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!”
A IKE aku la na kanaka i ko Mose hookaulua ana i ka iho mai, mai ka mauna mai, akoakoa iho la na kanaka io Aarona la, olelo ae la ia ia, E ku oe, e hana i akua no kakou, i mea hele mamua o kakou: no ka mea, o ua Mose la, ke kanaka nana kakou i alakai mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai; aole kakou ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
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.”
I mai la o Aarona ia lakou, E uhai oukou i na apo gula pepeiao, i na mea iloko o na pepeiao o ka oukou wahine, a me ka oukou keikikane, a me ka oukou kaikamahine, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Uhai iho la na kanaka a pau i na gula pepeiao, i na mea iloko o ko lakou pepeiao, a lawe mai io Aarona la.
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!”
Lawe iho la ia, mai ko lakou lima aku, a koli iho la ia mea i ke kila, a hana ae la i bipi keiki i hooheheeia; a olelo iho la lakou, Eia kou akua, e ka Iseraela, nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
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!”
A ike aku la o Aarona, hana iho la ia i kuahu imua i ke alo o ia mai; hea aku la o Aarona, i aku la, E, I apopo, he ahaaina na Iehova.
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.
A ia la iho, ala koke ae la lakou, a mohai aku la i mohaikuni, a lawe mai no hoi i mohaihoomalu; a noho iho la na kanaka e ai, a e inu, a ku ae la iluna e paani.
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)!
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, O hele oe, e iho ilalo; ua hana hewa kou poe kanaka au i lawe mai ai, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
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!’”
Ua huli koke ae lakou, mai ke ala aku a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou; ua hana lakou i bipi keiki i hooheheeia no lakou, ua hoomana lakou ia mea, a ua mohai hoi lakou ia ia, me ka i ana aku, E ka Iseraela e, eia kou akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Ua ike no au i keia poe kanaka, aia hoi, he poe kanaka a-i oolea:
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.”
Ano hoi, e ae mai oe ia'u, i wela loa ko'u huhu ia lakou, i hoopau wau ia lakou; a na'u no e hana aku ia oe i lahuikanaka nui.
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]!
Nonoi aku la o Mose ma ke alo o Iehova, o kona Akua, i aku la, E Iehova, no ke aha la i wela ai kou huhu i kou poe kanaka au i lawe mai ai, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, me ka mana nui, a me ka lima ikaika?
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]
No ke aha la e olelo mai ai ko Aigupita, me ka i ana mai, No ka hewa i lawe mai ai oia ia lakou, e pepehi ia lakou ma na mauna, a e luku aku ia lakou, mai ka maka aku o ka honua? E maliu mai oe mai ka wela mai o kou huhu, a e aloha mai oe no ka hewa e hiki mai ana i kou poe kanaka.
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.’”
E hoomanao oe ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, ia Iseraela, i kau mau kauwa, i kou hoohiki ana ia lakou ma ou iho; i kau olelo ana mai ia lakou, E hoonui ana au i ka oukou ohana e like me na hoku o ka lani; a o keia aina a pau a'u i olelo ai, na'u no e haawi aku no ka oukou poe mamo, a e noho mau loa lakou ma ia aina.
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
Maliu mai la no o Iehova mai ka hoino mai ana i manao ai e hana mai i kona poe kanaka.
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.
Huli mai la o Mose, a iho mai la, mai ka mauna mai, aia hoi, maloko o kona lima na pohaku papa kanawai elua: ua palapalaia na papa ma na aoao elua, ua palapalaia no ma kahi aoao, a ma kahi aoao.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
O ia mau papa ka ke Akua i hana'i, a o ka palapala, na ke Akua ka palapala, ua kahakahaia maloko o na papa.
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!”
A lohe o Iosua i ka walaau o kanaka i ko lakou uwauwa ana, i ae la ia ia Mose, He walaau kaua ka ma kahi e hoomoana'i.
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!”
