Pukaana 32
1 A IKE aku la na kanaka i ko Mose hookaulua ana i ka iho mai, mai ka mauna mai, akoakoa iho la na kanaka io Aarona la, olelo ae la ia ia, E ku oe, e hana i akua no kakou, i mea hele mamua o kakou: no ka mea, o ua Mose la, ke kanaka nana kakou i alakai mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai; aole kakou ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!”
2 I mai la o Aarona ia lakou, E uhai oukou i na apo gula pepeiao, i na mea iloko o na pepeiao o ka oukou wahine, a me ka oukou keikikane, a me ka oukou kaikamahine, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
So Aaron told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Uhai iho la na kanaka a pau i na gula pepeiao, i na mea iloko o ko lakou pepeiao, a lawe mai io Aarona la.
Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Lawe iho la ia, mai ko lakou lima aku, a koli iho la ia mea i ke kila, a hana ae la i bipi keiki i hooheheeia; a olelo iho la lakou, Eia kou akua, e ka Iseraela, nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
5 A ike aku la o Aarona, hana iho la ia i kuahu imua i ke alo o ia mai; hea aku la o Aarona, i aku la, E, I apopo, he ahaaina na Iehova.
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
6 A ia la iho, ala koke ae la lakou, a mohai aku la i mohaikuni, a lawe mai no hoi i mohaihoomalu; a noho iho la na kanaka e ai, a e inu, a ku ae la iluna e paani.
So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.
7 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, O hele oe, e iho ilalo; ua hana hewa kou poe kanaka au i lawe mai ai, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 Ua huli koke ae lakou, mai ke ala aku a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou; ua hana lakou i bipi keiki i hooheheeia no lakou, ua hoomana lakou ia mea, a ua mohai hoi lakou ia ia, me ka i ana aku, E ka Iseraela e, eia kou akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Ua ike no au i keia poe kanaka, aia hoi, he poe kanaka a-i oolea:
The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
10 Ano hoi, e ae mai oe ia'u, i wela loa ko'u huhu ia lakou, i hoopau wau ia lakou; a na'u no e hana aku ia oe i lahuikanaka nui.
Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
11 Nonoi aku la o Mose ma ke alo o Iehova, o kona Akua, i aku la, E Iehova, no ke aha la i wela ai kou huhu i kou poe kanaka au i lawe mai ai, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, me ka mana nui, a me ka lima ikaika?
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
12 No ke aha la e olelo mai ai ko Aigupita, me ka i ana mai, No ka hewa i lawe mai ai oia ia lakou, e pepehi ia lakou ma na mauna, a e luku aku ia lakou, mai ka maka aku o ka honua? E maliu mai oe mai ka wela mai o kou huhu, a e aloha mai oe no ka hewa e hiki mai ana i kou poe kanaka.
Why should the Egyptians declare, ‘He brought them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce anger and relent from doing harm to Your people.
13 E hoomanao oe ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, ia Iseraela, i kau mau kauwa, i kou hoohiki ana ia lakou ma ou iho; i kau olelo ana mai ia lakou, E hoonui ana au i ka oukou ohana e like me na hoku o ka lani; a o keia aina a pau a'u i olelo ai, na'u no e haawi aku no ka oukou poe mamo, a e noho mau loa lakou ma ia aina.
Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”
14 Maliu mai la no o Iehova mai ka hoino mai ana i manao ai e hana mai i kona poe kanaka.
So the LORD relented from the calamity He had threatened to bring on His people.
15 Huli mai la o Mose, a iho mai la, mai ka mauna mai, aia hoi, maloko o kona lima na pohaku papa kanawai elua: ua palapalaia na papa ma na aoao elua, ua palapalaia no ma kahi aoao, a ma kahi aoao.
Then Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
16 O ia mau papa ka ke Akua i hana'i, a o ka palapala, na ke Akua ka palapala, ua kahakahaia maloko o na papa.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 A lohe o Iosua i ka walaau o kanaka i ko lakou uwauwa ana, i ae la ia ia Mose, He walaau kaua ka ma kahi e hoomoana'i.
When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “The sound of war is in the camp.”
18 I mai la kela, Aole ia he leo no ka poe uwauwa lanakila, aole hoi ka leo o ka poe uwe i ke pio ana; aka o ka walaau mele ka'u e lohe nei.
