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'.
When the people saw that Moses [Drawn out] delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron [Light-bringer], and said to him, “Come, make us deities, which shall lead us; for this Moses [Drawn out], the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], we don’t know what has 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.
Aaron [Light-bringer] said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your 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.
All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron [Light-bringer].
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.
He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, “These are your deities, Israel [God prevails], which brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
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.
When Aaron [Light-bringer] saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron [Light-bringer] made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Adonai.”
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.
They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to pray.
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.
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], “Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], have corrupted themselves!
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 turned aside quickly out of the way which I enjoined them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your deities, Israel [God prevails], which brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].’”
9 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Mwen wè pèp sa a se yon pèp ki gen tèt di.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
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.
Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and 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?
Moses [Drawn out] begged Adonai his God, and said, “Adonai, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with great power 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.
Why should the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] speak, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?’ Turn from your fierce wrath, and teshuvah ·turn repent· of this evil against 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 [Father of a multitude], Isaac [Laughter], and Israel [God prevails], your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
14 Lè sa a, Seyè a chanje lide, li pa voye malè sèk li te fè lide voye sou pèp la ankò.
Adonai changed his mind concerning the disaster which he planned for 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.
Moses [Drawn out] turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
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.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved 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!
When Joshua [Yah Salvation] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses [Drawn out], “There is the 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.
He said, “It is not the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I sh'ma ·hear obey·.”
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.
As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses [Drawn out]’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath 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.
He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel [God prevails] drink of it.
21 Apre sa li di Arawon: -Kisa moun sa yo fè ou menm pou ou kite yo fè kalite gwo peche sa a?
Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal· on them?”
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.
Aaron [Light-bringer] said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on 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.
For they said to me, ‘Make us deities to lead us; for this Moses [Drawn out], the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], we don’t know what has 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.
I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:’ so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came 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.
When Moses [Drawn out] saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron [Light-bringer] had let them loose for a derision 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.
then Moses [Drawn out] stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Adonai’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi [United with] 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.
He said to them, “Adonai says, the God of Israel [God prevails], ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his 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.
The sons of Levi [United with] did according to the word of Moses [Drawn out]: and there fell of the people that day about 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.
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Adonai, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may give you a blessing today.”
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.
On the next day, Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “You have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal·. Now I will go up to Adonai. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your habitual sin ·missing the mark·.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] teshuvah ·completely returned· to Adonai, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal·, and have made themselves deities of gold.
32 Men, tanpri, padonnen peche yo. Si se pa sa, tanpri efase non m' nan liv ou a.
Yet now, if you will, forgive their habitual sin ·missing the mark·— and if not, please 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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Whoever has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· against me, him will I blot 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.
Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their habitual sin ·missing the mark·.”
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.
Adonai struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron [Light-bringer] made.
