< Exodus 32 >

1 When the people realized how long Moses was taking before he came back down the mountain, they went together to see Aaron. They told him, “Get up! Make some gods for us who can lead us because this man Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt—we don't know what's happened to him!”
Mose chu Sinai Molsang akon in ahung kumlha vah tapon ahile, Israel mipi abonchauvin Aaron henga ahung uvin ajah a asei tauvin ahi; Nagman keiho eilam kai diuvin milim Pathen in neisem peh uvin, Mose Egypt gam'a kon'a eihin puidoh pa'u ageina lam ka hepha tapouvin, ama chungchang thua ima ka hepouve tin aseiyuve.
2 “Bring to me the gold earrings that your wives, sons, and daughters are wearing,” Aaron replied.
Aaron in jong aheng uva aseiyin, Na ji na chate'u bilba jouse sutlha uvin lang ka heng a na hin lhut soh kei diu ahi, ati.
3 So everyone took off the gold earrings they were wearing and brought them to Aaron.
Chuin mipin jong abilba chengse'u a sutlha uvin Aaron henga ahin choi soh kei uve.
4 He took what they gave him and using a molding tool cast an idol in the shape of a bull calf. They shouted out, “Israel, these are the gods that brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
Aaron in jong sana hochu alan, sana khen na manchah khat a kheng in, hichu bongnou khat limin akheng doh tai. Chuin mipin jong “Vo! Israel, Egypt gam'a konna na hin puidoh uva Pathen chu hiche hi ahi, atiuve”.
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the golden calf and shouted out, “Tomorrow will be a festival to honor the Lord!”
Aaron in jong bongnou kilhajol chu aven, hiche lim kisemna maiya chun maicham asem in, Aaron in hitin aseiye; Jing nikho teng le Pakaiya di kut khat um ding ahi, ati.
6 Early the next day they sacrificed burnt offerings and presented peace offerings. Then they sat down to celebrate with eating and drinking. Then they got up to dance, and it became like an orgy.
Mipi jong chu jingkah matah in atou taovin Pakaiya din pumgo thilto maicham ahin choiyun, mipin jong neh le don ding twi jong atoh doh un, hiti chun ama ama malam cheh a nopsanan aumpai kit tauve.
7 Then the Lord told Moses, “Get back down, because your people that you brought out of Egypt are acting immorally.
Pakaiyin Mose henga thu a seikit in, ajah a, Chen lang na mite lam jon suh tan, ajeh chu nangman Egypt gamsunga konna nahin puidoh namite khu ama ama lam cheh a chon nun mangthah ding ahitaove, ati.
8 They have been so quick to abandon the way I ordered them to follow. They have made a metal bull calf idol for themselves, bowing before it in worship and offering sacrifices to it. They're saying, ‘These are the gods that brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
Keiman jui ding a ka peh jousea konin amaho achemang gam taovin, ama cham un bongnou lim asemun, chibai aboh un kithoi nan amang uvin hiti hin asei uve, “Vo israel mipite Egypt gam'a konna nahin puiod uva pathen chu hiche ho ahi, tin asam uve, ati.”
9 “I know what these people are like,” the Lord continued saying to Moses. “They are so rebellious!
Pakaiyin Mose henga aseijin, “Amaho chung chang thua keima kaki kum ding ahiye, ahi na'u abonchan kahesoh keijin milouchal te ahiuve, ati.
10 Now leave me! I am angry with them—let me finish them off! I will make you into a great nation.”
Keima kaki kum ding, achung'uva kalung souna ka buhlhah ding abonchauva kabah gam hel ding ahiuve, amavang keiman in nangma hi nam lentah a katun ding nahi, ati.
11 But Moses pleaded with the Lord his God, saying, “Why are you angry with the people you brought out of the land of Egypt with tremendous power and great strength?
Mose jong Pakai henga atao jing tan hitin aseije, “Ka Pakai na lungsatna Egypt gamma konna na hin puidoh namite chunga nalhun sah kigot jeng hi tam, ati.
12 Why should the Egyptians be able to say, ‘He brought them out with the evil purpose of killing them in the mountains, wiping them off the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger. Please change your mind over the threat against your people.
