King James Version with Apocrypha
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 said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I 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; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, 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.”
3Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume 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.
4¶ And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
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.”
5For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
6Pea naʻe vete ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau ngaahi teunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko Holepi.
6And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the 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.
7And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was 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 it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone 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 it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked 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 the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
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 spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of 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.
12¶ And Moses said unto the LORD , See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace 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.”
13Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u ʻalu mo koe, pea te u tuku kiate koe ʻae fiemālie.”
14And he said, My presence shall go with 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 he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me , carry us not up hence.
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 wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of 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 unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakahā kiate au ho nāunau.’
18And he said, I beseech thee, 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.
19And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
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 he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man 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 the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a 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 it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
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 mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
