Exodus 32
1 Then the people, seeing that Moses made a delay in descending from the mountain, gathered together against Aaron, and said: “Rise up, make us gods, who may go before us. But as for this man Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.”
Alò, lè pèp la te wè ke Moïse te fè reta sòti nan mòn nan, pèp la te rasanble vè Aaron e yo te di li: “Vini, fè pou nou yon dye ki va ale devan nou; pwiske, Moïse sila a, nonm ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, nou pa konnen sa ki rive li.”
2 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.”
Aaron te di yo: “Chire retire zanno lò ki nan zòrèy a Madanm nou yo, fis nou yo, ak fi nou yo, e pote yo ban mwen.”
3 And the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings to Aaron.
Epi tout pèp la te chire zanno lò ki te nan zòrèy pa yo. Yo te pote yo bay Aaron.
4 And when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: “These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.”
Li te pran yo nan men yo; li te fè desen li avèk yon zouti pou grave, e li te fonn li pou fè yon jèn towo. Konsa yo te di: “Sa se dye pa ou, O Israël, ki te mennen ou sòti nan peyi Égypte la.”
5 And when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, “Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.”
Alò, lè Aaron te wè sa, li te bati yon lotèl devan li. Epi Aaron te fè yon pwoklamasyon e te di: “Demen va yon fèt pou SENYÈ a.”
6 And rising up in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.
Epi nan jou ki te vini an, yo te leve bonè. Yo te ofri ofrann brile a, e yo te pote ofrann lapè yo. Konsa, pèp la te chita pou manje, pou bwè, e yo te leve pou jwe.
7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go, descend. Your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, have sinned.
Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di: “Desann koulye a, paske pèp ou a, ke ou te mennen monte nan peyi Égypte la, gen tan vin konwonpi.
8 They have quickly withdrawn from the way which you revealed to them. And they have made for themselves a molten calf, and they have worshiped it. And immolating victims to it, they have said: ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.’”
Yo vire byen vit kite chemen ke Mwen te pase lòd ba yo a. Yo fè pou yo menm yon jèn towo fonn, yo adore li, yo fè sakrifis bay li, e yo di: ‘Sa se dye pa ou, O Israël, ki te mennen ou monte kite peyi Égypte la!’”
9 And again, the Lord said to Moses: “I discern that this people is stiff-necked.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Mwen wè pèp sa, e gade byen, se yon pèp tèt di.
10 Release me, so that my fury may be enraged against them, and I may destroy them, and then I will make of you a great nation.”
Koulye a alò, kite Mwen sèl, pou kòlè Mwen kapab briye kont yo, e pou M kapab detwi yo; epi Mwen va fè nan ou menm yon gran nasyon.”
11 Then Moses prayed to the Lord his God, saying: “Why, O Lord, is your fury enraged against your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with a mighty hand?
Men Moïse te priye SENYÈ a Bondye li a, e te di: “O SENYÈ poukisa kòlè ou briye kont pèp Ou a, ke Ou te fè sòti nan peyi Égypte la avèk gran pouvwa e avèk yon men pwisan an?
12 I beg you, let not the Egyptians say, ‘He cleverly led them away, so that he could put them to death in the mountains and destroy them from the earth.’ Let your anger be quieted and appeased concerning the wickedness of your people.
Poukisa Ejipsyen yo ta dwe pale pou di: ‘Avèk mechanste Li te fè yo sòti, pou touye yo nan mòn yo e pou detwi yo sou fas tè a?’” “Vire kite kòlè Ou k ap briye a, e vire kite ide Ou sou entansyon Ou, pou fè pèp Ou mal la.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your very self, saying: ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And this entire land, about which I have spoken, I will give to your offspring. And you shall possess it forever.’”
Sonje Abraham, Isaac, ak Israël, sèvitè ou yo, ke Ou te sèmante pa Ou menm, pou di yo: ‘Mwen va miltipliye desandan nou yo tankou zetwal nan syèl yo, e tout peyi ke M te pale yo, Mwen va bay a desandan nou yo, e yo va eritye li jis pou tout tan.’”
14 And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te chanje ide li sou mal ke Li te di Li t ap fè a pèp Li a.
15 And Moses returned from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
Alò, Moïse te vire desann mòn nan avèk de tablèt temwayaj yo nan Men l; tablèt ki te ekri nan toude fas yo.
16 and accomplished by the work of God. Also, the writing of God was engraved on the tablets.
Tablèt yo se te zèv Bondye yo te ye. Ekriti la se te ekriti Bondye menm ki grave sou tablèt yo.
17 Then Joshua, hearing the tumult of the people shouting, said to Moses: “The outcry of battle is heard in the camp.”
Alò, lè Josué te tande bwi a pèp la pandan yo t ap rele fò, li te di Moïse: “Gen son lagè nan kan an”.
18 But he responded: “It is not the clamor of men being exhorted to battle, nor the shout of men being compelled to flee. But I hear the voice of singing.”
