Exodus 32
1 Bvt when the people sawe, that Moses taryed long or he came downe from the mountaine, the people gathered themselues together against Aaron, and sayde vnto him, Vp, make vs gods to goe before vs: for of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt) we knowe not what is become of him.
Esi Mose megbɔ tso to la dzi kaba o ta la, Israelviwo gblɔ na Aron be, “Kpɔ ɖa, wɔ mawu aɖe si akplɔ mí la na mí, elabena Mose, ame si kplɔ mí tso Egipte la, bu ɖe mí. Nane anya wɔe.”
2 And Aaron said vnto them, Plucke off the golden earings, which are in the eares of your wiues, of your sonnes, and of your daughters, and bring them vnto me.
Aron ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Miɖe sikatogɛ siwo mia srɔ̃wo, mia viŋutsuwo kple mia vinyɔnuwo de la eye miatsɔ wo vɛ nam.”
3 Then all ye people pluckt from them selues the golden earings, which were in their eares, and they brought them vnto Aaron.
Ale wo katã woɖe woƒe sikatogɛwo tsɔ vɛ na Aron.
4 Who receiued them at their handes, and facioned it with the grauing toole, and made of it a molte calfe: then they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of ye lad of Egypt
Aron lolõ sika la, eye wòtsɔe wɔ nyivi aɖe ƒe nɔnɔme. Ameawo do ɣli be, “O, Israel, esiae nye mawu si kplɔ wò do goe le Egipte!”
5 When Aaron sawe that, he made an Altar before it: and Aaron proclaimed, saying, To morow shalbe the holy day of the Lord.
Esi Aron kpɔ ale si ameawo kpɔ dzidzɔe le nyivilegba la ŋu la, etu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe nyivilegba la ŋgɔ, eye wòɖe gbeƒã be, “Etsɔ la, míasa vɔ aɖe na Yehowa!”
6 So they rose vp the next day in the morning, and offred burnt offerings, and brought peace offrings: also the people sate them downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play.
Esi ŋu ke la, wofɔ kaba, eye wode asi numevɔsawo kple ŋutifafavɔsawo wɔwɔ me na nyivilegba la. Emegbe la, wonɔ anyi ɖu nu, eye wono nu nyuie, eye wotsi tsitre, eye woɖu ɣe.
7 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go, get thee downe: for thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath corrupted their wayes.
Tete Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Ɖi kaba, elabena wò ame siwo nèkplɔ tso Egipte la dze nu vɔ̃ me,
8 They are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: for they haue made them a molten calfe and haue worshipped it, and haue offered thereto, saying, These be thy gods, O Israel, which haue brought thee out of the lande of Egypt.
eye woɖe asi le nye seawo katã ŋu enumake. Wowɔ sikanyivilegba aɖe na wo ɖokuiwo. Wole esubɔm, le vɔ sam nɛ, eye wole gbɔgblɔm be, ‘O Israel, esiae nye wò mawu si kplɔ wò tso Egipte.’”
9 Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stiffe necked people.
Yehowa yi edzi be, “Mekpɔ be dukɔ sia me tɔwo nye kɔlialiatɔwo kple aglãdzelawo.
10 Nowe therefore let mee alone, that my wrath may waxe hote against them, for I wil consume the: but I wil make of thee a mighty people.
Gblẽm ɖi azɔ, eye nye dɔmedzoe nabi ɖe wo ŋu. Matsrɔ̃ wo katã, eye mawɔ wò, Mose nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe ɖe wo teƒe.”
11 But Moses praied vnto the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote against thy people, which thou hast brought out of the lande of Egypt, with great power and with a mightie hand?
Ke Mose ɖe kuku na Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la be megawɔ nenema o. Eɖe kuku be, “Yehowa, nu ka ta nèdo dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ ale ɖe wò ŋutɔ wò dukɔ si nèkplɔ tso Egiptenyigba dzi kple ŋusẽ gã kple nukunu triakɔ mawo tɔgbi la ŋu?
12 Wherefore shall the Egyptians speake, and say, He hath brought them out maliciously for to slay them in the mountaines, and to consume them from the earth? turne from thy fearce wrath, and change thy minde from this euill towarde thy people.
