Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him: 'Up, make us a god who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.'
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai kuo tuai ʻae ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻunga, naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kia ʻElone, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake ʻo ngaohi hotau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻaia ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitautolu; he koeʻuhi ko Mōsese ni ko e tangata naʻe ʻomi ʻakitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻilo pe kuo ʻi fē ia.”
2 And Aaron said unto them: 'Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.'
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻElone kiate kinautolu, “Motuhi mai ʻae ngaahi hau koula, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he telinga ʻo homou ngaahi mali, mo homou ngaahi foha, mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine, pea ʻomi ia kiate au.”
3 And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Pea naʻe fesiʻi leva ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi hau koula naʻe ʻi honau telinga, ʻo ʻomi ia kia ʻElone.
4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said: 'This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
Pea maʻu ʻe ia ʻi honau nima, pea hili ʻene haka ia ke ngaohi ʻae fakatātā ʻoe pulu mui, naʻa ne fakafuofua ia ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā; pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko ʻeni ho ngaahi ʻotua ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said: 'To-morrow shall be a feast to the LORD.'
Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻa ʻElone, pea fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova ʻapongipongi.”
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to make merry.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ʻo ʻomi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino; pea naʻe nofo hifo ʻae kakai ke kai mo inu, pea tutuʻu hake ke fakavā.
7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses: 'Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have dealt corruptly;
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke ʻalu ki lalo: he ko ho kakai, ʻaia kuo ke ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, kuo nau fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu:
8 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said: This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
Kuo nau afe leva mei he hala ʻaia kuo u fekauʻi ai ʻakinautolu: kuo nau ngaohi moʻonautolu ʻae fakatātā haka ki he pulu mui, pea kuo nau hū ki ai, mo nau feilaulau ki ai, ʻo pehē, Ko eni ho ngaahi ʻotua ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Kuo u mamata ki he kakai ni, pea vakai, ko e kakai kia kekeva ia:
10 Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.'
Pea ko ʻeni, tuku ai pe au, koeʻuhi ke tupu pe ʻo vela ʻeku tuputāmaki kiate kinautolu, pea koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: pea te u fakatupu ʻiate koe ʻae puleʻanga lahi.”
11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, why doth Thy wrath wax hot against Thy people, that Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Pea naʻe kole fakamātoato ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku tupu ʻo vela ai ho houhau ki ho kakai, ʻaia kuo ke aʻutaki mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he mālohi lahi, pea ʻi he nima māfimafi?
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying: For evil did He bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from Thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against Thy people.
Ko e hā ka lea ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, naʻa ne ʻomi kovi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā, ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he funga ʻo māmani? Tafoki mei ho houhau lahi, pea lolou ʻi he kovi ni ki ho kakai.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou didst swear by Thine own self, and saidst unto them: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.'
Manatu ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu naʻa ke fuakava ki ai ʻi he ʻafiona, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, Te u fakatupu ke tokolahi homou hako ke tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea ko e fonua ni kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo u lea ki ai te u foaki ia ki homou hako, pea te nau maʻu ia ʻo taʻengata.”
14 And the LORD repented of the evil which He said He would do unto His people.
Pea naʻe lolou ʻa Sihova ʻi he kovi ʻaia naʻa ne finangalo ke fai ki hono kakai.
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
Pea naʻe tafoki ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, mo e maka ʻe ua ʻoe fuakava naʻe ʻi hono nima: kuo tohi ʻae ongo maka ʻi hona potu fakatouʻosi: kuo tohi ia ʻi hono potu ʻe taha mo hono potu ʻe taha.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ongo maka, pea ko e tohi ko e tohi ʻae ʻOtua, kuo tongi ki he ongo maka.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses: 'There is a noise of war in the camp.'
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Siosiua ki he longoaʻa ʻoe kakai ʻi heʻenau kalanga, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Mōsese, “ʻOku longolongo tau ʻae ʻapitanga.”
18 And he said: 'It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome, but the noise of them that sing do I hear.'
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e leʻo ia ʻokinautolu ʻoku mavava ʻi he mālohi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e leʻo ʻonautolu ʻoku tangi ʻi he fakavaivaiʻi: ka ʻoku ou ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻonautolu ʻoku hiva.”