Egypt miten hiti hin sei unte, Pakaiyin amaho hi thagam dinga ahin puidoh a, Pakaiyin amaho hi molsang chunga pat a ahin pui doh uva tha gam hel ding ati ahi tin gel unte, tia a seina thei diuva nabol ki got hi tam? Na lunghan na akon in lungset tah in na lung heijin lang hiche mite chunga hin suhgamna lhun sah hih beh jeng in tin a tauve.
13 Remember you swore a promise your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, telling them, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven, and give you all the land I promised to them, and they shall own it forever.’”
Nalhacha masa Abraham, Isaac chule Israel chu avel in geldoh kit temin, aheng uvah kihahselna nana neiyin hitin naseiye, “Na son na chilhah teo kapunsah ding van'a ahsi jat kaphah sah diu chule keiman katepsa hiche gampumpi hi nanghon naluo soh hel ding u ahi, hichu nanghon atonsot tonsot geija ding ahi tia nasei chu avel in geldoh kit temin, ati.
14 The Lord changed his mind over the disaster he threatened to cause his people.
Chuin Pakaiyin amite chung a abol ding thil chu bol talouvin alung ahai tan ahi.
15 Moses turned and went down the mountain, carrying the two stone tablets of the Law written on both sides.
Mose jong molsang apat chun ahung kumsuh tan ahile, hettoh sahna songpheng teni a mailamma Pathen khut jih ki jih teni chu ahin choiyin ahi. Hiche song pehng teni chu anung lam ahin chu le amalam a jong anigel a lekha jem kisun ahi.
16 God had made the tablets, and God had engraved the writing himself.
Hiche songpheng teni chu Pathen in asem ahin, Lekha jem kisung jeng jong chu Pathen lekha sut ma ahi. Hichu asong peng teni chunga chu a kijih sa ahiye.
17 When Joshua heard all the shouting from the camp, he said to Moses, “It sounds like fighting in the camp!”
Chuin mipi awgin chu akithong jeng tan ahile Joshua injong Mose henga asei tai, “Ngahmun sunglama khu galkisat a hitam awgin khu ngaitiem in atin ahi”,
18 But Moses replied, “These are not the shouts of victory or of defeat. What I'm hearing is people partying!”
Mose'n jong a don but in aseije, “galjona awgin jong ahideh poi chule gal lal na jeh a awgin jong ahipoi, keiman ka jah dan in lakisa awgin joh ahiye, ati.
19 As he approached the camp he saw the bull calf idol and the dancing. He got so angry that he threw down the stone tablets and smashed them there at the foot of the mountain.
Mose jong ngahmun lailung ahung lhun tan ahile, bongnou lim ki sem thu chu amutan chule mipi abonchauva alam ujong chu amun ahile ama alungsa lheh jeng tan ahi. Chuin akhut tenia ahin choi songpheng teni chu tolla asep lhajeng tan ahile anigellin akeh jeng tan ahi.
20 He took the bull calf and burned it, and ground it into powder. Then he mixed this with water and made the Israelites drink it.
Mose'n jong bongnou lim kisem chu alan meiyin ahal vam lha jeng tan chuin tol lham ma jong agoidi jel in chu jouvin avutvai chengse chu twija asunglut in hiche twi chu Israel te abonchauvin adonsah in ahi.
21 Then Moses asked Aaron, “What did these people do to you that you made them sin so badly?”
Mose'n jong Aaron henga aseiyin, hiche mite hon nachunga ipi lomlom a se abol uva nangman amaho chungchang thu jeh a hichan loma hi chonset nabol jeng hitam tin aseijin ahi.
22 “Please don't get angry with me, my lord,” Aaron replied, “You yourself know how liable these people are to do evil.
Aaron jeng jong chun aseijin ipilom ma nalung sat na na lhunsah jeng hitam kapu atin, amaho hi thilse bol ding a kipedoh ahitauve tin aseijin ahi.
23 They told me, ‘Make some gods for us who can lead us because this man Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt—we don't know what's happened to him!’
Amahon ka heng a asei un, ei lamkai thei diuvin pathen lim semthu tampi eisem peh un ajeh chu Mose kitipan Egypt gam'a kon in eihin puidoh uvin tun ama hoiya uma iti ham keihon ama chungchang imacha kahe tapouve tin asei uve.
24 So I said to them, ‘Anybody who has gold jewelry, take it off and give it to me.’ I threw the gold into the furnace and out came this bull calf.”