Ɖe nèdi be Egiptetɔwo nagblɔ be, ‘Mawu ble wo be woava toawo dzi ale be yeate ŋu awu wo, atsrɔ̃ wo ɖa le anyigba dzi keŋkeŋ’ mahã? Ɖe asi le wò dɔmedzoe sesẽ la ŋu. Trɔ wò susu, eye mègahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va wò amewo dzi o.
13 Remember Abraham, Izhak, and Israel thy seruants, to whom thou swarest by thine owne selfe, and saydest vnto them, I wil multiply your seede, as the starres of the heauen, and all this land, that I haue spoken of, wil I giue vnto your seede, and they shall inherit it for euer.
Ɖo ŋku wò ŋutɔ wò ŋugbe si nèdo na wò dɔlawo, Abraham, Isak kple Israel la dzi, elabena ètsɔ wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkɔ ka atam be, ‘Mana miaƒe dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ abe dziƒoɣletiviwo ene, eye matsɔ anyigba sia katã si ŋugbe medo la ana miaƒe dzidzimeviwo tegbetegbe.’”
14 Then the Lord changed his minde from the euil, which he threatned to do vnto his people.
Ale Yehowa trɔ eƒe tameɖoɖo la, eye wòkpɔ nublanui na wo.
15 So Moses returned and went downe from the mountaine with the two Tables of the Testimonie in his hande: the Tables were written on both their sides, euen on the one side and on the other were they written.
Mose ɖi tso to la dzi. Elé kpe eve siwo ƒe akpa eveawo dzi woŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖo la ɖe asi.
16 And these Tables were the worke of God, and this writing was the writing of God grauen in the Tables.
Mawu ŋutɔe kpa kpeawo, eye wòŋlɔ Seawo ɖe kpeawo dzi.
17 And when Ioshua heard the noyse of the people, as they shouted, he said vnto Moses, There is a noyse of warre in the hoste.
Esi Yosua se ɣli si ameawo katã nɔ dodom le toa te la, egblɔ na Mose be, “Ewɔ abe ɖe wole dzadzram ɖo na aʋawɔwɔ ene!”
18 Who answered, It is not the noyse of them that haue the victorie, nor the noyse of them that are ouercome: but I do heare ye noyse of singing.
Ke Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, menye dziɖuɣli alo aʋasiɣlie o, ke boŋ hadzidzie.”
19 Nowe, as soone as he came neere vnto the hoste, he sawe the calfe and the dancing: so Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the Tables out of his handes, and brake them in pieces beneath the mountaine.
Esi wote ɖe asaɖa la ŋu la, Mose kpɔ sikanyivilegba la kple ameawo wonɔ ɣe ɖum. Edo dɔmedzoe ale gbegbe be wòtsɔ kpe siwo dzi Mawu ŋlɔ Seawo ɖo la ƒu anyi wogbã le to la te.
20 After, he tooke the calfe, which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it vnto powder, and strowed it vpon the water, and made the children of Israel drinke of it.
Etsɔ sikanyivilegba la, eye wòdee dzo me wòlolo. Esi sika la fa la, etui memie wòzu wɔ. Etsɔ wɔ la kɔ ɖe tsi me hena Israelviwo wono.
21 Also Moses said vnto Aaron, What did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them?
Mose bia Aron be, “Nu ka tututu ameawo wɔ wò be nèhe nu vɔ̃ triakɔ sia va wo dzi?”
22 Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fearce: Thou knowest this people, that they are euen set on mischiefe.
Aron ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nye aƒetɔ, mègado dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ nenema o. Ènya ame siawo nyuie, eye ènya ameha vɔ̃ɖi si wonye.
23 And they sayde vnto me, Make vs gods to go before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.)
Woawoe gblɔ nam be, ‘Wɔ mawu aɖe na mí, wòakplɔ mí, elabena nane wɔ Mose, ame si kplɔ mí do goe le Egipte.’
24 Then I sayde to them, Ye that haue golde, plucke it off: and they brought it me, and I did cast it into the fire, and thereof came this calfe.
Megblɔ na wo be, ‘Mitsɔ miaƒe sikatogɛwo vɛ.’ Ale wotsɔ wo vɛ. Metsɔ wo de dzo me, eye nyivi siae do go tso eme!”
