Ọpụpụ 32
1 Mgbe ndị mmadụ ahụ hụrụ na Mosis anọọla ọdụ ịrịdata site nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị, ha zukọtara, bịakwute Erọn, sị ya, “Bilie, meere anyị chi ndị ga-edu anyị, nʼihi na nwoke a bụ Mosis onye dupụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt, anyị amaghị ihe mere ya.”
Bvt when the people sawe, that Moses taryed long or he came downe from the mountaine, the people gathered themselues together against Aaron, and sayde vnto him, Vp, make vs gods to goe before vs: for of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt) we knowe not what is become of him.
2 Erọn zara sị ha, “Yipụtanụ ọlantị ọlaedo ndị nwunye unu, na ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ndị inyom yi. Wetara m ha.”
And Aaron said vnto them, Plucke off the golden earings, which are in the eares of your wiues, of your sonnes, and of your daughters, and bring them vnto me.
3 Ngwangwa, ha niile yipụrụ ọlantị ha weta ha nye Erọn.
Then all ye people pluckt from them selues the golden earings, which were in their eares, and they brought them vnto Aaron.
4 Ọ naara ya nʼaka ha, were ngwa ọrụ e ji egbunye akara, kpụtara ha arụsị nwa oke ehi. Mgbe ahụ, ha kwuru sị, “Ndị Izrel, ndị a bụ chi unu, nke sitere nʼala Ijipt dupụta unu.”
Who receiued them at their handes, and facioned it with the grauing toole, and made of it a molte calfe: then they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of ye lad of Egypt
5 Mgbe Erọn hụrụ na ụmụ Izrel jupụtara nʼobi aṅụrị, nʼihi ihe ahụ ọ kpụrụ, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼihu nwa ehi ahụ ọ kpụrụ, kwuo okwu sị, “Echi, a ga-enwe oke mmemme nye Onyenwe anyị!”
When Aaron sawe that, he made an Altar before it: and Aaron proclaimed, saying, To morow shalbe the holy day of the Lord.
6 Ya mere na echi ya, ha biliri nʼoge, bido ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ, na aja udo, nye nwa ehi ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ. Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ha nọdụrụ ala iri ihe na ịṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ, biliekwa ọtọ gwurie egwu ime onwe ha obi ụtọ.
So they rose vp the next day in the morning, and offred burnt offerings, and brought peace offrings: also the people sate them downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play.
7 Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Gbada ọsịịsọ, nʼihi na ndị gị, ndị i dupụtara site nʼIjipt emerụọla onwe ha.
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go, get thee downe: for thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath corrupted their wayes.
8 Nʼotu ntabi anya a, ha ahapụla ụzọ m niile. Ha akpụọlara onwe ha arụsị nwa oke ehi, nke ha na-efe ofufe, nke ha chụkwaara aja nye. Ha kwukwara sị, ‘Ndị Izrel, ndị a bụ chi unu, nke dupụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt.’”
They are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: for they haue made them a molten calfe and haue worshipped it, and haue offered thereto, saying, These be thy gods, O Israel, which haue brought thee out of the lande of Egypt.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Ahụla m na ndị a bụ ndị isiike, na ndị na-enupu isi.
Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stiffe necked people.
10 Ugbu a, hapụ m ka iwe m bịakwasị ha, ka m laa ha nʼiyi. Aga m eme ka gị onwe gị bụ Mosis bụrụ mba ukwu nʼọnọdụ ha.”
Nowe therefore let mee alone, that my wrath may waxe hote against them, for I wil consume the: but I wil make of thee a mighty people.
11 Ma Mosis rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya arịrịọ sị ya, “Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị gịnị mere iwe gị ji dị ọkụ otu a nʼebe ndị gị nọ bụ ndị nke i ji ike ebube gị, na ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama dị ịtụnanya, dupụta site nʼala Ijipt?
But Moses praied vnto the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote against thy people, which thou hast brought out of the lande of Egypt, with great power and with a mightie hand?
12 Nʼihi gịnị ka ndị Ijipt ga-ekwu sị, ‘Ọ bụghị ime ha ihe ọjọọ ka o ji dupụta ha, ka o nwee ike gbuo ha nʼugwu ndị a, ma kpochapụkwa ha site nʼelu ụwa a?’ Site nʼiwe gị dị ọkụ chigharịa, kwere ka ọ dajụọ. Chigharịakwaa site nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ a nʼebe ndị gị nọ.
