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.
Mose kyɛe wɔ bepɔw no so saa no, nnipa no nyinaa kɔɔ Aaron so kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ntɛm, yɛ anyame a wobedi yɛn anim ma yɛn, efisɛ yenhu baabi a Mose a odii yɛn anim de yɛn fi Misraim asase so baa ha no afa; ebia na biribi ayɛ no.”
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.
Aaron nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munyiyi mo sika nsonkaa nyinaa mmra.”
3 Then all ye people pluckt from them selues the golden earings, which were in their eares, and they brought them vnto Aaron.
Wɔn nyinaa yiyii wɔn nsonkaa brɛɛ Aaron.
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
Aaron nan sikakɔkɔɔ nsonkaa no, na ɔde oguu nantwi ba ohoni. Nnipa no nyinaa kae se, “Israel, oyi ne mo nyame a oyii mo fii Misraim asase so bae no.”
5 When Aaron sawe that, he made an Altar before it: and Aaron proclaimed, saying, To morow shalbe the holy day of the Lord.
Aaron huu sɛ nnipa no ani agye sika nantwi ba ohoni no ho no, osii afɔremuka sii nantwi ba no anim kae se, “Ɔkyena yɛbɛhyɛ fa ama Awurade.”
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.
Wɔsɔree anɔpahema fii ase bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre de maa nantwi ba ohoni no. Ɛno akyi no, wɔtoo pon kɛse, didi nomee, goruu abosongoru, yɛɛ ahuhude.
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.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Yɛ ntɛm na sian kɔ wo nkurɔfo a wode wɔn fi Misraim asase so bae no nkyɛn, efisɛ wɔagu wɔn ho fi,
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.
na wɔabu me mmara nyinaa nso so. Wɔabɔ sika nantwi ba a wɔsom no, asan abɔ afɔre nso ama no aka se, ‘Israel, oyi ne mo nyame a oyii mo fii Misraim asase so bae no.’”
9 Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stiffe necked people.
Awurade kae se, “Mahu sɛnea saa nnipa yi si yɛ asoɔden na wɔsan yɛ atuatewfo fa.
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.
Afei, ma me kwan na memma mʼabufuw nnɛw ntia wɔn mma mensɛe wɔn. Na mɛyɛ wo ɔman kɛse.”
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?
Nanso Mose srɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnyɛ saa. Ɔkɔɔ so se, “Awurade, adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ wʼabufuw dɛw atia wo ara wo nkurɔfo a wonam anwonwakwan ne wo tumi so yii wɔn fii Misraim asase so yi?
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.
Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ Misraimfo no ka se, ‘Onyankopɔn daadaa wɔn sɛ wɔmmra bepɔw no so sɛnea obenya wɔn akum wɔn, atɔre wɔn ase afi asase so?’ Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam na gyae ɔsɛe a wopɛ sɛ wode ba wo nkurɔfo no so no.
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.
Kae bɔ a wohyɛɛ wʼasomfo Abraham, Isak ne Israel no. Wo ara wokaa ntam se, ‘Mɛma mo asefo adɔɔso sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma na mede saa asase a mahyɛ mo ho bɔ yi nyinaa bɛma mo asefo na wɔatena so afebɔɔ.’”
14 Then the Lord changed his minde from the euil, which he threatned to do vnto his people.
Na Awurade sesaa nʼadwene de wɔn ho kyɛɛ wɔn.
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.
Afei, Mose sian fii bepɔw no so bae a okura Mmaransɛm Du no a wɔakyerɛw agu abo apon abien akyi ne anim no.
16 And these Tables were the worke of God, and this writing was the writing of God grauen in the Tables.
Onyankopɔn no ankasa na ɔkyerɛw mmaransɛm no wɔ apon no so.
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.
Bere a Yosua tee sɛ nnipa bi reyɛ gyegyeegye no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ɛyɛ me sɛ wɔreboaboa wɔn ho akɔ ɔko!”
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.
