Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people collected together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, — we do not know what is become of him!
Anthu ataona kuti Mose akuchedwa kutsika mʼphiri, anasonkhana kwa Aaroni ndipo anati, “Bwera utipangire milungu imene idzititsogolera. Kunena za Mose amene anatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, sitikudziwa chimene chamuchitikira.”
2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings that are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring [them] to me.
Aaroni anawayankha kuti, “Vulani ndolo zagolide zimene avala akazi anu, ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo muzibweretse kwa ine.”
3 Then all the people broke off the golden rings that were in their ears, and brought [them] to Aaron.
Kotero anthu onse anavula ndolo zagolide ndi kubwera nazo kwa Aaroni.
4 And he took [them] out of their hand, and fashioned it with a chisel and made of it a molten calf: and they said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!
Choncho Aaroni analandira golideyo ndipo anamuwumba ndi chikombole ndi kupanga fano la mwana wangʼombe. Kenaka anthu aja anati, “Inu Aisraeli, nayu mulungu wanu amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.”
5 And Aaron saw [it], and built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, To-morrow is a feast to Jehovah!
Aaroni ataona izi, anamanga guwa lansembe patsogolo pa mwana wangʼombeyo ndipo analengeza kuti, “Mawa kudzakhala chikondwerero cha Yehova.”
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered up burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport.
Kotero tsiku linalo anthu anadzuka mmamawa ndithu ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano. Atatha kupereka nsembezo, anthuwo anakhala pansi nayamba kudya ndi kumwa. Kenaka anayimirira nayamba kuvina mwachilendo.
7 Then Jehovah said to Moses, Away, go down! for thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, is acting corruptly.
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tsika msanga, chifukwa anthu ako amene unawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto aja adziyipitsa kwambiri.
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them: they have made themselves a molten calf, and have bowed down to it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!
Iwo apatuka mwamsanga kuleka kutsatira zimene ndinawalamula. Ndiye adzipangira fano la mwana wangʼombe. Aligwadira ndi kuliperekera nsembe nʼkumati, ‘Inu Aisraeli, nayu mulungu wanu amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.’”
9 And Jehovah said to Moses, I see this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ine ndikuwadziwa anthu amenewa. Iwowa ndi ankhutukumve.
10 And now let me alone, that my anger may burn against them, and I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.
Chifukwa chake undileke kuti mkwiyo wanga uyake pa iwo ndi kuwawononga. Ndipo Ine ndidzakusandutsa kuti ukhale mtundu waukulu.”
11 And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Why, Jehovah, doth thy wrath burn against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
Koma Mose anapempha chifundo cha Mulungu wake ndipo anati, “Chonde Yehova, chifukwa chiyani mwakwiyira anthu awa amene munawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndi mphamvu yanu yayikulu ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu.
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For misfortune he has brought them out, to slay them on the mountains, and to annihilate them from the face of the earth? Turn from the heat of thine anger, and repent of this evil against thy people!
Kodi mukufuna kuti Aigupto azinena kuti, ‘Munali ndi cholinga choyipa chofuna kuwaphera ku mapiri kuno ndi kuwawonongeratu pa dziko lapansi pamene munkawatulutsa ku Igupto kuja?’ Ayi, chonde mkwiyo wanu woyaka ngati motowu ubwezeni ndipo sinthani maganizo ofunira zoyipa anthu anu.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thyself, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall possess [it] for ever!
Kumbukirani atumiki anu, Abrahamu, Isake, Israeli ndi zija munawalonjeza polumbira pa dzina lanu kuti, ‘Ine ndidzachulukitsa zidzukulu zanu ndipo zidzakhala zambiri ngati nyenyezi zakumwamba. Zidzukulu zanuzo ndidzazipatsa dziko lonseli limene ndinalonjeza. Dziko limeneli lidzakhala lawo nthawi zonse.’”
14 And Jehovah repented of the evil that he had said he would do to his people.
Choncho Yehova analeka ndipo sanawachitire choyipa anthu ake monga anaopsezera.
15 And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, [with] the two tables of the testimony in his hand — tables written on both their sides: on this side and on that were they written.
Mose anatembenuka ndi kutsika phiri miyala iwiri ya pangano ili mʼmanja mwake. Miyalayi inalembedwa mbali zonse, kutsogolo ndi kumbuyo komwe.
16 And the tables [were] God's work, and the writing was God's writing, engraven on the tables.
Miyalayi anayikonza ndi Mulungu. Malembawo analemba ndi Mulungu mozokota pa miyalapo.
17 And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, and said to Moses, There is a shout of war in the camp.
Pamene Yoswa anamva phokoso la anthu anati kwa Mose, “Ku msasa kuli phokoso la nkhondo.”
