Exodus 32
1 [(Moses/I) stayed on top of the mountain a long time]. When the people realized that he/I was not returning quickly, they gathered near Aaron and said to him, “We do not know what has happened to that man Moses who brought us here out of Egypt. So quickly, make us ([an idol/a statue of a god]) who will lead us!”
Mose chu Sinai Molsang akon in ahung kumlha vah tapon ahile, Israel mipi abonchauvin Aaron henga ahung uvin ajah a asei tauvin ahi; Nagman keiho eilam kai diuvin milim Pathen in neisem peh uvin, Mose Egypt gam'a kon'a eihin puidoh pa'u ageina lam ka hepha tapouvin, ama chungchang thua ima ka hepouve tin aseiyuve.
2 Aaron replied to them, “All right, [I will do that, but] tell your wives and your sons and your daughters to take off all their gold earrings and bring them to me.”
Aaron in jong aheng uva aseiyin, Na ji na chate'u bilba jouse sutlha uvin lang ka heng a na hin lhut soh kei diu ahi, ati.
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Chuin mipin jong abilba chengse'u a sutlha uvin Aaron henga ahin choi soh kei uve.
4 He took all those gold earrings and melted them in a fire. He [poured the gold into a mold and] made a statue that looked like a young bull. The people saw it and said, “This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt!”
Aaron in jong sana hochu alan, sana khen na manchah khat a kheng in, hichu bongnou khat limin akheng doh tai. Chuin mipin jong “Vo! Israel, Egypt gam'a konna na hin puidoh uva Pathen chu hiche hi ahi, atiuve”.
5 When Aaron saw [what was happening], he built an altar in front of the [statue of the] young bull. Then he announced, “Tomorrow we will have a festival to honor Yahweh!”
Aaron in jong bongnou kilhajol chu aven, hiche lim kisemna maiya chun maicham asem in, Aaron in hitin aseiye; Jing nikho teng le Pakaiya di kut khat um ding ahi, ati.
6 So the people got up early the next morning and brought animals to kill and burn as sacrifices on the altar. They also brought sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then they sat down to eat and drink [wine]. Then they got up and started dancing in a very immoral way.
Mipi jong chu jingkah matah in atou taovin Pakaiya din pumgo thilto maicham ahin choiyun, mipin jong neh le don ding twi jong atoh doh un, hiti chun ama ama malam cheh a nopsanan aumpai kit tauve.
7 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back down from the mountain, because your people, the ones that you brought up here from Egypt, have [already] (become very depraved/wicked)!
Pakaiyin Mose henga thu a seikit in, ajah a, Chen lang na mite lam jon suh tan, ajeh chu nangman Egypt gamsunga konna nahin puidoh namite khu ama ama lam cheh a chon nun mangthah ding ahitaove, ati.
8 They have already (left the road that I showed them/stopped obeying me)! They have made [a statue of] a young bull from melted gold. They have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. And they are saying, ‘This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from Egypt!’”
Keiman jui ding a ka peh jousea konin amaho achemang gam taovin, ama cham un bongnou lim asemun, chibai aboh un kithoi nan amang uvin hiti hin asei uve, “Vo israel mipite Egypt gam'a konna nahin puiod uva pathen chu hiche ho ahi, tin asam uve, ati.”
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
Pakaiyin Mose henga aseijin, “Amaho chung chang thua keima kaki kum ding ahiye, ahi na'u abonchan kahesoh keijin milouchal te ahiuve, ati.
10 I am very angry with them, and so I am going to get rid of them. Do not try to stop me! Then I will cause you and your descendants to become a great nation.”
Keima kaki kum ding, achung'uva kalung souna ka buhlhah ding abonchauva kabah gam hel ding ahiuve, amavang keiman in nangma hi nam lentah a katun ding nahi, ati.
11 But Moses/I pleaded with his/my God, Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, (you should not be very angry with your people!/why are you so angry with your people [RHQ]?) These are the people whom you rescued from Egypt with very great power [MTY, DOU]!
Mose jong Pakai henga atao jing tan hitin aseije, “Ka Pakai na lungsatna Egypt gamma konna na hin puidoh namite chunga nalhun sah kigot jeng hi tam, ati.
