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.’
1Huan TOUPA'N Mosi kiang ah, Kuan inla, hiailai a kipan in paitou in, nang leh Aigupta gam a kipan a na pikhiak mite, Na suante kiang ah ko'n pe ding, chi a, Abraham kiang, Isaak kiang leh Jakob kiang a ka kichiamna gamah;
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:
2Huan na ma ah angel ka sawl ding; huchi in Kanan-te, Amor-te leh, Hit-te leh, Periz-te, Hiv-te leh Jebuste ka hawlkhe ding:
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.”
3Gam bawngnawitui leh khuaizu a luang ah: kei na lak uah hohtou lou ding ka hih ziak in; mi genhakte na hih ziak un: huchi lou in zaw lampi ah ko'n hul kha ding hi, a chi.
4When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
4Huchi a mite'n huai tanchin hoihloute a zak un, a thuak uhi: huchi in kuamah a kivatna ua kivan a om kei uh.
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.’”
5TOUPA'N lah Mosi kiang ah, Israel suante kiang ah, Mi genhakte na hi uh: mitphial kal lou in na lak uah ka hongtou dia, ko'n hul ding: huaiziak in na tung ua bang ahia ka hih ding ka theihna ding in na kivatna uh suah un, chi in, a na chi ta ngal a.
6The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
6Huchi in Israel suante'n Horeb tang tang kiang ah a kivatnate uh a kisuah vek ta uhi.
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.
7Huan Mosi in puan inn a sut a, giahbuk po lam ah a kai a, giahbuk a kipan gamla pi ah, Kihoupihna puan inn, a chi hi. Huan hichi ahi a, michih TOUPA zongte kihoupihna puan inn, giahbuk po lam a om ah, a hoh uhi.
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.
8Huan hichi ahi a, puan inn lam a Mosi a paikhiak lai in, mite a vek un a ding ua, michih a puan inn kongkhak bul ah a ding uh, huchi in puan inn a lut mateng Mosi a enzui uhi.
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.
9Huan hichi ahi a, Mosi puan inn a a lut leh, meikhuam a hong kum a, puan inn kongkhak bul ah a ding a, huchi in TOUPA'N Mosi a houpih ta hi.
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.
10Huchi in mi tengteng in puan inn kongkhak bul a ding meikhuam a mu ua: huchi in mi tengteng a ding ua a bia uh, michih a puan inn kongkhak sung chiat uah.
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.
11Huan TOUPA'N Mosi, mi'n a lawm a houpih bang mai in, kimaituah in a houpih ta hi. Huchi in giahbuk a nungngat a; himahleh a sikha Josua, Nun tapa, tangval, puan inn a kipan a paikhe kei.
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.’
12Huan Mosi in TOUPA kiang ah, En in, hiai mite hon pitou in no'n chi a: huan ka kiang a na sawl ding kua ahia non theisak kei. Hinapi in lah, Na min in ka hon thei a, ka mitmuh in hehpihna leng na mu hi, na chi ngal a.
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.”
13Huaiziak in tu in, ka hon ngen hi, na mitmuh a hehpihna ka muh leh, ka hon theih a, na mitmuh a hehpihna ka muh theihna ding in, tu in na lampi hon en sak in: huan hiai nam na mite ahi chih ngaihsun in, a chi a.
14He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
14Huan aman, Ka ompihna nang toh a ton dia, khawlna kon pe ding hi, a chi a.
15He said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
15Huan aman a kiang ah, Na ompihna kei toh a ton kei ding leh, hiai a kipan in kou hon pitou ken.
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?”
16A ziak, kei leh na mite’n hiai lai ah na mitmuh in hehpihna ka mu ta uh chih koi a kithei ding ahia? kou kiang ah na pai hi lou hia? huchi in leitung pumpi a teng mi tengteng a kipan in khen in ka om ding uh, kei leh na mite, a chi hi.
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.”
17Huan TOUPA'N Mosi kiang ah, Hiai thil na gensa leng ka hih ding: ka mitmuh a hehpihna na muh a, min a nang ka hon theih ziak in, a chi hi.
18He said, “Please show me your glory.”
18Huan aman, Ka hon ngen hi, na thupina hon en sak in, a chi a.
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.”
19Huan aman, Na ma ah ka hoihna tengteng ka pai sak dia, na ma ah TOUPA min ka tangkoupih ding: huan ka hehpihpih ka hehpih ding a, chitna ka etsaksak chitna ka ensak ding hi, a chi a.
20He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
20Huchi in aman, Ka mai na mu theikei ding: mi kei hon mu a, hing a omlouh ding ziak un, a chi a.
21Yahweh also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
21Huan TOUPA'N, En in, ka kiang ah mun a om, huchi in suangpi tungah na ding ding:
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;
22Huan hichi ahi ding a; ka thupina in a hon khen sung in ka khut in ka hon khuh ding:Huan ka khut ka lamang dia, huchi in ka nung lam na mu ding: himahleh ka mai a kimukei ding, a chi a.
23then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
23Huan ka khut ka lamang dia, huchi in ka nung lam na mu ding: himahleh ka mai a kimukei ding, a chi a.
