Exodus 32
1 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.
Lè pèp la wè Moyiz te rete lontan sou mòn lan san li pa desann, yo sanble bò kote Arawon, yo di l' konsa: -Ann debouye nou fè lòt bondye ki pou mache devan nou, paske nonm yo rele Moyiz la ki te fè nou moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, nou pa konn sa ki rive l'.
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.
Arawon di yo: -Wete tout zanno lò ki nan zòrèy madanm nou yo ak nan zòrèy pitit fi ak pitit gason nou yo, pote yo ban mwen.
3 And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.
Konsa, tout pèp la wete zanno lò yo te gen nan zòrèy yo, yo pote yo bay Arawon.
4 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.
Arawon pran zanno yo, li fonn yo, li koule lò a nan yon moul, li fè estati yon ti towo bèf. Pèp la di: -Pèp Izrayèl, men bondye nou an. Se li ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
5 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.
Lè Arawon wè sa, li bati yon lòtèl devan estati ti towo bèf la, epi li di yo: -Denmen m'ap fè yon gwo fèt pou Seyè a.
6 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.
Nan denmen maten yo leve byen bonè, yo touye bèt, yo boule yo nèt ofri bay Seyè a. Yo touye lòt bèt tou pou di l' mèsi. Apre sa, pèp la chita, yo manje, yo bwè. Lèfini, yo leve pou yo pran plezi yo.
7 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.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ale non, ou mèt desann. Paske pèp ou a, pèp ou te fè moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, gen tan deraye, yo lage tèt yo nan bwa.
8 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.
Yo gen tan kite chemen mwen te mande yo swiv la. Yo pran lò, yo fonn li, yo fè estati yon ti towo bèf, yo tonbe fè sèvis pou li, yo touye bèt ofri ba li, epi yo di: Pèp Izrayèl, men bondye nou an. Se li ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
9 And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:
Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Mwen wè pèp sa a se yon pèp ki gen tèt di.
10 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.
Bon, koulye a kite m' al regle ak yo. Mwen pral fè yo konnen lè m' an kòlè, m'ap detwi yo, m'ap boule yo. Men, ou menm, m'ap fè ou vin yon gwo nasyon.
11 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?
Moyiz kriye nan pye Seyè a, Bondye l' a, li di l': -Seyè, poukisa pou ou ta koute kòlè ou pou ou fache sou pèp ki pou ou a, pèp ou menm menm te fè moute soti kite Lejip avèk gwo pouvwa ou, avèk fòs ponyèt ou?
12 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.
Atò, sa pou moun peyi Lejip yo di? y'a di: Ala Bondye malveyan! Li fè yo soti kite Lejip pou l' te ka touye yo nan mòn yo, pou l' te ka disparèt yo sou latè. Seyè, pa koute kòlè ou! Chanje lide. Pa fè malè sèk sa a tonbe sou pèp ou a.
13 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.
Chonje sèvitè ou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Izrayèl. Chonje pwomès ou te fè yo. Ou te fè sèman sou tèt ou, ou te di yo: M'ap ban nou pitit pitit an kantite, y'ap tankou zetwal nan syèl la. M'ap bay pitit pitit nou yo tout peyi mwen te di m'ap ban nou an, pou peyi a rele yo chèmèt pou tout tan.
14 And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
Lè sa a, Seyè a chanje lide, li pa voye malè sèk li te fè lide voye sou pèp la ankò.
15 And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
Moyiz pran chemen pou l' tounen. Li desann soti nan mòn lan avèk de ròch plat kontra a nan men l'. Ròch yo te ekri sou tout kò yo, devan kou dèyè.
16 And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.
Se Bondye menm ki te travay ròch plat sa yo. Se li menm tou ki te ekri sou yo ak pròp men li. Se li ki te grave tout lèt ki ekri sou ròch yo.
17 And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
Jozye te tande pèp la ki t'ap rele byen fò anba a. Li di Moyiz: -Pou tout bri mwen tande a, gen gwo goumen nan kan an!
