Exodo 32
1 Idi nakita dagiti tattao a nabayagan ni Moises iti isasalogna manipud iti bantay, nagu-ummongda iti aglawlaw ni Aaron ket kinunada kenkuana, “Umayka, mangaramidka iti maysa a didiosen a mangidaulo kadakami. Ta daytoy a Moises, ti lalaki a nangirruar kadakami manipud iti daga ti Egipto, saanmi nga ammo ti napasamak kenkuana.”
[(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 Isu a kinuna ni Aaron kadakuada, “Ikkatenyo dagiti singsing a balitok nga adda kadagiti lapayag dagiti assawayo a babbai, annakyo a lallaki ken dagiti annakyo a babbai ket iyegyo dagitoy kaniak.”
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 Inikkat dagiti amin a tattao dagiti singsing a balitok nga adda kadagiti lapayagda ket impanda dagitoy kenni Aaron.
So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Inawatna dagiti balitok manipud kadakuada, ket hinormana daytoy iti paghormaan ket pinormana daytoy a sinan-baka. Kalpasanna, kinuna dagiti tattao, “Israel, daytoy ti diosyo a nangirruar kadakayo iti daga ti Egipto.”
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 Idi nakita ni Aaron daytoy, nangaramid isuna iti maysa nga altar iti sangoanan ti sinan-baka ket inwaragawagna; kinunana, “Inton bigat ket maysa a piesta a panagdayaw kenni Yahweh.”
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 Nasapa a bimmangon dagiti tattao iti kinabigatanna ket nangisagutda kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken nangiyegda kadagiti daton iti panagkakadua. Kalpasanna, nagtugawda tapno mangan ken uminom ket kalpasanna timmakderda tapno agbabartekda iti nalabes a panagrambak.
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 Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Mapanka a dagus ta dagiti tattaom, nga indauloam nga inruar iti daga ti Egipto ket dinadaelda dagiti bagbagida.
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 Pinanawanda a dagus ti dalan nga imbilinko kadakuada. Nangpormada para iti bagida iti sinan-baka ket nagrukbab ken nangidatonda iti daytoy. Kinunada, 'Israel, daytoy ti diosyo a nangiruar kadakayo manipud iti daga ti Egipto.'”
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 Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Nakitakon dagitoy a tattao. Kitaem, natangken ti uloda a tattao.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
10 Ita ngarud, saannak a lapdan. Gumilgil-ayab ti pungtotko kadakuada isu a dadaelek ida. Ket mangaramidak iti dakkel a nasion manipud kenka.”
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 Ngem dinawat ni Moises kenni Yahweh a Diosna a saan nga agpungtot. Kinunana, “Yahweh, apay a bumara ti pungtotmo kadagiti tattaom nga inruarmo manipud iti daga ti Egipto nga addaan iti naindaklan a pannakabalin ken nabileg nga ima?
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 Apay a nasken nga ibaga dagiti Egipcio, 'Indalanna ida a rimuar manipud iti Egipto nga addaan iti dakes a panggep, tapno papatayenna ida iti kabanbantayan ken tapno dadaelenna ida iti rabaw ti daga?' Ibaw-ingmo ti gumilgil-ayab a pungtotmo ket ibabawim ti panangdusam kadagiti tattaom.
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 Lagipem dagiti adipenmo nga Abraham, Isaac ken ni Israel, a mismo a nagikariam ken kinunam kadakuada, “Paadduekto dagiti kaputotanyo a kas kaadu dagiti bituen idiay langit, ken itedkonto kadagiti kaputotanyo amin daytoy a daga nga imbagak. Tawidendanto daytoy iti agnanayon.”
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 Ket imbabawi ni Yahweh ti kinunana a pannusa nga ipalak-amna kadagiti tattaona.
So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
15 Kalpasanna, timmallikod ni Moises ket simmalog manipud iti bantay nga awit-awitna ti dua a tapi a bato nga ayan dagiti tulag. Agsinnumbangir a nasuratan dagiti tapi a bato, iti sangoanan ken iti likudan.
