خرُوج 32
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى الشَّعْبُ أَنَّ مُوسَى قَدْ طَالَتْ إقَامَتُهُ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ، اجْتَمَعُوا حَوْلَ هَرُونَ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَيَّا، اصْنَعْ لَنَا إِلَهاً يَتَقَدَّمُنَا فِي مَسِيرِنَا، لأَنَّنَا لَا نَدْرِي مَاذَا أَصَابَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ مُوسَى الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ». | ١ 1 |
When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ هَرُونُ: «انْزِعُوا أَقْرَاطَ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي فِي آذَانِ نِسَائِكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ وَبَنِيكُمْ، وَأَعْطُونِي إِيَّاهَا». | ٢ 2 |
Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”
| فَنَزَعُوهَا مِنْ آذَانِهِمْ، وَجَاءُوا بِها إِلَيْهِ. | ٣ 3 |
All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
| فَأَخَذَهَا مِنْهُمْ وَصَهَرَهَا وَصَاغَ عِجْلاً. عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالُوا: «هَذِهِ آلِهَتُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَتْكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ». | ٤ 4 |
He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ هَرُونُ ذَلِكَ شَيَّدَ مَذْبَحاً أَمَامَ الْعِجْلِ وَأَعْلَنَ: «غَداً هُوَ عِيدٌ لِلرَّبِّ». | ٥ 5 |
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh.”
| فَبَكَّرَ الشَّعْبُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي وَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَقَدَّمُوا قَرَابِينَ سَلامٍ. ثُمَّ احْتَفَلُوا فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا، وَمِنْ ثَمَّ قَامُوا لِلَّهْوِ وَالْمُجُونِ. | ٦ 6 |
They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
| فَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «قُمْ وَانْزِلْ فَإِنَّ الشَّعْبَ الَّذِي قَدْ أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، قَدْ فَسَدَ. | ٧ 7 |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!
| إِذِ انْحَرَفُوا سَرِيعاً عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، فَصَاغُوا لَهُمْ عِجْلاً وَعَبَدُوهُ وَذَبَحُوا لَهُ الذَّبَائِحَ هَاتِفِينَ: هَذَا هُوَ إِلهُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ». | ٨ 8 |
They have turned away quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «لَقَدْ تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَإذَا بِهِ شَعْبٌ عَنِيدٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ. | ٩ 9 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
| وَالآنَ دَعْنِي وَغَضَبِي الْمُحْتَدِمَ فَأَفْنِيَهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَجْعَلَكَ أَنْتَ شَعْباً عَظِيماً». | ١٠ 10 |
Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
| فَابْتَهَلَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا يَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبُكَ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مُقْتَدِرَةٍ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
| لِمَاذَا يَشْمَتُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ فِينَا قَائِلِينَ: لَقَدِ احْتَالَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَهُهُمْ فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ هَهُنَا لِيُهْلِكَهُمْ فِي الْجِبَالِ وَيُفْنِيَهُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ. ارْجِعْ عَنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِكَ وَلا تُوْقِعْ هَذَا الْعِقَابَ بِشَعْبِكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Why should the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath, and turn away from this evil against your people.
| اذْكُرْ وُعُودَكَ لِعَبِيدِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتَ لَهُمْ بِنَفْسِكَ قَائِلاً: أُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكُمْ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ، وَأَهَبُكُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدْتُ بِها فَتَمْلِكُونَهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
| فَتَرَاءَفَ الرَّبُّ وَلَمْ يُوْقِعْ بِشَعْبِهِ الْعِقَابَ الَّذِي تَوَعَّدَ بِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
So Yahweh turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.
| ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مُوسَى وَانْحَدَرَ مِنَ الجَبَلِ حَامِلاً فِي يَدِهِ لَوْحَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ (الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرِ)، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ كِتَابَةٌ عَلَى وَجْهَيْ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا، | ١٥ 15 |
Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.
