Tâconae 32
1 Mosi teh mon hoi kum laipalah ngailawi ao toe tie tamimaya ni a panue awh toteh, tamimaya teh Aron koe a kamkhueng awh teh ahni koe thaw haw, kai mouh han lah na kahrawikung cathut sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Izip ram hoi na katâcawtkhaikung Mosi e bang pawlawk hai thai hoeh toe, telah ati awh.
Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!”
2 Aron ni, na yunaw hoi na capanaw hoi na canunaw a pacap awh e suihnapacap hah rading awh nateh kai koe thokhai awh atipouh.
So Aaron told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Hottelah tami pueng ni suihnapacap a pacap awh lahun e hah a rading awh teh Aron koe a thokhai awh.
Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Aron ni ahnimouh koe e a la teh, hreca hoi a thuk teh, maitoca meikaphawk lah a hlun. Hahoi ahnimouh ni Oe Isarelnaw, hetteh Izip ram hoi na katâcawtkhaikung nangmae cathut doeh, telah ati awh.
He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
5 Aron ni a hmu toteh, a hmalah khoungroe hah a sak. Aron ni, tangtho vah BAWIPA hanlah pawi awm naseh telah a oung sak.
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
6 Hottelah a tangtho vah, amom a thaw awh. Hmaisawi thuengnae a poe awh, roum thuengnae hah a poe awh teh, tamimaya teh canei hanelah a tahung awh teh lamtu hanlah a thaw awh,
So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.
7 BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh, kum leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na taminaw Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai e naw hah amamouh hoi amamouh koung a kâraphoe awh toe.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 Kaie kâpoelawk hah tang a phen takhai awh toe. Maitoca meikaphawk a sak awh teh a bawk awh teh, hot koe thuengnae a sak awh teh, Oe Isarel hetheh Izip ram hoi na katâcawtkhaikung doeh ati awh telah ati.
How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe hete taminaw hah ka khet toe, a lung ka patak poung e miphun doeh.
The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
10 Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh hmai koung sawi hanelah, ahnimouh lathueng ka lungkhueknae heh kaman naseh, nang heh ka lentoe e miphun lah na sak han telah ati.
Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
11 Mosi ni, BAWIPA Cathut koe, BAWIPA bangkongmaw kalen e thaonae hoi thaonae kut hoi Izip ram hoi na tâcosak e na taminaw lathueng vah na lungkhueknae teh a kaman.
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
12 Bangkongmaw Izipnaw ni monsom vah patawnae poe hane hoi, thei hanelah a tâcokhai awh, telah a dei awh han. Puenghoi na lungkhueknae hah roum sak nateh, na taminaw lathueng vah, hawihoehnae sak han na noe e heh kâhno lawih.
Why should the Egyptians declare, ‘He brought them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce anger and relent from doing harm to Your people.
13 Na san Abraham hoi Isak hoi Isarel koevah kalvan e âsinaw yit touh na catounnaw ka pung sak vaiteh, ka dei tangcoung ram heh na catoun ka poe vaiteh, a yungyoe a coe awh han, telah amahoima noe lahoi lawk na kam tangcoung e hah pahnim hanh lah a telah a kâhei.
Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”
14 Hot patetlah BAWIPA teh, a taminaw lathueng vah thoenae ka sak han ati nakoehoi a kâhno.
So the LORD relented from the calamity He had threatened to bring on His people.
15 Mosi teh a kamlang teh monsom hoi a kum teh, a kut dawk lawkpanuesaknae lungphen kahni touh ao. Lungphen teh avoivang lah thut e doeh.
Then Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
16 Lungphen teh Cathut ni sak e lah ao teh, thut e naw teh Cathut ma roeroe ni lungphen dawk thut e doeh.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 Hahoi Joshua ni tamimaya pawlawk a thai toteh, Mosi koevah, roenae hmuen koe kâtuknae ao nahoehmaw telah ati.
When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “The sound of war is in the camp.”
18 Hatei, ahni ni tânae pawlawk nahoeh, tâ e naw e hramki lawk hai nahoeh. Hateiteh, ka thai e heh la sak pawlawk doeh ati.
But Moses replied: “It is neither the cry of victory nor the cry of defeat; I hear the sound of singing!”
