1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu, pea hiki ʻi heni, ʻa koe mo e kakai ʻaia kuo ke ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, Te u foaki ia ki ho hako:
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: God, get thee up from this place, thou and thy people which thou has brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land concerning which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To thy seed I will give it.
2Pea te u fekau ha ʻāngelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe: pea te u kapusi ʻae kakai Kēnani, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Pelesi, ko e kau Hevi, pea mo e kau Sepusi:
2And I will send an angel before thee, that I may cast out the Chanaanite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.
3Mou ʻalu ki he fonua mahu tāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi: ka ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu hake ʻi homou lotolotonga; he ko e kakai kia kekeva koe: telia naʻaku fakaʻauha koe ʻi he hala.”
3That thou mayst enter into the land that floweth with milk and honey. For I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I destroy thee in the way.
4¶ Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai ki he ongoongo kovi ni, naʻa nau tangi: pea naʻe ʻikai ʻai ʻe ha tangata haʻa ne teunga.
4And the people hearing these very bad tidings, mourned: and no man put on his ornaments according to custom.
5He naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koe kakai kia kekeva ʻakimoutolu: Te u ʻalu atu ki loto ʻiate koe ʻi he kemo pe taha, ʻo fakaʻauha koe; ko ia ke ke tukuange ai ʻae ngaahi teunga ʻiate koe, kaeʻoua ke u ʻilo ai ha meʻa ke fai kiate koe.”
5And the Lord said to Moses: Say to the children of Israel: Thou are a stiffnecked people; once I shall come up in the midst of thee, and shall destroy thee. Now presently lay aside thy ornaments, that I may know what to do with thee.
6Pea naʻe vete ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau ngaahi teunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko Holepi.
6So the children of Israel laid aside their ornaments by mount Horeb.
7Pea naʻe hiki ʻe Mōsese ʻae fale fehikitaki, ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi tuaʻā mei he ʻapitanga, ʻo mamaʻo atu mei he ʻapitanga, ʻo ne ui ia ko e Fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai. Pea naʻe pehē, ko ia kotoa pē naʻe kumi kia Sihova naʻe ʻalu ia kituaʻā ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi tuaʻā mei he ʻapitanga.
7Moses also taking the tabernacle, pitched it without the camp afar off, and called the name thereof, The tabernacle of the covenant. And all the people that had any question, went forth to the tabernacle of the covenant, without the camp.
8Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Mōsese ki he fale fehikitaki, naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo tuʻu ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale fehikitaki, ke sio atu kia Mōsese, ke ʻoua ke hū ia ki he fale fehikitaki.
8And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle.
9Pea ʻi he hū ʻa Mōsese ki he fale fehikitaki, naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae pou ʻao, pea tuʻu ia ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea alea ʻa Sihova mo Mōsese.
9And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.
10Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ki he pou ʻao ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo hū, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale fehikitaki.
10And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle. And they stood, and worshipped at the doors of their tents.
11Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ko e mata ki he mata, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae tangata ki hono kāinga. Pea naʻe liu mai ia ki he ʻapitanga; he ko hono tauhi, ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tangata talavou, naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia mei he fale fehikitaki.
11And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.
12¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku ke pehē mai kiate au, Ke ke ʻohake ʻae kakai ni: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fakahā kiate au, pe ko hai ia te ke fekau ke ma ō mo au. Ka kuo ke tala mai, ʻOku ou ʻilo koe ʻi ho hingoa, pea kuo ʻofeina koe ʻi hoku ʻao.
12And Moses said to the Lord; Thou commandest me to lead forth this people: and thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me, especially whereas thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast found favour in my sight.
13Pea ko ʻeni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ke ke fakahā ni kiate au ho hala, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo koe, pea te u ʻilo ai ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao: pea ke ʻafioʻi ko e puleʻanga ni ko ho kakai.”
13If therefore I have found favour in thy sight, show me thy face, that I may know thee, and may find grace before thy eyes: look upon thy people this nation.
14Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u ʻalu mo koe, pea te u tuku kiate koe ʻae fiemālie.”
14And the Lord said: My face shall go before thee, and I will give thee rest.
15Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻa hoʻo ʻafio mo au, ʻoua naʻa ke fetuku hake ʻakimautolu ʻi heni.
15And Moses said: If thou thyself dost not go before, bring us not out of this place.
16He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻilo ni ʻi he ha kuo ʻofeina au mo hoʻo kakai ʻi ho ʻao? ʻIkai ʻi he meʻa ni, ʻi hoʻo ʻalu mo kimautolu? Ko ia te mau mavahe ai, ʻa au mo hoʻo kakai, mei he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”
16For how shall we be able to know, I and thy people, that we have found grace in thy sight, unless thou walk with us, that we may be glorified by all people that dwell upon the earth?
17Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Te u fai ʻae meʻa ni foki ʻaia kuo ke lea ki ai: he kuo ke maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo koe ʻi ho hingoa.’
17And the Lord said to Moses: This word also, which thou hast spoken, will I do: for thou hast found grace before me, and thee I have known by name.
18Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakahā kiate au ho nāunau.’
18And he said: Shew me thy glory.
19Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Te u fai ke hā atu ʻeku angalelei kotoa pē ʻi ho ʻao, pea te u fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻi ho ʻao; pea te u ʻofa mataʻatā pe kiate ia ʻoku ou loto ke ʻofa mataʻatā pe ki ai, pea te u ʻaloʻofa kiate ia ʻoku ou loto ke ʻaloʻofa ki ai.
19He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me.
20Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku ʻikai te ke mafai ke mamata ki hoku fofonga: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata te ne mamata kiate au, pea moʻui.
20And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live.
21Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae potu ʻoku ofi kiate au, pea te ke tuʻu koe ki he funga maka:
21And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock.
22Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻa hoku nāunau, te u ai koe ki he mafahi ʻoe maka, pea teu ʻufiʻufi koe ʻaki hoku nima lolotonga ʻeku ʻalu atu:
22And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a hole of the rock, and protect thee with my right hand, till I pass:
23Pea te u toʻo hoku nima, pea te ke mamata ki hoku tuʻa; ka ko hoku fofonga ʻe ʻikai hā ia.”
23And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face thou canst not see.
