Exodus 32
1 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى الشَّعْبُ أَنَّ مُوسَى قَدْ طَالَتْ إقَامَتُهُ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ، اجْتَمَعُوا حَوْلَ هَرُونَ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَيَّا، اصْنَعْ لَنَا إِلَهاً يَتَقَدَّمُنَا فِي مَسِيرِنَا، لأَنَّنَا لَا نَدْرِي مَاذَا أَصَابَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ مُوسَى الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ». | ١ |
2 Aaron said to them, "Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me."
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ هَرُونُ: «انْزِعُوا أَقْرَاطَ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي فِي آذَانِ نِسَائِكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ وَبَنِيكُمْ، وَأَعْطُونِي إِيَّاهَا». | ٢ |
3 All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
| فَنَزَعُوهَا مِنْ آذَانِهِمْ، وَجَاءُوا بِها إِلَيْهِ. | ٣ |
4 He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, "These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."
| فَأَخَذَهَا مِنْهُمْ وَصَهَرَهَا وَصَاغَ عِجْلاً. عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالُوا: «هَذِهِ آلِهَتُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَتْكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ». | ٤ |
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD."
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ هَرُونُ ذَلِكَ شَيَّدَ مَذْبَحاً أَمَامَ الْعِجْلِ وَأَعْلَنَ: «غَداً هُوَ عِيدٌ لِلرَّبِّ». | ٥ |
6 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.
| فَبَكَّرَ الشَّعْبُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي وَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَقَدَّمُوا قَرَابِينَ سَلامٍ. ثُمَّ احْتَفَلُوا فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا، وَمِنْ ثَمَّ قَامُوا لِلَّهْوِ وَالْمُجُونِ. | ٦ |
7 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Go down at once, for your people whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
| فَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «قُمْ وَانْزِلْ فَإِنَّ الشَّعْبَ الَّذِي قَدْ أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، قَدْ فَسَدَ. | ٧ |
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'"
| إِذِ انْحَرَفُوا سَرِيعاً عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، فَصَاغُوا لَهُمْ عِجْلاً وَعَبَدُوهُ وَذَبَحُوا لَهُ الذَّبَائِحَ هَاتِفِينَ: هَذَا هُوَ إِلهُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ». | ٨ |
9 The LORD said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and look, they are a stiff-necked people.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «لَقَدْ تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَإذَا بِهِ شَعْبٌ عَنِيدٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ. | ٩ |
10 Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation."
| وَالآنَ دَعْنِي وَغَضَبِي الْمُحْتَدِمَ فَأَفْنِيَهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَجْعَلَكَ أَنْتَ شَعْباً عَظِيماً». | ١٠ |
11 Moses pleaded with the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
| فَابْتَهَلَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا يَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبُكَ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مُقْتَدِرَةٍ؟ | ١١ |
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'He brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?' Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.
| لِمَاذَا يَشْمَتُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ فِينَا قَائِلِينَ: لَقَدِ احْتَالَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَهُهُمْ فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ هَهُنَا لِيُهْلِكَهُمْ فِي الْجِبَالِ وَيُفْنِيَهُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ. ارْجِعْ عَنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِكَ وَلا تُوْقِعْ هَذَا الْعِقَابَ بِشَعْبِكَ. | ١٢ |
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'"
| اذْكُرْ وُعُودَكَ لِعَبِيدِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتَ لَهُمْ بِنَفْسِكَ قَائِلاً: أُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكُمْ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ، وَأَهَبُكُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدْتُ بِها فَتَمْلِكُونَهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ١٣ |
14 The LORD changed his mind about the disaster which he said he would do to his people.
| فَتَرَاءَفَ الرَّبُّ وَلَمْ يُوْقِعْ بِشَعْبِهِ الْعِقَابَ الَّذِي تَوَعَّدَ بِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
| ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مُوسَى وَانْحَدَرَ مِنَ الجَبَلِ حَامِلاً فِي يَدِهِ لَوْحَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ (الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرِ)، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ كِتَابَةٌ عَلَى وَجْهَيْ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا، | ١٥ |
16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.
| وَكَانَ اللهُ قَدْ صَنَعَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ وَنَقَشَ الْكِتَابَةَ عَلَيْهِمَا. | ١٦ |
17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is the noise of war in the camp."