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo ofi ki he ʻapitanga, naʻa ne mamata leva ki he [fakatātā ʻoe ]pulu mui mo e meʻe hopohopo: pea tupu ʻo vela ʻae ʻita ʻa Mōsese, pea ne si ʻae ongo maka mei hono nima pea naʻe laiki ia ʻi he lalo moʻunga.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pulu mui ʻaia naʻa nau ngaohi, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he afi, ʻo ne momosi ia ke efu, ʻo ne lī ia ki he vai, ʻo ne fakainu ʻaki ia ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them?'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ni kiate koe, kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻae angahala lahi pehē ni kiate kinautolu?”
22 And Aaron said: 'Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻElone, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tupu ʻo vela lahi ʻae ʻita ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae kakai, ʻoku pau pe honau loto ki he kovi.
23 So they said unto me: Make us a god, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
He naʻa nau pehē mai kiate au, Ngaohi hotau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻaia ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitautolu: he koeʻuhi ko e Mōsese ni, ko e tangata naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻilo pe kuo ʻi fē ia.
24 And I said unto them: Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off; so they gave it me; and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.'
Pea ne u tala kiate kinautolu, Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ai haʻanau koula, ke nau motuhi ia. Pea naʻa nau tuku mai ia kiate au: pea naʻaku si ia ki he afi, pea naʻe haʻu mei ai ʻae pulu mui ni.”
25 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose — for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies —
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Mōsese, ʻoku telefua ʻae kakai; (he naʻe fakatelefuaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻElone ke nau mā ai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo honau ngaahi fili: )
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: 'Whoso is on the LORD'S side, let him come unto me.' And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
Naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Mōsese ʻi he matapā ʻoe ʻapitanga, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku kau mo Sihova? Ke haʻu ia kiate au. Pea ko e ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻo Livai, naʻa nau fakataha kiate ia.”
27 And he said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.'
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Ke ʻai ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻene heletā ki hono vakavaka, pea ʻalu ʻo feʻaluʻaki ʻi he matapā ki he matapā ʻi he ʻapitanga kotoa pē, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻe he tangata hono tokoua, mo e tangata kotoa pē ʻene kaumeʻa, mo e tangata kotoa pē hono kaungāʻapi.’”
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.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa Livai ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Mōsese: pea naʻe tō ai ʻi he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae kau tangata ko e toko tolu afe nai.
29 And Moses said: 'Consecrate yourselves to-day to the LORD, for every man hath been against his son and against his brother; that He may also bestow upon you a blessing this day.'
He naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Fakatapui ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova he ʻaho ni, ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono foha, pea ki hono tokoua: koeʻuhi ke ne foaki ʻae tāpuaki kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni.”
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people: 'Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up unto the LORD, peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin.'
Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “Kuo mou fai ʻae angahala lahi: pea ko eni, te u ʻalu hake kia Sihova; heiʻilo pe teu lavaʻi ke fai ʻae fakalelei ʻi hoʻomou angahala.”
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them a god of gold.
Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOiauē, kuo fai ʻae angahala lahi ʻe he kakai ni, pea kuo ngaohi honau ngaahi ʻotua koula.
32 Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin —; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.'
Ka ko eni, kapau ʻe lelei te ke fakamolemole ʻenau angahala; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tāmateʻi au mei hoʻo tohi ʻaia kuo ke tohi.”
33 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ko ia fulipē kuo fai angahala kiate au, te u tāmateʻi ia mei heʻeku tohi.
34 And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, Mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.'
Ko ia, ke ke ʻalu ni, ʻo ʻave ʻae kakai ki he [fonua], ʻaia naʻaku lea ai kiate koe: vakai, ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe a ʻeku ʻĀngelo ka ko e moʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku ʻaʻahi, Te u ʻaʻahi ʻenau angahala kiate kinautolu.”
35 And the LORD smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Pea naʻe fakamamahi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaohi ʻae pulu mui, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe ʻElone.
