Thaama 32
1 Rĩrĩa andũ moonire atĩ Musa nĩaikarire mũno ataikũrũkĩte kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, magĩcookanĩrĩra harĩ Harũni makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, tũthondekere ngai iria irĩtũtongoragia. Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũyũ ũgwĩtwo Musa, ũrĩa watũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, tũtiũĩ ũrĩa oonete.”
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what is become of him.
2 Harũni akĩmacookeria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rutai icũhĩ cia thahabu iria irĩ matũ ma atumia anyu, na aanake na airĩtu anyu mũndehere.”
And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makĩruta icũhĩ cia thahabu icio ciarĩ matũ-inĩ mao magĩcirehere Harũni.
And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Nake akĩoya indo iria maamũreheire, agĩcitwekia agĩtũmĩra indo cia ũbundi gũcithondeka mũhianano wa njaũ. Nao andũ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ici nĩcio ngai ciaku, wee Isiraeli, iria ciakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.”
And he received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
5 Rĩrĩa Harũni onire ũguo, agĩaka kĩgongona mbere ya njaũ ĩyo, na akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũciũ nĩgũgakorwo na gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova.”
And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ andũ magĩũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, makĩruta magongona ma njino na ma ũiguano. Thuutha ũcio magĩikara thĩ kũrĩa na kũnyua, magĩcooka magĩũkĩra kũina na gwĩkenia.
And having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt offerings, and offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka, tondũ andũ aku arĩa warutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmethũkĩtie.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed;
8 Nĩmagarũrũkĩte narua magatiga ũrĩa ndaamathĩte, na nĩmethondekeire mũhianano wa gũtwekio ũhaana njaũ. Nĩmaũinamĩrĩire na makaũrutĩra iruta makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ici nĩcio ngai ciaku, wee Isiraeli, iria ciakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.’”
they have quickly gone out of the way which you commanded; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said,
9 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete andũ aya, nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo.
These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
10 Rĩu tigana na niĩ nĩgeetha marakara makwa mamarĩrĩmbũkĩre, nĩgeetha ndĩmaniine. Nĩngacooka ngũtue rũrĩrĩ rũnene.”
And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make you a great nation.
11 No Musa agĩthaitha Jehova Ngai wake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, ũngĩcinwo nĩ marakara ũũkĩrĩre andũ aku nĩkĩ, o arĩa warutire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko gwaku kũrĩ ũhoti na ũkĩmaruta kuo na hinya mũnene?
And Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Therefore, O Lord, are you very angry with your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great strength, and with your high arm?
12 Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma andũ a Misiri moige atĩrĩ, ‘Aamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri arĩ na muoroto wa kũmeka ũũru amooragĩre irĩma-inĩ, na amaniine mathire gũkũ thĩ’? Tiga kũrakara mũno; wĩricũkwo ndũkarehere andũ aku mwanangĩko.
[Take heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he brought them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from off the earth; cease from your wrathful anger, and be merciful to the sin of your people,
13 Ririkana ndungata ciaku Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Isiraeli, arĩa wee wehĩtire kũrĩ o na mwĩhĩtwa ũkĩĩgwetaga, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngatũma njiaro ciaku cingĩhe ta njata cia matu-inĩ, na nĩngaahe njiaro ciaku bũrũri ũyũ wothe ũrĩa ndaamerĩire, naguo ũgaatuĩka igai rĩao nginya tene.’”
remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob your servants, to whom you have sworn by yourself, and have spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which you spoke of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩricũkwo, na ndaigana kũrehere andũ ake mwanangĩko ũrĩa oigĩte atĩ nĩekũmarehera.
And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
15 Musa akĩhũndũka, agĩikũrũka kuuma kĩrĩma igũrũ akuuĩte ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia Ũira na moko make. Ciarĩ nyandĩke mĩena yeerĩ, mbere na thuutha.
And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their sides: they were written within and without.
16 Ihengere icio ciarĩ wĩra wa Ngai; maandĩko macio maarĩ maandĩko ma Ngai makururĩtwo ihengere-inĩ icio.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
17 Rĩrĩa Joshua aiguire inegene rĩa andũ makiugĩrĩria akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara kambĩ-inĩ.”
