Egzòd 32
1 Alò, lè pèp la te wè ke Moïse te fè reta sòti nan mòn nan, pèp la te rasanble vè Aaron e yo te di li: “Vini, fè pou nou yon dye ki va ale devan nou; pwiske, Moïse sila a, nonm ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, nou pa konnen sa ki rive li.”
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 Aaron te di yo: “Chire retire zanno lò ki nan zòrèy a Madanm nou yo, fis nou yo, ak fi nou yo, e 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 Epi tout pèp la te chire zanno lò ki te nan zòrèy pa yo. Yo te pote yo bay Aaron.
And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Li te pran yo nan men yo; li te fè desen li avèk yon zouti pou grave, e li te fonn li pou fè yon jèn towo. Konsa yo te di: “Sa se dye pa ou, O Israël, ki te mennen ou sòti nan peyi Égypte 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 Alò, lè Aaron te wè sa, li te bati yon lotèl devan li. Epi Aaron te fè yon pwoklamasyon e te di: “Demen va yon fèt pou SENYÈ 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 Epi nan jou ki te vini an, yo te leve bonè. Yo te ofri ofrann brile a, e yo te pote ofrann lapè yo. Konsa, pèp la te chita pou manje, pou bwè, e yo te leve pou jwe.
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 Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di: “Desann koulye a, paske pèp ou a, ke ou te mennen monte nan peyi Égypte la, gen tan vin konwonpi.
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 vire byen vit kite chemen ke Mwen te pase lòd ba yo a. Yo fè pou yo menm yon jèn towo fonn, yo adore li, yo fè sakrifis bay li, e yo di: ‘Sa se dye pa ou, O Israël, ki te mennen ou monte kite peyi Égypte 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 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Mwen wè pèp sa, e gade byen, se yon pèp tèt di.
These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
10 Koulye a alò, kite Mwen sèl, pou kòlè Mwen kapab briye kont yo, e pou M kapab detwi yo; epi Mwen va fè nan ou menm yon gran 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 Men Moïse te priye SENYÈ a Bondye li a, e te di: “O SENYÈ poukisa kòlè ou briye kont pèp Ou a, ke Ou te fè sòti nan peyi Égypte la avèk gran pouvwa e avèk yon men pwisan an?
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 Poukisa Ejipsyen yo ta dwe pale pou di: ‘Avèk mechanste Li te fè yo sòti, pou touye yo nan mòn yo e pou detwi yo sou fas tè a?’” “Vire kite kòlè Ou k ap briye a, e vire kite ide Ou sou entansyon Ou, pou fè pèp Ou mal la.
[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 Sonje Abraham, Isaac, ak Israël, sèvitè ou yo, ke Ou te sèmante pa Ou menm, pou di yo: ‘Mwen va miltipliye desandan nou yo tankou zetwal nan syèl yo, e tout peyi ke M te pale yo, Mwen va bay a desandan nou yo, e yo va eritye li jis 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 Konsa, SENYÈ a te chanje ide li sou mal ke Li te di Li t ap fè a pèp Li a.
And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
15 Alò, Moïse te vire desann mòn nan avèk de tablèt temwayaj yo nan Men l; tablèt ki te ekri nan toude fas yo.
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 Tablèt yo se te zèv Bondye yo te ye. Ekriti la se te ekriti Bondye menm ki grave sou tablèt yo.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
17 Alò, lè Josué te tande bwi a pèp la pandan yo t ap rele fò, li te di Moïse: “Gen son lagè 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 li te di yo: “Se pa son a yon kri viktwa, ni se pa son ke y ap pèdi batay; men se son chante ke m tande.”
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 Li te vin rive ke depi Moïse te pwoche kan an, li te wè jèn towo a ak tout dans yo. Konsa, kòlè te briye nan Moïse. Li te jete tablèt ki te nan men li yo atè, e li te kraze yo nan baz mòn nan.
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 te pran jèn towo ke yo te fè a; li te brile li avèk dife. Li te kraze l fè poud, e li te gaye li sou tout sifas dlo a. Konsa, li te fè fis Israël yo bwè li.
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 Moïse te di a Aaron: “Kisa pèp sa te fè ou la a, pou ou ta mennen yon si tèlman gwo peche sou yo?”
And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to you, that you have brought upon them a great sin?
22 Aaron te di: “Pa kite kòlè a mèt mwen briye. Ou konnen pèp sa a ou menm, ke yo toujou panche vè lemal.
And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for you know the impetuosity of this people.
23 Paske yo te di mwen: ‘Fè yon dye pou nou ki va ale devan nou. Paske Moïse sila a, mesye ki te mennen nou monte sòti nan peyi Égypte la, nou pa konnen sa ki rive li.’”
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 “Mwen te di yo: ‘Nenpòt moun ki gen nenpòt lò, ke yo chire retire li.’ Alò, yo te ban mwen li, mwen te jete li nan dife a, e ti towo sa a te 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 Alò, lè Moïse te wè ke pèp la te pèdi kontwòl nèt—paske Aaron te kite yo pèdi kontwòl pou yo te kapab devni yon rizib pami 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 Alò, Moïse te vin kanpe nan pòtay kan an, e li te di: “Nenpòt moun ki pou SENYÈ a vin kote mwen!” Epi tout fis Levi yo te rasanble kote 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 te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, chak moun nan nou mete nepe nou sou kwis nou. Ale tout kote pòtay sou pòtay nan kan an, e chak touye frè nou, chak zanmi nou, chak vwazen 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 Konsa, fis a Levi yo te fè sa ke Moïse te enstwi yo a, e anviwon twa-mil moun nan pèp la te tonbe nan jou sa a.
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 Alò Moïse te di: “Konsakre nou nan menm jou sa a bay SENYÈ a—paske chak moun te kont fis li, e kont frè li—pou Li kapab beni nou jodi 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 jou pwochen a, Moïse te di a pèp la: “Nou pou kont nou te komèt yon gwo peche. Koulye a mwen ap monte vè SENYÈ a. Petèt mwen kapab twouve padon pou peche nou yo.”
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 Alò, Moïse te retounen vè Bondye, e te di: “Elas, pèp sa a komèt yon gwo peche. Yo te gen tan fè yon dye an lò pou yo menm.
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 koulye a, si Ou va padone, padone peche yo—e si non, souple efase mwen nan liv ke Ou te ekri 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 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Nenpòt moun ki te peche kont Mwen, Mwen va efase li 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 Men ale koulye a, mennen pèp la kote Mwen te di ou a. Veye byen, zanj Mwen va ale devan ou. Malgre sa, nan jou ke Mwen va pini an, Mwen va pini yo pou peche yo a.”
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 Konsa, SENYÈ a te frape pèp la akoz sa yo te fè avèk jèn towo ke Aaron te fè a.
And the Lord struck the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
