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'.
Then the people, seeing that Moses made a delay in descending from the mountain, gathered together against Aaron, and said: “Rise up, make us gods, who may go before us. But as for this man Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen 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 said to them, “Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons 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 the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings 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 when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: “These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from 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 when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, “Tomorrow is the solemnity 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 rising up in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they 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.
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go, descend. Your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, have sinned.
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 withdrawn from the way which you revealed to them. And they have made for themselves a molten calf, and they have worshiped it. And immolating victims to it, they have said: ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.’”
9 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Mwen wè pèp sa a se yon pèp ki gen tèt di.
And again, the Lord said to Moses: “I discern that this people is stiff-necked.
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.
Release me, so that my fury may be enraged against them, and I may destroy them, and then I will make of 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?
Then Moses prayed to the Lord his God, saying: “Why, O Lord, is your fury enraged against your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with a mighty hand?
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.
I beg you, let not the Egyptians say, ‘He cleverly led them away, so that he could put them to death in the mountains and destroy them from the earth.’ Let your anger be quieted and appeased concerning the wickedness 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.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your very self, saying: ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And this entire land, about which I have spoken, I will give to your offspring. And you shall possess it forever.’”
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 appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against 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 returned from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
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 accomplished by the work of God. Also, the writing of God was engraved on the tablets.
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!
Then Joshua, hearing the tumult of the people shouting, said to Moses: “The outcry of battle is heard 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.
But he responded: “It is not the clamor of men being exhorted to battle, nor the shout of men being compelled to flee. But I hear the voice of singing.”
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 had approached to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances. And being very angry, he threw down the tablets from his hand, and he broke them at the base of 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 seizing the calf, which they had made, he burnt it and crushed it, even to dust, which he scattered into water. And he gave from it to the sons of Israel to drink.
21 Apre sa li di Arawon: -Kisa moun sa yo fè ou menm pou ou kite yo fè kalite gwo peche sa a?
And he said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, so that you would bring upon them the greatest 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 he answered him: “Let not my lord be indignant. For you know this people, that they are prone to evil.
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.
They said to me: ‘Make gods for us, who may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen 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, ‘Which of you has gold?’ And they took it and gave it to me. And I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
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.
Therefore, Moses, seeing that the people were naked (for Aaron had stripped them because of the disgrace of their sordidness, and he had set them naked among 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.
and standing at the gate of the camp, said: “If anyone is for the Lord, let him join with me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together 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 said to them: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Let a man place his sword at his thigh. Go forth, and then return, from gate to gate, through the midst of the camp, and let each one kill his brother, and friend, and neighbor.”
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 according to the words of Moses, and there fell on that day about twenty-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: “On this day, you have consecrated your hands to the Lord, each one in his son and in his brother, so that a blessing may 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.
Then, when the next day arrived, Moses spoke to the people: “You have sinned the greatest sin. I will ascend to the Lord. Perhaps, in some way, I might be able to entreat him for your wickedness.”
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 returning to the Lord, he said: “I beg you, this people has sinned the greatest sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold. Either release them from this offense,
32 Men, tanpri, padonnen peche yo. Si se pa sa, tanpri efase non m' nan liv ou a.
or, if you do not, then delete me from the book that 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 answered him: “Whoever has sinned against me, him I will delete from 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.
But as for you, go and lead this people where I have told you. My angel will go before you. Then, on the day of retribution, I will also visit this sin of theirs.”
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.
Therefore, the Lord struck the people for the guilt of the calf, which Aaron had made.
