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 gods, 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.
Ketika orang-orang melihat bahwa Musa lama sekali tidak turun dari gunung, mereka bersama-sama datang kepada Harun dan berkata, “Kita tidak tahu apa yang terjadi dengan si Musa itu, yang sudah menghasut kita keluar dari Mesir! Karena itu ayolah, buatkan patung dewa bagi kami untuk memimpin kita!”
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.
Jawab Harun “Ambillah anting-anting emas dari istri-istrimu dan anak-anakmu, lalu bawalah kepadaku.”
3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Maka semua orang melepaskan anting-anting emas mereka dan membawanya kepada Harun.
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 your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Kemudian Harun mengambil barang-barang emas itu dan dia melebur, membentuk, serta memahatnya menjadi patung berbentuk anak sapi. Melihat patung itu, umat pun saling berkata, “Hai umat Israel, inilah dewa kita yang sudah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir!”
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD.
Ketika Harun melihat bahwa umat merasa senang, dia mendirikan mezbah di depan patung anak sapi itu dan berkata kepada mereka, “Besok kita akan mengadakan perayaan bagi TUHAN!”
6 And they rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
Keesokan harinya mereka bangun pagi-pagi untuk mempersembahkan kurban yang dibakar habis dan kurban tanda damai kepada patung itu. Lalu mereka makan dan minum serta berpesta pora.
7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get you down; for your people, which you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Berkatalah TUHAN kepada Musa, “Segeralah turun! Umat yang kamu bawa keluar dari Mesir sudah menajiskan diri!
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 your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Mereka cepat sekali menyimpang dari jalan yang Aku perintahkan. Mereka sudah membuat patung berhala berbentuk anak sapi, lalu bersujud kepadanya dan mempersembahkan kurban baginya. Mereka berkata, ‘Hai umat Israel, inilah dewa yang sudah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir!’”
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stubborn people:
Kata TUHAN lagi, “Aku sudah melihat betapa keras kepalanya umat ini.
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 you a great nation.
Sekarang, biarlah Aku melepaskan murka-Ku terhadap mereka dan menghanguskan mereka! Kemudian Aku akan membuat kamu menjadi suatu bangsa yang besar!”
11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why does your wrath wax hot against your people, which you have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Tetapi Musa memohon kepada TUHAN Allahnya, “Janganlah Engkau menghanguskan mereka dengan murka-Mu! Ingatlah bahwa mereka itu umat-Mu, yang Engkau bawa keluar dari Mesir dengan kuasa dan kekuatan-Mu.
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 your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.
Jangan sampai orang Mesir berkata, ‘TUHAN membawa umat Israel keluar dari Mesir dengan maksud jahat, supaya Dia membunuh mereka di pegunungan dan membinasakan mereka dari muka bumi.’ Ya TUHAN, mohon redakanlah murka-Mu, batalkan niat-Mu, dan jangan binasakan umat-Mu!
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you sware by your own self, and said 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.
Ingatlah kepada hamba-hamba-Mu, Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub. Engkau sudah bersumpah demi diri-Mu sendiri dan berkata kepada mereka, ‘Aku akan membuat keturunanmu sebanyak bintang-bintang di langit. Aku akan memberikan semua tanah ini yang sudah Aku janjikan kepada keturunanmu dan mereka akan memiliki tanah itu selamanya.’”
14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Maka TUHAN membatalkan niat untuk membinasakan umat-Nya.
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.
Kemudian Musa berbalik dan turun dari gunung sambil memegang dua lempengan batu yang bertuliskan perintah-perintah Allah pada sisi depan dan belakangnya. Perintah-perintah itu adalah kewajiban utama bagi umat Israel dalam perjanjian mereka dengan Allah.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Kedua lempengan batu itu adalah karya Allah. Dia sendirilah yang menuliskan perintah-perintah pada kedua lempengan tersebut.
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.
Yosua mendengar suara keramaian umat di bawah dan dia berkata kepada Musa, “Sepertinya ada peperangan di perkemahan!”
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.
Jawab Musa, “Bukan! Itu bukan suara sorak kemenangan ataupun tangisan kekalahan. Aku mendengar suara nyanyian.”