19 Hahoi, roenae teng a pha tahma hoi maitoca meikaphawk hoi kalamtunaw hah a hmu. Hottelah Mosi lungkhueknae teh a kaman teh lungphen a sin e hah a tâkhawng teh mon khok koe a kâbawng.
As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
20 A sak awh e maitoca hah a la teh, hmai a phum teh vitkatip lah a phom. Tui dawk a phuen teh Isarelnaw hah a nei sak.
Then he took the calf they had made, burned it in the fire, ground it to powder, and scattered the powder over the face of the water. Then he forced the Israelites to drink it.
21 Mosi ni Aron koevah, hettelah totouh yonnae kalen hah ahnimouh lathueng pha sak hanelah, hetnaw ni nang lathueng bangmaw a sak awh, telah atipouh.
“What did this people do to you,” Moses asked Aaron, “that you have led them into so great a sin?”
22 Aron ni ka bawipa lungkhueknae heh kaman payon hanh naseh. Hete tamimayanaw heh hawihoehnae koe lah pou kangvawinaw doeh tie teh na panue toe.
“Do not be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai koevah, kaimouh na ka hrawi hanelah cathut hah na sak pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mosi Izip ram hoi na kahrawikung heh a kamthang banghai thai e lah awm hoeh toe telah ati awh.
They told me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!’
24 Kai ni ahnimouh koe, sui katawnnaw ni rading awh naseh, ka ti pouh teh na poe awh. Hmai dawk ka phum toteh hete maitoca meikaphawk heh a tâco telah ati.
So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off,’ and they gave it to me. And when I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”
25 Hahoi tamipueng khenyawn laipalah a ngai patetlah kho a sak awh tie hah a hmu teh, bangkongtetpawiteh, a tarannaw hmunae koe Aron ni khenyawn awh hoeh.
Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them run wild and become a laughingstock to their enemies.
26 Mosi teh roenae rim longkha koe a kangdue teh, BAWIPA koelah kampang e pueng kai koe tho awh naseh, telah ati. Hattoteh Levih capanaw pueng teh ahni koe a cei awh.
So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
27 Ahnimouh koe, BAWIPA Cathut ni, tami pueng ni na tahloi lat awh nateh, roenae hmuen koe kâennae longkha koehoi tâconae longkha koe totouh, na hmaunawngha thoseh, na huiko thoseh, na imri thoseh thet awh atipouh.
He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and slay his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”
28 Hatdawkvah, Levih capanaw ni Mosi ni dei e patetlah a sak awh teh, hot hnin vah tami 3, 000 tabang a due awh.
The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people fell dead.
29 Hattoteh Mosi ni, sahnin yawhawinae na poe awh nahanelah, na mahmawk BAWIPA hanelah kâhmoun awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami pueng ni a capa hoi a hmaunawngha hah a taran toe, telah ati.
Afterward, Moses said, “Today you have been ordained for service to the LORD, since each man went against his son and his brother; so the LORD has bestowed a blessing on you this day.”
30 Hahoi, a tangtho vah Mosi ni tamimaya koevah, yonnae kalen na sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA koe ka ceitakhang han. Na yonnae yontha thai han vaimoe, telah ati.
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 Hottelah Mosi teh BAWIPA koe a ban teh, Oe hetnaw ni yonnae kalen a sak awh teh, sui cathut hah a sak awh.
So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves.
32 Hatei nakunghai, a yonnae hah ngaithoum pouh haw. Hatei, na ngaithoum hoehpawiteh na cauk dawk na thut e ka min hah raphoe hanelah ka kâhei atipouh.
Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”
33 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, kai taranlahoi yonnae ka sak e pueng teh, ka cauk dawk hoi a min ka raphoe han.
The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.
34 Hatdawkvah cet nateh, ka dei e hmuen koe tamimaya hah cetkhaih. Khenhaw! kaie kalvantaminaw na hmalah a cei han. Hatei, rek hanelah ka hloe awh nah hnin vah, a yonnae dawk roeroe ka rek awh han telah ati.
Now go, lead the people to the place I described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Hottelah Aron ni a sak e patetlah maitoca meikaphawk a sak awh dawkvah, BAWIPA ni tamimaya teh a rek.
And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
