< Exodus 32 >
1 Forsothe the puple siy, that Moises made tariyng to come doun fro the hil, and it was gaderid ayens Aaron, and seide, Rise thou, and make goddis to vs, that schulen go bifore vs, for we witen not what bifelde to this Moises, that ladde vs out of the lond of Egipt.
Watu walipoona kuwa Mose amekawia sana kushuka kutoka mlimani, walimkusanyikia Aroni na kumwambia, “Njoo, tutengenezee miungu itakayotutangulia. Kwa maana huyu jamaa yetu Mose aliyetupandisha kutoka Misri, hatujui jambo lililompata.”
2 And Aaron seide to hem, Take ye the goldun eere ryngis fro the eeris of youre wyues, and of sones and douytris, and brynge ye to me.
Aroni akawajibu, “Vueni vipuli vya dhahabu ambavyo wake zenu, wana wenu na binti zenu wamevaa, mkaniletee.”
3 The puple dide tho thingis, that he comaundide, and brouyte eere ryngis to Aaron;
Kwa hiyo watu wote wakavua vipuli vyao, wakavileta kwa Aroni.
4 and whanne he hadde take tho, he formede bi `werk of yetyng, and made of tho a yotun calf. And thei seiden, Israel, these ben thi goddis, that ladde thee out of the lond of Egipt.
Akavichukua vile vitu walivyomkabidhi, akavifanyiza kwa kusubu sanamu yenye umbo la ndama, akaichonga kwa kutumia chombo. Kisha wakasema, “Hii ndiyo miungu yenu, ee Israeli, iliyowapandisha kutoka Misri.”
5 And whanne Aaron had seyn this thing, he bildide an auter bifore hym, and he criede bi the vois of a criere, and seide, To morewe is the solempnete of the Lord.
Aroni alipoona hili, akajenga madhabahu mbele ya yule ndama na kutangaza, “Kesho kutakuwa na sikukuu kwa Bwana.”
6 And thei rysen eerli, and offeriden brent sacrifyces, and pesible sacrifices; and the puple sat to ete and drynke, and thei risen to pley.
Kwa hiyo siku iliyofuata watu wakaamka asubuhi na mapema na kutoa sadaka za kuteketeza na sadaka za amani. Baadaye watu wakaketi kula na kunywa, nao wakasimama, wakajizamisha katika sherehe.
7 Forsothe the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Go thou, go doun, thi puple hath synned, `whom thou leddist out of the lond of Egipt.
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Shuka, kwa sababu watu wako, uliowatoa Misri, wamepotoka.
8 Thei yeden awei soone fro the weie which thou schewidst to hem, and thei maden to hem a yotun calf, and worschipyden it, and thei offeriden sacrifices to it, and seiden, Israel, these ben thi goddis, that ledden thee out of the lond of Egipt.
Wamekuwa wepesi kugeuka na kuacha niliyowaamuru, na wamejitengenezea sanamu ya kuyeyusha yenye umbo la ndama. Wameisujudia na kuitolea dhabihu, nao wamesema, ‘Hii ndiyo miungu yenu, ee Israeli iliyokupandisha kutoka Misri.’”
9 And eft the Lord seide to Moises, Y se, that this puple is of hard nol;
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Nimeona watu hawa, nao ni watu wenye shingo ngumu.
10 suffre thou me, that my woodnesse be wrooth ayens hem, and that Y do awey hem; and Y schal make thee in to a greet folk.
Sasa niache ili hasira yangu ipate kuwaka dhidi yao, nami nipate kuwaangamiza. Kisha nitakufanya wewe kuwa taifa kubwa.”
11 Forsothe Moises preiede `his Lord God, and seide, Lord, whi is thi veniaunce wrooth ayens thi puple, whom thou leddist out of the lond of Egipt in greet strengthe and in stronge hond?
Lakini Mose akamsihi Bwana Mungu wake, akasema, “Ee Bwana, kwa nini hasira yako iwake dhidi ya watu wako, wale uliowatoa Misri kwa uweza mkuu na mkono wenye nguvu?