18 And he said, It is not the sound of a shout of victory, neither is it the sound of a shout of defeat: it is the noise of alternate singing I hear.
Mose anayankha kuti, “Phokoso limeneli sindikulimva ngati phokoso la opambana nkhondo, kapena kulira kwa ongonjetsedwa pa nkhondo. Koma ndikulimva ngati phokoso la anthu amene akuyimba.”
19 And it came to pass, when he came near the camp, and saw the calf and the dancing, that Moses' anger burned, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and shattered them beneath the mountain.
Mose atayandikira msasa ndi kuona mwana wangʼombe ndiponso kuvina, anakwiya kwambiri ndipo anaponya pansi miyala imene inali mʼmanja mwake, ndi kuyiphwanya pa tsinde la phiri.
20 And he took the calf that they had made, and burned [it] with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed [it] on the water, and made the children of Israel drink [it].
Ndipo iye anatenga mwana wangʼombe amene anthu anapanga uja ndi kumuwotcha pa moto ndi kumuperapera ndikukhala ngati fumbi. Kenaka anawaza fumbilo mʼmadzi ndi kuwamwetsa Aisraeli madziwo.
21 And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin on them?
Tsono Mose anafunsa Aaroni kuti, “Kodi anthu awa anakuchita chiyani kuti uwachimwitse koopsa chotere?”
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord burn! thou knowest the people, that they are [set] on mischief.
Aaroni anayankha kuti, “Musakwiye mbuye wanga. Inu mukudziwa kuti anthu awa ndi ovuta.
23 And they said to me, Make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him!
Iwo anati kwa ine, ‘Bwera utipangire milungu imene idzititsogolera. Kunena za Mose amene anatitulutsa ife mʼdziko la Igupto, sitikudziwa chimene chamuchitikira.’
24 And I said to them, Who has gold? They broke [it] off, and gave [it] me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Choncho ine ndinawawuza kuti, ‘Aliyense amene ali ndi zokometsera zagolide azivule.’ Choncho iwo anandipatsa golide, ndipo ndinamuponya pa moto ndi kupanga fano la mwana wangʼombeyu.”
25 And Moses saw the people how they were stripped; for Aaron had stripped them to [their] shame before their adversaries.
Mose anaona kuti anthuwo anali osokonezekadi chifukwa Aaroni anawalekerera mpaka kusanduka anthu osekedwa pakati pa adani awo.
26 And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, He that is for Jehovah, [let him come] to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered to him.
Choncho iye anayima pa chipata cholowera mu msasa ndipo anati, “Aliyense amene ali mbali ya Yehova abwere kwa ine.” Ndipo Alevi onse anapita mbali yake.
27 And he said to them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his hip; go and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbour.
Ndipo iye anawawuza kuti, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akunena, ‘Pitani ku misasa konse, mulowe ku zipata zonse ndipo aliyense akaphe mʼbale wake, kapena mnzake kapena mnansi wake.’”
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.
Alevi anachita zomwe Mose analamula, ndipo tsiku limenelo panafa anthu pafupifupi 3,000.
29 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to Jehovah, yea, every man with his son, and with his brother, and bring on yourselves a blessing to-day.
Kenaka Mose anati, “Lero mwadzipatula nokha kukhala ansembe otumikira Yehova. Mwachita izi popeza aliyense wa inu wapha mwana wake kapena mʼbale wake. Tsono lero Yehova wakudalitsani.”
30 And it came to pass the next day, 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.
Mmawa mwake Mose anati kwa anthu onse, “Inu mwachita tchimo lalikulu. Koma tsopano ine ndipita ku phiri kwa Yehova mwina ndikatha kukupepeserani chifukwa cha tchimo lanu.”
31 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Alas, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves a god of gold!
Kotero Mose anabwereranso kwa Yehova ndipo anati, “Aa! Anthu awa achita tchimo lalikulu! Iwo adzipangira milungu yagolide.
32 And now, if thou wilt forgive their sin...but if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book that thou hast written.
Koma tsopano, chonde akhululukireni tchimo lawo. Ngati simutero, ndiye mundifute ine mʼbuku limene mwalemba.”
33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Yehova anamuyankha Mose kuti, “Ndidzafuta mʼbuku aliyense amene wandichimwira.
34 And now go, lead the people whither I have told thee: behold, my Angel shall go before thee; but in the day of my visiting I will visit their sin upon them.
Tsopano pita ukawatsogolere anthu kumalo kumene ine ndinanena, ndipo mngelo wanga adzakutsogolerani. Komabe, nthawi yanga ikadzafika kuti ndiwalange, ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha tchimo lawo.”
35 And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron had made.
Ndipo Yehova anawakantha anthuwo ndi mliri chifukwa anawumiriza Aaroni kuti awapangire fano la mwana wangʼombe.
