< 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!”
И видевше людие, яко умедли Моисей снити с горы, восташа людие на Аарона и глаголаша ему: востани и сотвори нам боги, иже пойдут пред нами: Моисей бо сей человек, иже изведе нас от земли Египетския, не вемы, что бысть ему.
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.”
И рече им Аарон: измите усерязи златыя, яже во ушесех жен ваших и дщерей, и принесите ко мне.
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
И изяша вси людие усерязи златы, яже во ушесех жен их, и принесоша ко Аарону.
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!”
И взя от рук их и слия их делом литым, и сотвори им телца литаго. И рекоша: сии бози твои, Израилю, иже изведоша тя из земли Египетския.
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!”
И видев Аарон, созда олтарь прямо ему, и проповеда Аарон, глаголя: праздник Господнь утре.
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.
И обутреневав наутрие, вознесе всесожжения и принесе жертву спасения. И седоша людие ясти и пити и восташа играти.
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)!
И рече Господь к Моисею глаголя: иди скоро, сниди отсюду, беззаконноваша бо людие твои, ихже извел еси из земли Египетския:
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!’”
преступиша с пути скоро, егоже заповедал еси им: сотвориша себе телца, и поклонишася ему, и пожроша ему, и реша:
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
сии бози твои, Израилю, иже изведоша тя из земли Египетския:
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.”
и ныне остави Мя, и возярився гневом на ня, потреблю их, и сотворю тя в язык велик.
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]!
И помолися Моисей пред Господем Богом и рече: вскую, Господи, яришися гневом на люди Твоя, ихже извел еси из земли Египетския крепостию великою и мышцею Твоею высокою?
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]
Да не когда рекут Египтяне, глаголюще: с лукавством изведе их погубити в горах и потребити их от земли: утоли гнев ярости Твоея и милостив буди о злобе людий Твоих,
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.’”
помянув Авраама и Исаака и Иакова, Твоя рабы, имже клялся еси Собою, и рекл еси к ним, глаголя: зело умножу семя ваше, яко звезды небесныя множеством, и всю сию землю, юже рекл еси дати семени их, и обладают ею во веки.
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
И умилостивися Господь о зле, еже рече сотворити людем Своим.
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.
И возвратився Моисей, сниде с горы: и две скрижали свидения в руку его, скрижали каменны написаны от обою страну их, сюду и сюду быша написаны:
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
и скрижали дело Божие быша, и написание, написание Божие изваяно на скрижалех.
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!”
И услышав Иисус глас людий кричащих, рече к Моисею: глас ратный в полце.
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!”
И рече Моисей: несть глас начинающих одолевати, ниже глас начинающих бежати, но глас начинающих напиватися вином аз слышу.
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.
И егда приближашеся к полку, узре телца и лики: и возярився гневом Моисей, поверже из руку своею обе скрижали, и сокруши я под горою:
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.
и взем телца, егоже сотвориша, сожже его во огни и сотре его подробну, и разсыпа его по воде, и напои ею сыны Израилевы.
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?”
И рече Моисей Аарону: что сотвориша тебе людие сии, яко навел еси на них грех велик?
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
И рече Аарон к Моисею: не гневайся, господине: ты бо веси людий сих устремление.
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!’
Глаголаша бо ми: сотвори нам боги, иже пойдут пред нами: Моисей бо сей человек, иже изведе ны от Египта, не вемы, что бысть ему:
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!”
и рекох им: иже имать злато, измите: и изяша, и даша мне, и ввергох е во огнь, и излияся телец сей.
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.
Видев же Моисей люди, яко разделишася, раздели бо их Аарон в порадование супостатом их:
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.
ста же Моисей во вратех полка и рече: аще кто есть Господнь, да идет ко мне. Снидошася убо к нему вси сынове Левиины.
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.”
И рече им: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: препояшите кийждо свой мечь при бедре и пройдите, и возвратитеся от врат до врат сквозе полк, и убийте кийждо брата своего и кийждо ближняго своего и кийждо соседа своего.
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
И сотвориша сынове Левиины, якоже глагола им Моисей: и паде от людий в той день до трех тысящ мужей.
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.”
И рече им Моисей: наполнисте руки вашя днесь Господу, кийждо в сыне своем и в брате своем, да дастся на вас благословение.
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].”
И бысть на утрие, рече Моисей к людем: вы согрешисте грех велик: и ныне взыду к Богу, да умолю о гресе вашем.
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.
И возвратися Моисей ко Господу и рече: молюся ти, Господи: согрешиша людие сии грех велик и сотвориша себе боги златы:
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].”
и ныне, аще убо оставиши им грех их, остави: аще же ни, изглади мя из книги Твоея, в нюже вписал еси.
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
И рече Господь к Моисею: аще кто согреши предо Мною, изглажу его из книги Моея:
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.”
ныне же иди, сниди и возведи люди сия на место, еже рех тебе: се, Ангел Мой предидет пред лицем твоим: в оньже день присещу, наведу на них грех их.
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
И порази Господь люди за сотворение телца, егоже сотвори Аарон.
