¹In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu: Vstani, potuj gori odtod, ti in ljudstvo, ki si ga pripeljal iz dežele Egiptovske, v deželo, o kateri sem prisegel Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu in govoril: Semenu tvojemu jo hočem dati;

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, `Go, ascend from this [place], thou and the people, whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it,`

²In pošljem angela pred teboj in izženem Kanaance, Amorejce in Hetejce in Ferizejce, Hevejce in Jebusejce;

²(and I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,)

³potuj v deželo, v kateri teče med in mleko; zakaj jaz ne pojdem med vami, ker si trdovratno ljudstvo, da te ne pokončam kje na potu.

³unto a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in thy midst, for thou [art] a stiff-necked people — lest I consume thee in the way.`

⁴In ko je ljudstvo slišalo to hudo poročilo, so žalovali, in nihče ni oblekel lepotine svoje.

⁴And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none put his ornaments on him.

⁵Zakaj GOSPOD je bil rekel Mojzesu: Reci sinovom Izraelovim: Ljudstvo trdovratno ste vi; ako bi šel en trenotek med vami, bi te pokončal. In sedaj odloži lepotičje svoje, da bom vedel, kaj naj ti storim.

⁵And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people; one moment — I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;`

⁶In sneli so sinovi Izraelovi lepotičje s sebe pri gori Horebski.

⁶and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at mount Horeb.

⁷In Mojzes vzame šator in si ga razpne zunaj tabora, daleč od taborišča, in ga je imenoval: Šator shoda. In bilo je, da je vsakdo, ki je iskal GOSPODA, hodil k šatoru shoda, ki je bil zunaj tabora.

⁷And Moses taketh the tent, and hath stretched it out at the outside of the camp, afar off from the camp, and hath called it, `Tent of Meeting;` and it hath come to pass, every one seeking Jehovah goeth out unto the tent of meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.

⁸In kadarkoli je šel Mojzes ven k Šatoru, je vstalo vse ljudstvo, in vsakteri je stal ob vhodu šatora svojega in gledal za Mojzesom, dokler ni stopil v Šator.

⁸And it hath come to pass, at the going out of Moses unto the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.

⁹Ko je pa Mojzes stopil v Šator, je prišel doli oblakov steber in stal ob vhodu Šatora, in GOSPOD je govoril z Mojzesom.

⁹And it hath come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud cometh down, and hath stood at the opening of the tent, and He hath spoken with Moses;

¹⁰In videlo je vse ljudstvo oblakov steber ob vhodu v Šator; in vse ljudstvo je vstajalo in se poklanjalo, vsak ob vhodu šatora svojega.

¹⁰and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.

¹¹In GOSPOD je govoril z Mojzesom iz obličja v obličje, kakor govori človek s prijateljem svojim. Potem se je vrnil v tabor; njegov strežnik pa, Jozue, sin Nunov, mladenič, ni šel iz Šatora.

¹¹And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and he hath turned back unto the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth not out of the tent.

¹²In Mojzes reče GOSPODU: Glej, ti mi velevaš: Vodi to ljudstvo gori, a nisi mi ga dal spoznati, koga pošlješ z menoj, čeprav si rekel: Poznam te po imenu, in našel si milost v mojih očeh.

¹²And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `See, Thou art saying unto me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes.

¹³Zdaj torej, če sem našel milost v tvojih očeh, mi pokaži pot svojo, da te spoznam in vem, čemu najdem milost v tvojih očeh; in glej, ta narod je tvoje ljudstvo.

¹³`And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Thy people;`

¹⁴On pa reče: Obličje moje te bo spremljalo, in dam ti pokoj.

¹⁴and He saith, `My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.`

¹⁵In Mojzes mu reče: Ako nas ne bo spremljalo obličje tvoje, ne pelji nas iz tega kraja.

¹⁵And he saith unto Him, `If Thy presence is not going — take us not up from this [place];

¹⁶In po čem naj bo vendar očitno, da sem našel milost v tvojih očeh, jaz in ljudstvo tvoje? Ne li po tem, da hodiš z nami in smo odlikovani, jaz in ljudstvo tvoje, izmed vseh ljudstev, kar jih je na površju zemlje?

¹⁶and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Thine eyes — I and Thy people — is it not in Thy going with us? and we have been distinguished — I and Thy people — from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.`

¹⁷In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Tudi to reč, ki si jo govoril, hočem storiti, kajti našel si milost v mojih očeh in poznam te po imenu.

¹⁷And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Even this thing which thou hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I know thee by name.`

¹⁸On pa reče: Pokaži mi, prosim, slavo svojo!

¹⁸And he saith, `Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;`

¹⁹In odgovori: Storim, da pojde mimo tebe vsa dobrota moja, in klical bom ime GOSPODOVO pred teboj; in milostiv bodem, komur hočem biti milostiv, in usmilim se, kogar se hočem usmiliti.

¹⁹and He saith, `I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.`

²⁰In reče: Ne moreš videti obličja mojega, zakaj človek me ne more videti in ostati živ.

²⁰He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;`

²¹In GOSPOD reče: Glej, prostor je pri meni, tu se postavi na skalo.

²¹Jehovah also saith, `Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,

²²In zgodi se, ko pojde mimo slava moja, da te postavim v skalno razpoko in te pokrijem z roko svojo, dokler ne preidem mimo.Potem odmaknem roko svojo, in videl me boš odzadaj, a obličja mojega ne bode videti.

²²and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,

²³Potem odmaknem roko svojo, in videl me boš odzadaj, a obličja mojega ne bode videti.

²³and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.`