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.
Ketika Musa sudah dekat dengan perkemahan itu, dia pun melihat patung anak sapi emas dan orang-orang sedang menari-nari. Maka sangat marahlah Musa. Dia melemparkan kedua lempengan batu di tangannya ke tanah di kaki gunung itu sehingga hancur.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Musa mengambil patung anak sapi emas yang mereka buat, dan bersama beberapa orang lain dia meleburnya ke dalam api, menumbuknya sampai halus seperti debu, dan menaburkannya ke atas air. Kemudian Musa menyuruh umat Israel meminum air itu.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto you, that you have brought so great a sin upon them?
Setelah itu, Musa memarahi Harun, katanya, “Apa yang sudah dilakukan umat ini kepadamu sehingga kamu memimpin mereka melakukan dosa yang sangat besar?!”
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: you know the people, that they are set on mischief.
Harun berkata, “Janganlah marah, Tuanku. Tuan sendiri tahu betapa jahatnya bangsa ini.
23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, 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.
Mereka berkata kepadaku, ‘Buatkanlah bagi kami patung dewa untuk memimpin kita. Kita tidak tahu apa yang terjadi kepada Musa itu, orang yang sudah menghasut kita keluar dari Mesir.’
24 And I said unto them, Whosoever has 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.
Maka saya berkata kepada mereka, ‘Lepaskanlah anting-anting emas kalian dan bawalah ke sini.’ Lalu mereka memberikannya kepadaku. Sesudah itu, aku melemparkan emas itu ke dalam api, dan jadilah patung ini!”
25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies: )
Musa melihat bahwa umat Israel sudah hilang kendali dan Harun tidak berusaha mengendalikan mereka sehingga mereka dapat ditertawakan oleh musuh.
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
Maka dia berdiri di depan pintu masuk perkemahan dan berkata, “Setiap orang yang berpihak kepada TUHAN, kemari dan bergabunglah dengan saya!” Lalu datanglah semua orang Lewi mengelilinginya.
27 And he said unto them, Thus says the LORD God 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.
Musa berkata kepada mereka, “TUHAN Allah Israel berkata, ‘Ambillah pedangmu masing-masing dan berjalanlah dari ujung perkemahan ke ujung yang lain. Bunuhlah saudaramu, temanmu, dan tetanggamu yang sudah terlibat dalam penyembahan berhala ini!’”
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.
Orang-orang Lewi melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan Musa, dan hari itu juga sekitar tiga ribu orang mati terbunuh.
29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Musa berkata, “Hari ini kamu masing-masing sudah mengkhususkan diri untuk melayani TUHAN dengan menaati perintah-Nya, meskipun kamu harus membunuh anak-anakmu dan saudara-saudaramu sendiri. Oleh karena tindakanmu itu, TUHAN akan memberkatimu.”
30 And it came to pass on the next day, that Moses said unto the people, All of you have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; possibly I shall make an atonement for your sin.
Keesokan harinya Musa berkata kepada bangsa Israel, “Kalian sudah melakukan dosa besar! Tetapi saya akan naik untuk menghadap TUHAN dan meminta pendamaian atas dosamu.”
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
Lalu kembalilah Musa menghadap TUHAN dan berkata, “Bangsa ini sudah berbuat dosa besar. Mereka membuat patung dewa emas untuk disembah.
32 Yet now, if you will forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray you, out of your book which you have written.
Tetapi aku mohon ampunilah dosa mereka. Jika tidak, maka biarlah namaku juga dihapuskan dari kitab yang berisi daftar nama-nama umat-Mu.”
33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Tidak! Yang Aku hapuskan dari kitab itu hanyalah orang yang berdosa terhadap-Ku.
34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto you: behold, mine Angel shall go before you: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
Sekarang pergilah, pimpinlah mereka ke tempat yang sudah Aku beritahukan kepadamu. Malaikat yang sudah Aku utus akan berjalan di depanmu. Namun, akan tiba saatnya Aku menghukum mereka atas dosa mereka!”
35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Kemudian TUHAN mendatangkan wabah penyakit pada bangsa Israel karena mereka sudah mendesak Harun untuk membuat patung tadi.
