< 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!”
Kane ji oneno ni Musa osedeko ewi got, negichokore ma gilworo Harun kendo giwachone niya, “Bi mondo ilosnwa nyiseche ma biro dhi nyimwa, nimar ok wangʼeyo gima osetimore ne Musa mane ogolowa ka waa e piny Misri.”
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.”
Harun nodwokogi niya, “Kawuru sitadi mag dhahabu ma yawuotu kod nyiu orwako mondo ukelna.”
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Kuom mano, ji duto nokawo sitadigi mi gikelogi ne Harun.
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!”
Nokawo gik mane omiyego monywaso kendo olosogo kido machalo gi mar nyaroya. Eka nowachonegi niya, “Magi e nyisecheu mane ogolou e piny Misri, yaye Israel.”
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!”
Kane Harun oneno kamano, nogero kendo mar misango e nyim nyaroyano kendo nolando niya, “Kiny notim sawo ne Jehova Nyasaye”
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.
Kuom mano, ji nochiewo kinyne kogwen mochiwo misango miwangʼo pep kendo negichiwo misango mag lalruok. Bangʼe negibedo piny mondo gichiem kendo gimethi kendo negia malo mondo gimiel miende dwanyruok.
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)!
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Lor piny idog ir jogi mane igolo kawuok e piny Misri nikech gisekethore”
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!’”
Giselokore mapiyo nono ka giweyo chike mane amiyogi kendo giseloso nyasaye maket gi nyaroya. Gisekulorene piny kendo gisechiwone misango mi giwacho niya, “Magi e nyisecheu mane ogolou e piny Misri, yaye Israel.”
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Aseneno jogi kendo gin joma tokgi tek.
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.”
Kuom mano, koro weya mondo mirimba mager otiekgi. Bangʼe to anaketi ibed oganda maduongʼ.”
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]!
To Musa nokwayo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasache kowachone niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, en angʼo momiyo mirimbi mager ditiek jogi mane igolo gi teko maduongʼ kod lweti maratego kawuok e piny Misri?
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]
Angʼo momiyo dimi jo-Misri wuo gi ngʼayi kawacho ni, ‘Nogologi gi chuny marach mondo otiekgi ewi gode kendo mondo otiekgi e wangʼ piny?’ Kuom mano, we mirimbi mager, mondo ilok chunyi kik ikel kethruok ni jogi.
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.’”
Par jotichni Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo mane ikwongʼorini in iwuon kiwacho ni, ‘Abiro keto nyikwayi mondo obed mangʼeny kaka sulwe mar kor polo bende abiro miyo nyikwayi pinyni duto mane asingonegi ni nobed mwandugi nyaka chiengʼ.’”
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye noloko pache mine ok okelone joge masira mane osewacho.
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.
Musa nolor koa e got kotingʼo kite ariyo mag Rapar e lwete kendo kitego nondik koni gi koni.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
Kitego ne gin tich Nyasaye; kendo ndiko mane ni kuomgi ne mar Nyasaye.
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!”
Kane Joshua owinjo koko mane ji goyo nowacho ne Musa niya, “Mahu mar lweny wuok e kambi.”
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!”
To Musa nodwoke niya, “Ok en mahu mar loch kata ywak mar joma olo e lweny; to en mana koko mar wer ema awinjo.”
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.
Kane Musa ochopo machiegni gi kambi koa e tiend got noneno ji kamiel e nyim nyaroya, kendo iye nowangʼ mi nodiro kite mopa mane ni e lwete piny ma gitore matindo tindo.
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.
Bangʼe nokawo nyaroya mane giseloso mi owangʼe e mach kendo norege mayom kaka mogo mi noruwe gi pi momiyo jo-Israel mondo omodhi.
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?”
Nopenjo Harun niya, “Angʼo mane jogi otimoni momiyo irwakogi e richo maduongʼ kamano?”
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
Harun nodwoke niya, “Kik ibed gi ich wangʼ ruodha nimar ingʼeyo kaka chuny jogi osiko kopongʼ gi richo.
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!’
Ne giwachona kama, ‘Losnwa nyiseche mabiro telonwa, nimar ok wangʼeyo gima otimo ngʼat ma Musa-ni mane ogolowa e piny Misri.’
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!”
Kuom mano nawachonegi ni, ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato man-gi bangli mag dhahabu okaw mondo okel.’ Eka negimiya dhahabu kendo nakete e mach mi aloso nyaroyani!”
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.
Musa noneno ka ji osenjawni kendo kaka Harun noketogi mi gibedo joma wigi tek ma ijaro gi wasikgi.
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.
Kuom mano nochungʼ e dhoranga kambi mowacho niya, “Ngʼato angʼata man kor Jehova Nyasaye obi ira.” Kendo jo-Lawi duto nochungʼ e ngʼeye.
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.”
Eka nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel wacho: ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato okaw liganglane. Wuothuru ei kambi duto koni gi koni ka ngʼato ka ngʼato nego owadgi, osiepne kod ngʼat modak bute.’”
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
Jo-Lawi notimo kaka Musa nochikogi kendo chiengʼno ji madirom alufu adek nonegi.
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.”
Eka Musa nowacho niya, “Un osewalu ni Jehova Nyasaye kawuono nimar ne ulokoru gi oweteu gi yawuotu kendo Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhou kawuono.”
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].”
Kinyne Musa nowacho ni ji niya, “Usetimo richo maduongʼ to koro abiro dhi ir Jehova Nyasaye nimar dipoka akwayonu Jehova Nyasaye mondo owenu richou.”
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.
Kuom mano Musa nodok ir Jehova Nyasaye mowacho niya, “Yaye, mano kaka jogi osetimo richo malich, ma giseloso nyisechegi mag dhahabu.
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].”
To koro kiyie, to wenegi richogi, to ka ok kamano, to ruch nyinga oko e kitabu misendikono.”
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko Musa niya, “Ngʼato angʼata motimo richo e nyima ema anaruch nyinge oko e kitabu mara.
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.”
To koro, dhiyo mondo itelne ji kiterogi kama ne awacho kendo malaikana biro telo nyimu. To kata kamano, ka kindena mar kum ochopo to anakumgi nikech richogi.”
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
Kuom mano, Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo jogo gi tuoche kuom lamo nyaroya mane Harun oloso.
