Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make gods for us, which shall go before us. For as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him.
Ketika orang-orang melihat bahwa Musa lama sekali tidak turun dari gunung, mereka bersama-sama datang kepada Harun dan berkata, “Kita tidak tahu apa yang terjadi dengan si Musa itu, yang sudah menghasut kita keluar dari Mesir! Karena itu ayolah, buatkan patung dewa bagi kami untuk memimpin kita!”
2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.
Jawab Harun “Ambillah anting-anting emas dari istri-istrimu dan anak-anakmu, lalu bawalah kepadaku.”
3 And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
Maka semua orang melepaskan anting-anting emas mereka dan membawanya kepada Harun.
4 And he received it 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, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Kemudian Harun mengambil barang-barang emas itu dan dia melebur, membentuk, serta memahatnya menjadi patung berbentuk anak sapi. Melihat patung itu, umat pun saling berkata, “Hai umat Israel, inilah dewa kita yang sudah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir!”
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to Jehovah.
Ketika Harun melihat bahwa umat merasa senang, dia mendirikan mezbah di depan patung anak sapi itu dan berkata kepada mereka, “Besok kita akan mengadakan perayaan bagi TUHAN!”
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to revel.
Keesokan harinya mereka bangun pagi-pagi untuk mempersembahkan kurban yang dibakar habis dan kurban tanda damai kepada patung itu. Lalu mereka makan dan minum serta berpesta pora.
7 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, Go, get thee down. For thy people, that thou brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
Berkatalah TUHAN kepada Musa, “Segeralah turun! Umat yang kamu bawa keluar dari Mesir sudah menajiskan diri!
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made for them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Mereka cepat sekali menyimpang dari jalan yang Aku perintahkan. Mereka sudah membuat patung berhala berbentuk anak sapi, lalu bersujud kepadanya dan mempersembahkan kurban baginya. Mereka berkata, ‘Hai umat Israel, inilah dewa yang sudah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir!’”
9 And Jehovah said to Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Kata TUHAN lagi, “Aku sudah melihat betapa keras kepalanya umat ini.
10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may grow hot against them, and that I may consume them. And I will make of thee a great nation.
Sekarang, biarlah Aku melepaskan murka-Ku terhadap mereka dan menghanguskan mereka! Kemudian Aku akan membuat kamu menjadi suatu bangsa yang besar!”
11 And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, why does thy wrath grow hot against thy people, whom thou have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Tetapi Musa memohon kepada TUHAN Allahnya, “Janganlah Engkau menghanguskan mereka dengan murka-Mu! Ingatlah bahwa mereka itu umat-Mu, yang Engkau bawa keluar dari Mesir dengan kuasa dan kekuatan-Mu.
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them forth for evil, to kill them on the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and relent of this evil against thy people.
Jangan sampai orang Mesir berkata, ‘TUHAN membawa umat Israel keluar dari Mesir dengan maksud jahat, supaya Dia membunuh mereka di pegunungan dan membinasakan mereka dari muka bumi.’ Ya TUHAN, mohon redakanlah murka-Mu, batalkan niat-Mu, dan jangan binasakan umat-Mu!
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swore by thine own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven. And all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.
Ingatlah kepada hamba-hamba-Mu, Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub. Engkau sudah bersumpah demi diri-Mu sendiri dan berkata kepada mereka, ‘Aku akan membuat keturunanmu sebanyak bintang-bintang di langit. Aku akan memberikan semua tanah ini yang sudah Aku janjikan kepada keturunanmu dan mereka akan memiliki tanah itu selamanya.’”
14 And Jehovah relented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.
Maka TUHAN membatalkan niat untuk membinasakan umat-Nya.
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, 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 were they written.
Kemudian Musa berbalik dan turun dari gunung sambil memegang dua lempengan batu yang bertuliskan perintah-perintah Allah pada sisi depan dan belakangnya. Perintah-perintah itu adalah kewajiban utama bagi umat Israel dalam perjanjian mereka dengan Allah.
16 And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tablets.
Kedua lempengan batu itu adalah karya Allah. Dia sendirilah yang menuliskan perintah-perintah pada kedua lempengan tersebut.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
Yosua mendengar suara keramaian umat di bawah dan dia berkata kepada Musa, “Sepertinya ada peperangan di perkemahan!”
18 And he said, It is not the voice of those who shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome, but the noise of those who sing do I hear.
