Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Then the LORD said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of the land of Egypt, and go to the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’
1Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆς, προπορεύου, ἀνάβηθι ἐντεῦθεν σὺ καὶ ὁ λαός σου, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσα τῷ Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ, λέγων, Τῷ σπέρματι ὑμῶν δώσω αὐτήν.
2And I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
2Καὶ συναποστελῶ τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου· καὶ ἐκβαλεῖ τὸν Ἀμοῤῥαῖον, καὶ Χετταῖον, καὶ Φερεζαῖον, καὶ Γεργεσαῖον, καὶ Εὐαῖον, καὶ Ἰεβουσαῖον, καὶ Χαναναῖον.
3Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people; otherwise, I might destroy you on the way.”
3Καὶ εἰσάξω σε εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι· οὐ γὰρ μὴ συναναβῶ μετὰ σου, διὰ τὸ λαὸν σκληροτράχηλόν σε εἶναι, ἵνα μὴ ἐξαναλώσω σεε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
4When the people heard these bad tidings, they went into mourning, and no one put on any of his jewelry.
4Καὶ ἀκούσας ὁ λαὸς τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ πονηρὸν τοῦτο, κατεπένθησεν ἐν πενθικοῖς.
5For the LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I should go with you for a single moment, I would destroy you. Now take off your jewelry, and I will decide what to do with you.’”
5Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, ὑμεῖς λαὸς σκληροτράχηλος· ὁρᾶτε, μὴ πληγὴν ἄλλην ἐπάξω ἐγὼ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐξαναλώσω ὑμᾶς· νῦν οὖν ἀφέλεσθε τὰς στολὰς τῶν δοξῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ τὸν κόσμον, καὶ δείξω σοι ἃ ποιήσω σοι.
6So the Israelites stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
6Καὶ περιέλαντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν κόσμον αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν περιστολὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Χωρήβ.
7Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it at a distance outside the camp. He called it the Tent of Meeting, and anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the Tent of Meeting outside the camp.
7Καὶ λαβὼν Μωυσῆς τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, ἔπηξεν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς παρεμβολῆς· καὶ ἐκλήθν Σκηνὴ μαρτυρίου· καὶ ἐγένετο, πᾶς ὁ ζητῶν Κύριον ἐξεπορεύετο εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τὴν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
8Then, whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would stand at the entrances to their own tents and watch Moses until he entered the tent.
8Ἡνίκα δʼ ἂν εἰσεπορεύετο Μωυσῆς εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, εἱστήκει πᾶς ὁ λαὸς σκοπεύοντες ἕκαστος παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατενοοῦσαν ἀπιόντος Μωυσῆ ἕως τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν.
9As Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance, and the LORD would speak with Moses.
9Ὡς δʼ ἂν εἰσῆλθε Μωσῆς εἰς τὴν σκηνήν, κατέβαινεν ὁ στύλος τῆς νεφέλης, καὶ ἵστατο ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ ἐλάλει Μωσῇ·
10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they would stand up and worship, each one at the entrance to his own tent.
10καὶ ἐλάλει Μωυσῇ. Καὶ ἑώρα πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὸν στύλον τῆς νεφέλης ἑστῶτα ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς· καὶ στάντες πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, προσεκύνησαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ.
11Thus the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young assistant Joshua son of Nun would not leave the tent.
11Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, ἐνώπιος ἐνωπίῳ, ὡς εἴτις λαλήσει πρὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ φίλον· καὶ ἀπελύετο εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν· ὁ δὲ θεράπων Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυὴ νέος οὐκ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ τῆς σκηνῆς.
12Then Moses said to the LORD, “Look, You have been telling me, ‘Lead this people up,’ but You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor in My sight.’
12Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς, πρὸς Κύριον, Ἰδοὺ σύ μοι λέγεις, ἀνάγαγε τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, σὺ δὲ οὐκ ἐδήλωσάς μοι, ὃν συναποστελεῖς μετʼ ἐμοῦ· σὺ δέ μοι εἶπας, Οἶδά σε παρὰ πάντας, καὶ χάριν ἔχεις παρʼ ἐμοί.
13Now if indeed I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know Your ways, that I may know You and find favor in Your sight. Remember that this nation is Your people.”
13Εἰ οὖν εὕρηκα χάριν ἐναντίον σου, ἐμφάνισόν μοι σεαυτόν· γνωστῶς ἴδω ἴδω σε, ὅπως ἂν ὦ εὑρηκὼς χάριν ἐναντίον σου,, καὶ ἵνα γνῶ, ὅτι λαός σου τὸ ἔθνος τὸ μέγα τοῦτο.
14And the LORD answered, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
14Καὶ λέγει, αὐτὸς προπορεύσομαί σου, καὶ καταπαύσω σε.
15“If Your Presence does not go with us,” Moses replied, “do not lead us up from here.
15Καὶ λέγει πρὸς αὐτόν, εἰ μὴ αὐτὸς σὺ σνμπορεύῃ, μή με ἀναγάγῃς ἐντεῦθεν.
16For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your sight, unless You go with us? How else will we be distinguished from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
16Καὶ πῶς γνωστὸν ἔσται ἀληθῶς, ὅτι εὕρηκα χάριν παρὰ σοί ἐγώ τε καὶ ὁ λαός σου, ἀλλʼ ἢ συμπορευομένου σου μεθʼ ἡμῶν; καὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι ἐγώ τε καὶ ὁ λαός σου παρὰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ὅσα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐστί.
17So the LORD said to Moses, “I will do this very thing you have asked, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name.”
17Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, Καὶ τοῦτόν σοι τὸν λόγον, ὃν εἴρηκας ποιήσω· εὕρηκας, ποιήσω· εὕρηκας γὰρ χάριν ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καὶ οἶδά σε παρὰ πάντας.
18Then Moses said, “Please show me Your glory.”
18Καὶ λέγει, ἐμφάνισόν μοι σεαυτόν.
19“I will cause all My goodness to pass before you,” the LORD replied, “and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
19Καὶ εἶπεν, ἐγὼ παρελεύσομαι πρότερός σου τῇ δόξῃ μου, καὶ καλέσω τῷ ὀνόματί μου, Κύριος ἐναντίον σου· καὶ ἐλεήσω, ὃν ἂν ἐλεῶ, καὶ οἰκτειρήσω, ὃν ἂν οἰκτείρῶ.
20But He added, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.”
20Καὶ εἶπε, οὐ δυνήσῃ ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου· οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἴδῃ ἄνθρωπος τὸ πρόσωπόν μου, καὶ ζήσεται.
21The LORD continued, “There is a place near Me where you are to stand upon a rock,
21Καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος, Ἰδοὺ τόπος παρʼ ἐμοί, στήσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας·
22and when My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.
22Ἡνίκα δʼ ἂν παρέλθηνᾑ ᾑ δόξα μου, καί θήσω σε εἰς ὀπὴν τῆς πέτρας, καὶ σκεπάσω τῇ χειρί μου ἐπὶ σὲ, ἕως ἂν παρέλθω.
23Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen.”
23Καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν χεῖρα, καὶ τότε ὄψει τὰ ὀπίσω μου· τὸ δὲ πρόσωπόν μου οὐκ ὀφθήσεταί σοι.