12 Do not [do anything that would] allow the people of Egypt to say, ‘Their god led them out from our country, but [he did that] only [because he wanted] to kill them in the mountains and get rid of them completely [RHQ]!’ Stop being so angry! (Change your mind/Do not do what you have told me that you will do)! Do not do to your people this terrible thing [that you have just said that you will do]
Egypt miten hiti hin sei unte, Pakaiyin amaho hi thagam dinga ahin puidoh a, Pakaiyin amaho hi molsang chunga pat a ahin pui doh uva tha gam hel ding ati ahi tin gel unte, tia a seina thei diuva nabol ki got hi tam? Na lunghan na akon in lungset tah in na lung heijin lang hiche mite chunga hin suhgamna lhun sah hih beh jeng in tin a tauve.
13 Think about your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You solemnly promised them, ‘I will enable you to have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.’ You said to them, ‘I will give to your descendants all the land that I am promising to give them. It will be their land forever.’”
Nalhacha masa Abraham, Isaac chule Israel chu avel in geldoh kit temin, aheng uvah kihahselna nana neiyin hitin naseiye, “Na son na chilhah teo kapunsah ding van'a ahsi jat kaphah sah diu chule keiman katepsa hiche gampumpi hi nanghon naluo soh hel ding u ahi, hichu nanghon atonsot tonsot geija ding ahi tia nasei chu avel in geldoh kit temin, ati.
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
Chuin Pakaiyin amite chung a abol ding thil chu bol talouvin alung ahai tan ahi.
15 Moses/I turned away from God and went down the mountain, carrying in his hands the two stone slabs on which Yahweh had engraved his commandments. He had written on both sides of the slabs.
Mose jong molsang apat chun ahung kumsuh tan ahile, hettoh sahna songpheng teni a mailamma Pathen khut jih ki jih teni chu ahin choiyin ahi. Hiche song pehng teni chu anung lam ahin chu le amalam a jong anigel a lekha jem kisun ahi.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
Hiche songpheng teni chu Pathen in asem ahin, Lekha jem kisung jeng jong chu Pathen lekha sut ma ahi. Hichu asong peng teni chunga chu a kijih sa ahiye.
17 Joshua heard the very loud noise of the people shouting. So when he and I got near the camp, Joshua said, “There is a noise in the camp that sounds like [the noise of] a battle!”
Chuin mipi awgin chu akithong jeng tan ahile Joshua injong Mose henga asei tai, “Ngahmun sunglama khu galkisat a hitam awgin khu ngaitiem in atin ahi”,
18 But Moses/I replied, [“No], that is not the shouting that people do when they have won a victory or when they have been defeated [in a battle] What I hear is the sound of [loud] singing!”
Mose'n jong a don but in aseije, “galjona awgin jong ahideh poi chule gal lal na jeh a awgin jong ahipoi, keiman ka jah dan in lakisa awgin joh ahiye, ati.
19 As soon as Moses/I came close to the camp and saw the statue of the young bull and saw the people dancing, he/I became extremely angry. He/I threw the stone tablets that he/I was carrying down onto the ground, there at the base of the mountain.
Mose jong ngahmun lailung ahung lhun tan ahile, bongnou lim ki sem thu chu amutan chule mipi abonchauva alam ujong chu amun ahile ama alungsa lheh jeng tan ahi. Chuin akhut tenia ahin choi songpheng teni chu tolla asep lhajeng tan ahile anigellin akeh jeng tan ahi.
20 Then he/I took the statue of the young bull that they had made and melted it in the fire. [When it cooled], he/I ground it into [fine] powder. Then he/I mixed the powder with water and forced the Israeli people to drink it.
Mose'n jong bongnou lim kisem chu alan meiyin ahal vam lha jeng tan chuin tol lham ma jong agoidi jel in chu jouvin avutvai chengse chu twija asunglut in hiche twi chu Israel te abonchauvin adonsah in ahi.
21 Then he/I said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, with the result that you have made them commit such a terrible sin?”
Mose'n jong Aaron henga aseiyin, hiche mite hon nachunga ipi lomlom a se abol uva nangman amaho chungchang thu jeh a hichan loma hi chonset nabol jeng hitam tin aseijin ahi.
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
Aaron jeng jong chun aseijin ipilom ma nalung sat na na lhunsah jeng hitam kapu atin, amaho hi thilse bol ding a kipedoh ahitauve tin aseijin ahi.
23 They said to me, ‘As for that man Moses, the one who brought us up here from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. So make for us an idol that will lead us!’
Amahon ka heng a asei un, ei lamkai thei diuvin pathen lim semthu tampi eisem peh un ajeh chu Mose kitipan Egypt gam'a kon in eihin puidoh uvin tun ama hoiya uma iti ham keihon ama chungchang imacha kahe tapouve tin asei uve.
