Exodo 33
Magandang Balita Biblia
Nagpatuloy ng Paglalakbay ang Israel
33 Sinabi(A) (B) ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Umalis na kayo rito at magtuloy sa lupaing aking ipinangako kina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob na ibibigay ko sa kanilang lahi. 2-3 Ang pupuntahan ninyo'y isang mayaman at masaganang lupain. Pauunahin ko sa inyo ang isang anghel upang palayasin ang mga Cananeo, Amoreo, Heteo, Perezeo, Hivita at Jebuseo. Hindi ako ang sasama sa inyo at baka malipol ko lamang kayo sa daan dahil sa katigasan ng inyong ulo.”
4 Nang malaman ito ng mga Israelita, labis silang nalungkot at isa ma'y walang nagsuot ng alahas. 5 Sapagkat sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na matitigas ang ulo nila. Baka kung ako ang sasama sa kanilang paglalakbay ay malipol ko lang sila. Ipaalis mo ang kanilang mga alahas, at pagkatapos ay magpapasya ako kung ano ang gagawin ko sa kanila.” 6 Kaya't mula sa Bundok ng Sinai,[a] hindi na sila nagsuot ng alahas.
Ang Toldang Tipanan
7 Nakaugalian na ni Moises na itayo ang tabernakulo sa isang lugar na malayu-layo sa kampo; tinawag iyong Toldang Tipanan ng Diyos at ng mga tao. Doon pumupunta ang sinumang nais sumangguni kay Yahweh. 8 Tuwing papasok doon si Moises, ang mga Israelita'y tumatayo sa pintuan ng kanilang tolda at tinitingnan siya hanggang sa siya'y makapasok. 9 Kapag nasa loob na si Moises, bumababa naman sa may pinto ng Toldang Tipanan ang haliging ulap at mula roo'y makikipag-usap sa kanya si Yahweh. 10 Kapag nakita ng mga Israelita na nasa pintuan ng Tolda ang haliging ulap, pumupunta naman sila sa pintuan ng kanilang tolda at doo'y yumuyuko at sumasamba. 11 Ang pakikipag-usap ni Yahweh kay Moises ay harap-harapan, tulad ng pakikipag-usap sa kaibigan. Pagkatapos, si Moises ay bumabalik na sa kampo ngunit naiiwan sa Tolda si Josue, ang lingkod niya.
Nangako si Yahweh na Sila'y Papatnubayan
12 Sinabi ni Moises kay Yahweh, “Iniutos ninyo sa aking pangunahan ko ang bayang ito papunta sa lupaing ipinangako ninyo. Ngunit hindi ninyo sinabi kung sino ang makakatulong ko. Sinabi pa ninyong nalulugod po kayo sa akin at kilalang-kilala ninyo ako. 13 Kung ito'y totoo, ipinapakiusap kong sabihin ninyo sa akin ang inyong mga balak gawin para malaman ko upang patuloy kayong malulugod sa akin. Alalahanin din ninyo na ang bayang Israel ay inyo.”
14 “Sasamahan ko kayo at bibigyan ko kayo ng kapayapaan,” sagot ni Yahweh.
15 Sinabi ni Moises, “Kung hindi ninyo kami sasamahan, huwag na po ninyo kaming paalisin dito. 16 Sapagkat kung hindi kayo sasama sa amin, paano malalaman ng lahat na kami po ay inyong kinalulugdan? Kung sasama kayo sa amin, maliwanag na kami'y naiiba sa lahat ng mga bansa.”
17 “Sige, gagawin ko ang hiling mo sapagkat ako'y nalulugod sa iyo at kilalang-kilala kita,” sabi ni Yahweh.
18 Kaya't hiniling ni Moises, “Yahweh, ipakita po ninyo sa akin ang inyong kaluwalhatian!”
19 “Makikita mong lahat ang aking kaluwalhatian at bibigkasin ko sa iyo ang aking pangalan: Yahweh. Mahahabag ako sa nais kong kahabagan at maaawa ako sa nais kong kaawaan, 20 ngunit hindi mo maaaring makita ang aking mukha sapagkat tiyak na mamamatay ang sinumang makakita niyon. 21 Dito sa tabi ko'y may matatayuan kang bato. 22 Pagdaan ng aking maningning na kaluwalhatian, ipapasok kita sa siwang ng batong ito at tatakpan kita ng aking kamay. 23 Pagkalampas ko'y aalisin ko na ang aking kamay at makikita mo ang likod ko, ngunit hindi ang aking mukha,” sagot ni Yahweh.

Moses and the Tent of Meeting
33 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go! Go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which (A)I swore to Abraham, (B)to Isaac, and (C)to Jacob, saying, ‘(D)To your seed I will give it.’ 2 And I will send (E)an angel before you, and (F)I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 3 Go up to a land (G)flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst because you are (H)a stiff-necked people, lest (I)I consume you on the way.”
4 Then the people heard this [a]sad word and (J)went into mourning; and none of them put on his ornaments. 5 So Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are (K)a stiff-necked people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would consume you. So now, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.’” 6 So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
7 Now Moses used to take (L)the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And (M)everyone who sought Yahweh would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp. 8 And it happened whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent. 9 And it happened whenever Moses entered the tent, that (N)the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; (O)and [b]Yahweh would speak with Moses. 10 And all the people would see the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent. And all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent. 11 Thus (P)Yahweh used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. Then [c]Moses would return to the camp, and (Q)his attendant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Moses and the Glory of Yahweh
12 Then Moses said to Yahweh, “See, You say to me, ‘(R)Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know (S)whom You will send with me. (T)Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’ 13 So now, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, (U)let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. (V)See also, that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “(W)My presence shall go with you, and (X)I will give you rest.” 15 Then he said to Him, “(Y)If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here. 16 Indeed, how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that (Z)we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the [d]earth?”
17 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; (AA)for you have found favor in My sight, and I have known you by name.” 18 (AB)Then [e]Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” 19 And He said, “(AC)I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you; and (AD)I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face, (AE)for no man can see Me and live!” 21 Then Yahweh said, “Behold, there is a place [f]by Me, and (AF)you shall stand there on the rock; 22 and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and (AG)cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove My hand, and you shall see My back, but (AH)My face shall not be seen.”
