Egzòd 32
1 Lè pèp la wè Moyiz te rete lontan sou mòn lan san li pa desann, yo sanble bò kote Arawon, yo di l' konsa: -Ann debouye nou fè lòt bondye ki pou mache devan nou, paske nonm yo rele Moyiz la ki te fè nou moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, nou pa konn sa ki rive l'.
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 Arawon di yo: -Wete tout zanno lò ki nan zòrèy madanm nou yo ak nan zòrèy pitit fi ak pitit gason nou yo, pote yo ban mwen.
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 Konsa, tout pèp la wete zanno lò yo te gen nan zòrèy yo, yo pote yo bay Arawon.
And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Arawon pran zanno yo, li fonn yo, li koule lò a nan yon moul, li fè estati yon ti towo bèf. Pèp la di: -Pèp Izrayèl, men bondye nou an. Se li ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
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 Lè Arawon wè sa, li bati yon lòtèl devan estati ti towo bèf la, epi li di yo: -Denmen m'ap fè yon gwo fèt pou Seyè a.
And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
6 Nan denmen maten yo leve byen bonè, yo touye bèt, yo boule yo nèt ofri bay Seyè a. Yo touye lòt bèt tou pou di l' mèsi. Apre sa, pèp la chita, yo manje, yo bwè. Lèfini, yo leve pou yo pran plezi yo.
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 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ale non, ou mèt desann. Paske pèp ou a, pèp ou te fè moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, gen tan deraye, yo lage tèt yo nan bwa.
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 Yo gen tan kite chemen mwen te mande yo swiv la. Yo pran lò, yo fonn li, yo fè estati yon ti towo bèf, yo tonbe fè sèvis pou li, yo touye bèt ofri ba li, epi yo di: Pèp Izrayèl, men bondye nou an. Se li ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
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 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Mwen wè pèp sa a se yon pèp ki gen tèt di.
These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
10 Bon, koulye a kite m' al regle ak yo. Mwen pral fè yo konnen lè m' an kòlè, m'ap detwi yo, m'ap boule yo. Men, ou menm, m'ap fè ou vin yon gwo nasyon.
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 Moyiz kriye nan pye Seyè a, Bondye l' a, li di l': -Seyè, poukisa pou ou ta koute kòlè ou pou ou fache sou pèp ki pou ou a, pèp ou menm menm te fè moute soti kite Lejip avèk gwo pouvwa ou, avèk fòs ponyèt ou?
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 Atò, sa pou moun peyi Lejip yo di? y'a di: Ala Bondye malveyan! Li fè yo soti kite Lejip pou l' te ka touye yo nan mòn yo, pou l' te ka disparèt yo sou latè. Seyè, pa koute kòlè ou! Chanje lide. Pa fè malè sèk sa a tonbe sou pèp ou a.
[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 Chonje sèvitè ou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Izrayèl. Chonje pwomès ou te fè yo. Ou te fè sèman sou tèt ou, ou te di yo: M'ap ban nou pitit pitit an kantite, y'ap tankou zetwal nan syèl la. M'ap bay pitit pitit nou yo tout peyi mwen te di m'ap ban nou an, pou peyi a rele yo chèmèt pou tout tan.
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 Lè sa a, Seyè a chanje lide, li pa voye malè sèk li te fè lide voye sou pèp la ankò.
And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
15 Moyiz pran chemen pou l' tounen. Li desann soti nan mòn lan avèk de ròch plat kontra a nan men l'. Ròch yo te ekri sou tout kò yo, devan kou dèyè.
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 Se Bondye menm ki te travay ròch plat sa yo. Se li menm tou ki te ekri sou yo ak pròp men li. Se li ki te grave tout lèt ki ekri sou ròch yo.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
17 Jozye te tande pèp la ki t'ap rele byen fò anba a. Li di Moyiz: -Pou tout bri mwen tande a, gen gwo goumen nan kan an!