Men li te di yo: “Se pa son a yon kri viktwa, ni se pa son ke y ap pèdi batay; men se son chante ke m tande.”
19 And when he had approached to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances. And being very angry, he threw down the tablets from his hand, and he broke them at the base of the mountain.
Li te vin rive ke depi Moïse te pwoche kan an, li te wè jèn towo a ak tout dans yo. Konsa, kòlè te briye nan Moïse. Li te jete tablèt ki te nan men li yo atè, e li te kraze yo nan baz mòn nan.
20 And seizing the calf, which they had made, he burnt it and crushed it, even to dust, which he scattered into water. And he gave from it to the sons of Israel to drink.
Li te pran jèn towo ke yo te fè a; li te brile li avèk dife. Li te kraze l fè poud, e li te gaye li sou tout sifas dlo a. Konsa, li te fè fis Israël yo bwè li.
21 And he said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, so that you would bring upon them the greatest sin?”
Moïse te di a Aaron: “Kisa pèp sa te fè ou la a, pou ou ta mennen yon si tèlman gwo peche sou yo?”
22 And he answered him: “Let not my lord be indignant. For you know this people, that they are prone to evil.
Aaron te di: “Pa kite kòlè a mèt mwen briye. Ou konnen pèp sa a ou menm, ke yo toujou panche vè lemal.
23 They said to me: ‘Make gods for us, who may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.’
Paske yo te di mwen: ‘Fè yon dye pou nou ki va ale devan nou. Paske Moïse sila a, mesye ki te mennen nou monte sòti nan peyi Égypte la, nou pa konnen sa ki rive li.’”
24 And I said to them, ‘Which of you has gold?’ And they took it and gave it to me. And I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
“Mwen te di yo: ‘Nenpòt moun ki gen nenpòt lò, ke yo chire retire li.’ Alò, yo te ban mwen li, mwen te jete li nan dife a, e ti towo sa a te parèt.”
25 Therefore, Moses, seeing that the people were naked (for Aaron had stripped them because of the disgrace of their sordidness, and he had set them naked among their enemies),
Alò, lè Moïse te wè ke pèp la te pèdi kontwòl nèt—paske Aaron te kite yo pèdi kontwòl pou yo te kapab devni yon rizib pami lènmi yo—
26 and standing at the gate of the camp, said: “If anyone is for the Lord, let him join with me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
Alò, Moïse te vin kanpe nan pòtay kan an, e li te di: “Nenpòt moun ki pou SENYÈ a vin kote mwen!” Epi tout fis Levi yo te rasanble kote li.
27 And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Let a man place his sword at his thigh. Go forth, and then return, from gate to gate, through the midst of the camp, and let each one kill his brother, and friend, and neighbor.”
Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, chak moun nan nou mete nepe nou sou kwis nou. Ale tout kote pòtay sou pòtay nan kan an, e chak touye frè nou, chak zanmi nou, chak vwazen nou.”
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there fell on that day about twenty-three thousand men.
Konsa, fis a Levi yo te fè sa ke Moïse te enstwi yo a, e anviwon twa-mil moun nan pèp la te tonbe nan jou sa a.
29 And Moses said: “On this day, you have consecrated your hands to the Lord, each one in his son and in his brother, so that a blessing may be given to you.”
Alò Moïse te di: “Konsakre nou nan menm jou sa a bay SENYÈ a—paske chak moun te kont fis li, e kont frè li—pou Li kapab beni nou jodi a.”
30 Then, when the next day arrived, Moses spoke to the people: “You have sinned the greatest sin. I will ascend to the Lord. Perhaps, in some way, I might be able to entreat him for your wickedness.”
Nan jou pwochen a, Moïse te di a pèp la: “Nou pou kont nou te komèt yon gwo peche. Koulye a mwen ap monte vè SENYÈ a. Petèt mwen kapab twouve padon pou peche nou yo.”
31 And returning to the Lord, he said: “I beg you, this people has sinned the greatest sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold. Either release them from this offense,
Alò, Moïse te retounen vè Bondye, e te di: “Elas, pèp sa a komèt yon gwo peche. Yo te gen tan fè yon dye an lò pou yo menm.
32 or, if you do not, then delete me from the book that you have written.”
Men koulye a, si Ou va padone, padone peche yo—e si non, souple efase mwen nan liv ke Ou te ekri a!”
33 And the Lord answered him: “Whoever has sinned against me, him I will delete from my book.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Nenpòt moun ki te peche kont Mwen, Mwen va efase li nan liv Mwen an.
34 But as for you, go and lead this people where I have told you. My angel will go before you. Then, on the day of retribution, I will also visit this sin of theirs.”
Men ale koulye a, mennen pèp la kote Mwen te di ou a. Veye byen, zanj Mwen va ale devan ou. Malgre sa, nan jou ke Mwen va pini an, Mwen va pini yo pou peche yo a.”
35 Therefore, the Lord struck the people for the guilt of the calf, which Aaron had made.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te frape pèp la akoz sa yo te fè avèk jèn towo ke Aaron te fè a.
