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 mount, the people assembled themselves to Aaron, and said to him, Arise, make us gods which shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not 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 said to them, Break off the golden ear-rings which [are] in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your 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 broke off the golden ear-rings which [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 hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee 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 when Aaron saw [it], he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow [is] a feast to 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 they rose early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings: and the people sat down to eat and to 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 said to Moses, Go, go down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted [themselves]:
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 turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
9 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete andũ aya, nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo.
And the LORD said to Moses, I have seen this people, and behold it [is] a stiff-necked people:
10 Rĩu tigana na niĩ nĩgeetha marakara makwa mamarĩrĩmbũkĩre, nĩgeetha ndĩmaniine. Nĩngacooka ngũtue rũrĩrĩ rũnene.”
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee 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 besought the LORD his God, and said, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth from the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
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.
Why should the Egyptians speak and say, For evil did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy 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.’”
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit [it] for ever.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩricũkwo, na ndaigana kũrehere andũ ake mwanangĩko ũrĩa oigĩte atĩ nĩekũmarehera.
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to 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 mount, and the two tables of the testimony [were] in his hand: the tables [were] written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other [were] they written.
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 [was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
17 Rĩrĩa Joshua aiguire inegene rĩa andũ makiugĩrĩria akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara kambĩ-inĩ.”
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said 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 he said, [It is] not the voice of [them that] shout for mastery, neither [is it] the voice of [them that] cry for being overcome: [but] the noise of [them that] sing 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 it came to pass as soon as he came nigh to the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses's anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables from his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
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 he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in the fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strewed [it] upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink [of it].
21 Nake Musa akĩũria Harũni atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya maragwĩkire atĩa nĩgeetha ũmatoonyie mehia-inĩ manene ũũ?”
And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 Nake Harũni akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũrakara, mwathi wakwa; wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa andũ aya mendete gwĩka ũũru.
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people that they [are set] on mischief.
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 said to me, Make us gods which shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not 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, Whoever hath any gold, let them break [it] off: So they gave [it] to me: then I cast it 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 [were] naked (for Aaron had made them naked to [their] shame, among 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 Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the LORD'S side? [let him come] to me. And all the sons of Levi assembled themselves 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 said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
28 Alawii magĩĩka ta ũrĩa maathirwo nĩ Musa, na mũthenya ũcio gũkĩũragwo andũ ta 3,000.
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about 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.”
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
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 on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to the LORD; it may be I shall make an 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, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 No rĩu-rĩ, ndagũthaitha marekere mehia mao; angĩkorwo ndũkũmarekera, o na niĩ tharia ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa wandĩkĩte andũ aku.”
Yet now, if thou wilt, forgive their sin: and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 Nake Jehova agĩcookeria Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩhĩirie, nĩngamũtharia ibuku-inĩ rĩakwa.
And the LORD said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot 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.”
Therefore now go, lead the people to [the place] of which I have spoken to thee: Behold, my angel shall go before thee: Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.
35 Nake Jehova akĩhũũra andũ acio na mũthiro nĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa meekire na njaũ ĩyo yathondeketwo nĩ Harũni.
And the LORD afflicted the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.
