< Exodo 32 >
1 Sa pagkakita sa katawhan nga nadugay si Moises sa paglugsong gikan sa bukid, nangadto sila kang Aaron ug miingon, “Dali ngari, buhati kami ug usa ka diosdios nga maoy mangulo alang kanamo. Kay alang niining Moises, ang tawo nga nagpagawas kanamo sa Ehipto, wala na kami masayod sa nahitabo kaniya”
[(Moses/I) stayed on top of the mountain a long time]. When the people realized that he/I was not returning quickly, they gathered near Aaron and said to him, “We do not know what has happened to that man Moses who brought us here out of Egypt. So quickly, make us ([an idol/a statue of a god]) who will lead us!”
2 Busa miingon si Aaron kanila, “Panguhaa ang mga ariyos nga bulawan sa inyong mga asawa, sa inyong mga anak nga lalaki ug babaye, ug dad-a kini nganhi kanako.”
Aaron replied to them, “All right, [I will do that, but] tell your wives and your sons and your daughters to take off all their gold earrings and bring them to me.”
3 Gipatangtang sa tibuok katawhan ang mga ariyos nga bulawan ug gidala kini kang Aaron.
So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Gidawat niya ang bulawan gikan kanila, gitunaw kini diha sa hulmahan, ug gihulmang usa ka nating baka. Unya miingon ang katawhan, “O Israel, mao kini ang inyong dios nga nagpagawas kaninyo gikan sa yuta sa Ehipto.”
He took all those gold earrings and melted them in a fire. He [poured the gold into a mold and] made a statue that looked like a young bull. The people saw it and said, “This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt!”
5 Sa pagkakita ni Aaron niini, gibuhat niya ang usa ka halaran atubangan sa nating baka ug nagpahibalo; miingon siya, “Ugma mao ang kasaulogan sa pagpasidungog kang Yahweh.”
When Aaron saw [what was happening], he built an altar in front of the [statue of the] young bull. Then he announced, “Tomorrow we will have a festival to honor Yahweh!”
6 Nangmata ang katawhan sayo sa kabuntagon ug naghalad sa mga halad sinunog ug ang mga halad sa panaghiusa. Unya nanglingkod sila aron sa pagpangaon ug sa pag-inom, ug nanindog aron sa pagpatuyang sa hilabihan nga paglipaylipay.
So the people got up early the next morning and brought animals to kill and burn as sacrifices on the altar. They also brought sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then they sat down to eat and drink [wine]. Then they got up and started dancing in a very immoral way.
7 Unya gisultihan ni Yahweh si Moises, “Pagdali, kay ang imong katawhan kansang gipagawas mo gikan sa yuta sa Ehipto nagpakahugaw sa ilang kaugalingon.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back down from the mountain, because your people, the ones that you brought up here from Egypt, have [already] (become very depraved/wicked)!
8 Gitalikdan dayon nila ang paagi nga gisugo ko alang kanila. Gihulma nila ang usa ka nating baka alang sa ilang kaugalingon, unya gisimba kini ug naghalad alang niini. Miingon sila, 'O Israel, mao kini ang dios nga nagpagawas kaninyo gikan sa yuta sa Ehipto.'”
They have already (left the road that I showed them/stopped obeying me)! They have made [a statue of] a young bull from melted gold. They have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. And they are saying, ‘This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from Egypt!’”
9 Unya gisultihan ni Yahweh si Moises, “Nasayran ko na kining katawhan. Tan-awa, mga gahi gayod ug ulo kining mga tawhana.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
10 Busa karon, ayaw ako pakganga. Ang akong kasuko mosilaob batok kanila, busa laglagon ko gayod sila. Unya buhaton ko ang usa ka dakong nasod gikan kanimo.”
I am very angry with them, and so I am going to get rid of them. Do not try to stop me! Then I will cause you and your descendants to become a great nation.”
11 Apan gisulayan ni Moises paghupay si Yahweh nga iyang Dios, Miingon siya, “O Yahweh, nganong misilaob man ang imong kasuko batok sa imong katawhan, nga gipagawas mo gikan sa yuta sa Ehipto uban ang dakong gahom ug ang kusgan nga kamot?
But Moses/I pleaded with his/my God, Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, (you should not be very angry with your people!/why are you so angry with your people [RHQ]?) These are the people whom you rescued from Egypt with very great power [MTY, DOU]!