12 Y biseche, that Egipcians seie not, he ledde hem out felli, `that he schulde sle in the hillis, and to do awei fro erthe, thin ire ceesse, and be thou quemeful on the wickidnesse of thi puple.
Kwa nini Wamisri waseme, ‘Ni kwa nia mbaya aliwatoa Misri, ili awaue milimani na kuwafuta usoni mwa dunia’? Achilia mbali hasira yako kali, waonee huruma na usilete maafa juu ya watu wako.
13 Haue thou mynde of Abraham, of Ysaac, and of Israel, thi seruauntis, to whiche thou hast swore bi thi silf, and seidist, Y schal multiplie youre seed as the sterris of heuene, and Y schal yyue to youre seed al this lond of which Y spak, and ye schulen welde it euere.
Wakumbuke watumishi wako Abrahamu, Isaki na Israeli, ambao uliwaapia kwa nafsi yako mwenyewe: ‘Nitawafanya uzao wako kuwa wengi kama nyota za angani, nami nitawapa wazao wako nchi hii yote ambayo niliwaahidia, nayo itakuwa urithi wao milele.’”
14 And the Lord was plesid, that he dide not the yuel which he spak ayens his puple.
Kisha Bwana akawaonea huruma, wala hakuleta juu ya watu wake maafa aliyokuwa amekusudia.
15 And Moises turnede ayen fro the hil, and bar in his hond twei tablis of witnessyng, writun in euer either side,
Mose akageuka, akashuka kutoka mlimani akiwa na vibao viwili vya Ushuhuda mikononi mwake. Vilikuwa vimeandikwa pande zote mbili, mbele na nyuma.
16 and maad bi the werk of God; and the writyng of God was grauun in tablis.
Vibao hivyo vilikuwa kazi ya Mungu; maandishi yalikuwa mwandiko wa Mungu, yaliyochorwa kama muhuri juu ya vibao.
17 Forsothe Josue herde the noise of the puple criynge, and seide to Moyses, Yellyng of fiytyng is herd in the castels.
Yoshua aliposikia sauti za watu wakipiga kelele, akamwambia Mose, “Kuna sauti ya vita kambini.”
18 To whom Moises answeride, It is not cry of men exitynge to batel, nether the cry of men compellynge to fleyng, but Y here the vois of syngeris.
Mose akajibu: “Si sauti ya ushindi, wala si sauti ya kushindwa; ni sauti ya kuimba ninayosikia.”
19 And whanne he hadde neiyid to the castels, he siy the calf, and dauncis; and he was wrooth greetli, and `castide forth the tablis fro the hond, and brak tho at the rootis of the hil.
Mose alipoikaribia kambi na kuona yule ndama na ile michezo, hasira yake ikawaka, akatupa vile vibao vilivyokuwa mikononi mwake, akavipasua vipande vipande pale chini ya mlima.
20 And he took the calf, which thei hadden maad, and brente, and brak `til to poudur, which he spreynte in to watir, and yaf therof drynke to the sones of Israel.
Kisha akamchukua yule ndama waliokuwa wamemtengeneza na kumchoma kwenye moto, kisha akamsaga kuwa unga, akanyunyiza kwenye maji na kuwafanya Waisraeli wanywe.
21 And Moises seide to Aaron, What dide this puple to thee, that thou brouytist in on hym the gretteste synne?
Mose akamwambia Aroni, “Watu hawa walikufanyia nini, hata ukawaongoza kufanya dhambi kubwa hivyo?”
22 To whom he answeride, My lord, be not wrooth, for thou knowist this puple, that it is enclynaunt to yuel;
Aroni akamwambia, “Usikasirike bwana wangu. Unajua jinsi watu hawa walivyo tayari kwa maovu.
23 thei seiden to me, Make thou goddis to vs, that schulen go bifore vs, for we witen not, what bifelde to this Moises, that ladde vs out of the lond of Egipt.
Wao waliniambia, ‘Tufanyie miungu itakayotuongoza. Kwa kuwa huyu jamaa yetu Mose aliyetupandisha kutoka Misri, hatufahamu yaliyompata.’
