Sunglatnah 32
1 Pilnam loh tlang lamkah Mosesa suntlak ham yak coeng tilaa hmuh. Te dongah pilnamte Aaron taengla tingtun uh tih a taengah, “Thoo lamtah kaimih ham pathen saii laeh. Tete mamih hmai ah cet saeh. Egypt kho lamloh mamih aka khuen Moses he, hlang khaw a taengah mebanga om khaw m'ming uh moenih,” a ti uh.
And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him.
2 Te dongah Aaron loh amih te, “Na yuu rhoek, na canu, na capa hna dongkah sui hnaiite dul uh lamtah kai taengah hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Pilnam pumloh a hna dongkah sui hnaii tea dul uh tih Aaron taenglaa khuen uh.
And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.
4 Amih kut lamkah a loh phoeiah tah te te cacung neh a dum tih vaito mueihlawn la a saii. Te phoeiah, “Israel nang kah pathen la he, he long ni Egypt kho lamloh nang ng'khuen he,” a ti uh.
And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders’ work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
5 Aaronloh a hmuh vaengah a hmai ah hmueihtuka suem. Te phoeiah Aaronloh a hoe tih, “Thangvuenah BOEIPA taengah khotue om ni,” a ti nah.
And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier’s voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.
6 A vuenah thoo uh tih hmueihhlutnaha khuen uh. Rhoepnaha tawn phoeiah tah pilnamte ngol tih a caaka ok neh thoo uh tih nuei uh.
And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play.
7 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Egypt kho lamkahna khuen na pilnam he a poci coeng dongah cet lamtah suntla laeh.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.
8 Amih ka uen longpuei lamloh vilvak taengphael uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn vaitoa saii uh. Te tea bawk uh tih te tea nawn uh. Te phoeiah, “Namah pathen long ni Israel khaw Egypt kho lamloh na khuen,” a ti uh,” a ti nah.
They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
9 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam he ka hmuh vaengah pilnam kah a rhawn khaw mangkhak rhoe he.
And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:
10 Te dongah kai he n'rhoe laeh. Ka thintoek he amih taengah sai vetih amih ka khap lah ve. Tedae nang te namtom taengah pilnu la kang khueh bitni,” a ti nah.
Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation.
11 Te vaengah Moses tah a Pathen BOEIPA neh a maelhmai te thae coeng. Tedae, “BOEIPA aw balae tih Egypt kho lamloh tanglue thadueng neh, tlungluen kut nehna khuen na pilnam taengah na thintoek khaw a sai eh?
But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Balae tih Egypt rhoek loh a thui mai eh? A thae la, “Amih te tlang ah ngawn ham neh amihte diklai hman lamloh khah ham ni amiha khuen,” ti ve. Na thintoek thinsa lamloh mael lamtah na pilnam sokah boethae khaw kohlawt mai.
Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of thy people.
13 Abraham te khaw, Isaak te khaw, na sal Israel te khaw poek mai. Namah loh amih taengahna toemngam tih amih te, 'Na tiingan te vaan aisi bangla, ka ping sak vetih khohmuen pum he na tiingan taengah ka paek vetih kumhal hama pang uh ni,’ ka ti nah,” na ti,” a ti nah.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to you seed, and you shall possess it for ever.
14 Te vaengah a pilnam soah boethae saii hama thui tangtae te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt.
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
15 Te daengah Moseste mael tih a kut dongkah olphong cabael panit neh tlang lamloh suntla thuk. Cabael rhoi te a vae rhoi aha daek pah tih khatben ah khaw khatben ah khaw a daek.
And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
16 Te rhoi tah Pathen kah kutngo cabael coeng tih, Pathen kah a cadaeka cadaekte amah loh cabael dongaha daek.
And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.
17 Pilnam kah a o ol te Joshualoh a yaak van vaengah Moses te, “Rhaehhmuen kah caemtloek ol te,” a ti nah.
And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
18 Tedae, “Thayung thamal aka doo ham ol pawt tih yawknah aka doo kah ol bal moenih. A doo ol ka yaak ngawn dae,” a ti nah.
But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers.
19 Rhaehhmuen laa moe vaengah vaitoca neh a lam tea hmuh. Te dongah Moses kah thintoekte sai tih a kut tea voeih. Te dongah a kut lamkah cabael rhoi khaw tlang yungah bok rhek.
And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of the mount:
20 Te phoeiah vaitocaa saii uh tea loh tih hmai neha hoeh. A tip laa neet phoeiah tui soaha phul tih Israel carhoek tea tul.
And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strowed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink.
21 Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron te, “A taengah tholh lenna khuen pah ham he pilnam loh nang taengah balaea saii?” a ti nah.
And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
22 Te vaengah Aaron loh, “Ka boeipa kah thintoek khaw sai boel mai dae saeh. Pilnam a thae aih khaw namah loh na ming.
And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
23 Kai taengah, “Kaimih ham pathen saii lamtah tete mamih hmai ah cet bitni. Egypt kho lamloh mamih aka mawt hlang, Moses he a taengah metlaa om khaw m'ming moenih,” a ti uh.
They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him.
24 Te dongah amih te, “U khaw sui aka tah dul uh,” ka ti nah. Te vaengah kamah taengla m'paek uh tih hmai dongah ka pup hatah he vaitoca la poeh,” a ti nah.
And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
25 Te vaengah pilnam tea hlahpham coeng tila Mosesloh a hmuh. Amih aka tlai thil taengah Aaron loh nueih thaboep laa hlahpham dong ni.
And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked among their enemies, )
26 Te dongah Moses tah rhaehhmuen vongka ah pai tih, “BOEIPA kah te tah kai taengla,” a tinah hatah Levi koca boeihte anih taengla tingtun uh.
Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord’s side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him:
27 Te phoeiah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang loh a cunghangte a phai ah kaelh saeh. Cet saeh lamtah vongka lamloh vongka patoeng hil rhaehhmuen te hil saeh. Te vaengah a manuca hlang te khaw, a hui kah hlang khaw, a hmaiben hlang khaw ngawn saeh,” a ti nah.
And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour.
28 Te dongah Moses ol bangla Levi koca rhoek loh a saii uh tih te hnin ah pilnam khuikah hlang thawng thum tluk cungku.
And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
29 Te daengah Moses loh, “Tihninah BOEIPA ham na kut han cung sak coeng. Hlang he a ca taengah khaw a manuca taengah khaw, tihninah nangmih te yoethennah m'paek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.
30 A vuen ah tah Moses loh pilnam te, “Nangmih he tholh len neh na tholh uh coeng dae BOEIPA taengah ka cet pawn vetih nangmih kah tholhnah ham ka dawth thai khaming,” a ti nah.
And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
31 Te phoeiah Moseste BOEIPA taengla mael tih, “Pilnam he aw, amamih ham sui pathena saii uh dongah tholh len neh tholh coeng.
And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass,
32 Tedae amih kah tholhnah phuei mai laeh. Te pawt atah kai he na daek tangtae na cabu lamloh n'khoe mai laeh,” a ti nah.
Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
33 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Kai taengah aka tholh te unim? Anihte ka cabu lamloh ka khoe bitni.
And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:
34 Te dongah cet lamtah nang taengah kan thui bangla pilnam te mawt laeh. Ka puencawn loh na hmai ah cet bitni ne. Ka cawh khohnin ah ngawn tah amamih kah tholhnah bangla amamih soah ka cawh van bitni,” a ti nah.
But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs.
35 Aaron kah a saii bangla vaitoca tea saii uh dongah BOEIPA loh pilnam tea vuek.
The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
