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!”
Ke mwet uh liye lah Moses el pahtlac in oatui liki fineol uh, elos toeni nu yorol Aaron ac fahk nu sel, “Kut tia etu lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt. Ke ouinge, orala sie god an nu sesr in kol kut.”
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 el fahk nu selos, “Eisla yaring gold ma mutan kiowos, wen nutuwos, ac acn nutuwos elos yaringkin an, ac use nu sik.”
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Ouinge mwet nukewa eisla yaring gold lalos ac usla nu yorol Aaron.
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!”
El munanak yaring inge nwe ke kofelik, na el okoala gold uh nu in sie form ma lumahla soko cow fusr mukul. Na mwet uh fahk, “Israel, pa inge god lasr, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt!”
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!”
Na Aaron el musaela sie loang ye mutun cow mukul gold soko uh, ac fahkak “Lutu ac fah orek sie kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD.”
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.
Toangna ke lotutang se toko ah, elos usani kosro mwe kisa firir, ac kutu in mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Mwet uh mutani, ac elos nimnim ac oru ouiya na kupatol.
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)!
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Aksaye tufoki, tuh mwet lom su kom kolma liki Egypt elos orala sie ma na koluk.
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!’”
Elos kuhfla liki ouiyen moul ma nga sapkin nu selos. Elos orala cow mukul soko ke gold ac alu nu kac ac orek kisa nu kac. Elos fahk mu pa inge god lalos su pwanulosme liki Egypt.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
Nga etu lupan likkeke lun mwet inge.
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.”
Inge, nik kom srike in ikolyu. Nga kasrkusrak selos, ac nga ac kunauselosla. Na nga fah oru tuh kom ac fwil nutum in sie mutunfacl lulap.”
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]!
Tusruktu Moses el kwafe sin LEUM GOD lal ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, efu ku kom in arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet lom, su kom molelosla liki facl Egypt ke po kulana ac ku lulap lom?
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]
Efu ku kom oru mwet Egypt in ku in fahk mu ke kom pwanla mwet lom liki acn Egypt kom nuna akoo na in onelosi fineol uh ac kunauselosla nwe ke elos nukewa wanginla? Tulokinya kasrkusrak lom an. Aolla nunak lom ac nimet use mwe ongoiya inge nu fin mwet lom.
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.’”
Esam mwet kulansap lom: Abraham, Isaac ac Jacob. Esam pac wulela ku lom nu selos lah kom ac oru tuh fwilin tulik natulos in pus oana itu inkusrao, ac kom fah sang nu selos acn nukewa su kom wuleang kac tuh in ma selos nwe tok.”
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El aolla nunak lal, ac tiana sang mwe ongoiya nu fin mwet lal oana El tuh akoo in oru.
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.
Na Moses el forla ac oatui liki fineol uh, ac el us eot tupasrpasr luo ma simla ma sap fac lac lac.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
God sifacna El orala eot tupasrpasr luo uh ac kihlisya ma sap uh fac.
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!”
Joshua el lohng pusren wowo lun mwet uh ac el fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga lohng pusren mweun ke nien aktuktuk uh.”
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!”
Moses el fahk, “Tia pusren sasa in kutangla pa ingan, ku pusren tung ke kutangyukla elos, a pusren on.”
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.
Ke Moses el tuku apkuranyang nu nien aktuktuk uh el liye cow mukul gold soko, ac liye ke mwet uh onsrosro, na el foloyak. El tolya eot tupasrpasr luo uh nu pe eol uh, na eot luo ah fokelik.
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.
El sruokya cow gold soko elos orala, sang nu ke e ah nwe ke kofelik, na el itungya nwe ke mokutkuti oana powder, ac kurrauk ke kof, na el sang mwet Israel in nim.
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?”
El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Mea mwet inge oru nu sum pwanang kom lela nu selos in oru ma na koluk se inge?”
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
Aaron el topuk, “Nimet kasrkusrak sik. Kom etu kuinsrim lun mwet inge nu ke ma koluk.
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!’
Elos fahk nu sik, ‘Kut tia etu lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt. Ke ouinge, orala sie god an nu sesr in kol kut.’
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!”
Nga siyuk elos in use mwe naweyuk gold lalos nu sik, ac elos su oasr yoro elos eisla ac use nu sik. Nga sisang mwe naweyuk inge nu in e ah, na cow mukul soko inge sikyak!”
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.
Moses el liye lah Aaron el fuhlela mwet uh in sukosokla in oru na lungse lalos ac orekma in mwet lalfon ye mutun mwet lokoalok lalos.
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.
Ouinge Moses el tu ke acn in utyak nu ke nien aktuktuk ac wowoyak fahk, “Su suwos wi layen lun LEUM GOD? Fahsru nu in se inge!” Na mwet Levi nukewa tukeni nu yorol ac raunella,
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.”
ac el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El sapkin tuh kowos nukewa in srukak cutlass nutuwos ac filiya pupowos, ac fahsr sasla ke lohm nuknuk nukewa, mutawauk ke nien utyak uh sasla e layeno, ac kais sie suwos in uniya mukul Israel wiowos, mwet kawuk lowos, ac mwet tulan lowos.”
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
Mwet Levi elos akos, ac uniya akuran tausin tolu mukul Israel ke len sac.
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.”
Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Levi, “Misenge ke kowos uniya wen nutuwos ac tamulel lowos, kowos sifacna akmutalye kowos in fal nu ke orekma lun mwet tol nu sin LEUM GOD, na LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kowos.”
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].”
Len tok ah Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos tuh orala ma koluk na yohk se. Tusruktu inge nga ac sifil utyak nu fineol uh nu yurin LEUM GOD. Sahp nga ku in eis nunak munas nu ke ma koluk lowos.”
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.
Na Moses el folokla nu yurin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Mwet inge orala ma koluk na yohk se. Elos orala god se ke gold ac alu nu kac.
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].”
Inge nga kwafe sum in nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos. A kom fin tia, na kom eela inek liki book se su kom simis inen mwet lom loac.”
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
LEUM GOD El topuk, “Elos na su orekma koluk lainyu pa nga fah eela inelos liki book nutik.
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.”
Inge fahsrot, kolla mwet uh nu ke acn se nga tuh fahk nu sum kac. Esam lah lipufan luk ac fah pwen kom, tusruktu ke pacl fahsru uh nga fah kalyei mwet inge ke ma koluk lalos.”
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El supwama sie mas upa nu fin mwet uh, mweyen elos tuh sap Aaron el orala cow mukul gold soko.
