Exodus 32
1 And the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mountain, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say to him, “Rise, make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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 says to them, “Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring [them] to 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 break off the rings of gold which [are] in their ears, and bring [them] to Aaron,
Awo abantu bonna ne beenaanulako empeta zaabwe eza zaabu ez’oku matu, ne bazireetera Alooni.
4 and he receives [it] from their hand, and fashions it with an engraving tool, and makes it [into] a molten calf, and they say, “These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you 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 Aaron sees, and builds an altar before it, and Aaron calls, and says, “A festival to YHWH—tomorrow”;
Alooni bwe yalaba ebyo, n’azimba ekyoto mu maaso g’ennyana, n’alyoka alangirira nti, “Enkya tujja kukolera Mukama embaga.”
6 and they rise early on the next day, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring peace-offerings near; and the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise 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 says to Moses, “Go, descend, for your people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt have done corruptly,
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Serengeta, kubanga abantu bo be waggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri boonoonye;
8 they have quickly turned aside from the way that I have commanded them; they have made a molten calf for themselves, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you 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 says to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a stiff-necked people;
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Abantu bano mbalabye, era ndabye nga bakakanyavu.
10 and now, leave Me alone, and My anger burns against them, and I consume them, and I make you become a great nation.”
Kale, kaakano ndeka obusungu bwange bubabuubuukireko, mbazikirize; kyokka ggwe ndikufuula eggwanga ekkulu.”
11 And Moses appeases the face of his God YHWH and says, “Why, O YHWH, does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong 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 Why do the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them out in calamity to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? Turn back from the heat of Your anger, and relent from this calamity against Your 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 Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Your servants, to whom You have sworn by Yourself, and to whom You speak: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and they have inherited [it] for all time”;
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 relents from the evil which He has spoken of doing to His people.
Mukama akabi ke yali ategese okukola abantu be n’atakaleeta.
15 And Moses turns, and goes down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony [are] in his hand, tablets written on both their sides; they [are] written on this [side] and on that [side];
Awo Musa n’aserengeta okuva ku lusozi ng’akutte mu mikono gye ebipande ebibiri eby’Endagaano, nga biwandiikiddwako ku njuyi zombi.
16 and the tablets are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
Ebipande byakolebwa Katonda, n’ebiwandiike ebyaliko byali bya Katonda, nga ye yabisala ku bipande ebyo.
17 And Joshua hears the voice of the people in their shouting and says to Moses, “A noise of battle 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 says, “It is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness—I am hearing a voice of singing.”
Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Siwulira maloboozi galeekaana olw’obuwanguzi, oba amaloboozi g’okwaziirana olw’okuwangulwa, naye maloboozi ga kuyimba ge mpulira.”
19 And it comes to pass, when he has drawn near to the camp, that he sees the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burns, and he casts the tablets out of his hands, and breaks them below the mountain;
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 takes the calf which they have made, and burns [it] with fire, and grinds [it] until [it is] small, and scatters [it] on the face of the waters, and causes the sons of Israel to drink.
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 says to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, that you have brought in a great sin on it?”
Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Abantu bano baakukoze ki, n’obaleetera okwonoona ennyo bwe batyo?”
22 And Aaron says, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you have known the people, that it [is beset] with evil;
Alooni n’amuddamu nti, “Tonnyiigira nnyo, mukama wange, naawe abantu bano obamanyi, ng’emitima gyabwe bwe gyamanyiira okwonoona.
23 and they say to me, Make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to him;
Baŋŋambye nti, ‘Tukolere bakatonda abanaatukulembera kubanga Musa ono eyatuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, tetumanyi kimutuuseeko.’
24 and I say to them, Whoever has gold, let them break [it] off, and they give [it] to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf comes out.”
Nange kwe kubagamba nti, ‘Buli alina ebya zaabu abyeyambuleko,’ ne babimpa ne mbiteeka mu muliro, ne bivaamu ennyana eno.”
25 And Moses sees the people, that it [is] unbridled, for Aaron has made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders,
Awo Musa bwe yalaba ng’abantu basasamadde, nga Alooni yali abalese ne basasamala, era ng’abalabe baabwe babasekerera,
26 and Moses stands in the gate of the camp and says, “Who [is] for YHWH? [Come] to me!” And all the sons of Levi are gathered to 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 says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Each put his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and each slay his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.”
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 sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses, and there falls 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 says, “Consecrate your hand to YHWH today, for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring a blessing on you today.”
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 comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses says to the people, “You have sinned a great sin, and now I go up to YHWH, perhaps I can atone 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 turns back to YHWH and says, “Ah, now this people has sinned a great sin, that they make a god of gold for themselves;
Bw’atyo Musa n’addayo eri Mukama, n’agamba nti, “Kitalo! Abantu bano nga boonoonye nnyo; bwe beekoledde bakatonda aba zaabu!
32 and now, if You take away their sin—and if not—please blot me out of Your scroll which You have written.”
Bw’oba osiima basonyiwe ekibi kyabwe; naye bwe kitaba kityo, nkwegayirira onsangule mu kitabo kyo ky’owandiise.”
33 And YHWH says to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me—I blot him out of My scroll;
Naye Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Oyo yekka ankozeeko ekibi gwe ndisangula mu kitabo kyange.
34 and now, go, lead the people wherever I have spoken to you of; behold, My Messenger goes before you, and in the day of my charging—then I have charged their sin on 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 plagues the people because they made the calf which Aaron made.
Awo Mukama n’aleetera abantu kawumpuli, kubanga beekolera ennyana, Alooni gye yababumbira.