Keiman jong aheng uva ka seijin, sana bilba neichan in sutlha uvin katin ahile hichu kaheng a ahin choi jun, chuin keiman jong sana bilba jouse chu meilhum sung a kalhah a ahile bongnou lim in ahung soh doh tan ahi, ati.
25 Moses saw the people going completely wild because Aaron had let them, and that this had brought ridicule on them from their enemies.
Aaron in hitia mipi anabol tah jeh chun Mose'n jong hiche mite hi akijumso ding mong mong a kilha thang ahitauve ti ahe chen tai.
26 So he went and stood at the entrance to the camp, and shouted out, “Whoever is on the Lord's side, come and join me!” All the Levites gathered around him.
Mose jong achen ngahmun kelkot achun ading in, Pakaiya dia pang jing koikoi nalah uva um'em, kaheng lama hung un tin aseitan ahile, Levi chapate jouse chu Mose henglama ahung taovin ahi.
27 Moses told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: Each of you strap on a sword. Then go all through the camp from one end to the other and kill your brothers, friends, and neighbors.”
Mose'n jong amaho henga aseijin, Pakai Israel Pathen in aseije, Pasal ki tiphot in chem cha akong a ki poh cheh uhen, ngahmun kelkot alangto gel'in phetlha uvin lang, pasal a kai kiti phot in asopipa chu that jeng hen, chule pasal a kai phot chun a sopipa that jeng hen, pasal jousen aheng akom a in heng chan chu that jeng hen tin aseiye, ati.
28 The Levites did what Moses had told them, and that day around 3,000 men were killed.
Chuin Levi chapaten jong Mose thupeh bang ban in mi a that tauvin ahile, hiche nikho chun mihem sang thum jen athi tauvin ahi.
29 Moses told the Levites, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to the Lord because you took action against your sons and brothers. Today you have gained a blessing for yourselves.”
Mose'n jong hiti hin aseyin, tunia kipat nanghon na macham cheh uva Pakai kin nabol theina diuva, mi abangin achapa atha a, chule asopipa ham atha a, ajeh chu tuni nikhoa hi nang ho jouse chunga Pakaiyin nachung cheh uva thensona anei ahi, ati.
30 The following day Moses spoke to the people, saying, “You have sinned very badly. But now I will go up to the Lord. Maybe I can get him to forgive your sin.”
Mose'n jong ajing nikho in japi henga chun aseijin, nang hon chonsetna thanghoi tah nabol doh tauvin, keima tua hi Pakai henglama che touding ka hin, hiche chonset na bol uchu thoidamna na kisem peh diuva ahiye, ati.
31 So Moses went back to the Lord. He said, “Please—the people have sinned very badly by making gods of gold for themselves.
Mose jong Pakai henglama akilen asei tai, Hiche mipite jouse hi abonchauvin thanghoi tah in chonset abol tauvin ahi. ama amacham in pathen limsem thu tamtah ana kisem doh tauvin ahi, ati.
32 But now, if you will, forgive their sin. Otherwise just blot me out of the scroll in which you keep your records.”
Hijong le Pakaiyin na lung ahile a chonset na'u jouse ngaidam teiyin, ngaidam thei lou dinmun ahitah le vang, na heng a ka hung tauve, nang man na jihdohsa hiche songpheng a kon chun keima hi nei sugam hel jeng tan tin atao tan ahi.
33 But the Lord replied to Moses, “It's those who sinned against me who will be blotted out of my scroll.
Chu in Pakaiyin Mose henga aseijin, “Koi hijong le keima doumah bol'a chonse pa bou chu hiche ka lekhasut akonna chu keiman jong ka suh gam hel jeng ding ahi,” ati.
34 Now go and lead the people to the place I told you about. Look, my angel will go before you, but at the time I decide to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
Tun nangma ki patdoh in keiman ka sei peh na mun, hiche mun channa chu mipi na ga lam kai ding ahiye. Ka vantil chu na masang lama masa ding, keiman nangma ka hung vil teng le koi hile hiche mite lah a achonse pen pen chu keiman lethuhna ka peh cheh cheh ding ahi,” ati.
35 The Lord brought a plague on the people because they made Aaron make the bull calf.
“Aaron in mi jouse bong lim ana sem peh tah jeh in Pakaiyin jong gamsunga natna hoise alansah tan ahi.”