Jawab Musa, “Bukan! Itu bukan suara sorak kemenangan ataupun tangisan kekalahan. Aku mendengar suara nyanyian.”
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. And Moses' anger grew hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
Ketika Musa sudah dekat dengan perkemahan itu, dia pun melihat patung anak sapi emas dan orang-orang sedang menari-nari. Maka sangat marahlah Musa. Dia melemparkan kedua lempengan batu di tangannya ke tanah di kaki gunung itu sehingga hancur.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the sons of Israel drink of it.
Musa mengambil patung anak sapi emas yang mereka buat, dan bersama beberapa orang lain dia meleburnya ke dalam api, menumbuknya sampai halus seperti debu, dan menaburkannya ke atas air. Kemudian Musa menyuruh umat Israel meminum air itu.
21 And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to thee, that thou have brought a great sin upon them?
Setelah itu, Musa memarahi Harun, katanya, “Apa yang sudah dilakukan umat ini kepadamu sehingga kamu memimpin mereka melakukan dosa yang sangat besar?!”
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord grow hot. Thou know the people, that they are set on evil.
Harun berkata, “Janganlah marah, Tuanku. Tuan sendiri tahu betapa jahatnya bangsa ini.
23 For they said to me, Make gods for us, which 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 has become of him.
Mereka berkata kepadaku, ‘Buatkanlah bagi kami patung dewa untuk memimpin kita. Kita tidak tahu apa yang terjadi kepada Musa itu, orang yang sudah menghasut kita keluar dari Mesir.’
24 And I said to them, Whoever has any 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.
Maka saya berkata kepada mereka, ‘Lepaskanlah anting-anting emas kalian dan bawalah ke sini.’ Lalu mereka memberikannya kepadaku. Sesudah itu, aku melemparkan emas itu ke dalam api, dan jadilah patung ini!”
25 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies, )
Musa melihat bahwa umat Israel sudah hilang kendali dan Harun tidak berusaha mengendalikan mereka sehingga mereka dapat ditertawakan oleh musuh.
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on Jehovah's side, come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
Maka dia berdiri di depan pintu masuk perkemahan dan berkata, “Setiap orang yang berpihak kepada TUHAN, kemari dan bergabunglah dengan saya!” Lalu datanglah semua orang Lewi mengelilinginya.
27 And he said to them, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
Musa berkata kepada mereka, “TUHAN Allah Israel berkata, ‘Ambillah pedangmu masing-masing dan berjalanlah dari ujung perkemahan ke ujung yang lain. Bunuhlah saudaramu, temanmu, dan tetanggamu yang sudah terlibat dalam penyembahan berhala ini!’”
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Orang-orang Lewi melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan Musa, dan hari itu juga sekitar tiga ribu orang mati terbunuh.
29 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to Jehovah, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Musa berkata, “Hari ini kamu masing-masing sudah mengkhususkan diri untuk melayani TUHAN dengan menaati perintah-Nya, meskipun kamu harus membunuh anak-anakmu dan saudara-saudaramu sendiri. Oleh karena tindakanmu itu, TUHAN akan memberkatimu.”
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Jehovah, perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.
Keesokan harinya Musa berkata kepada bangsa Israel, “Kalian sudah melakukan dosa besar! Tetapi saya akan naik untuk menghadap TUHAN dan meminta pendamaian atas dosamu.”
31 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made gods of gold for them.
Lalu kembalilah Musa menghadap TUHAN dan berkata, “Bangsa ini sudah berbuat dosa besar. Mereka membuat patung dewa emas untuk disembah.
32 Yet now, if thou will forgive their sin-, and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou have written.
Tetapi aku mohon ampunilah dosa mereka. Jika tidak, maka biarlah namaku juga dihapuskan dari kitab yang berisi daftar nama-nama umat-Mu.”
33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Tidak! Yang Aku hapuskan dari kitab itu hanyalah orang yang berdosa terhadap-Ku.
34 And now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to thee. Behold, my agent shall go before thee. Nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.
Sekarang pergilah, pimpinlah mereka ke tempat yang sudah Aku beritahukan kepadamu. Malaikat yang sudah Aku utus akan berjalan di depanmu. Namun, akan tiba saatnya Aku menghukum mereka atas dosa mereka!”
35 And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Kemudian TUHAN mendatangkan wabah penyakit pada bangsa Israel karena mereka sudah mendesak Harun untuk membuat patung tadi.