12 Nganong kinahanglan man mosulti ang mga Ehiptohanon, 'Gipagawas niya sila nga may daotang tinguha, aron pamatyon sila sa kabungtoran ug aron laglagon sila sa kalibotan?' Ayaw na padayona ang pagpasilaob sa imong kasuko ug ayaw na pahamtangi ug silot ang imong katawhan.
Do not [do anything that would] allow the people of Egypt to say, ‘Their god led them out from our country, but [he did that] only [because he wanted] to kill them in the mountains and get rid of them completely [RHQ]!’ Stop being so angry! (Change your mind/Do not do what you have told me that you will do)! Do not do to your people this terrible thing [that you have just said that you will do]
13 Hinumdomi si Abraham, si Isaac, ug si Israel nga imong mga sulugoon, nga imong gipanumpaan ug miingon kanila, 'Padaghanon ko ang inyong kaliwatan sama kadaghan sa kabituonan sa langit, ug ihatag ko sa inyong mga kaliwatan kining mga yuta nga akong gisulti. Mapanunod kini nila hangtod sa kahangtoran.'”
Think about your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You solemnly promised them, ‘I will enable you to have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.’ You said to them, ‘I will give to your descendants all the land that I am promising to give them. It will be their land forever.’”
14 Unya wala na gipahamtang ni Yahweh ang silot nga iyang gisulti nga ipahamtang sa iyang katawhan.
So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
15 Unya mibiya si Moises ug milugsong sa bukid nga nagbitbit sa duha ka papan nga bato sa kasabotan sa mga balaod. Gisulatan ang isigkakilid sa duha ka papan nga bato, maingon man usab sa atubangan usab ug sa likod niini.
Moses/I turned away from God and went down the mountain, carrying in his hands the two stone slabs on which Yahweh had engraved his commandments. He had written on both sides of the slabs.
16 Ang mga papan nga bato hinimo mismo sa Dios, ug ang mga sinulat gisulat usab sa Dios, nga kinulit diha sa mga papan nga bato.
God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
17 Sa pagkadungog ni Josue sa kaguliyang sa katawhan sa ilang pagpaninggit, miingon siya kang Moises, “Adunay kagahob nga ingon sa gubat sulod sa kampo.”
Joshua heard the very loud noise of the people shouting. So when he and I got near the camp, Joshua said, “There is a noise in the camp that sounds like [the noise of] a battle!”
18 Apan miingon si Moises, “Dili kana kagahob sa kadaogan, ug dili kagahob sa napildi nga katawhan, kondili kagahob sa panag-awit ang akong nadungog.”
But Moses/I replied, [“No], that is not the shouting that people do when they have won a victory or when they have been defeated [in a battle] What I hear is the sound of [loud] singing!”
19 Sa nagkaduol na si Moises sa kampo, nakita na niya ang nating baka ug ang panagsayaw sa katawhan. Hilabihan ang iyang kasuko. Gibusdak niya ang duha ka papan nga bato ug nabungkag kini diha sa tiilan sa bukid.
As soon as Moses/I came close to the camp and saw the statue of the young bull and saw the people dancing, he/I became extremely angry. He/I threw the stone tablets that he/I was carrying down onto the ground, there at the base of the mountain.
20 Gikuha niya ang nating baka nga gihimo sa katawhan, gidaoban kini, gidugmok, ug gisagol sa tubig. Unya gipainom niya kini sa katawhan sa Israel.
Then he/I took the statue of the young bull that they had made and melted it in the fire. [When it cooled], he/I ground it into [fine] powder. Then he/I mixed the powder with water and forced the Israeli people to drink it.
21 Unya miingon si Moises kang Aaron, “Unsa man ang gihimo niining katawhan kanimo, nga giangin mo man sila niining dakong sala?”
Then he/I said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, with the result that you have made them commit such a terrible sin?”
22 Miingon si Aaron, “Ayaw palabi sa imong kasuko, akong agalon. Nasayod ka bitaw niining mga tawhana, kung unsa gayod nila ka gusto ang pagbuhat ug daotan.
Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
23 Miingon sila kanako, 'Buhati kami ug usa ka dios nga maoy mangulo alang kanamo. Kay alang niining Moises, ang tawo nga nagpagawas kanamo sa Ehipto, wala na kami masayod sa nahitabo kaniya.'
They said to me, ‘As for that man Moses, the one who brought us up here from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. So make for us an idol that will lead us!’
24 Busa miingon ako kanila, 'Si bisan kinsang tawo nga may mga bulawan, tangtanga kini.' Gihatag nila ang mga bulawan ug giitsa ko kini sa kalayo, ug mitungha kining nating baka.”
So I said to them, ‘Everyone who is wearing [gold earrings] should take them off.’ So they [took them off and] gave them to me. I threw them into the fire, and out came this statue of a young bull!”
25 Nakita ni Moises nga dili na mapugngan ang katawhan (kay gipasagdan sila ni Aaron, nga maoy hinungdan nga gibugalbugalan sila sa ilang mga kaaway).
Moses/I saw that Aaron had allowed the people to become completely out of control and to do things that would make their enemies think the Israeli people were foolish.
26 Unya mibarog si Moises sa agianan sa kampo ug miingon, “Kinsa katong dapig kang Yahweh, duol kanako.” Miduol kaniya ang tanang mga Levita.
So he/I stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “Everyone who is loyal to Yahweh should come [closer] to me!” So the descendants of Levi gathered around him/me.
27 Miingon siya kanila, “Si Yahweh ang Dios sa Israel, nag-ingon niini: 'Ang tagsatagsa ka tawo kinahanglan magtakin sa ilang espada ug lukopon sa pagsuroy ang tibuok agianan sa tibuok kampo, ug pamatyon ang iyang igsoong lalaki, ang iyang kaubanan, ug ang iyang silingan.'”
Then he/I said to them, “Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, commands that every one of you should fasten your sword to your side, and then go through the camp from this entrance to the other one, and kill some of your relatives and your companions and your neighbors.”
28 Gituman sa mga Levita ang gisugo ni Moises. Niadto gayong adlawa 3, 000 ka mga tawo ang nangamatay.
The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
29 Miingon si Moises sa mga Levita, “Karon gitugahan kamo nga moalagad kang Yahweh, kay ang tagsatagsa kaninyo nagpatay man batok sa iyang anak nga lalaki ug sa iyang igsoong lalaki, busa gipanalanginan kamo ni Yahweh karong adlawa.”
Moses/I said to the descendants of Levi, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to serving Yahweh by (killing/not sparing) [even] your own sons and brothers, and as a result Yahweh will bless you.”
30 Pagkasunod adlaw miingon si Moises sa katawhan, “Nakabuhat kamo ug usa ka dakong nga sala. Karon motungas ako ngadto kang Yahweh. Tingali mahimo ko pa ang pagtabon alang sa inyong sala.”
The next day, Moses/I said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But I will now climb up the mountain again to talk with Yahweh. Perhaps I can [persuade him] to forgive you for sinning [like this].”
31 Mibalik si Moises kang Yahweh ug miingon, “O kining katawhan nakabuhat ug usa ka dakong sala ug gibuhat nila ang usa ka diosdios nga bulawan.
So Moses/I went back up the mountain and said to Yahweh, “I am sorry to admit that these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made for themselves a gold idol and have worshiped it.
32 Apan karon, pasayloa intawon ang ilang mga sala; kung dili ka makapasaylo, papasa ako sa talaan nga imong gisulat.”
But now I ask you to please forgive them for having sinned. If you will not forgive them, then erase my name from the book in which you have written [the names of your people].”
33 Gisultihan ni Yahweh si Moises, “Si bisan kinsa ang nakasala batok kanako, kanang tawhana mao ang papason ko sa akong talaan.
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
34 Busa karon lakaw, pangulohi ang katawhan didto sa dapit nga gisulti ko kanimo. Ania, ang akong mga anghel magagiya kaninyo. Apan sa umaabot nga adlaw nga silotan ko sila, pagasilotan ko gayod sila tungod sa ilang mga sala.”
Now you go back down and lead the [Israeli] people to the place that I told you about. Keep in mind that my angel will go in front of you. But, at the time that I determine, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Unya gipadad-an ni Yahweh ug katalagman ang katawhan tungod kay gihimo nila ang nating baka, kadtong gibuhat ni Aaron.
[Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
