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.”
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us elohim, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot 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 unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 Ngwangwa, ha niile yipụrụ ọlantị ha weta ha nye Erọn.
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto 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.”
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy elohim, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land 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!”
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to YHWH.
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.
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up 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.
And YHWH said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
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 have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy elohim, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Ahụla m na ndị a bụ ndị isiike, na ndị na-enupu isi.
And YHWH said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked 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.”
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
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?
And Moses besought YHWH his Elohim, and said, YHWH, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty 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 should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against 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, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
14 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gbanwere obi ya. Ọ lakwaghị ha nʼiyi.
And YHWH repented of the evil which he thought to do unto 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.
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; 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 the tables were the work of Elohim, and the writing was the writing of Elohim, graven upon 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 Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
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.”
And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
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.
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
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.
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink 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?”
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon 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.
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my master wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
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.’
For they said unto me, Make us elohim, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
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!”
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
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.
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto 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.
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on YHWH 's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto 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.’”
And he said unto them, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
28 Ndị Livayị mezuru ihe Mosis gwara ha. Ya mere ndị nwụrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ dị puku mmadụ atọ.
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that 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, Consecrate yourselves to day to YHWH, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto YHWH; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
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.
And Moses returned unto YHWH, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them elohim of gold.
32 Ma ugbu a, biko, gbaghara mmehie ha. Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị agbaghara ha, biko hichapụ aha m site nʼakwụkwọ ahụ i dere.”
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book 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.
And YHWH said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
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.”
Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon 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.
And YHWH plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
