< 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!”
At nang makita ng bayan na nagluluwat si Moises ng pagpanaog sa bundok, ay nagpipisan ang bayan kay Aaron, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Tumindig ka at igawa mo kami ng mga dios na mangunguna sa amin; sapagka't tungkol sa Moises na ito, na lalaking nagsampa sa amin mula sa lupain ng Egipto, ay hindi namin maalaman kung anong nangyari sa kaniya.
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.”
At sinabi ni Aaron sa kanila, Alisin ninyo ang mga hikaw na ginto, na nasa tainga ng inyo-inyong asawa, ng inyong mga anak na lalake, at babae, at dalhin ninyo sa akin.
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
At inalis ng buong bayan ang mga hikaw na ginto na nangasa kanilang mga tainga, at dinala kay 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!”
At kaniyang tinanggap sa kanilang kamay, at niyari sa pamamagitan ng isang buril, at ginawang isang guyang binubo, at kanilang sinabi, Ang mga ito ang maging iyong mga dios, Oh Israel, na nagsampa sa iyo mula sa lupain ng Egipto.
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!”
At nang makita ito ni Aaron, ay nagtayo siya ng isang dambana sa harapan niyaon: at itinanyag ni Aaron at sinabi, Bukas ay pista sa Panginoon.
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.
At sila'y bumangong maaga nang kinabukasan, at naghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, at nagdala ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan; at ang bayan ay umupong kumain at uminom, at tumindig upang magkatuwa.
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)!
At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, Yumaon ka, bumaba ka, sapagka't ang iyong bayan, na iyong isinampa mula sa lupain ng Egipto ay nangagsisama:
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!’”
Sila'y humiwalay na madali sa daan na aking iniutos sa kanila: sila'y gumawa ng isang guyang binubo, at kanilang sinamba, at kanilang hinainan, at kanilang sinabi, Ang mga ito'y iyong maging mga dios, Oh Israel, na nagsampa sa iyo mula sa lupain ng Egipto.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Aking nakita ang bayang ito, at, narito, isang bayang may matigas na ulo;
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.”
Ngayo'y bayaan mo nga ako upang ang aking pagiinit ay magalab laban sa kanila, at upang aking lipulin sila: at ikaw ay aking gagawing dakilang bansa.
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]!
At dumalangin si Moises sa Panginoon niyang Dios, at sinabi, Panginoon, bakit ang iyong pagiinit ay pinapagaalab mo laban sa iyong bayan, na iyong inilabas sa lupain ng Egipto sa pamamagitan ng dakilang kapangyarihan at ng makapangyarihang kamay?
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]
Bakit sasalitain ng mga Egipcio, na sasabihin, Dahil sa kasamaan, inilabas sila upang patayin sila sa mga bundok, at upang lipulin sila sa balat ng lupa? Iurong mo ang iyong mabangis na pagiinit, at pagsisihan mo ang kasamaang ito laban sa iyong bayan.
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.’”
Alalahanin mo si Abraham, si Isaac, at si Israel na iyong mga lingkod, na silang iyong mga sinumpaan sa iyong sarili, at mga pinagsabihan, Aking pararamihin ang inyong binhi na gaya ng mga bituin sa langit, at lahat ng lupaing ito na aking sinalita ay aking ibibigay sa inyong binhi, at kanilang mamanahin magpakailan man.
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
At pinagsisihan ng Panginoon ang kasamaan na kaniyang sinabing kaniyang gagawin sa kaniyang bayan.
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.
At si Moises ay pumihit, at bumaba sa bundok, na dala ang dalawang tapyas ng patotoo sa kaniyang kamay; mga tapyas na may sulat sa dalawang mukha niyaon; sa isang mukha at sa kabilang mukha ay may sulat.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
At ang mga tapyas ay gawa ng Dios, at ang sulat ay sulat ng Dios, na nakaukit sa mga tapyas.
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!”
At ng marinig ni Josue ang ingay ng bayan na humihiyaw, ay sinabi kay Moises, May ingay ng pagbabaka sa kampamento.
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!”
At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ingay ng pagtatagumpay, o ingay man ng pagkatalo, kundi ingay ng mga umaawit ang aking naririnig.
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.
At nangyari paglapit niya sa kampamento, na kaniyang nakita ang guya at ang sayawan; at ang galit ni Moises ay naginit at kaniyang inihagis ang mga tapyas na nasa kaniyang mga kamay at nangasira sa paanan ng bundok.
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.
At kaniyang kinuha ang guya na kanilang ginawa, at sinunog ng apoy, at giniling hanggang sa naging alabok, at isinaboy sa ibabaw ng tubig, at ipinainom sa mga anak ni Israel.
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?”
At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, Anong ginawa ng bayang ito sa iyo, na dinalhan mo sila ng isang malaking sala?
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
At sinabi ni Aaron, Huwag maginit ang galit ng aking panginoon: iyong kilala ang bayan, na sila'y mahilig sa kasamaan.
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!’
Sapagka't kanilang sinabi sa akin, Igawa mo kami ng mga dios na mangunguna sa amin: sapagka't tungkol sa Moises na ito, na lalaking nagsampa sa amin mula sa lupain ng Egipto ay hindi namin maalaman kung anong nangyari sa kaniya.
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!”
At aking sinabi sa kanila, Sinomang may ginto, ay magalis; na anopa't kanilang ibinigay sa akin: at aking inihagis sa apoy at lumabas ang guyang ito.
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.
At nang makita ni Moises na ang bayan ay nakakawala; sapagka't pinabayaan ni Aarong makawala ng maging isang kabiruan sa gitna ng kanilang mga kaaway:
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.
Ay tumayo nga si Moises sa pintuang-daan ng kampamento, at nagsabi, Sinomang sa Panginoon ang kiling ay lumapit sa akin. At lahat ng mga anak ni Levi ay nagpipisan sa kaniya.
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.”
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel: Ipatong ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang tabak sa kaniyang hita, at yumaon kayong paroo't parito sa mga pintuang-daan, sa buong kampamento, at patayin ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kapatid na lalake, at ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kasama, at ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kapuwa.
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
At ginawa ng mga anak ni Levi ang ayon sa salita ni Moises: at nabuwal sa bayan ng araw na yaon, ang may tatlong libong katao.
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.”
At sinabi ni Moises, Italaga ninyo ang inyong sarili ngayon sa Panginoon, oo, bawa't lalake laban sa kaniyang anak na lalake, at laban sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake, upang kaniyang ipagkaloob sa inyo ang pagpapala sa araw na ito.
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].”
At nangyari ng kinabukasan, na sinabi ni Moises sa bayan, Kayo'y nagkasala ng malaking kasalanan: at ngayo'y sasampahin ko ang Panginoon; marahil ay aking matutubos ang inyong kasalanan.
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.
At bumalik si Moises sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Oh, ang bayang ito'y nagkasala ng malaking kasalanan, at gumawa sila ng mga dios na ginto.
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].”
Gayon ma'y ngayon, kung iyong ipatatawad ang kanilang kasalanan; at kung hindi, ay alisin mo ako, isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa iyong aklat na sinulat mo.
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Ang magkasala laban sa akin ay siya kong aalisin sa aking aklat.
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.”
At ngayo'y yumaon ka, iyong patnubayan ang bayan sa dakong aking sinalita sa iyo: narito, ang aking anghel ay magpapauna sa iyo: gayon ma'y sa araw na aking dalawin sila ay aking dadalawin ang kanilang kasalanang ipinagkasala nila.
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
At sinaktan nga ng Panginoon ang bayan, sapagka't kanilang ginawa ang guya na ginawa ni Aaron.