Wherefore shall the Egyptians speake, and say, He hath brought them out maliciously for to slay them in the mountaines, and to consume them from the earth? turne from thy fearce wrath, and change thy minde from this euill towarde thy people.
13 Cheta nkwa ahụ i kwere ndị ohu gị bụ Ebraham, Aịzik, na Izrel. Nʼihi na i ji onwe gị ṅụọ iyi nye ha sị, ‘Aga m eme ka mkpụrụ gị mụbaa dịka kpakpando nke eluigwe. Aga m enye ha ala m kwere ụmụ ụmụ gị na nkwa ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’”
Remember Abraham, Izhak, and Israel thy seruants, to whom thou swarest by thine owne selfe, and saydest vnto them, I wil multiply your seede, as the starres of the heauen, and all this land, that I haue spoken of, wil I giue vnto your seede, and they shall inherit it for euer.
14 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gbanwere obi ya. Ọ lakwaghị ha nʼiyi.
Then the Lord changed his minde from the euil, which he threatned to do vnto his people.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis tụgharịrị site nʼugwu ahụ rịdata, mbadamba nkume abụọ nke iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị ya nʼaka. E dere ha ihe nʼihu abụọ, nʼihu nakwa nʼazụ.
So Moses returned and went downe from the mountaine with the two Tables of the Testimonie in his hande: the Tables were written on both their sides, euen on the one side and on the other were they written.
16 Mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ bụ akaọrụ Chineke, ihe e dere nʼelu ha bụ ihe Chineke nʼonwe ya dekwasịrị nʼelu mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ.
And these Tables were the worke of God, and this writing was the writing of God grauen in the Tables.
17 Mgbe Joshua nụrụ ụzụ si na ndịda ugwu ahụ, nke ụmụ Izrel niile na-eme, ọ gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Ụzụ agha dị nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu.”
And when Ioshua heard the noyse of the people, as they shouted, he said vnto Moses, There is a noyse of warre in the hoste.
18 Ma Mosis zara sị, “Mba, nke a abụghị ụzụ ndị meriri nʼagha, maọbụ ụzụ ndị e meriri nʼagha, kama ọ bụ olu abụ ka m na-anụ.”
Who answered, It is not the noyse of them that haue the victorie, nor the noyse of them that are ouercome: but I do heare ye noyse of singing.
19 Mgbe Mosis bịaruru nso ebe ahụ ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha, hụ nwa oke ehi ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ na egwu a na-ete, iwe were ya nke ukwuu. Ọ tụpụrụ mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ o ji nʼaka. Kụrie ha na ndịda ugwu ahụ.
Nowe, as soone as he came neere vnto the hoste, he sawe the calfe and the dancing: so Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the Tables out of his handes, and brake them in pieces beneath the mountaine.
20 Mosis weere nwa oke ehi ahụ ha kpụrụ akpụ, kpọọ ya ọkụ. Mgbe ahụ, o gweriri ya dịka ntụ. Fesaa ya nʼelu mmiri mee ka ụmụ Izrel ṅụọ mmiri ahụ.
After, he tooke the calfe, which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it vnto powder, and strowed it vpon the water, and made the children of Israel drinke of it.
21 Ọ gwara Erọn okwu sị, “Gịnị ka ndị a mere gị i ji bute ụdị mmehie ọjọọ dị otu a tụkwasị ha nʼisi?”
Also Moses said vnto Aaron, What did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them?
22 “Erọn zara sị ya, ka iwe gị ghara ịdị ọkụ, onyenwe m. Gị onwe gị maara ndị a, mata otu ha si bụrụ ndị ọjọọ.
Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fearce: Thou knowest this people, that they are euen set on mischiefe.
23 Ha sịrị m, ‘Meere anyị chi ndị ga-edu anyị, nʼihi na nwoke a bụ Mosis onye dupụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt, anyị amaghị ihe mere ya.’
And they sayde vnto me, Make vs gods to go before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.)
