Exodus 32
1 Mae hoiah Mosi angzo tathuk ai boeh, tito kaminawk mah panoek o naah, kaminawk loe Aaron khaeah amkhueng o moe, anih khaeah, Angthawk ah; kaicae hmaa ah caeh hanah sithawnawk to na sah pae ah; Izip prae thung hoi kaicae zaehoikung Mosi loe, kawbang maw oh ving boeh, tito a panoek o ai boeh, tiah a naa o.
And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him—Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.
2 Aaron mah nihcae khaeah, Na zunawk, na capanawk hoi na canunawk ih sui naa tangkraengnawk to angkhring oh loe, kai khaeah na sin oh, tiah a naa.
And Aaron said unto them, Break off the rings of gold, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons and of your daughters, —and bring them unto me.
3 To pongah kaminawk boih mah angmacae ih sui naa tangkraeng to angkring o moe, Aaron khaeah sin pae o.
And all the people of themselves brake off the rings of gold which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 Nihcae mah paek o ih hmuennawk to anih mah talawk boih moe, a sak pae pacoengah maitaw caa ih krang to a soi pae; Aw Israel, hae sithaw loe Izip prae thung hoiah nangcae zaehoikung sithawnawk boeh ni, tiah a naa.
And he received [the gold] at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf, and they said—These, are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up, out of the land of Egypt.
5 Aaron mah to hmuen to hnuk naah, maitaw caa hmaa ah hmaicam maeto sak moe, Khawnbang loe Angraeng hanah poih sakhaih niah om tih, tiah kaminawk khaeah taphongsak.
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, A festival to Yahweh, to-morrow!
6 To pongah kaminawk loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to sak o; caak naek hanah anghnut o moe, hnawh hanah angthawk o.
So they rose up early, on the morrow, and offered ascending-sacrifices, and brought near peace-offerings, and the people sat down, to eat and to drink, and then rose up—to make sport!
7 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Caeh tathuk ah, Izip prae thung hoiah na hoih ih kaminawk loe, amro o boih boeh;
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses—Go get thee down, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
8 nihcae han ka thuih pae ih loklam to karangah angqoi o taak moe, angmacae han maitaw caa krang to a sak o boeh; to krang to bok o moe, angbawnhaih to a sak o pacoengah, Aw Israel kaminawk, hae sithaw loe Izip prae thung hoi nangcae zaehoikung sithaw ah ni oh o boeh, tiah a thuih o, tiah a naa.
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, they have made for themselves—a molten calf, and have bowed themselves down thereto and have sacrificed thereto, and have said. These, are thy gods, O Israel, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae kaminawk hae ka hnuk boeh; nihcae loe palungthah kami ah oh o;
So then Yahweh said unto Moses, —I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.
10 to pongah kaimah bueng na caehtaak ah; hmai baktih kamngaeh palungphuihaih hoiah nihcae to ka kanghsak moe, kam rosak boih han; to pacoengah nang hae kalen parai acaeng ah kang sak han, tiah a naa.
Now, therefore, let me alone, that mine anger may kindle upon them and that I may consume them, and may make of thee a great nation.
11 Toe Mosi mah angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, Angraeng, tipongah na sak thaihaih, na ban thacakhaih hoiah Izip prae thung hoi na zaehhoih ih nangmah ih kaminawk to palungphuihaih hoiah nam rosak boih han loe?
And Moses besought the face of Yahweh his God, —and said—Wherefore, O Yahweh, should thine anger kindle upon thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great might and with a firm hand?
12 Tipongah Izip kaminawk mah, Sithaw loe kasae poekhaih tawnh, to pongah ni nihcae to mae nuiah hum moe, long pum hoiah tamit boih hanah, a caeh haih, tiah thuih han koi ah oh ving loe? Hmai baktih kamngaeh palungphuihaih to dipsak ah loe, nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah sak han ih kasae poekhaih to dawnpakhuem raeh.
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak saying—For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to thy people,
13 Na tamna Abraham, Issak hoi Israel khaeah, Na caanawk loe van ih cakaeh zetto kang pungsak moe, dungzan ah qawk na toep o thai hanah, long nuiah kaom hmuennawk boih kang paek han, tiah na thuih ih lok to pahnet hmah raeh, tiah a naa.
Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, —and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding.
14 To naah Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk nuiah kasae sak han poekhaih to dawnpakhuem let.
So then Yahweh was grieved, —over the calamity—which he had spoken of inflicting on his people.
15 Mosi loe a ban ah hnukung thlung kangphaek hnetto sin moe, mae nui hoiah anghum tathuk; thlung kangphaek hnetto pongah, ahnuk ahmaa ca to tarik.
And Moses turned and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, —tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written.
16 To thlung kangphaek hnetto loe, Sithaw mah sak ih thlung kangphaek ah oh moe, Sithaw mah ni ca doeh tarik.
Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, —and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables.
17 Kaminawk hanghaih lok to Joshua mah thaih naah, Mosi khaeah, ataihaih ahmuen ah misatukhaih lok to ka thaih, tiah a naa.
And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, —so he said unto Moses—The noise of war, in the camp!
18 Mosi mah, To hanghaih lok loe misa pazawhaih lok na ai ni, misa sunghaih lok doeh na ai ah, laasakhaih lok ni ka thaih, tiah a naa.
