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.’
1 Rabbi ne Musa se koyne: «Tun ne, nin da jama kaŋ ni fun d'a Misira laabu. Araŋ ma dira ka koy laabo kaŋ ay ze d'a Ibrahim da Isaka nda Yakuba se din ra, kaŋ ay ne: ‹Ay g'a no ni banda se.›
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:
2 Ay ga malayka donton ni jine. Ay ga Kanaanancey, da Amorancey, da Hittancey, da Perizancey, da Hibancey, da Yebusancey gaaray.
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.”
3 Ma koy laabo kaŋ ga wa nda yu bambari din ra. Zama ay wo, ay si dira ni banda, zama ni ya dumi hanga sando no, zama ay ma si ni ŋwa ka ban fonda boŋ.»
4When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
4 Saaya kaŋ borey maa baaru laala din, i biney sara. Boro kulu mana nga taalam jinay daŋ.
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.’”
5 Zama Rabbi ne Musa se: «Ma ne Israyla izey se: Araŋ ya dumi hanga sandoyaŋ no. D'ay furo araŋ bindo ra baa mo-ka-miyaŋ fo, kal ay ma ni ŋwa ka ban. Sohõ binde, kala ni ma taalam jinay kulu kaa ni gaahamo gaa, hal ay ma bay haŋ kaŋ no ay ga te ni se.»
6The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
6 Za Horeb tondo do Israyla izey na ngey taalam jinayey kaa.
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.
7 Musa binde ga hukumo sambu k'a sinji gata banda, gata se nangu mooro. A ga ne a se kubayyaŋ hukumo. A ciya binde, boro kulu kaŋ ga Rabbi ceeci ga fatta ka koy kubayyaŋ hukumo kaŋ go gata banda do.
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.
8 Waati kaŋ Musa ga fatta ka koy hukumo do mo, borey kulu ga tun ka kay, boro kulu nga kuuru-fuwo me gaa, ka Musa koyyaŋo guna hal a ma furo hukumo ra.
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.
9 A ga ciya mo, da Musa furo hukumo ra, buru sari himando ga zumbu ka kaa hukumo me gaa, Rabbi mo ga salaŋ da Musa.
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.
10 Borey kulu mo, d'i di buro goono ga kay hukumo me gaa, i kulu ga tun ka kay. I ma sombu, boro kulu nga kuuru-fuwo me gaa.
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.
11 Rabbi mo ga salaŋ da Musa me-da-me danga mate kaŋ boro ga salaŋ da nga coro. Waato din gaa Musa ga ye ka kaa gata ra, amma a saajawkwa, arwaso Yasuwa Nun izo si ce dagu hukumo ra.
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.’
12 Musa mo ne Rabbi se: «Guna, nin kaŋ goono ga ne ay se: ‹Ni ma jama wo zijandi,› amma ni mana ay bayrandi nda bora kaŋ ni ga donton ay banda. Kulu nda yaadin ni ne: ‹Ay ga ni bay da ni maa, ni du gaakuri ay do mo.›
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.”
13 Sohõ binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, d'ay du gaakuri ni do, m'ay cabe ni fondey, zama ay ma ni bay, zama ay ma du gaakuri ni do mo. Ma fongu mo kaŋ dumi woone ya ni jama no.»
14He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
14 Rabbi ne: «Ay bumbo no ga koy ni banda, ay ga ni no fulanzamay mo.»
15He said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
15 Musa ne a se: «Da ni bumbo si koy ay banda, ma si iri tunandi neewo.
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?”
16 Zama ifo gaa no i ga bay hal ay du gaakuri ni do, in da ni jama? Manti zama ni go ga dira iri banda, wala? Yaadin gaa no i g'iri fayanka, in da ni jama, k'iri fay waani da dumey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go ndunnya fando boŋ.»
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.”
17 Rabbi ne Musa se koyne: «Sohõ, wo kaŋ ni ŋwaaray din, ay g'a te, zama ni du gaakuri ay do. Ay na ni bay mo da ni maa.»
18He said, “Please show me your glory.”
18 Musa ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, m'ay cabe ni darza.»
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.”
19 A tu ka ne: «Ay ga naŋ ay booriyaŋo kulu ma bisa ni jine. Ay maa kaŋ ti Rabbi, ay g'a fe ni jine. Ay ga gomni te boro kaŋ se ay ga gomni, ay ga bakar mo boro kaŋ se ay ga bakar.»
20He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
20 Rabbi ne mo: «Ni si hin ka di ay moyduma, zama boro si di ay ka funa.»
21Yahweh also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
21 Rabbi ne koyne: «Guna, nangu fo neeya ay jarga, ni ga kay tondo wo boŋ.
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;
22 A ga ciya mo, saaya kaŋ ay darza ga bisa, ay ga ni daŋ tondo kortimi ra. Ay ga ni daabu nd'ay kamba hal ay ma bisa.
23then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
23 Gaa no ay g'ay kamba kaa ni gaa. Ni ga di ay banda, amma ay moyduma, boro si di a.»
