¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

¹¶ Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere, turia atu ki runga, koutou ko te iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Ihipa, ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa, i mea ia, Ka hoatu e ahau ki ou uri:

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:

²A ka unga he anahera e ahau ki mua i a koe, maku ano hoki e pei nga Kanaani, nga Amori, nga Hiti, nga Perihi, nga Hiwi, me nga Iepuhi:

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.

³Ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi: e kore hoki ahau e haere atu i roto i a koe; he iwi kaki maro hoki koe: kei pau koe i ahau ki te ara.

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

⁴A, i te rongonga o te iwi i tenei rongo kino, ka pouri, kihai ano i whakanohoia e tetahi ona whakapaipai.

⁵And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

⁵A i ki atu a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki nga tama a Iharaira, He iwi kaki maro koutou: kia mea kau ka puta atu ahau ki waenganui i a koe, a ka ngaro koe i ahau: na, whakarerea atu ou whakapaipai, a ka mohio ahau ki taku e mea ai ki a koe.

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

⁶Na i aurutia e nga tama a Iharaira o ratou whakapaipai i Maunga Horepa ahu atu.

⁷Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one that sought Jehovah went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp.

⁷¶ Na tango ai a Mohi i te tapenakara ka whakatu ki waho o te puni ki tetahi wahi mamao atu i te puni, a huaina ana e ia, Ko te tapenakara o te whakaminenga. A i haere nga tangata katoa e rapu ana i a Ihowa, ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki wa ho o te puni.

⁸And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tent.

⁸A, i a Mohi e haere ana ki te tapenakara ka whakatika te iwi katoa, a ka tu tera, tera, i te kuwaha o tona teneti, a ka titiro ki muri i a Mohi, a haere noa ia ki roto ki te tapenakara.

⁹And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent: and [Jehovah] spake with Moses.

⁹A, i a Mohi e haere ana ki roto ki te tapenakara, ka heke iho te pou kapuna, a tu ana i te whatitoka o te tapenakara, a ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi.

¹⁰And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door.

¹⁰A ko te kitenga o te iwi katoa i te pou kapua e tu ana i te whatitoka o te tapenakara, na ka whakatika te iwi katoa, ka koropiko hoki ia tangata, ia tangata, i te whatitoka o tona teneti.

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

¹¹Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, he kanohi, he kanohi, pera hoki me te tangata e korero nei ki tona hoa. A hoki ana ia ki te puni: ko tana tangata ia, ko Hohua, tama a Nunu, kihai taua taitamariki i neke atu i roto i te tapenakara.

¹²And Moses said unto Jehovah, 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 favor in my sight.

¹²¶ A i mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, Titiro, kua mea mai nei koe ki ahau, Kawea tenei iwi ki runga: a kahore i whakaaturia mai e koe ki ahau tau e unga ai hei hoa moku. Kua mea mai ano koe ki ahau, E mohio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tou ingoa hoki, kua manakoh ia ano koe e ahau.

¹³Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find favor in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

¹³Na, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, tena, whakaaturia mai ki ahau ou ara, kia mohio ai ahau ki a koe, kia manakohia ai ahau e koe; kia mahara hoki he iwi nau tenei iwi.

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

¹⁴Na ka mea ia, Ka haere atu toku aroaro, a ka mea ahau i a koe kia okioki.

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

¹⁵Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te kahore tou aroaro e haere, kaua matou e kawea ki runga i konei.

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

¹⁶Ma te aha hoki e mohiotia ai kua manakohia matou ko tau iwi e koe? he teka ianei mau kia haere tahi i a matou? penei ka motuhia matou ko tau iwi i nga iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua.

¹⁷And Jehovah said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found favor in my sight, and I know thee by name.

¹⁷Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Ko tenei mea ano i korerotia mai na e koe, ka rite i ahau: no te mea e manakohia ana koe e ahau, a e mohio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tou ingoa hoki.

¹⁸And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory.

¹⁸Na ka mea ia, Tena ra, whakakitea mai ki ahau tou kororia.

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

¹⁹Na ka mea ia, Ka meatia e ahau toku pai katoa kia haere atu i tou aroaro, a ka karangatia e ahau te ingoa o Ihowa i tou aroaro, ka atawhai hoki ahau i taku e atawhai ai, ka tohu hoki i taku e tohu ai.

²⁰And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for man shall not see me and live.

²⁰I mea ano ia, E kore e taea e koe te titiro ki toku mata: e kore hoki tetahi tangata e titiro ki ahau, a e ora.

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

²¹I mea ano a Ihowa, Nana, he wahi tenei kei ahau, a me tu koe ki runga ki te kamaka:

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 until I have passed by:

²²A, ka haere atu toku kororia, na, ka kawea koe e ahau ki roto ki te kapiti kohatu, a ka taupokina koe e ahau ki toku ringa, i ahau e haere atu ana:

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

²³A ka tangohia e ahau toku ringa, a ka kite koe i muri oku: ko toku mata ia e kore e kitea.