And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 Men Moyiz reponn li: -Non! Non! Kalite chante sa a, se pa chante moun ki genyen yon batay ni chante moun ki pèdi batay. Se de gwoup moun k'ap chante: yonn ap reponn lòt.
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 Lè Moyiz rive toupre kan an, li wè estati ti towo bèf la ak moun yo ki t'ap danse. Moyiz fè yon sèl kòlè, li voye ròch plat ki te nan men l' yo jete. Yo tonbe, y al kraze an miyèt moso anba pye mòn lan.
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 Li pran estati ti towo bèf yo te fè a, li boule l', li kraze l', li fè l' tounen pousyè. Li simen pousyè a nan dlo. Lèfini, li fè moun Izrayèl yo bwè dlo a.
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 Apre sa li di Arawon: -Kisa moun sa yo fè ou menm pou ou kite yo fè kalite gwo peche sa a?
And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to you, that you have brought upon them a great sin?
22 Arawon reponn li: -Mèt, tanpri, pa fache sou mwen! Ou menm, ou konnen jan pèp sa a toujou pare pou fè sa ki mal.
And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for you know the impetuosity of this people.
23 Se yo menm ki di m' fè bondye pou yo, bondye ki pou mache devan yo, paske yo pa konnen sa ki rive Moyiz, nonm sa a ki te fè yo soti kite Lejip la.
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 Lè sa a, mwen mande kilès nan mitan yo ki gen lò. Tout moun ki te gen lò sou yo ban mwen l'. Mwen lage lò a nan dife, epi estati ti towo bèf sa a parèt.
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 Moyiz wè pèp la te fin dechennen, paske Arawon te lage brid ba yo, yo te lage kò yo nan sèvi zidòl. Sa fè yo pa t' anyen ankò devan lènmi yo.
And when Moses saw that the people was scattered, —for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies, —
26 Moyiz kanpe nan pòtay lakou kan an, li pale byen fò, li di: -Tout moun ki pou Seyè a, vin jwenn mwen. Se konsa tout pitit Levi yo vin jwenn li.
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 Li di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, li menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la di: Se pou nou chak pran nepe nou, mache nan tout kan an, depi nan pòtay sa a rive jouk lòt bò a. Touye mezi moun ki tonbe anba men nou, kit se frè nou, kit se zanmi nou, osinon vwazinaj nou.
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 Pitit Levi yo fè sa Moyiz te ba yo lòd fè a. Jou sa a, te gen twamil moun konsa nan pèp la ki te pèdi lavi yo.
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 Moyiz di pitit Levi yo: -Jòdi a, avèk san pitit gason nou yo ak san frè nou yo nou fè koule a, nou mete tèt nou apa nèt pou sèvis Seyè a. Se poutèt sa tou, Seyè a pa manke ban nou benediksyon l' jòdi a.
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 Nan denmen, Moyiz rele pèp la, li di yo: -Nou te fè yon gwo peche. Men koulye a, mwen pral moute sou mòn lan bò kote Seyè a. m'a wè si m' ka jwenn padon pou peche nou an.
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 Moyiz tounen bò kote Seyè a. Li di l': -Ou wè gwosè peche pèp la fè. Yo fè yon estati an lò pou sèvi yo bondye.
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 Men, tanpri, padonnen peche yo. Si se pa sa, tanpri efase non m' nan liv ou a.
And now if you will forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of your book, which you have written.
33 Seyè a reponn Moyiz, li di l': -Moun ki peche kont mwen an, se non l' pou m' efase nan liv mwen an.
And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book.
34 Koulye a, ou mèt ale. W'a mennen pèp la kote mwen te di ou mennen yo a. Chonje byen. Zanj mwen an ap mache devan ou. Men, lè jou a va rive pou m' vin fè regleman ak yo a, m'ap pini yo pou peche yo.
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 Seyè a te voye yon maladi sou pèp la pou pini l', paske yo te fòse Arawon fè estati yon ti bèf pou yo.
And the Lord struck the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