But he said—Not the noise of the cry of heroism, nor yet the noise of the cry of defeat, —the noise of alternate song, do I hear.
19 Ataihaih ahmuen taengah phak naah, Mosi mah maitaw caa hoi nawnto hnawh kaminawk to hnuk; hmai kamngaeh baktiah palung to phui pongah, a ban ih thlung kangphaek to a vah; mae tlim ah a vah phaeng.
And it came to pass when he drew near unto the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancings, that the anger of Moses kindled, and he cast out of his hands the tables, and brake them in pieces at the foot of the mountain.
20 Nihcae mah sak o ih maitaw caa to a lak moe, hmai thungah a vah pae; kadip puengah naep pae pacoengah, tui pongah phuih moe, Israel kaminawk to a naeksak.
Then took he the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it till it became powder, and strewed it on the face of the waters, and made the sons of Israel drink.
21 Aaron khaeah, Hae tiah kalen zaehaih to sak hanah, nihcae mah na nuiah tih hmuen maw a sak o? tiah a naa.
And Moses said unto Aaron, What had this people done to thee, —that thou shouldst have brought upon them a great sin?
22 Aaron mah, Ka angraeng, palungphuisak hmah; hae kaminawk loe kasae poekhaih a tawnh o, tito na panoek, tiah a naa.
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord kindle, —thou thyself, knowest the people, that ready for mischief, they are.
23 Kai khaeah, Kaicae hmabang ah ka caeh o thai hanah, sithawnawk to na sah paeh, Izip prae thung hoi kaicae zaehoikung Mosi loe, kawbang maw oh boeh, tito a panoek o ai boeh, tiah a thuih o.
So they said to me—Make for us gods, who shall go before us, —for, as for this, Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.
24 To pongah kai mah nihcae khaeah, Sui tawn kaminawk boih sui to angkhring oh loe, kai khaeah na paek oh, tiah ka naa. To naah nihcae mah sui to angkhring o moe, ang paek o; kai mah hmai thungah ka vah naah, maitaw caa ah angcoeng, tiah a naa.
And I said to them—Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, —and I cast it into the fire, and there came out—this calf.
25 (Aaron mah kaminawk to khen laek ai boeh pongah, a misanawk hmaa ah bangkrai ah ohsak), tito Mosi mah hnuk naah,
And Moses saw the people, that unbridled, they were, —for Aaron had given them the rein, for a whispering, among their enemies.
26 to pongah Mosi loe ataihaih khongkha ah angdoet moe, Angraeng bangah angdoe kaminawk boih, kai khaeah angzo oh, tiah a naa. To naah Levi caanawk boih anih taengah amkhueng o.
So Moses took his stand in the gate of the camp, and said—Who is for Yahweh? …To me! Then gathered unto him all the sons of Levi,
27 To pacoengah Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kami boih mah sumsen to avak nasoe; ataihaih ahmuen ih khongkha maeto hoi maeto boenghaih khoek to caeh nasoe loe, kami boih mah angmah ih nawkamya, angmah ih ampuinawk hoi angmah imtaeng kami to hum nasoe, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
And he said to them—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, —pass through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his neighbour.
28 Mosi mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Levinawk mah sak o; to na niah kami sang thumto duek o.
So the sons of Levi did, according to the word of Moses, —and there fell from among the people on that day, about three thousand men.
29 To pacoengah Mosi mah, Angraeng mah vai hniah tahamhoihaih paek hanah, kami boih angmah ih capa hoi angmah ih nawkamya humhaih rang hoiah, vaihniah nangmah hoi nangmah to Angraeng khaeah nang paek o boeh, tiah a naa.
And Moses said—Install yourselves to-day, unto Yahweh, yea every man for his son and for his brother, —so will he bestow upon you to-day, a blessing.
30 Khawnbang ah Mosi mah kaminawk khaeah, Kalen parai zaehaih to na sak o boeh; toe vaihi Angraeng khaeah ka caeh tahang moe, nangcae zae loihaih to ka sak thai thung ka sak han, tiah a naa.
And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, —Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.
31 To pongah Mosi loe Angraeng khaeah caeh let, Aw, hae kaminawk loe kalen parai zaehaih to a sak o moeng boeh! Sui to angmacae hanah sithaw ah a sak o boeh.
So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, —Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves—gods of gold.
32 Toe vaihiah nihcae zaehaih to tahmen raeh; a zae o haih na tahmen ai nahaeloe, na tarik ih cabu thung hoiah kai ih ahmin to phrae ving halat ah, tiah a naa.
Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, …but if not, blot me I pray thee out of thy book, which thou hast written,
33 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Ka hmaa ah zaehaih sah kami loe, anih ih ahmin to ka cabu thung hoiah ka phraek han.
And Yahweh said unto Moses, —Him who hath sinned against me, must I blot out of my book.
34 Vaihi caeh ah loe, kang thuih ih ahmuen ah kaminawk to caeh haih ah; khenah, kai ih van kami to na hmaa ah caeh tih; nihcae thuitaekhaih atue to phak naah, a zae o haih pongah nihcae to ka thuitaek han, tiah a naa.
Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! my messenger, shall go before thee, —But, in the day when I do visit, then will I visit upon them their sin.
35 Aaron mah sak pae ih maitaw caa pongah, Angraeng mah kaminawk to nathaih hoiah thuitaek.
And Yahweh plagued the people, —for what they had done with the calf, which Aaron made.
