MHUBIRI: FAUSTINE GUTAPAKA

Kutoka 33:1-6

[1]BWANA akanena na Musa, Haya, ondokeni, katokeni hapo, wewe na hao watu uliowaleta wakwee kutoka nchi ya Misri, waende nchi hiyo niliyomwapia Ibrahimu, na Isaka, na Yakobo, niliposema, Nitakipa kizazi chako nchi hii; 

And 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:

[2]nami nitamtuma malaika aende mbele yako; nami nitawafukuza Mkanaani, na Mwamori, na Mhiti, na Mperizi, na Mhivi, na Myebusi; 

And 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:

[3]waifikilie nchi imiminikayo maziwa na asali; kwa maana mimi sitakwenda kati yenu; kwa sababu ninyi ni watu wenye shingo ngumu; nisiwaangamize ninyi katika njia. 

Unto 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]Watu waliposikia habari hizo mbaya wakaomboleza wala hapana mtu aliyevaa vyombo vyake vya uzuri. 

And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

[5]BWANA akamwambia Musa, Waambie wana wa Israeli, Ninyi ni watu wenye shingo ngumu; kama mimi nikiingia kati yenu dakika moja, nitawaangamiza; basi sasa vueni vyombo vyenu vya uzuri ili nipate kujua nitakalowatenda. 

For 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.

[6]Basi wana wa Israeli wakavua vyombo vyao vyote vya uzuri, tangu mlima wa Horebu na mbele. 

And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