But Moses replied: “It is neither the cry of victory nor the cry of defeat; I hear the sound of singing!”
19 A kokoke ia i hiki i kahi o lakou i hoomoana'i, ike aku la ia i ka bipi keiki, a me ka haa ana: ulu puni iho la ko Mose huhu, kiola aku la ia i na papa, mai kona lima aku, a naha iho la laua malalo iho o ka mauna.
As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
20 Lawe iho la ia i ka bipi keiki a lakou i hana'i, a puhi aku la i ke ahi, a hoowali iho la a okaoka, a lulu aku la ia maluna o ka wai, a hoohainu aku la i na mamo a Iseraela i ka wai.
Then he took the calf they had made, burned it in the fire, ground it to powder, and scattered the powder over the face of the water. Then he forced the Israelites to drink it.
21 I aku la o Mose ia Aarona, Heaha ka mea a keia poe kanaka i hana'i ia oe, i hooili mai ai oe i keia hewa nui maluna o lakou.
“What did this people do to you,” Moses asked Aaron, “that you have led them into so great a sin?”
22 I mai la o Aarona, Mai ulu puni mai ka huhu o kuu haku, ua ike no oe i ka poe kanaka, na paa lakou ma ke kolohe.
“Do not be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.
23 No ka mea, olelo mai lakou ia'u, E hana oe i na akua no kakou, e hele aku imua o kakou; no ka mea, o ua Mose nei, ke kanaka nana kakou i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, aole kakou i ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
They told me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!’
24 I aku la au ia lakou, O ka mea ia ia kekahi gula, e uhai oia ia mea. Haawi mai no hoi lakou ia'u: alaila hahao aku la au ia mea iloko o ke ahi, a puka mai la mawaho ua bipi keiki nei.
So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off,’ and they gave it to me. And when I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”
25 A ike mai la o Mose i na kanaka, ua haunaele; (no ka mea, ua hoohaunaele o Aarona ia lakou i ka lukuia imua o ko lakou poe enemi: )
Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them run wild and become a laughingstock to their enemies.
26 Alaila ku mai la o Mose ma ka puka o kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i, i mai la, Owai ka mea ma ko Iehova aoao? e hele mai ia io'u nei. A akoakoa pu mai la na mamo a pau a Levi io na la.
So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
27 I mai la ia ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova o ke Akua o Iseraela penei, E kau na kanaka a pau i na pahikaua a lakou ma ko lakou aoao, e hele ae lakou a hoi mai, ma kela ipuka a keia ipuka o kahi hoomoana, a e pepehi ke kanaka i kona hoahanau, a o ke kanaka i kona makamaka, a o ke kanaka i kona hoalauna.
He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and slay his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”
28 Hana iho la na mamo a Levi e like me ka olelo a Mose: a haule iho la ia lakou ia la na kanaka ekolu paha tausani.
The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people fell dead.
29 No ka mea, ua olelo mai o Mose, E hoolaa oukou ia oukou iho no Iehova i keia la, o ke kanaka maluna o kana keiki a maluna o kona hoahanau; i hoomaikai mai kela ia oukou i keia la.
Afterward, Moses said, “Today you have been ordained for service to the LORD, since each man went against his son and his brother; so the LORD has bestowed a blessing on you this day.”
30 A ia la iho, i mai la o Mose i na kanaka, Ua lawehala loa oukou; ke pii aku nei no hoi au io Iehova la; e hana paha wau i mea e kalaia mai ai ko oukou hewa.
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 Hoi aku la o Mose io Iehova la, i aku la, Auwe hoi, ua lawehala loa keia poe kanaka, a ua hana i akua gula no lakou.
So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves.
32 Ano hoi, ina paha e kala mai oe i ko lakou hewa?; aka, i ole, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe e holoi mai oe ia'u, mai ka buke au i palapala ai.
Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”
33 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, O ka mea i lawehala i ka'u, e holoi aku au ia ia, mai ka'u buke aku.
The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.
34 No ia mea, o hele oe, e alakai ia poe kanaka i kahi a'u i olelo ai ia oe: aia hoi, e hele no ko'u anela mamua ou, aka hoi, i ko'u la e hoopai ai, e hoopai aku au i ko lakou hewa maluna o lakou.
Now go, lead the people to the place I described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Hahau mai la Iehova i na kanaka no ka lakou hana ana i ka bipi keiki a Aarona i hana'i.
And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