| وَسَمِعَ يَشُوعُ هُتَافَ الشَّعْبِ فَقَالَ لِمُوسَى: «هَذَا صَوْتُ تَأَهُّبٍ لِقِتَالٍ فِي المُخَيَّمِ». | ١٧ |
18 He said, "It isn't the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear."
| فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «هَذَا لَيْسَ هُتَافَ نَصْرَةٍ وَلا صُرَاخَ هَزِيمَةٍ، لَكِنْ مَا أَسْمَعُهُ هُوَ صَوْتُ غِنَاءٍ». | ١٨ |
19 It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
| وَمَا إِنِ اقْتَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنَ الْمُخَيَّمِ وَشَاهَدَ الْعِجْلَ وَالرَّقْصَ حَتَّى احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُ وَأَلْقَى بِاللَّوْحَيْنِ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَكَسَّرَهُمَا عِنْدَ سَفْحِ الْجَبَلِ. | ١٩ |
20 He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ العِجْلَ الذَّهَبِيَّ وَأَحْرَقَهُ بِالنَّارِ وَطَحَنَهُ حَتَّى صَارَ نَاعِماً، وَذَرَّاهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَاءِ وَأَرْغَمَهُمْ عَلَى الشُّرْبِ مِنْهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?"
| وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهرُونَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلَ بِكَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ حَتَّى جَلَبْتَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْخَطِيئَةَ الْعَظِيمَةَ؟» | ٢١ |
22 Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
| فَأَجَابَ هَرُونُ: «لا يَحْتَدِمْ غَضَبُ سَيِّدِي. إِنَّكَ تَعْرِفُ شَرَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ. | ٢٢ |
23 For they said to me, 'Make us gods, which shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
| لَقَدْ قَالُوا لِي: اصْنَعْ لَنَا إِلَهاً يَتَقَدَّمُنَا فِي مَسِيرِنَا، لأَنَّنَا لَا نَدْرِي مَاذَا أَصَابَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ مُوسَى الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، | ٢٣ |
24 I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:' so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."
| فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ مَنْ لَدَيْهِ ذَهَبٌ فَلْيَنْزِعْهُ وَيُعْطِنِي إِيَّاهُ، فَطَرَحْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ فَخَرَجَ هَذَا الْعِجْلُ». | ٢٤ |
25 When Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies),
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى مُوسَى أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ غَارِقٌ فِي مُجُونِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَفْلَتَ هَرُونُ زِمَامَهُمْ فَصَارُوا بِذَلِكَ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، | ٢٥ |
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on the LORD's side, come to me." All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
| وَقَفَ فِي بَابِ الْمُخَيَّمِ وَصَاحَ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَتْبَعُ الرَّبَّ فَلْيُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ هُنَا». فَاجْتَمَعَ حَوْلَهُ اللّاوِيُّونَ. | ٢٦ |
27 He said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'"
| فَهَتَفَ بِهِمْ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: لِيَتَقَلَّدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ، وَجُولُوا فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ ذِهَاباً وَإِيَاباً مِنْ مَدْخَلٍ إِلَى مَدْخَلٍ، وَاقْتُلُوا كُلَّ دَاعِرٍ أَخاً كَانَ أَمْ صَاحِباً أَمْ قَرِيباً». | ٢٧ |
28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
| فَأَطَاعَ اللّاوِيُّونَ أَمْرَ مُوسَى. فَقُتِلَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. | ٢٨ |
29 And Moses said, "You have been consecrated today to the LORD, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, so he has given a blessing to you this day."
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ مُوسَى لِلّاوِيِّينَ: «لَقَدْ كَرَّسْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّفَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ قَتْلَ ابْنِهِ أَوْ أَخِيهِ، وَلِكِنْ لِيُنْعِمْ عَلَيْكُمُ الرَّبُّ فِي هَذَا اليَوْمِ بِبَرَكَةٍ». | ٢٩ |
30 It happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, "You have committed a great sin. And now I will go up to God. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."
| وَفِي الْغَدِ قَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَقَدِ ارْتَكَبْتُمْ خَطِيئَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَهَا أَنَا أَعُودُ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لأَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لَعَلِّي أَحْظَى لَكُمْ بِغُفْرَانِهِ». | ٣٠ |
31 Moses returned to the LORD, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
| وَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَتَضَرَّعَ قَائِلاً: «يَا رَبُّ لَقَدِ اقْتَرَفَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ خَطِيئَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَصَاغُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ إِلَهاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. | ٣١ |
32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written."
| وَالآنَ إِنْ شِئْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، وَإلَّا فَامْحُنِي مِنْ كِتَابِكَ الَّذِي كَتَبْتَ». | ٣٢ |
33 The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «الَّذِي أَخْطَأَ إِلَيَّ أَمْحُوهُ مِنْ كِتَابِي | ٣٣ |
34 Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Look, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."
| وَالآنَ اذْهَبْ، وَقُدِ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتُهُ لَكَ. وَهَا هُوَ مَلاكِي يَتَقَدَّمُكَ، وَلَكِنْ لابُدَّ مِنْ مُعَاقَبَةِ الشَّعْبِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِهِمْ فِي يَوْمِ قَضَائِي». | ٣٤ |
35 The LORD struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
| وَضَرَبَ الرَّبُّ الشَّعْبَ بالْوَبَأِ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ عَلَى عِبَادَةِ الْعِجْلِ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ هَرُونُ. | ٣٥ |
