Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people assembled themselves together around Aaron, and they said unto him, Up, make us gods, that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who hath brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know 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, Take out 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 took out 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 took them from their hand, and fashioned it in a mould, and he made of it a molten calf; and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that have 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 this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron called out, and said, A feast unto the Lord is tomorrow.
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 near 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 the Lord spoke unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, hath become corrupt:
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Serengeta, kubanga abantu bo be waggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri boonoonye;
8 They have turned aside quickly from the way which I have commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf: and they have bowed themselves to it, and have sacrificed unto it, and have said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that 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 the Lord 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 And now let me alone, and my wrath shall wax hot against them, and I will make an end of them; and I will make of thee a great nation.
Kale, kaakano ndeka obusungu bwange bubabuubuukireko, mbazikirize; kyokka ggwe ndikufuula eggwanga ekkulu.”
11 Thereupon Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Why, O Lord, shall 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?
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 say thus, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to destroy them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent thee of the evil decreed 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 didst swear by thy own self, and speak 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 the Lord bethought himself of the evil which he had spoken to do unto his people.
Mukama akabi ke yali ategese okukola abantu be n’atakaleeta.
15 And Moses turned about, and went down from the mount with the two tables of the testimony in his hand: tables inscribed on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they inscribed.
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 God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tables.
Ebipande byakolebwa Katonda, n’ebiwandiike ebyaliko byali bya Katonda, nga ye yabisala ku bipande ebyo.
17 And Joshua heard the noise of the people in its shouting, and 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 a shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of a cry for defeat; the noise of singing 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, when he came nigh unto the camp, and he saw the calf, and the dancing: that the anger of Moses waxed hot, and he cast from his hands the tables, and broke them at the foot of 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 fire, and ground it to a powder, and he strewed 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 hath this people done unto thee, that thou hast brought upon it so great a sin?
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 Lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that it is bent on mischief.
Alooni n’amuddamu nti, “Tonnyiigira nnyo, mukama wange, naawe abantu bano obamanyi, ng’emitima gyabwe bwe gyamanyiira okwonoona.
23 And they said unto me, Make us gods that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath 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, Who hath any gold? They took it off themselves and gave it to me, and 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 Moses saw the people that it had become unruly; for Aaron had made it unruly for a disgrace among their opponents.
Awo Musa bwe yalaba ng’abantu basasamadde, nga Alooni yali abalese ne basasamala, era ng’abalabe baabwe babasekerera,
26 Moses then placed himself in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come unto me! and there assembled themselves unto him all the sons of Levi.
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 hath said the Eternal, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword by his side, and go ye hither and thither, from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his relative.
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 on that day about three thousand men.
Abaleevi ne bakola nga Musa bwe yabalagira; era ku lunaku olwo abantu ng’enkumi ssatu ne battibwa.
29 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, yea even every man on his son, and on his brother; and to bestow upon you this day a blessing.
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 the Lord; peradventure I may obtain 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 the Lord, and said, Oh, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves gods 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—; but if not, blot me out, I pray thee, from 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 the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out from my book.
Naye Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Oyo yekka ankozeeko ekibi gwe ndisangula mu kitabo kyange.
34 And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, my angel shall go before thee; but on 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 the Lord sent a plague among the people, because that they had made the calf which Aaron made.
Awo Mukama n’aleetera abantu kawumpuli, kubanga beekolera ennyana, Alooni gye yababumbira.
