios quixye re laj Moisés: —Lâin cuânkin âcuiqßuin ut riqßuin aßan chacßojob âchßôl, chan.

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

¹⁵Ut laj Moisés quixye re: —Cui incßaß tatcuânk kiqßuin, moâcuisi saß li naßajej aßin.

¹⁶For 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.

¹⁶Cui incßaß tatcuânk kiqßuin, ¿chanru nak tâcßutûnk chiruheb li jalan xtenamiteb nak lâo xkacßam kib saß usilal âcuiqßuin? Cui lâat tatcuânk kiqßuin, chixjunileb li tenamit saß ruchichßochß teßxnau nak lâo sicßbil ku âban, chan laj Moisés.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Moisés: —Lâin tinbânu li cßaßru xatzßâma chicuu xban nak lâat xacßam âcuib saß usilal cuiqßuin ut lâat sicßbil âcuu inban, chan.

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

¹⁸Laj Moisés quixye cuißchic re: —Tintzßâma châcuu nak tâcßut chicuu lix nimal âlokßal, chan.

¹⁹And 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 show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

¹⁹Li Dios quixye: —Lâin tincßut châcuu chixjunil li cuusilal ut tinye lin cßabaß âcue. Lâin li nimajcual Dios. Tincuil xtokßobâleb ru li ani li tincuaj ut tincuuxtânaheb ajcuiß ru li ani tincuaj.

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

²⁰Incßaß naru tâcuil cuu. Li ani tâilok cuu tâcâmk, chan li Dios.

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

²¹Li Dios quixye ajcuiß re laj Moisés: —Tatxaklîk saß xbên li pec nachß cuanquin cuiß.

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

²²Ut lâin tatinqßue saß jun li chßina ochoch pec aran. Tatintzßap riqßuin cuukß ut aran tatincol nak yô chi numecß inlokßal.Nak ac xinnumeß, tincuisi li cuukß ut li cuix tâcuil. Aban li cuu incßaß tâcuil, chan li Dios.

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

²³Nak ac xinnumeß, tincuisi li cuukß ut li cuix tâcuil. Aban li cuu incßaß tâcuil, chan li Dios.
