< Fitowa 32 >
1 Sa’ad da mutane suka ga Musa ya daɗe bai sauko daga dutse ba, sai suka taru kewaye da Haruna suka ce, “Zo, ka yi mana alloli waɗanda za su yi mana jagora. Game da wannan Musa wanda ya fitar da mu daga Masar dai, ba mu san abin da ya faru da shi ba.”
[(Moses/I) stayed on top of the mountain a long time]. When the people realized that he/I was not returning quickly, they gathered near Aaron and said to him, “We do not know what has happened to that man Moses who brought us here out of Egypt. So quickly, make us ([an idol/a statue of a god]) who will lead us!”
2 Haruna ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ku tuttuɓe zoban zinariya waɗanda suke kunnuwan matanku, da na’ya’yanku maza da mata, ku kawo mini.”
Aaron replied to them, “All right, [I will do that, but] tell your wives and your sons and your daughters to take off all their gold earrings and bring them to me.”
3 Saboda haka dukan mutane suka tuttuɓe’yan kunnensu suka kawo wa Haruna.
So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Sai ya karɓi abubuwan da suka ba shi, ya yi gunki na siffar ɗan maraƙi, ya sassaƙa shi da kayan aiki. Sa’ad da mutane suka gani, sai suka tā da murya suka ce, “Waɗannan su ne allolinku, ya Isra’ila, waɗanda suka fitar da ku daga Masar.”
He took all those gold earrings and melted them in a fire. He [poured the gold into a mold and] made a statue that looked like a young bull. The people saw it and said, “This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt!”
5 Da Haruna ya ga haka, sai ya gina bagade a gaban ɗan maraƙi, ya yi shela ya ce, “Gobe akwai biki ga Ubangiji.”
When Aaron saw [what was happening], he built an altar in front of the [statue of the] young bull. Then he announced, “Tomorrow we will have a festival to honor Yahweh!”
6 Saboda haka kashegari, mutane suka tashi da sassafe suka miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa, da hadaya ta salama. Bayan haka suka zauna suka ci, suka sha, suka kuma tashi suka yi rawa.
So the people got up early the next morning and brought animals to kill and burn as sacrifices on the altar. They also brought sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then they sat down to eat and drink [wine]. Then they got up and started dancing in a very immoral way.
7 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Sauka, gama mutanenka, waɗanda ka fitar da su daga Masar sun ƙazantu.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back down from the mountain, because your people, the ones that you brought up here from Egypt, have [already] (become very depraved/wicked)!
8 Sun yi saurin juyawa daga abin da na umarce su, sun kuma yi wa kansu gunki na siffar ɗan maraƙi. Sun yi sujada ga ɗan maraƙi, suka yi hadaya gare shi, suka kuma ce, waɗannan su ne allolinka ya Isra’ila, waɗanda suka fito da kai daga Masar.”
They have already (left the road that I showed them/stopped obeying me)! They have made [a statue of] a young bull from melted gold. They have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. And they are saying, ‘This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from Egypt!’”
9 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Na ga waɗannan mutane, mutane ne masu taurinkai.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
10 Yanzu ka bar ni kurum fushina yă yi ƙuna a kansu, in hallaka su. Sa’an nan in maishe ka al’umma mai girma.
I am very angry with them, and so I am going to get rid of them. Do not try to stop me! Then I will cause you and your descendants to become a great nation.”
11 Amma Musa ya nemi tagomashin Ubangiji, Allahnsa ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji don me fushinka zai yi ƙuna a kan mutanenka, waɗanda ka fisshe su daga Masar da ikon hannunka mai girma?
But Moses/I pleaded with his/my God, Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, (you should not be very angry with your people!/why are you so angry with your people [RHQ]?) These are the people whom you rescued from Egypt with very great power [MTY, DOU]!
12 Don me za ka sa Masarawa su ce, ‘Ai, da mugun nufi ne ya fito da su don yă shafe su daga fuskar duniya’? Ka juya daga fushinka mai zafi, ka ji tausayi, kada ka kawo masifa a kan mutanenka.
Do not [do anything that would] allow the people of Egypt to say, ‘Their god led them out from our country, but [he did that] only [because he wanted] to kill them in the mountains and get rid of them completely [RHQ]!’ Stop being so angry! (Change your mind/Do not do what you have told me that you will do)! Do not do to your people this terrible thing [that you have just said that you will do]
13 Ka tuna da bayinka Ibrahim, Ishaku da Isra’ila, waɗanda ka rantse da kanka cewa, ‘Zan mai da zuriyarka kamar taurarin sama kuma zan ba wa zuriyarka wannan ƙasa wadda na yi musu alkawari, za tă kuma zama abin gādonsu har abada.’”
Think about your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You solemnly promised them, ‘I will enable you to have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.’ You said to them, ‘I will give to your descendants all the land that I am promising to give them. It will be their land forever.’”
14 Sai Ubangiji ya yi juyayi, bai kuwa kawo wa mutanensa bala’in da ya yi niyya ba.
So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
15 Musa ya juya, ya sauka daga kan dutsen da alluna biyu na Alkawari a hannuwansa. An yi rubutun a kowane gefe, gaba da baya.
Moses/I turned away from God and went down the mountain, carrying in his hands the two stone slabs on which Yahweh had engraved his commandments. He had written on both sides of the slabs.
16 Allunan aikin Allah ne; rubutun kuma rubutun Allah ne, da ya zāna a kan alluna.
God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
17 Sa’ad da Yoshuwa ya ji surutun mutane suna ihu, sai ya ce wa Musa, “Kamar akwai ƙarar yaƙi a sansani.”
Joshua heard the very loud noise of the people shouting. So when he and I got near the camp, Joshua said, “There is a noise in the camp that sounds like [the noise of] a battle!”
