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

¹[Ny nitenenan'Andriamanitra ny Zanak'Isiraely, sy ny nanetren'ireo tena] 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.

²(and I will send an angel before thee, and dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,)

²Ary 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),

³into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, -- lest I consume thee on the way.

³dia 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.

⁴And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.

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

⁵Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.

⁵Ary 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.

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

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

⁷And Moses took the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.

⁷[Ny nihaonan'i Mosesy tamin'Andriamanitra, sy ny naneken'Andriamanitra ny fangatahany] 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.

⁸And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent.

⁸Ary 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.

⁹And it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and [Jehovah] talked with Moses.

⁹Ary 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.

¹⁰And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his tent.

¹⁰Ary 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.

¹¹And Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent.

¹¹Ary 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.

¹²And Moses said to Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.

¹²Ary 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.

¹³And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!

¹³Koa 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.

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

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

¹⁵And he said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us not up hence.

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

¹⁶And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes -- I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth.

¹⁶Fa 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.

¹⁷And Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.

¹⁷Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Izao zavatra nolazainao izao dia hataoko koa; fa nahita fitia eo imasoko ianao, ary mahalala anao tokoa Aho.

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

¹⁸Ary hoy Mosesy: Mba ampahitao ny voninahitrao aho.

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

¹⁹Fa 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.

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

²⁰Ary hoy koa Izy: Tsy mahazo mahita ny tavako ianao; fa tsy misy olona mahita Ahy ka ho velona.

²¹And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock.

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

²²And it shall come to pass, when 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.

²²koa raha mandalo ny voninahitro, dia hataoko eo an-tsefaky ny harambato ianao, ka hosaronako ny tanako ianao mandra-pandaloko.Dia hanaisotra ny tanako Aho, ka hahita ny vohoko ianao; fa ny tavako tsy ho hita.

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

²³Dia hanaisotra ny tanako Aho, ka hahita ny vohoko ianao; fa ny tavako tsy ho hita.
