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!”
Halk Musa'nın dağdan inmediğini, geciktiğini görünce, Harun'un çevresine toplandı. Ona, “Kalk, bize öncülük edecek bir ilah yap” dediler, “Bizi Mısır'dan çıkaran adama, Musa'ya ne oldu bilmiyoruz!”
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, “Karılarınızın, oğullarınızın, kızlarınızın kulağındaki altın küpeleri çıkarıp bana getirin” dedi.
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Herkes kulağındaki küpeyi çıkarıp Harun'a getirdi.
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!”
Harun altınları topladı, oymacı aletiyle buzağı biçiminde dökme bir put yaptı. Halk, “Ey İsrailliler, sizi Mısır'dan çıkaran Tanrınız budur!” dedi.
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!”
Harun bunu görünce, buzağının önünde bir sunak yaptı ve, “Yarın RAB'bin onuruna bayram olacak” diye ilan etti.
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.
Ertesi gün halk erkenden kalkıp yakmalık sunular sundu, esenlik sunuları getirdi. Yiyip içmeye oturdu, sonra kalkıp çılgınca eğlendi.
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)!
RAB Musa'ya, “Aşağı in” dedi, “Mısır'dan çıkardığın halkın baştan çıktı.
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!’”
Buyurduğum yoldan hemen saptılar. Kendilerine dökme bir buzağı yaparak önünde tapındılar, kurban kestiler. ‘Ey İsrailliler, sizi Mısır'dan çıkaran ilahınız budur!’ dediler.”
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
RAB Musa'ya, “Bu halkın ne inatçı olduğunu biliyorum” dedi,
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.”
“Şimdi bana engel olma, bırak öfkem alevlensin, onları yok edeyim. Sonra seni büyük bir ulus yapacağım.”
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]!
Musa Tanrısı RAB'be yalvardı: “Ya RAB, niçin kendi halkına karşı öfken alevlensin? Onları Mısır'dan büyük kudretinle, güçlü elinle çıkardın.
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]
Neden Mısırlılar, ‘Tanrı kötü amaçla, dağlarda öldürmek, yeryüzünden silmek için onları Mısır'dan çıkardı’ desinler? Öfkelenme, vazgeç halkına yapacağın kötülükten.
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.’”
Kulların İbrahim'i, İshak'ı, İsrail'i anımsa. Onlara kendi üzerine ant içtin, ‘Soyunuzu gökteki yıldızlar kadar çoğaltacağım. Söz verdiğim bu ülkenin tümünü soyunuza vereceğim. Sonsuza dek onlara miras olacak’ dedin.”
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
Böylece RAB halkına yapacağını söylediği kötülükten vazgeçti.
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 döndü, elinde antlaşma koşulları yazılı iki taş levhayla dağdan indi. Levhaların ön ve arka iki yüzü de yazılıydı.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
Onları Tanrı yapmıştı, üzerlerindeki oyma yazılar O'nun yazısıydı.
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!”
Yeşu, bağrışan halkın sesini duyunca, Musa'ya, “Ordugahtan savaş sesi geliyor!” dedi.
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!”
Musa şöyle yanıtladı: “Ne yenenlerin, Ne de yenilenlerin sesidir bu; Ezgiler duyuyorum ben.”
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.
Musa ordugaha yaklaşınca, buzağıyı ve oynayan insanları gördü; çok öfkelendi. Elindeki taş levhaları fırlatıp dağın eteğinde parçaladı.
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.
Yaptıkları buzağıyı alıp yaktı, toz haline gelinceye dek ezdi, sonra suya serperek İsrailliler'e içirdi.
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?”
Harun'a, “Bu halk sana ne yaptı ki, onları bu korkunç günaha sürükledin?” dedi.
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
Harun, “Öfkelenme, efendim!” diye karşılık verdi, “Bilirsin, halk kötülüğe eğilimlidir.
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!’
Bana, ‘Bize öncülük edecek bir ilah yap. Bizi Mısır'dan çıkaran adama, Musa'ya ne oldu bilmiyoruz’ dediler.
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!”
Ben de, ‘Kimde altın varsa çıkarsın’ dedim. Altınlarını bana verdiler. Ateşe atınca, bu buzağı ortaya çıktı!”
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 halkın başıboş hale geldiğini gördü. Çünkü Harun onları dizginlememiş, düşmanlarına alay konusu olmalarına neden olmuştu.
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.
Musa ordugahın girişinde durdu, “RAB'den yana olanlar yanıma gelsin!” dedi. Bütün Levililer çevresine toplandı.
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.”
Musa şöyle dedi: “İsrail'in Tanrısı RAB diyor ki, ‘Herkes kılıcını kuşansın. Ordugahta kapı kapı dolaşarak kardeşini, komşusunu, yakınını öldürsün.’”
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
Levililer Musa'nın buyruğunu yerine getirdiler. O gün halktan üç bine yakın adam öldürüldü.
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.”
Musa, “Bugün kendinizi RAB'be adamış oldunuz” dedi, “Herkes öz oğluna, öz kardeşine düşman kesildiği için bugün RAB sizi kutsadı.”
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].”
Ertesi gün halka, “Korkunç bir günah işlediniz” dedi, “Şimdi RAB'bin huzuruna çıkacağım. Belki günahınızı bağışlatabilirim.”
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.
Sonra RAB'be dönerek, “Çok yazık, bu halk korkunç bir günah işledi” dedi, “Kendilerine altın put yaptılar.
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].”
Lütfen günahlarını bağışla, yoksa yazdığın kitaptan adımı sil.”
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
RAB, “Kim bana karşı günah işlediyse onun adını sileceğim” diye karşılık verdi,
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.”
“Şimdi git, halkı sana söylediğim yere götür. Meleğim sana öncülük edecek. Ama zamanı gelince günahlarından ötürü onları cezalandıracağım.”
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
RAB halkı cezalandırdı. Çünkü Harun'a buzağı yaptırmışlardı.