18 Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Ba ƙarar nasara ba ce, ba ƙarar wanda yaƙi ya ci ba ne; ƙarar waƙa ce nake ji.”
But Moses/I replied, [“No], that is not the shouting that people do when they have won a victory or when they have been defeated [in a battle] What I hear is the sound of [loud] singing!”
19 Da Musa ya kusato sansanin, sai ya ga ɗan maraƙin da kuma mutane suna rawa. Sai fushinsa ya yi ƙuna, ya kuwa jefar da allunan da suke hannuwansa, allunan kuwa suka farfashe a gindin dutsen.
As soon as Moses/I came close to the camp and saw the statue of the young bull and saw the people dancing, he/I became extremely angry. He/I threw the stone tablets that he/I was carrying down onto the ground, there at the base of the mountain.
20 Sai ya ɗauki ɗan maraƙin da suka yi, ya ƙone a wuta; sa’an nan ya niƙa shi ya zama gari, ya barbaɗa garin a ruwa, ya sa Isra’ilawa suka sha.
Then he/I took the statue of the young bull that they had made and melted it in the fire. [When it cooled], he/I ground it into [fine] powder. Then he/I mixed the powder with water and forced the Israeli people to drink it.
21 Ya ce wa Haruna, “Mene ne waɗannan mutane suka yi maka da ka kai su ga wannan zunubi mai girma?”
Then he/I said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, with the result that you have made them commit such a terrible sin?”
22 Haruna ya amsa ya ce, “Kada ka yi fushi da ni ranka yă daɗe, ka san yadda mutanen nan suke da saurin yin mugunta.
Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
23 Sun ce mini, ‘Ka yi mana alloli waɗanda za su yi mana jagora, game da wannan Musa dai, wanda ya fito da mu daga Masar, ba mu san abin da ya faru da shi ba.’
They said to me, ‘As for that man Moses, the one who brought us up here from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. So make for us an idol that will lead us!’
24 Sai na gaya musu, ‘Duk wanda yana da kayan ado na zinariya, ya cire?’ Sa’an nan suka ba ni zinariya, sai na jefa cikin wuta, wannan ɗan maraƙi ya fito.”
So I said to them, ‘Everyone who is wearing [gold earrings] should take them off.’ So they [took them off and] gave them to me. I threw them into the fire, and out came this statue of a young bull!”
25 Musa ya duba ya ga mutane sun kauce gaba ɗaya domin Haruna ya sa suka kauce, har suka zama abin dariya ga abokan gābansu.
Moses/I saw that Aaron had allowed the people to become completely out of control and to do things that would make their enemies think the Israeli people were foolish.
26 Saboda haka sai ya tsaya a ƙofar sansani ya ce, “Duk wanda yake na Ubangiji yă zo wurina.” Sai dukan Lawiyawa suka taru wurinsa.
So he/I stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “Everyone who is loyal to Yahweh should come [closer] to me!” So the descendants of Levi gathered around him/me.
27 Sa’an nan ya ce musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Kowane mutum yă rataya takobinsa, yă kai yă kawo daga wannan gefe zuwa wancan cikin sansani, kowa yă kashe ɗan’uwansa, da abokinsa, da kuma maƙwabcinsa.’”
Then he/I said to them, “Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, commands that every one of you should fasten your sword to your side, and then go through the camp from this entrance to the other one, and kill some of your relatives and your companions and your neighbors.”
28 Lawiyawa suka yi yadda Musa ya umarta, a ranar, mutane wajen dubu uku suka mutu.
The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
29 Sa’an nan Musa ya ce, “An keɓe ku ga Ubangiji a yau, gama kun yi gāba da’ya’yanku da’yan’uwanku, ya kuma albarkace ku a wannan rana.”
Moses/I said to the descendants of Levi, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to serving Yahweh by (killing/not sparing) [even] your own sons and brothers, and as a result Yahweh will bless you.”
30 Kashegari Musa ya ce wa mutane, “Kun yi zunubi mai girma. Amma yanzu zan hau wurin Ubangiji; wataƙila zan iya yin kafara domin zunubinku.”
The next day, Moses/I said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But I will now climb up the mountain again to talk with Yahweh. Perhaps I can [persuade him] to forgive you for sinning [like this].”
31 Don haka Musa ya koma wurin Ubangiji ya ce, “Kaito, mutanen nan sun yi zunubi mai girma! Sun yi wa kansu allolin zinariya.
So Moses/I went back up the mountain and said to Yahweh, “I am sorry to admit that these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made for themselves a gold idol and have worshiped it.
32 Amma yanzu, ina roƙonka ka gafarta zunubinsu, in ba haka ba, to, ka shafe ni daga littafin da ka rubuta.”
But now I ask you to please forgive them for having sinned. If you will not forgive them, then erase my name from the book in which you have written [the names of your people].”
33 Ubangiji ya amsa wa Musa, “Duk wanda ya yi mini zunubi, shi zan shafe daga littafina.
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
34 Yanzu tafi, ka jagoranci mutanen zuwa inda na yi zance, mala’ikana kuma zai sha gabanku. Duk da haka sa’ad da lokaci ya yi da zan yi horo, zan hore su domin zunubinsu.”
Now you go back down and lead the [Israeli] people to the place that I told you about. Keep in mind that my angel will go in front of you. But, at the time that I determine, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Ubangiji kuwa ya bugi mutanen da annoba, saboda abin da suka yi da ɗan maraƙin da Haruna ya yi.
[Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
