Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us elohim, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Abantu bwe baalaba nga Musa aluddeyo nnyo ku lusozi, ne bakuŋŋaanira awali Alooni, ne bamugamba nti, “Jjangu, otukolere bakatonda abanaatukulembera; kubanga Musa ono eyatuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, tetumanyi kimutuuseeko.”
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
Alooni n’abaddamu nti, “Mwambule empeta eza zaabu, bakyala bammwe, ne batabani bammwe, ne bawala bammwe ze bambadde ku matu gaabwe, muzindeetere.”
3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Awo abantu bonna ne beenaanulako empeta zaabwe eza zaabu ez’oku matu, ne bazireetera Alooni.
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy elohim, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Alooni n’azisaanuusa; zaabu eyavaamu n’agibumbamu ennyana, ng’agirongoosa n’ekyuma. Ne balyoka boogera nti, “Bano be bakatonda bo ggwe Isirayiri abaakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri!”
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to YHWH.
Alooni bwe yalaba ebyo, n’azimba ekyoto mu maaso g’ennyana, n’alyoka alangirira nti, “Enkya tujja kukolera Mukama embaga.”
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 play.
Awo enkeera, abantu ne bazuukuka mu makya, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ne baleeta n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe; ne batuula ne balya era ne banywa, ne basituka ne bakola effujjo.
7 And YHWH said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Serengeta, kubanga abantu bo be waggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri boonoonye;
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 thereunto, and said, These be thy elohim, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
bavudde mangu mu kkubo lye nabalagira; beekoledde ennyana ensaanuuse ne bagisinza, ne bagireetera ebiweebwayo, ne boogera nti, ‘Bano be bakatonda bo, ggwe Isirayiri, abaakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri!’”
9 And YHWH said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Abantu bano mbalabye, era ndabye nga bakakanyavu.
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.
Kale, kaakano ndeka obusungu bwange bubabuubuukireko, mbazikirize; kyokka ggwe ndikufuula eggwanga ekkulu.”
11 And Moses besought YHWH his Elohim, and said, YHWH, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Naye Musa ne yeegayirira Mukama Katonda we, n’agamba nti, “Lwaki obusungu bwo bubuubuukira abantu bo be waggya mu nsi y’e Misiri n’obuyinza, awamu n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi?
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, 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.
Lwaki okwogeza Abamisiri nti, ‘Yabatwala ng’agenderedde kubakola kabi, abattire mu nsozi, abazikirize, bave ku nsi?’ Nyiigulukuka, obusungu obubuubuuka bukuveeko, oleme kuleeta bulabe ku bantu bo.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest 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.
Jjukira abaweereza bo Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Isirayiri, be walayirira ggwe kennyini, n’obagamba nti, ‘Ndyaza bazzukulu bammwe ng’emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu, era n’ensi eno gye mbasuubizza ndigiwa bazzukulu bammwe, era eribeera omugabo gwammwe ennaku zonna.’”
14 And YHWH repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Mukama akabi ke yali ategese okukola abantu be n’atakaleeta.
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
Awo Musa n’aserengeta okuva ku lusozi ng’akutte mu mikono gye ebipande ebibiri eby’Endagaano, nga biwandiikiddwako ku njuyi zombi.
16 And the tables were the work of Elohim, and the writing was the writing of Elohim, graven upon the tables.
Ebipande byakolebwa Katonda, n’ebiwandiike ebyaliko byali bya Katonda, nga ye yabisala ku bipande ebyo.
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.
Yoswa bwe yawulira oluyoogaano lw’abantu nga baleekaana, n’agamba Musa nti, “Mu lusiisira eriyo okuyoogaana ng’okw’olutalo.”
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.
Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Siwulira maloboozi galeekaana olw’obuwanguzi, oba amaloboozi g’okwaziirana olw’okuwangulwa, naye maloboozi ga kuyimba ge mpulira.”
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 brake them beneath the mount.
Naye Musa bwe yasemberera olusiisira, n’alengera ennyana, n’alaba n’amazina; obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka, n’asuula eri ebipande ebyali mu mikono gye, ne bimenyekera awo wansi w’olusozi.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
N’addira ennyana gye baali bakoze n’agyokya mu muliro n’agisekulasekula, n’agimerungulira ddala ng’olufuufu; olufuufu n’alumansa ku mazzi n’agawa abaana ba Isirayiri ne baganywa.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Abantu bano baakukoze ki, n’obaleetera okwonoona ennyo bwe batyo?”
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my master wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
Alooni n’amuddamu nti, “Tonnyiigira nnyo, mukama wange, naawe abantu bano obamanyi, ng’emitima gyabwe bwe gyamanyiira okwonoona.
23 For they said unto me, Make us elohim, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Baŋŋambye nti, ‘Tukolere bakatonda abanaatukulembera kubanga Musa ono eyatuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, tetumanyi kimutuuseeko.’
24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Nange kwe kubagamba nti, ‘Buli alina ebya zaabu abyeyambuleko,’ ne babimpa ne mbiteeka mu muliro, ne bivaamu ennyana eno.”
25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies: )
Awo Musa bwe yalaba ng’abantu basasamadde, nga Alooni yali abalese ne basasamala, era ng’abalabe baabwe babasekerera,
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on YHWH 's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
n’ayimirira mu mulyango gw’olusiisira, n’agamba nti, “Ani ali ku ludda lwa Mukama? Ajje wano we ndi.” Awo batabani ba Leevi bonna ne bakuŋŋaanira w’ali.
27 And he said unto them, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
N’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bw’ayogera nti, ‘Buli musajja yeesibe ekitala kye mu kiwato kye, muyiteeyite mu nsiisira okuva ku ludda olumu okutuuka ku ludda olulala, nga buli musajja atta muganda we ne mukwano gwe, ne muliraanwa we.’”
28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Abaleevi ne bakola nga Musa bwe yabalagira; era ku lunaku olwo abantu ng’enkumi ssatu ne battibwa.
29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to YHWH, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Awo Musa n’agamba nti, “Mwawuddwa leero eri Mukama, bwe musse buli omu mutabani we, era ne muganda we; Mukama abawadde omukisa ku lunaku lwa leero.”
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 YHWH; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
Enkeera Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Mwonoonye nnyo. Naye nze ka ŋŋende eri Mukama ndabe obanga nnaatangiririra ekibi kyammwe.”
31 And Moses returned unto YHWH, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them elohim of gold.
Bw’atyo Musa n’addayo eri Mukama, n’agamba nti, “Kitalo! Abantu bano nga boonoonye nnyo; bwe beekoledde bakatonda aba zaabu!
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.
Bw’oba osiima basonyiwe ekibi kyabwe; naye bwe kitaba kityo, nkwegayirira onsangule mu kitabo kyo ky’owandiise.”
33 And YHWH said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Naye Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Oyo yekka ankozeeko ekibi gwe ndisangula mu kitabo kyange.
34 Therefore 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.
Kaakano genda otwale abantu mu kifo ekyo kye nakutegeeza; era, laba, malayika wange ajja kukukulembera. Naye ekiseera nga kituuse okubabonereza ndibabonerereza ddala olw’ekibi kyabwe.”
35 And YHWH plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Awo Mukama n’aleetera abantu kawumpuli, kubanga beekolera ennyana, Alooni gye yababumbira.