24 So I said to them, ‘Everyone who is wearing [gold earrings] should take them off.’ So they [took them off and] gave them to me. I threw them into the fire, and out came this statue of a young bull!”
Keiman jong aheng uva ka seijin, sana bilba neichan in sutlha uvin katin ahile hichu kaheng a ahin choi jun, chuin keiman jong sana bilba jouse chu meilhum sung a kalhah a ahile bongnou lim in ahung soh doh tan ahi, ati.
25 Moses/I saw that Aaron had allowed the people to become completely out of control and to do things that would make their enemies think the Israeli people were foolish.
Aaron in hitia mipi anabol tah jeh chun Mose'n jong hiche mite hi akijumso ding mong mong a kilha thang ahitauve ti ahe chen tai.
26 So he/I stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “Everyone who is loyal to Yahweh should come [closer] to me!” So the descendants of Levi gathered around him/me.
Mose jong achen ngahmun kelkot achun ading in, Pakaiya dia pang jing koikoi nalah uva um'em, kaheng lama hung un tin aseitan ahile, Levi chapate jouse chu Mose henglama ahung taovin ahi.
27 Then he/I said to them, “Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, commands that every one of you should fasten your sword to your side, and then go through the camp from this entrance to the other one, and kill some of your relatives and your companions and your neighbors.”
Mose'n jong amaho henga aseijin, Pakai Israel Pathen in aseije, Pasal ki tiphot in chem cha akong a ki poh cheh uhen, ngahmun kelkot alangto gel'in phetlha uvin lang, pasal a kai kiti phot in asopipa chu that jeng hen, chule pasal a kai phot chun a sopipa that jeng hen, pasal jousen aheng akom a in heng chan chu that jeng hen tin aseiye, ati.
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
Chuin Levi chapaten jong Mose thupeh bang ban in mi a that tauvin ahile, hiche nikho chun mihem sang thum jen athi tauvin ahi.
29 Moses/I said to the descendants of Levi, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to serving Yahweh by (killing/not sparing) [even] your own sons and brothers, and as a result Yahweh will bless you.”
Mose'n jong hiti hin aseyin, tunia kipat nanghon na macham cheh uva Pakai kin nabol theina diuva, mi abangin achapa atha a, chule asopipa ham atha a, ajeh chu tuni nikhoa hi nang ho jouse chunga Pakaiyin nachung cheh uva thensona anei ahi, ati.
30 The next day, Moses/I said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But I will now climb up the mountain again to talk with Yahweh. Perhaps I can [persuade him] to forgive you for sinning [like this].”
Mose'n jong ajing nikho in japi henga chun aseijin, nang hon chonsetna thanghoi tah nabol doh tauvin, keima tua hi Pakai henglama che touding ka hin, hiche chonset na bol uchu thoidamna na kisem peh diuva ahiye, ati.
31 So Moses/I went back up the mountain and said to Yahweh, “I am sorry to admit that these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made for themselves a gold idol and have worshiped it.
Mose jong Pakai henglama akilen asei tai, Hiche mipite jouse hi abonchauvin thanghoi tah in chonset abol tauvin ahi. ama amacham in pathen limsem thu tamtah ana kisem doh tauvin ahi, ati.
32 But now I ask you to please forgive them for having sinned. If you will not forgive them, then erase my name from the book in which you have written [the names of your people].”
Hijong le Pakaiyin na lung ahile a chonset na'u jouse ngaidam teiyin, ngaidam thei lou dinmun ahitah le vang, na heng a ka hung tauve, nang man na jihdohsa hiche songpheng a kon chun keima hi nei sugam hel jeng tan tin atao tan ahi.
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
Chu in Pakaiyin Mose henga aseijin, “Koi hijong le keima doumah bol'a chonse pa bou chu hiche ka lekhasut akonna chu keiman jong ka suh gam hel jeng ding ahi,” ati.
34 Now you go back down and lead the [Israeli] people to the place that I told you about. Keep in mind that my angel will go in front of you. But, at the time that I determine, I will punish them for their sin.”
Tun nangma ki patdoh in keiman ka sei peh na mun, hiche mun channa chu mipi na ga lam kai ding ahiye. Ka vantil chu na masang lama masa ding, keiman nangma ka hung vil teng le koi hile hiche mite lah a achonse pen pen chu keiman lethuhna ka peh cheh cheh ding ahi,” ati.
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
“Aaron in mi jouse bong lim ana sem peh tah jeh in Pakaiyin jong gamsunga natna hoise alansah tan ahi.”