24 Asịrị m ha, ‘Onye ọbụla nke nwere ihe ịchọ ọma ọlaedo, ya yipu ya.’ Mgbe ahụ, ha wetara m ọlaedo ndị a, nke m tụbara nʼime ọkụ. Ihe si na ya pụta bụ nwa ehi a kpụrụ akpụ!”
Then I sayde to them, Ye that haue golde, plucke it off: and they brought it me, and I did cast it into the fire, and thereof came this calfe.
25 Mosis hụrụ na omume ndị a jọgbuziri onwe ya na njọ nʼihi na Erọn mere ka isi kopu ha. Nke mere ka ha bụrụzia ihe ọchị nʼebe ndị iro ha dị.
Moses therefore sawe that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked vnto their shame among their enemies)
26 O guzoro nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu ahụ kwuo sị, “Onye ọbụla dịnyeere Onyenwe anyị ya bịakwute m.” Ndị Livayị niile bịakwutere ya.
And Moses stoode in ye gate of the campe, and sayde, Who pertaineth to the Lord? let him come to mee. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered themselues vnto him.
27 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel kwuru, ‘Nwoke ọbụla nyara mma agha ya nʼakụkụ ya, jegharịa nʼetiti ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel, site nʼotu isi ruo nʼisi nke ọzọ. Ya gbuo ọbụladị nwanne ya nwoke, maọbụ enyi ya, maọbụ onye agbataobi ya.’”
Then he said vnto them, Thus sayth ye Lord God of Israel, Put euery man his sworde by his side: go to and from, from gate to gate, through the hoste, and slay euery man his brother, and euery man his companion, and euery man his neighbour.
28 Ndị Livayị mezuru ihe Mosis gwara ha. Ya mere ndị nwụrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ dị puku mmadụ atọ.
So the children of Leui did as Moses had commanded: and there fel of the people the same day about three thousand men.
29 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gwara ndị Livayị okwu sị, “Taa, unu ekewapụtala onwe unu nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu gburu ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ụmụnne unu ndị ikom. Ugbu a, ọ gọziela unu taa.”
(For Moses had said, Cosecrate your hands vnto the Lord this day, euen euery man vpon his sonne, and vpon his brother, that there may be giuen you a blessing this day)
30 Nʼechi ya, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel okwu sị ha, “Unu emeela mmehie dị ukwuu megide Onyenwe anyị. Ma aga m alaghachikwuru Onyenwe anyị nʼelu ugwu ahụ rịọọ ya. Ma eleghị anya, aga m arịọta maka ikpuchi mmehie unu.”
And when the morning came, Moses sayde vnto the people, Yee haue committed a grieuous crime: but now I wil goe vp to the Lord, if I may pacifie him for your sinne.
31 Ya mere, Mosis jekwuuru Onyenwe anyị sị ya, “Biko Onyenwe anyị, ndị a emeela mmehie dị ukwuu megide gị, nʼihi na ha akpụọlara onwe ha chi ọlaedo.
Moses therefore went againe vnto ye Lord, and said, Oh, this people haue sinned a great sinne, and haue made them gods of golde.
32 Ma ugbu a, biko, gbaghara mmehie ha. Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị agbaghara ha, biko hichapụ aha m site nʼakwụkwọ ahụ i dere.”
Therefore now if thou pardon their sinne, thy mercy shall appeare: but if thou wilt not, I pray thee, rase me out of thy booke, which thou hast written.
33 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị Mosis, “Onye ọbụla mehiere megide m ka a ga-ehichapụ aha ya site nʼakwụkwọ m.
Then the Lord sayd to Moses, Whosoeuer hath sinned against me, I will put out of my booke.
34 Ma ugbu a, duru ndị a gaa ebe ahụ m gwara gị. Mmụọ ozi m ga-edu unu nʼije a. Ma otu ọ dị, mgbe m bịara ileta ndị a, aga m ata ha ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha.”
Go nowe therefore, bring the people vnto the place which I commanded thee: behold, mine Angel shall goe before thee, but yet in the day of my visitation I wil visite their sinne vpon them.
35 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọrịa dị egwu bịakwasị ha, nʼihi ihe ha ji nwa ehi ahụ, bụ nke Erọn kpụrụ mee.
So the Lord plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make ye calfe which he made.
