Exodus 33:11-16
[11]And 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.
Naye BWANA akasema na Musa uso kwa uso, k**a vile mtu asemavyo na rafiki yake. Kisha akageuka akarejea hata maragoni; bali mtumishi wake Yoshua, mwana wa Nuni, naye ni kijana, hakutoka mle hemani. Maombezi ya Musa kwa Mungu
[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.
Musa akamwambia BWANA, Angalia, wewe waniambia, Wachukue watu hawa; nawe hukunijulisha ni nani utakayemtuma pamoja nami. Walakini umesema, Nakujua jina lako, nawe umepata neema mbele zangu.
[13]Now 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.
Basi, sasa nakuomba, ikiwa nimepata neema mbele zako, unionyeshe njia zako, nipate kukujua, ili nipate neema mbele zako; ukakumbuke ya kuwa taifa hilo ndilo watu wako.
[14]And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Akasema, Uso wangu utakwenda pamoja nawe, nami nitakupa raha.
[15]And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
Naye akamwambia, Uso wako usipokwenda pamoja nami, usituchukue kutoka hapa.
[16]For 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.
Kwa maana itajulikanaje kuwa nimepata neema mbele zako, mimi na watu wako? Siyo kwa sababu unakwenda pamoja nasi, hata mimi na watu wako tutengwe na watu wote walio juu ya uso wa nchi?
