Wuok 32
1 Kane ji oneno ni Musa osedeko ewi got, negichokore ma gilworo Harun kendo giwachone niya, “Bi mondo ilosnwa nyiseche ma biro dhi nyimwa, nimar ok wangʼeyo gima osetimore ne Musa mane ogolowa ka waa e piny Misri.”
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 Harun nodwokogi niya, “Kawuru sitadi mag dhahabu ma yawuotu kod nyiu orwako mondo ukelna.”
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 Kuom mano, ji duto nokawo sitadigi mi gikelogi ne Harun.
And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.
4 Nokawo gik mane omiyego monywaso kendo olosogo kido machalo gi mar nyaroya. Eka nowachonegi niya, “Magi e nyisecheu mane ogolou e piny Misri, yaye Israel.”
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 Kane Harun oneno kamano, nogero kendo mar misango e nyim nyaroyano kendo nolando niya, “Kiny notim sawo ne Jehova Nyasaye”
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 Kuom mano, ji nochiewo kinyne kogwen mochiwo misango miwangʼo pep kendo negichiwo misango mag lalruok. Bangʼe negibedo piny mondo gichiem kendo gimethi kendo negia malo mondo gimiel miende dwanyruok.
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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Lor piny idog ir jogi mane igolo kawuok e piny Misri nikech gisekethore”
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 Giselokore mapiyo nono ka giweyo chike mane amiyogi kendo giseloso nyasaye maket gi nyaroya. Gisekulorene piny kendo gisechiwone misango mi giwacho niya, “Magi e nyisecheu mane ogolou e piny Misri, yaye Israel.”
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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Aseneno jogi kendo gin joma tokgi tek.
And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:
10 Kuom mano, koro weya mondo mirimba mager otiekgi. Bangʼe to anaketi ibed oganda maduongʼ.”
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 To Musa nokwayo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasache kowachone niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, en angʼo momiyo mirimbi mager ditiek jogi mane igolo gi teko maduongʼ kod lweti maratego kawuok e piny Misri?
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 Angʼo momiyo dimi jo-Misri wuo gi ngʼayi kawacho ni, ‘Nogologi gi chuny marach mondo otiekgi ewi gode kendo mondo otiekgi e wangʼ piny?’ Kuom mano, we mirimbi mager, mondo ilok chunyi kik ikel kethruok ni jogi.
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 Par jotichni Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo mane ikwongʼorini in iwuon kiwacho ni, ‘Abiro keto nyikwayi mondo obed mangʼeny kaka sulwe mar kor polo bende abiro miyo nyikwayi pinyni duto mane asingonegi ni nobed mwandugi nyaka chiengʼ.’”
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 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye noloko pache mine ok okelone joge masira mane osewacho.
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
15 Musa nolor koa e got kotingʼo kite ariyo mag Rapar e lwete kendo kitego nondik koni gi koni.
And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
16 Kitego ne gin tich Nyasaye; kendo ndiko mane ni kuomgi ne mar Nyasaye.
And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.
17 Kane Joshua owinjo koko mane ji goyo nowacho ne Musa niya, “Mahu mar lweny wuok e kambi.”
And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
18 To Musa nodwoke niya, “Ok en mahu mar loch kata ywak mar joma olo e lweny; to en mana koko mar wer ema awinjo.”
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 Kane Musa ochopo machiegni gi kambi koa e tiend got noneno ji kamiel e nyim nyaroya, kendo iye nowangʼ mi nodiro kite mopa mane ni e lwete piny ma gitore matindo tindo.
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 Bangʼe nokawo nyaroya mane giseloso mi owangʼe e mach kendo norege mayom kaka mogo mi noruwe gi pi momiyo jo-Israel mondo omodhi.
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 Nopenjo Harun niya, “Angʼo mane jogi otimoni momiyo irwakogi e richo maduongʼ kamano?”
And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
22 Harun nodwoke niya, “Kik ibed gi ich wangʼ ruodha nimar ingʼeyo kaka chuny jogi osiko kopongʼ gi richo.
And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
23 Ne giwachona kama, ‘Losnwa nyiseche mabiro telonwa, nimar ok wangʼeyo gima otimo ngʼat ma Musa-ni mane ogolowa e piny Misri.’
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 Kuom mano nawachonegi ni, ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato man-gi bangli mag dhahabu okaw mondo okel.’ Eka negimiya dhahabu kendo nakete e mach mi aloso nyaroyani!”
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 Musa noneno ka ji osenjawni kendo kaka Harun noketogi mi gibedo joma wigi tek ma ijaro gi wasikgi.
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 Kuom mano nochungʼ e dhoranga kambi mowacho niya, “Ngʼato angʼata man kor Jehova Nyasaye obi ira.” Kendo jo-Lawi duto nochungʼ e ngʼeye.
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 Eka nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel wacho: ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato okaw liganglane. Wuothuru ei kambi duto koni gi koni ka ngʼato ka ngʼato nego owadgi, osiepne kod ngʼat modak bute.’”
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 Jo-Lawi notimo kaka Musa nochikogi kendo chiengʼno ji madirom alufu adek nonegi.
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 Eka Musa nowacho niya, “Un osewalu ni Jehova Nyasaye kawuono nimar ne ulokoru gi oweteu gi yawuotu kendo Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhou kawuono.”
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 Kinyne Musa nowacho ni ji niya, “Usetimo richo maduongʼ to koro abiro dhi ir Jehova Nyasaye nimar dipoka akwayonu Jehova Nyasaye mondo owenu richou.”
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 Kuom mano Musa nodok ir Jehova Nyasaye mowacho niya, “Yaye, mano kaka jogi osetimo richo malich, ma giseloso nyisechegi mag dhahabu.
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 To koro kiyie, to wenegi richogi, to ka ok kamano, to ruch nyinga oko e kitabu misendikono.”
Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
33 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko Musa niya, “Ngʼato angʼata motimo richo e nyima ema anaruch nyinge oko e kitabu mara.
And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:
34 To koro, dhiyo mondo itelne ji kiterogi kama ne awacho kendo malaikana biro telo nyimu. To kata kamano, ka kindena mar kum ochopo to anakumgi nikech richogi.”
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 Kuom mano, Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo jogo gi tuoche kuom lamo nyaroya mane Harun oloso.
The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
