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."
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 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."
Jawab Harun “Ambillah anting-anting emas dari istri-istrimu dan anak-anakmu, lalu bawalah kepadaku.”
3 All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
Maka semua orang melepaskan anting-anting emas mereka dan membawanya kepada Harun.
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."
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 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."
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 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 spoke to Moses, saying, "Go down at once, for your people whom you brought up 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 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.'"
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 The LORD said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and look, they are a stiff-necked people.
Kata TUHAN lagi, “Aku sudah melihat betapa keras kepalanya umat ini.
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."
Sekarang, biarlah Aku melepaskan murka-Ku terhadap mereka dan menghanguskan mereka! Kemudian Aku akan membuat kamu menjadi suatu bangsa yang besar!”
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?
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 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.
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 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.'"
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 The LORD changed his mind about the disaster which he said he would do to his people.
Maka TUHAN membatalkan niat untuk membinasakan umat-Nya.
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.
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 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.
Kedua lempengan batu itu adalah karya Allah. Dia sendirilah yang menuliskan perintah-perintah pada kedua lempengan tersebut.
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."
Yosua mendengar suara keramaian umat di bawah dan dia berkata kepada Musa, “Sepertinya ada peperangan di perkemahan!”
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."
Jawab Musa, “Bukan! Itu bukan suara sorak kemenangan ataupun tangisan kekalahan. Aku mendengar suara nyanyian.”
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.
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 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.
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 Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?"
Setelah itu, Musa memarahi Harun, katanya, “Apa yang sudah dilakukan umat ini kepadamu sehingga kamu memimpin mereka melakukan dosa yang sangat besar?!”
22 Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
Harun berkata, “Janganlah marah, Tuanku. Tuan sendiri tahu betapa jahatnya bangsa ini.
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.'
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 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."
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 When Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision 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, "Whoever is on the LORD's side, come to me." All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to 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 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.'"
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 The sons 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 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."
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 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."
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 Moses returned to the LORD, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves 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, please blot me 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 The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever 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 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."
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 The LORD struck 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.