Ɛnna Mose nso buaa no se, “Ɛnyɛ nkonimdi mu nnyigyei na ɛnyɛ nkogu de, na mmom, ɛyɛ nnwonto nnyigyei na mete.”
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.
Wobeduu atenae hɔ, Mose huu nantwi ba no ne asaw a wɔresaw. Enti ɔde abufuwhyew tow kyerɛwapon no hwehwee fam ma ebubuu wɔ bepɔw no ase.
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.
Ɔfaa nantwi ba no nan no wɔ ogya mu na edwoe no, ɔyam no muhumuhu de guu nsu mu maa nnipa no nomee.
21 Also Moses said vnto Aaron, What did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them?
Obisaa Aaron se, “Dɛn nko ara na saa nnipa no yɛɛ wo a enti wudii wɔn anim ma wɔyɛɛ saa bɔne kɛse yi?”
22 Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fearce: Thou knowest this people, that they are euen set on mischiefe.
Aaron buaa no se, “Mma wo bo mmfuw. Wo ara wunim sɛnea wo nkurɔfo yi yɛ nnipa bɔne fa.
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.)
Wɔn ara na wɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Yɛ onyame bi ma yɛn na ɔnkyerɛ yɛn kwan na yennim nea ayɛ saa Mose a odii yɛn anim fii Misraim no.’
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.
Enti me nso mekae se, ‘Munyiyi mo sikakɔkɔɔ nsonkaa mma me.’ Woyiyi de maa me na mede guu gya mu. Ɛne saa nantwi ba no!”
25 Moses therefore sawe that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked vnto their shame among their enemies)
Mose huu sɛ Aaron ama nnipa no adan aguamammɔfo ama wɔn atamfo anya wɔn no,
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.
ogyinaa wɔn atenae hɔ pon no ano teɛɛ mu se, “Mo a mowɔ Awurade afa no, mommra me nkyɛn.” Lewifo no nyinaa kɔɔ ne nkyɛn.
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.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade Israel Nyankopɔn se, ‘Momfa mo afoa nhyehyɛ mo ho na munni mo atenae hɔ akɔneaba, na munkunkum mo nuanom, mo nnamfonom ne mo afipamfo.’”
28 So the children of Leui did as Moses had commanded: and there fel of the people the same day about three thousand men.
Enti wɔyɛɛ saa maa nnipa bɛyɛ mpensa totɔɔ da no.
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)
Afei, Mose ka kyerɛɛ Lewifo no se, “Nnɛ, moatu mo ho asi hɔ sɛ mobɛsom Awurade, efisɛ moayɛ osetie ama no ama mpo, monam so akunkum mo mma ne mo nuanom, enti obehyira mo bebree.”
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.
Ade kyee anɔpa no, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo no se, “Moayɛ bɔne a ɛso bi mmaa da, nanso mɛsan akɔ Awurade nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw no so akɔhwɛ sɛ ebia, menya bɔnefakyɛ ama mo ana.”
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.
Enti Mose san kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ao, saa nnipa yi ayɛ bɔne a ɛso bi mmaa da, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ wɔn anyame.
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.
Enti meredi ama wɔn sɛ, fa wɔn bɔne kyɛ wɔn, na sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, pepa me din fi nhoma a woakyerɛw no mu.”
33 Then the Lord sayd to Moses, Whosoeuer hath sinned against me, I will put out of my booke.
Awurade buaa Mose se, “Obiara a wayɛ me bɔne no, mɛpepa no afi me nhoma mu.
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.
Enti afei, kɔ na di nkurɔfo no anim kɔ baabi a mekyerɛɛ wo no na mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ mɛma me bɔfo adi wʼanim; nanso sɛ mebɛsra nkurɔfo no a, mɛtwe wɔn aso wɔ wɔn bɔne no ho.”
35 So the Lord plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make ye calfe which he made.
Na esiane sɛ nnipa no som Aaron nantwi ba no nti, ɔtew ɔyare guu wɔn so.
