Te te mamih hmai ah cet saeh. Egypt kho lamloh mamih aka khuen Moses he, hlang khaw a taengah mebang a om khaw m'ming uh moenih,” a ti uh.
When the people saw that Moses [Drawn out] delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron [Light-bringer], and said to him, “Come, make us deities, which shall lead us; for this Moses [Drawn out], the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], we don’t know what has become of him.”
2 Te dongah Aaron loh amih te, “Na yuu rhoek, na canu, na capa hna dongkah sui hnaii te dul uh lamtah kai taengah hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
Aaron [Light-bringer] 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.”
3 Pilnam pumloh a hna dongkah sui hnaii te a dul uh tih Aaron taengla a khuen uh.
All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron [Light-bringer].
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.
He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, “These are your deities, Israel [God prevails], which brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Aaron loh a hmuh vaengah a hmai ah hmueihtuk a suem. Te phoeiah Aaron loh a hoe tih, “Thangvuen ah BOEIPA taengah khotue om ni,” a ti nah.
When Aaron [Light-bringer] saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron [Light-bringer] made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Adonai.”
6 A vuen ah thoo uh tih hmueihhlutnah a khuen uh. Rhoepnah a tawn phoeiah tah pilnam te ngol tih a caak a ok neh thoo uh tih nuei uh.
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 pray.
7 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Egypt kho lamkah na khuen na pilnam he a poci coeng dongah cet lamtah suntla laeh.
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], “Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], have corrupted themselves!
8 Amih ka uen longpuei lamloh vilvak taengphael uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn vaito a saii uh. Te te a bawk uh tih te te a nawn uh. Te phoeiah, “Namah pathen long ni Israel khaw Egypt kho lamloh na khuen,” a ti uh,” a ti nah.
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I enjoined them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your deities, Israel [God prevails], which brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].’”
9 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam he ka hmuh vaengah pilnam kah a rhawn khaw mangkhak rhoe he.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
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.
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.”
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 neh na khuen na pilnam taengah na thintoek khaw a sai eh?
Moses [Drawn out] begged Adonai his God, and said, “Adonai, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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 amih te diklai hman lamloh khah ham ni amih a khuen,” ti ve. Na thintoek thinsa lamloh mael lamtah na pilnam sokah boethae khaw kohlawt mai.
Why should the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] speak, 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 teshuvah ·turn repent· of this evil against your people.
13 Abraham te khaw, Isaak te khaw, na sal Israel te khaw poek mai. Namah loh amih taengah na toemngam tih amih te, 'Na tiingan te vaan aisi bangla, ka ping sak vetih khohmuen pum he na tiingan taengah ka paek vetih kumhal ham a pang uh ni,’ ka ti nah,” na ti,” a ti nah.
Remember Abraham [Father of a multitude], Isaac [Laughter], and Israel [God prevails], 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.’”
14 Te vaengah a pilnam soah boethae saii ham a thui tangtae te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt.
Adonai changed his mind concerning the disaster which he planned for his people.
15 Te daengah Moses te mael tih a kut dongkah olphong cabael panit neh tlang lamloh suntla thuk. Cabael rhoi te a vae rhoi ah a daek pah tih khatben ah khaw khatben ah khaw a daek.
Moses [Drawn out] turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
16 Te rhoi tah Pathen kah kutngo cabael coeng tih, Pathen kah a cadaek a cadaek te amah loh cabael dongah a daek.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.
17 Pilnam kah a o ol te Joshua loh a yaak van vaengah Moses te, “Rhaehhmuen kah caemtloek ol te,” a ti nah.
When Joshua [Yah Salvation] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses [Drawn out], “There is the noise of war 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.
He said, “It is not 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 sh'ma ·hear obey·.”
19 Rhaehhmuen la a moe vaengah vaitoca neh a lam te a hmuh. Te dongah Moses kah thintoek te sai tih a kut te a voeih. Te dongah a kut lamkah cabael rhoi khaw tlang yung ah bok rhek.
As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses [Drawn out]’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
20 Te phoeiah vaitoca a saii uh te a loh tih hmai neh a hoeh. A tip la a neet phoeiah tui soah a phul tih Israel ca rhoek te a tul.
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 [God prevails] drink of it.
21 Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron te, “A taengah tholh len na khuen pah ham he pilnam loh nang taengah balae a saii?” a ti nah.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal· on them?”
22 Te vaengah Aaron loh, “Ka boeipa kah thintoek khaw sai boel mai dae saeh. Pilnam a thae aih khaw namah loh na ming.
Aaron [Light-bringer] said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23 Kai taengah, “Kaimih ham pathen saii lamtah te te mamih hmai ah cet bitni. Egypt kho lamloh mamih aka mawt hlang, Moses he a taengah metla a om khaw m'ming moenih,” a ti uh.
For they said to me, ‘Make us deities to lead us; for this Moses [Drawn out], the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], we don’t know what has become of 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.
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.”
25 Te vaengah pilnam te a hlahpham coeng tila Moses loh a hmuh. Amih aka tlai thil taengah Aaron loh nueih thaboep la a hlahpham dong ni.
When Moses [Drawn out] saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron [Light-bringer] had let them loose for a derision among their enemies),
26 Te dongah Moses tah rhaehhmuen vongka ah pai tih, “BOEIPA kah te tah kai taengla,” a ti nah hatah Levi koca boeih te anih taengla tingtun uh.
then Moses [Drawn out] stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Adonai’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi [United with] gathered themselves together to him.
27 Te phoeiah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang loh a cunghang te 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.
He said to them, “Adonai says, the God of Israel [God prevails], ‘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.’”
28 Te dongah Moses ol bangla Levi koca rhoek loh a saii uh tih te hnin ah pilnam khuikah hlang thawng thum tluk cungku.
The sons of Levi [United with] did according to the word of Moses [Drawn out]: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 Te daengah Moses loh, “Tihnin ah BOEIPA ham na kut han cung sak coeng. Hlang he a ca taengah khaw a manuca taengah khaw, tihnin ah nangmih te yoethennah m'paek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Adonai, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may give you a blessing today.”
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.
On the next day, Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “You have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal·. Now I will go up to Adonai. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your habitual sin ·missing the mark·.”
31 Te phoeiah Moses te BOEIPA taengla mael tih, “Pilnam he aw, amamih ham sui pathen a saii uh dongah tholh len neh tholh coeng.
Moses [Drawn out] teshuvah ·completely returned· to Adonai, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal·, and have made themselves deities of gold.
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.
Yet now, if you will, forgive their habitual sin ·missing the mark·— and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
33 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Kai taengah aka tholh te unim? Anih te ka cabu lamloh ka khoe bitni.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Whoever has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· against me, him will I blot 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.
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 habitual sin ·missing the mark·.”
35 Aaron kah a saii bangla vaitoca te a saii uh dongah BOEIPA loh pilnam te a vuek.
Adonai struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron [Light-bringer] made.