I mai la kela, Aole ia he leo no ka poe uwauwa lanakila, aole hoi ka leo o ka poe uwe i ke pio ana; aka o ka walaau mele ka'u e lohe nei.
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.
A kokoke ia i hiki i kahi o lakou i hoomoana'i, ike aku la ia i ka bipi keiki, a me ka haa ana: ulu puni iho la ko Mose huhu, kiola aku la ia i na papa, mai kona lima aku, a naha iho la laua malalo iho o ka mauna.
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.
Lawe iho la ia i ka bipi keiki a lakou i hana'i, a puhi aku la i ke ahi, a hoowali iho la a okaoka, a lulu aku la ia maluna o ka wai, a hoohainu aku la i na mamo a Iseraela i ka wai.
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?”
I aku la o Mose ia Aarona, Heaha ka mea a keia poe kanaka i hana'i ia oe, i hooili mai ai oe i keia hewa nui maluna o lakou.
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
I mai la o Aarona, Mai ulu puni mai ka huhu o kuu haku, ua ike no oe i ka poe kanaka, na paa lakou ma ke kolohe.
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!’
No ka mea, olelo mai lakou ia'u, E hana oe i na akua no kakou, e hele aku imua o kakou; no ka mea, o ua Mose nei, ke kanaka nana kakou i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, aole kakou i ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
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!”
I aku la au ia lakou, O ka mea ia ia kekahi gula, e uhai oia ia mea. Haawi mai no hoi lakou ia'u: alaila hahao aku la au ia mea iloko o ke ahi, a puka mai la mawaho ua bipi keiki nei.
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.
A ike mai la o Mose i na kanaka, ua haunaele; (no ka mea, ua hoohaunaele o Aarona ia lakou i ka lukuia imua o ko lakou poe enemi: )
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.
Alaila ku mai la o Mose ma ka puka o kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i, i mai la, Owai ka mea ma ko Iehova aoao? e hele mai ia io'u nei. A akoakoa pu mai la na mamo a pau a Levi io na la.
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.”
I mai la ia ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova o ke Akua o Iseraela penei, E kau na kanaka a pau i na pahikaua a lakou ma ko lakou aoao, e hele ae lakou a hoi mai, ma kela ipuka a keia ipuka o kahi hoomoana, a e pepehi ke kanaka i kona hoahanau, a o ke kanaka i kona makamaka, a o ke kanaka i kona hoalauna.
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
Hana iho la na mamo a Levi e like me ka olelo a Mose: a haule iho la ia lakou ia la na kanaka ekolu paha tausani.
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.”
No ka mea, ua olelo mai o Mose, E hoolaa oukou ia oukou iho no Iehova i keia la, o ke kanaka maluna o kana keiki a maluna o kona hoahanau; i hoomaikai mai kela ia oukou i keia la.
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].”
A ia la iho, i mai la o Mose i na kanaka, Ua lawehala loa oukou; ke pii aku nei no hoi au io Iehova la; e hana paha wau i mea e kalaia mai ai ko oukou hewa.
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.
Hoi aku la o Mose io Iehova la, i aku la, Auwe hoi, ua lawehala loa keia poe kanaka, a ua hana i akua gula no lakou.
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].”
Ano hoi, ina paha e kala mai oe i ko lakou hewa?; aka, i ole, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe e holoi mai oe ia'u, mai ka buke au i palapala ai.
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, O ka mea i lawehala i ka'u, e holoi aku au ia ia, mai ka'u buke aku.
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.”
No ia mea, o hele oe, e alakai ia poe kanaka i kahi a'u i olelo ai ia oe: aia hoi, e hele no ko'u anela mamua ou, aka hoi, i ko'u la e hoopai ai, e hoopai aku au i ko lakou hewa maluna o lakou.
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
Hahau mai la Iehova i na kanaka no ka lakou hana ana i ka bipi keiki a Aarona i hana'i.