| وَكَانَ اللهُ قَدْ صَنَعَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ وَنَقَشَ الْكِتَابَةَ عَلَيْهِمَا. | ١٦ 16 |
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
| وَسَمِعَ يَشُوعُ هُتَافَ الشَّعْبِ فَقَالَ لِمُوسَى: «هَذَا صَوْتُ تَأَهُّبٍ لِقِتَالٍ فِي المُخَيَّمِ». | ١٧ 17 |
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «هَذَا لَيْسَ هُتَافَ نَصْرَةٍ وَلا صُرَاخَ هَزِيمَةٍ، لَكِنْ مَا أَسْمَعُهُ هُوَ صَوْتُ غِنَاءٍ». | ١٨ 18 |
He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”
| وَمَا إِنِ اقْتَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنَ الْمُخَيَّمِ وَشَاهَدَ الْعِجْلَ وَالرَّقْصَ حَتَّى احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُ وَأَلْقَى بِاللَّوْحَيْنِ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَكَسَّرَهُمَا عِنْدَ سَفْحِ الْجَبَلِ. | ١٩ 19 |
As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ العِجْلَ الذَّهَبِيَّ وَأَحْرَقَهُ بِالنَّارِ وَطَحَنَهُ حَتَّى صَارَ نَاعِماً، وَذَرَّاهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَاءِ وَأَرْغَمَهُمْ عَلَى الشُّرْبِ مِنْهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
| وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهرُونَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلَ بِكَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ حَتَّى جَلَبْتَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْخَطِيئَةَ الْعَظِيمَةَ؟» | ٢١ 21 |
Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”
| فَأَجَابَ هَرُونُ: «لا يَحْتَدِمْ غَضَبُ سَيِّدِي. إِنَّكَ تَعْرِفُ شَرَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
| لَقَدْ قَالُوا لِي: اصْنَعْ لَنَا إِلَهاً يَتَقَدَّمُنَا فِي مَسِيرِنَا، لأَنَّنَا لَا نَدْرِي مَاذَا أَصَابَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ مُوسَى الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
| فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ مَنْ لَدَيْهِ ذَهَبٌ فَلْيَنْزِعْهُ وَيُعْطِنِي إِيَّاهُ، فَطَرَحْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ فَخَرَجَ هَذَا الْعِجْلُ». | ٢٤ 24 |
I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.’ So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى مُوسَى أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ غَارِقٌ فِي مُجُونِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَفْلَتَ هَرُونُ زِمَامَهُمْ فَصَارُوا بِذَلِكَ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، | ٢٥ 25 |
When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision among their enemies),
| وَقَفَ فِي بَابِ الْمُخَيَّمِ وَصَاحَ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَتْبَعُ الرَّبَّ فَلْيُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ هُنَا». فَاجْتَمَعَ حَوْلَهُ اللّاوِيُّونَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
| فَهَتَفَ بِهِمْ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: لِيَتَقَلَّدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ، وَجُولُوا فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ ذِهَاباً وَإِيَاباً مِنْ مَدْخَلٍ إِلَى مَدْخَلٍ، وَاقْتُلُوا كُلَّ دَاعِرٍ أَخاً كَانَ أَمْ صَاحِباً أَمْ قَرِيباً». | ٢٧ 27 |
He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”
| فَأَطَاعَ اللّاوِيُّونَ أَمْرَ مُوسَى. فَقُتِلَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people that day.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ مُوسَى لِلّاوِيِّينَ: «لَقَدْ كَرَّسْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّفَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ قَتْلَ ابْنِهِ أَوْ أَخِيهِ، وَلِكِنْ لِيُنْعِمْ عَلَيْكُمُ الرَّبُّ فِي هَذَا اليَوْمِ بِبَرَكَةٍ». | ٢٩ 29 |
Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today.”
| وَفِي الْغَدِ قَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَقَدِ ارْتَكَبْتُمْ خَطِيئَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَهَا أَنَا أَعُودُ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لأَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لَعَلِّي أَحْظَى لَكُمْ بِغُفْرَانِهِ». | ٣٠ 30 |
On the next day, Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”
| وَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَتَضَرَّعَ قَائِلاً: «يَا رَبُّ لَقَدِ اقْتَرَفَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ خَطِيئَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَصَاغُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ إِلَهاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
| وَالآنَ إِنْ شِئْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، وَإلَّا فَامْحُنِي مِنْ كِتَابِكَ الَّذِي كَتَبْتَ». | ٣٢ 32 |
Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «الَّذِي أَخْطَأَ إِلَيَّ أَمْحُوهُ مِنْ كِتَابِي | ٣٣ 33 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book.
| وَالآنَ اذْهَبْ، وَقُدِ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتُهُ لَكَ. وَهَا هُوَ مَلاكِي يَتَقَدَّمُكَ، وَلَكِنْ لابُدَّ مِنْ مُعَاقَبَةِ الشَّعْبِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِهِمْ فِي يَوْمِ قَضَائِي». | ٣٤ 34 |
Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
| وَضَرَبَ الرَّبُّ الشَّعْبَ بالْوَبَأِ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ عَلَى عِبَادَةِ الْعِجْلِ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ هَرُونُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Yahweh struck the people, because of what they did with the calf, which Aaron made.