24 To whiche Y seide, Who of you hath gold? Thei token, and yauen to me, and Y castide it forth in to the fier, and this calf yede out.
Kwa hiyo nikawaambia, ‘Yeyote aliye na kito chochote cha dhahabu avue.’ Kisha wakanipa hiyo dhahabu, nami nikaitupa motoni, akatokea huyu ndama!”
25 Therfor Moyses siy the puple, that it was maad bare; for Aaron hadde spuylid it for the schenschip of filthe, and hadde maad the puple nakid among enemyes.
Mose akaona kuwa watu wameasi, kwa kuwa Aroni alikuwa amewaacha waasi, na hivyo kuwa kichekesho kwa adui zao.
26 And Moises stood in the yate of the castels, and seide, If ony man is of the Lord, be he ioyned to me; and alle the sones of Leuy weren gaderid to hym.
Kwa hiyo Mose akasimama kwenye ingilio la kambi, akasema, “Yeyote aliye upande wa Bwana, aje upande wangu.” Walawi wote wakamjia.
27 To whiche he seide, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, A man putte swerd on his hipe, go ye, and `go ye ayen fro yate `til to yate bi the myddil of the castels, and ech man sle his brother, freend, and neiybore.
Ndipo alipowaambia, “Hili ndilo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli asemalo: ‘Kila mmoja wenu ajifunge upanga wake kiunoni aende huku na huko kambi yote mwisho hadi mwisho mwingine, kila mmoja amuue ndugu yake, na rafiki yake na jirani yake.’”
28 The sones of Leuy diden bi the word of Moises, and as thre and twenti thousynd of men felden doun in that day.
Walawi wakafanya kama Mose alivyoamuru, siku ile wakafa watu wapatao 3,000.
29 And Moises seide, Ye han halewid youre hondis to dai to the Lord, ech man in his sone, and brother, that blessyng be youun to you.
Kisha Mose akasema, “Leo mmewekwa wakfu kwa Bwana, kwa kuwa mlikuwa kinyume na wana wenu wenyewe na ndugu zenu, naye Mungu amewabariki leo.”
30 Sotheli whanne `the tother day was maad, Moises spak to the puple, Ye han synned the moost synne; Y schal stie to the Lord, if in ony maner Y schal mowe biseche hym for youre felony.
Siku iliyofuata Mose akawaambia watu, “Mmefanya dhambi kubwa. Lakini sasa nitapanda juu kwa Bwana, labda nitaweza kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya dhambi yenu.”
31 And he turnede ayen to the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, this puple hath synned a greet synne, and thei han maad goldun goddis to hem; ethir foryyue thou this gilt to hem,
Hivyo Mose akarudi kwa Bwana na kumwambia, “Lo! Hawa watu wamefanya dhambi kubwa namna gani! Wamejitengenezea miungu ya dhahabu.
32 ether if thou doist not, do awey me fro thi book, which thou hast write.
Lakini sasa nakusihi, wasamehe dhambi yao; lakini kama sivyo, basi nifute kutoka kwenye kitabu ulichoandika.”
33 To whom the Lord answeride, Y schal do awey fro my book hym that synneth ayens me;
Bwana akamjibu Mose, “Yeyote aliyenitenda dhambi ndiye nitakayemfuta kutoka kwenye kitabu changu.
34 forsothe go thou, and lede this puple, whydur Y spak to thee; myn aungel schal go bifore thee; forsothe in the day of veniaunce Y schal visite also this synne of hem.
Sasa nenda, uongoze hao watu mpaka mahali nilipokuambia, naye malaika wangu atakutangulia. Pamoja na hayo, wakati utakapofika wa mimi kuwaadhibu, nitawaadhibu kwa ajili ya dhambi yao.”
35 Therfor the Lord smoot the puple for the gilt of the calf, which calf Aaron made.
Ndipo Bwana akawapiga watu kwa ugonjwa wa tauni kwa sababu ya yale waliyoyafanya kwa ndama yule ambaye alitengenezwa na Aroni.