18 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.
Men Moyiz reponn li: -Non! Non! Kalite chante sa a, se pa chante moun ki genyen yon batay ni chante moun ki pèdi batay. Se de gwoup moun k'ap chante: yonn ap reponn lòt.
19 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:
Lè Moyiz rive toupre kan an, li wè estati ti towo bèf la ak moun yo ki t'ap danse. Moyiz fè yon sèl kòlè, li voye ròch plat ki te nan men l' yo jete. Yo tonbe, y al kraze an miyèt moso anba pye mòn lan.
20 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.
Li pran estati ti towo bèf yo te fè a, li boule l', li kraze l', li fè l' tounen pousyè. Li simen pousyè a nan dlo. Lèfini, li fè moun Izrayèl yo bwè dlo a.
21 And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
Apre sa li di Arawon: -Kisa moun sa yo fè ou menm pou ou kite yo fè kalite gwo peche sa a?
22 And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
Arawon reponn li: -Mèt, tanpri, pa fache sou mwen! Ou menm, ou konnen jan pèp sa a toujou pare pou fè sa ki mal.
23 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.
Se yo menm ki di m' fè bondye pou yo, bondye ki pou mache devan yo, paske yo pa konnen sa ki rive Moyiz, nonm sa a ki te fè yo soti kite Lejip la.
24 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.
Lè sa a, mwen mande kilès nan mitan yo ki gen lò. Tout moun ki te gen lò sou yo ban mwen l'. Mwen lage lò a nan dife, epi estati ti towo bèf sa a parèt.
25 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, )
Moyiz wè pèp la te fin dechennen, paske Arawon te lage brid ba yo, yo te lage kò yo nan sèvi zidòl. Sa fè yo pa t' anyen ankò devan lènmi yo.
26 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:
Moyiz kanpe nan pòtay lakou kan an, li pale byen fò, li di: -Tout moun ki pou Seyè a, vin jwenn mwen. Se konsa tout pitit Levi yo vin jwenn li.
27 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.
Li di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, li menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la di: Se pou nou chak pran nepe nou, mache nan tout kan an, depi nan pòtay sa a rive jouk lòt bò a. Touye mezi moun ki tonbe anba men nou, kit se frè nou, kit se zanmi nou, osinon vwazinaj nou.
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
Pitit Levi yo fè sa Moyiz te ba yo lòd fè a. Jou sa a, te gen twamil moun konsa nan pèp la ki te pèdi lavi yo.
29 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.
Moyiz di pitit Levi yo: -Jòdi a, avèk san pitit gason nou yo ak san frè nou yo nou fè koule a, nou mete tèt nou apa nèt pou sèvis Seyè a. Se poutèt sa tou, Seyè a pa manke ban nou benediksyon l' jòdi a.
30 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.
Nan denmen, Moyiz rele pèp la, li di yo: -Nou te fè yon gwo peche. Men koulye a, mwen pral moute sou mòn lan bò kote Seyè a. m'a wè si m' ka jwenn padon pou peche nou an.
31 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,
Moyiz tounen bò kote Seyè a. Li di l': -Ou wè gwosè peche pèp la fè. Yo fè yon estati an lò pou sèvi yo bondye.
32 Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
Men, tanpri, padonnen peche yo. Si se pa sa, tanpri efase non m' nan liv ou a.
33 And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:
Seyè a reponn Moyiz, li di l': -Moun ki peche kont mwen an, se non l' pou m' efase nan liv mwen an.
34 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.
Koulye a, ou mèt ale. W'a mennen pèp la kote mwen te di ou mennen yo a. Chonje byen. Zanj mwen an ap mache devan ou. Men, lè jou a va rive pou m' vin fè regleman ak yo a, m'ap pini yo pou peche yo.
35 The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
Seyè a te voye yon maladi sou pèp la pou pini l', paske yo te fòse Arawon fè estati yon ti bèf pou yo.
