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.

¹Yahweh 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 seed.’

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),

²I 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:

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.

³to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way.”

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

⁴When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.

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.

⁵Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”

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

⁶The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

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.

⁷Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

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.

⁸It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

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.

⁹It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.

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.

¹⁰All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.

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.

¹¹Yahweh 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 out of the Tent.

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.

¹²Moses said to Yahweh, “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 favor in my sight.’

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.

¹³Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.”

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

¹⁴He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

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

¹⁵He said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.

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.

¹⁶For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it in 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?”

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

¹⁷Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”

¹⁸Ary hoy Mosesy: Mba ampahitao ny voninahitrao aho.

¹⁸He said, “Please show me your glory.”

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.

¹⁹He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

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

²⁰He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”

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

²¹Yahweh also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.

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.

²²It 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;

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

²³then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
