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 the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mountain, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say to him, “Rise, make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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, “Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your 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 break off the rings of gold which [are] in their ears, and bring [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 receives [it] from their hand, and fashions it with an engraving tool, and makes it [into] a molten calf, and they say, “These [are] your gods, O Israel, who 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 sees, and builds an altar before it, and Aaron calls, and says, “A festival to YHWH—tomorrow”;
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 they rise early on the next day, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring peace-offerings near; and the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Go, descend, for your people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt have done corruptly,
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 turned aside from the way that I have commanded them; they have made a molten calf for themselves, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
9 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Mwen wè pèp sa, e gade byen, se yon pèp tèt di.
And YHWH says to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a stiff-necked people;
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, leave Me alone, and My anger burns against them, and I consume them, and I make you become 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 appeases the face of his God YHWH and says, “Why, O YHWH, does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
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.
Why do the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them out in calamity to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? Turn back from the heat of Your anger, and relent from this calamity against 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.’”
Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Your servants, to whom You have sworn by Yourself, and to whom You speak: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and they have inherited [it] for all time”;
14 Konsa, SENYÈ a te chanje ide li sou mal ke Li te di Li t ap fè a pèp Li a.
and YHWH relents from the evil which He has spoken of doing to 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 turns, and goes down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony [are] in his hand, tablets written on both their sides; they [are] written on this [side] and on that [side];
16 Tablèt yo se te zèv Bondye yo te ye. Ekriti la se te ekriti Bondye menm ki grave sou tablèt yo.
and the tablets are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
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 hears the voice of the people in their shouting and says to Moses, “A noise of battle 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 he says, “It is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness—I am hearing a voice of singing.”
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 it comes to pass, when he has drawn near to the camp, that he sees the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burns, and he casts the tablets out of his hands, and breaks them below 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 he takes the calf which they have made, and burns [it] with fire, and grinds [it] until [it is] small, and scatters [it] on the face of the waters, and causes the sons of Israel to drink.
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 says to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, that you have brought in a great sin on it?”
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 says, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you have known the people, that it [is beset] with evil;
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.’”
and they say to me, Make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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 say to them, Whoever has gold, let them break [it] off, and they give [it] to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf comes out.”
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 Moses sees the people, that it [is] unbridled, for Aaron has made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders,
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.
and Moses stands in the gate of the camp and says, “Who [is] for YHWH? [Come] to me!” And all the sons of Levi are gathered 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 said YHWH, God of Israel: Each put his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and each slay his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.”
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 do according to the word of Moses, and there falls of the people on that day about 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 says, “Consecrate your hand to YHWH today, for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring a blessing on you today.”
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 comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses says to the people, “You have sinned a great sin, and now I go up to YHWH, perhaps I can atone 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 turns back to YHWH and says, “Ah, now this people has sinned a great sin, that they make a god of gold for themselves;
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 take away their sin—and if not—please blot me out of Your scroll 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me—I blot him out of My scroll;
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, lead the people wherever I have spoken to you of; behold, My Messenger goes before you, and in the day of my charging—then I have charged their sin on them.”
35 Konsa, SENYÈ a te frape pèp la akoz sa yo te fè avèk jèn towo ke Aaron te fè a.
And YHWH plagues the people because they made the calf which Aaron made.