And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti mĩgambo ya ũhootani, na ti mĩgambo ya kũhootwo; nĩ mĩgambo ya kũina ndĩraigua.”
And [Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear.
19 Rĩrĩa Musa akuhĩrĩirie kambĩ, na akĩona njaũ na ndũrũhĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ kũndũ kũu, agĩcinwo nĩ marakara, nake agĩikia ihengere icio thĩ, ikiunĩkanga icunjĩ o hau magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩrĩma.
And when he drew near to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain.
20 Nake akĩnyiita njaũ ĩyo maathondekete, akĩmĩcina na mwaki, agĩcooka akĩmĩthĩa, ĩgĩtuĩka mũtu, akĩũikia maaĩ-inĩ na agĩatha andũ a Isiraeli manyue maaĩ macio.
And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it.
21 Nake Musa akĩũria Harũni atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya maragwĩkire atĩa nĩgeetha ũmatoonyie mehia-inĩ manene ũũ?”
And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to you, that you have brought upon them a great sin?
22 Nake Harũni akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũrakara, mwathi wakwa; wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa andũ aya mendete gwĩka ũũru.
And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for you know the impetuosity of this people.
23 Maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Tũthondekere ngai iria irĩtũtongoragia. Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũyũ ũgwĩtwo Musa, ũrĩa watũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ, tũtiũĩ ũrĩa oonire.’
For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ na mathaga ma thahabu, nĩarute.’ Nao makĩĩnengera indo icio cia thahabu, ngĩciikia riiko, nacio ikiuma njaũ ĩno!”
And I said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 Musa akĩona atĩ andũ nĩmakararĩtie, na atĩ Harũni nĩamarekereirie meke ũrĩa mekwenda, nginya magaatuĩka andũ a gũthekagĩrĩrwo nĩ thũ ciao.
And when Moses saw that the people was scattered, —for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies, —
26 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩrũgama itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kambĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ mwena wa Jehova-rĩ, nĩoke haha.” Nao Alawii othe makĩrũgama mwena wake.
then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.
27 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘O mũndũ nĩeyohe rũhiũ rwa njora njohero. Hungurai kambĩ ĩno kuuma mwena ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ, o mũndũ nĩoorage mũrũ wa nyina na oorage mũratawe na mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake.’”
And he says to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and kill every one his brother, and every one his neighbour, and every one him that is nearest to him.
28 Alawii magĩĩka ta ũrĩa maathirwo nĩ Musa, na mũthenya ũcio gũkĩũragwo andũ ta 3,000.
And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men.
29 Nake Musa akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwarĩkia kwamũrĩrwo Jehova ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmwareganire na ariũ anyu na mũkĩregana na arĩa mũciaranĩirwo nao, na Jehova nĩamũrathima ũmũthĩ.”
And Moses said to them, You have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you.
30 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Musa akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwĩhĩtie mũno. No rĩu, nĩngwambata kũrĩ Jehova; hihi no kũhoteke ndĩmũrutĩre horohio nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia rĩanyu.”
And it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin.
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩcooka kũrĩ Jehova, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, kaĩ andũ aya nĩmekĩte rĩhia inene-ĩ! Nĩmethondekeire ngai cia thahabu.
And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods.
32 No rĩu-rĩ, ndagũthaitha marekere mehia mao; angĩkorwo ndũkũmarekera, o na niĩ tharia ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa wandĩkĩte andũ aku.”
And now if you will forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of your book, which you have written.
33 Nake Jehova agĩcookeria Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩhĩirie, nĩngamũtharia ibuku-inĩ rĩakwa.
And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book.
34 Rĩu gĩthiĩ, ũtongorie andũ acio mathiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ndaaririe ũhoro waguo, nake mũraika wakwa nĩakamũtongoria. Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũmaherithia yakinya-rĩ, no ngaamaherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao.”
And now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to you: behold, my angel shall go before your face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin.
35 Nake Jehova akĩhũũra andũ acio na mũthiro nĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa meekire na njaũ ĩyo yathondeketwo nĩ Harũni.
And the Lord struck the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
