Exodus 32
1 When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”
Anthu ataona kuti Mose akuchedwa kutsika mʼphiri, anasonkhana kwa Aaroni ndipo anati, “Bwera utipangire milungu imene idzititsogolera. Kunena za Mose amene anatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, sitikudziwa chimene chamuchitikira.”
2 Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”
Aaroni anawayankha kuti, “Vulani ndolo zagolide zimene avala akazi anu, ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo muzibweretse kwa ine.”
3 All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
Kotero anthu onse anavula ndolo zagolide ndi kubwera nazo kwa Aaroni.
4 He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
Choncho Aaroni analandira golideyo ndipo anamuwumba ndi chikombole ndi kupanga fano la mwana wangʼombe. Kenaka anthu aja anati, “Inu Aisraeli, nayu mulungu wanu amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.”
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh.”
Aaroni ataona izi, anamanga guwa lansembe patsogolo pa mwana wangʼombeyo ndipo analengeza kuti, “Mawa kudzakhala chikondwerero cha Yehova.”
6 They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
Kotero tsiku linalo anthu anadzuka mmamawa ndithu ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano. Atatha kupereka nsembezo, anthuwo anakhala pansi nayamba kudya ndi kumwa. Kenaka anayimirira nayamba kuvina mwachilendo.
7 Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tsika msanga, chifukwa anthu ako amene unawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto aja adziyipitsa kwambiri.
8 They have turned away quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
Iwo apatuka mwamsanga kuleka kutsatira zimene ndinawalamula. Ndiye adzipangira fano la mwana wangʼombe. Aligwadira ndi kuliperekera nsembe nʼkumati, ‘Inu Aisraeli, nayu mulungu wanu amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.’”
9 Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ine ndikuwadziwa anthu amenewa. Iwowa ndi ankhutukumve.
10 Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
Chifukwa chake undileke kuti mkwiyo wanga uyake pa iwo ndi kuwawononga. Ndipo Ine ndidzakusandutsa kuti ukhale mtundu waukulu.”
11 Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Koma Mose anapempha chifundo cha Mulungu wake ndipo anati, “Chonde Yehova, chifukwa chiyani mwakwiyira anthu awa amene munawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndi mphamvu yanu yayikulu ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu.
12 Why should the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath, and turn away from this evil against your people.
Kodi mukufuna kuti Aigupto azinena kuti, ‘Munali ndi cholinga choyipa chofuna kuwaphera ku mapiri kuno ndi kuwawonongeratu pa dziko lapansi pamene munkawatulutsa ku Igupto kuja?’ Ayi, chonde mkwiyo wanu woyaka ngati motowu ubwezeni ndipo sinthani maganizo ofunira zoyipa anthu anu.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
Kumbukirani atumiki anu, Abrahamu, Isake, Israeli ndi zija munawalonjeza polumbira pa dzina lanu kuti, ‘Ine ndidzachulukitsa zidzukulu zanu ndipo zidzakhala zambiri ngati nyenyezi zakumwamba. Zidzukulu zanuzo ndidzazipatsa dziko lonseli limene ndinalonjeza. Dziko limeneli lidzakhala lawo nthawi zonse.’”
14 So Yahweh turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.
Choncho Yehova analeka ndipo sanawachitire choyipa anthu ake monga anaopsezera.
15 Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.
Mose anatembenuka ndi kutsika phiri miyala iwiri ya pangano ili mʼmanja mwake. Miyalayi inalembedwa mbali zonse, kutsogolo ndi kumbuyo komwe.
16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
Miyalayi anayikonza ndi Mulungu. Malembawo analemba ndi Mulungu mozokota pa miyalapo.
17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
Pamene Yoswa anamva phokoso la anthu anati kwa Mose, “Ku msasa kuli phokoso la nkhondo.”
18 He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”
Mose anayankha kuti, “Phokoso limeneli sindikulimva ngati phokoso la opambana nkhondo, kapena kulira kwa ongonjetsedwa pa nkhondo. Koma ndikulimva ngati phokoso la anthu amene akuyimba.”
19 As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
Mose atayandikira msasa ndi kuona mwana wangʼombe ndiponso kuvina, anakwiya kwambiri ndipo anaponya pansi miyala imene inali mʼmanja mwake, ndi kuyiphwanya pa tsinde la phiri.
20 He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
Ndipo iye anatenga mwana wangʼombe amene anthu anapanga uja ndi kumuwotcha pa moto ndi kumuperapera ndikukhala ngati fumbi. Kenaka anawaza fumbilo mʼmadzi ndi kuwamwetsa Aisraeli madziwo.
21 Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”
Tsono Mose anafunsa Aaroni kuti, “Kodi anthu awa anakuchita chiyani kuti uwachimwitse koopsa chotere?”
22 Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
Aaroni anayankha kuti, “Musakwiye mbuye wanga. Inu mukudziwa kuti anthu awa ndi ovuta.
23 For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
Iwo anati kwa ine, ‘Bwera utipangire milungu imene idzititsogolera. Kunena za Mose amene anatitulutsa ife mʼdziko la Igupto, sitikudziwa chimene chamuchitikira.’
24 I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.’ So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
Choncho ine ndinawawuza kuti, ‘Aliyense amene ali ndi zokometsera zagolide azivule.’ Choncho iwo anandipatsa golide, ndipo ndinamuponya pa moto ndi kupanga fano la mwana wangʼombeyu.”
25 When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision among their enemies),
Mose anaona kuti anthuwo anali osokonezekadi chifukwa Aaroni anawalekerera mpaka kusanduka anthu osekedwa pakati pa adani awo.
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
Choncho iye anayima pa chipata cholowera mu msasa ndipo anati, “Aliyense amene ali mbali ya Yehova abwere kwa ine.” Ndipo Alevi onse anapita mbali yake.
27 He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”
Ndipo iye anawawuza kuti, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akunena, ‘Pitani ku misasa konse, mulowe ku zipata zonse ndipo aliyense akaphe mʼbale wake, kapena mnzake kapena mnansi wake.’”
28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people that day.
Alevi anachita zomwe Mose analamula, ndipo tsiku limenelo panafa anthu pafupifupi 3,000.
29 Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today.”
Kenaka Mose anati, “Lero mwadzipatula nokha kukhala ansembe otumikira Yehova. Mwachita izi popeza aliyense wa inu wapha mwana wake kapena mʼbale wake. Tsono lero Yehova wakudalitsani.”
30 On the next day, Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”
Mmawa mwake Mose anati kwa anthu onse, “Inu mwachita tchimo lalikulu. Koma tsopano ine ndipita ku phiri kwa Yehova mwina ndikatha kukupepeserani chifukwa cha tchimo lanu.”
31 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
Kotero Mose anabwereranso kwa Yehova ndipo anati, “Aa! Anthu awa achita tchimo lalikulu! Iwo adzipangira milungu yagolide.
32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
Koma tsopano, chonde akhululukireni tchimo lawo. Ngati simutero, ndiye mundifute ine mʼbuku limene mwalemba.”
33 Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book.
Yehova anamuyankha Mose kuti, “Ndidzafuta mʼbuku aliyense amene wandichimwira.
34 Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
Tsopano pita ukawatsogolere anthu kumalo kumene ine ndinanena, ndipo mngelo wanga adzakutsogolerani. Komabe, nthawi yanga ikadzafika kuti ndiwalange, ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha tchimo lawo.”
35 Yahweh struck the people, because of what they did with the calf, which Aaron made.
Ndipo Yehova anawakantha anthuwo ndi mliri chifukwa anawumiriza Aaroni kuti awapangire fano la mwana wangʼombe.