25 Moses therefore sawe that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked vnto their shame among their enemies)
Esi Mose kpɔ be ameawo lé woƒe mɔ tsɔ to Aron ƒe ŋusẽdoame me, eye yewoƒe futɔwo nɔ dzidzɔ kpɔm le nu sia ŋu la,
26 And Moses stoode in ye gate of the campe, and sayde, Who pertaineth to the Lord? let him come to mee. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered themselues vnto him.
etsi tsitre ɖe asaɖa la ƒe mɔnu, eye wòdo ɣli be, “Mi ame siwo katã le Yehowa dzi la, miva afi sia miawɔ ɖeka kplim.” Tete Levitɔwo katã do go va egbɔ.
27 Then he said vnto them, Thus sayth ye Lord God of Israel, Put euery man his sworde by his side: go to and from, from gate to gate, through the hoste, and slay euery man his brother, and euery man his companion, and euery man his neighbour.
Egblɔ na wo be, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, ‘Mitsɔ miaƒe yiwo, eye miatsa le asaɖa la me, tso asaɖa la ƒe seƒe ɖeka yi ekemɛ, eye miawu mia ŋutɔwo mia nɔviwo, xɔlɔ̃wo kple ame nyanyɛwo gɔ̃ hã.’”
28 So the children of Leui did as Moses had commanded: and there fel of the people the same day about three thousand men.
Levitɔwo wɔ abe ale si Mose gblɔ na wo ene, eye ame abe akpe etɔ̃ ene ku gbe ma gbe.
29 (For Moses had said, Cosecrate your hands vnto the Lord this day, euen euery man vpon his sonne, and vpon his brother, that there may be giuen you a blessing this day)
Mose gblɔ na Levitɔwo be, “Egbe la, mieɖo mia ɖokuiwo hena dɔwɔwɔ na Yehowa, elabena mieɖo toe, togbɔ be toɖoɖoe na be miewu mia ŋutɔwo mia viwo kple mia nɔviwo hã. Azɔ la, Yehowa akɔ yayra geɖe ɖe mia dzi.”
30 And when the morning came, Moses sayde vnto the people, Yee haue committed a grieuous crime: but now I wil goe vp to the Lord, if I may pacifie him for your sinne.
Esi ŋu ke la, Mose gblɔ na Israelviwo be, “Miewɔ nu vɔ̃ gã aɖe, ke magbugbɔ ayi Yehowa gbɔ le to la dzi. Ɖewohĩ mate ŋu ana wòatsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi.”
31 Moses therefore went againe vnto ye Lord, and said, Oh, this people haue sinned a great sinne, and haue made them gods of golde.
Ale Mose trɔ yi Yehowa gbɔ, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “O, ame siawo wɔ nu vɔ̃ gã aɖe: wotsɔ sika wɔ mawuwo na wo ɖokuiwo.
32 Therefore now if thou pardon their sinne, thy mercy shall appeare: but if thou wilt not, I pray thee, rase me out of thy booke, which thou hast written.
Meɖe kuku, tsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo. Ke ne màte ŋui o la, ekema na nye boŋ maku ɖe wo teƒe, eye nàtutu nye ŋkɔ ɖa le wò agbalẽ la me.”
33 Then the Lord sayd to Moses, Whosoeuer hath sinned against me, I will put out of my booke.
Yehowa ɖo eŋu na Mose be, “Ame sia ame si wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋunye la, eya ƒe ŋkɔe matutu ɖa le nye agbalẽ la me.
34 Go nowe therefore, bring the people vnto the place which I commanded thee: behold, mine Angel shall goe before thee, but yet in the day of my visitation I wil visite their sinne vpon them.
Azɔ la, yi eye nàkplɔ nye ameawo ayi teƒe si ƒe nya megblɔ na wò. Meka ɖe edzi na wò be nye Dɔla anɔ ŋgɔ na mi. Ke ne meva be makpɔ ameawo ɖa la, mahe to na wo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.”
35 So the Lord plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make ye calfe which he made.
Tete Yehowa na dɔvɔ̃ dze ameawo dzi, elabena wosubɔ Aron ƒe sikanyivilegba la.