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 Mismo a ti Dios ti nangaramid kadagiti tapi a bato, ken dagiti suratna ket mismo a ti Dios ti nangisurat iti naikitikit kadagiti tapi a bato.
God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
17 Idi nangngeg ni Josue ti ariwawa dagiti tattao nga agpupukkaw, kinunana kenni Moises, “Adda ti ariwawa ti aggugubat iti kampo.”
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 Ngem kinuna ni Moises, “Saan nga ariwawa iti panagballigi, ken saan met nga ariwawa ti naabak a tattao ngem ti timek ti agkakanta ti mangngegko.”
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 Idi asidegen ni Moises iti kampo, nakitana ti sinan-baka ken dagiti agsasala a tattao. Nakapungtot isuna iti kasta unay. Imbarsakna dagiti tapi a bato ken binurakburakna dagitoy iti sakaanan ti bantay.
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 Innalana ti sinan-baka nga inaramid dagiti tattao, pinuoranna ken binurakburakna agingga a nagbalin daytoy a pulbos ket imbukbokna daytoy iti danum. Ket impainumna daytoy kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
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 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Moises kenni Aaron, “Ania ti inaramid dagitoy a tattao kenka, a nangiyegka iti kasta kadakkel a basol kadakuada?”
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 Kinuna ni Aaron, “Saanka koma nga agpungtot iti kasta unay, apok. Am-ammom dagitoy a tattao, no kasanoda a nairuam nga agaramid iti kinadakes.
Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
23 Kinunada kaniak, ''Iyaramidannakami iti dios a mangidaulo kadakami. Maipanggep iti daytoy a Moises, ti tao a nangidaulo kadakami a rimmuar manipud iti daga ti Egipto, saanmi nga ammo ti napasamak kenkuana.'
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 Isu a kinunak kadakuada, 'Siasinoman nga addaan iti aniaman a balitok, ikkatenna koma daytoy. Intedda kaniak dagiti balitok ket impuruakko iti apuy ket nagbanag a sinan-baka.'”
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 Nakita ni Moises nga agkakaribuso dagiti tattao, ta binay-an ida ni Aaron nga aglablabes, tapno laisen ida dagiti kabusorda.
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 Kalpasanna, nagtakder ni Moises iti pagserkan ti kampo ket kinunana, “Siasinoman nga agtulnog kenni Yahweh, umay kaniak.” Nagummong dagiti amin a Levita iti aglawlawna.
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 Kinunana kadakuada, “Ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, imbagana daytoy, 'Ikabil koma ti tunggal maysa dagiti kampilan iti sikiganda ket mapan ken agsubli iti tunggal pagserkan iti entero a kampo ket papatayenna ti kabsatna, ti kaduana ken ti kaarrubana.'”
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 Inaramid dagiti Levita ti imbilin ni Moises. Agarup tallo ribu a lallaki manipud kadagiti tattao ti natay iti dayta nga aldaw.
The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
29 Kinuna ni Moises kadagiti Levita, “Ita nga aldaw, naisaadkayon nga agserbi kenni Yahweh, ta tunggal maysa kadakayo ket binusorna ti kabsatna, isu nga inikkannakayo ni Yahweh iti bendision ita nga aldaw.”
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 Iti simmaruno nga aldaw kinuna ni Moises kadagiti tattao, “Nakaaramidkayo iti dakkel unay a basol. Ita sumang-atak kenni Yahweh. Nalabit a mabalin a mangaramidak iti pakapakawanan dagiti basolyo.”
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 Nagsubli ngarud ni Moises kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Nakaaramid dagitoy a tattao iti dakkel a basol ken nangaramidda iti didiosen a balitok.
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 Ngem ita, pangngaasim ta pakawanem dagiti basolda; ngem no saan, ikkatennak iti libro nga insuratmo.”
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 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Siasinoman a nakabasol kaniak, dayta a tao ti ikkatek iti librok.
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
34 Isu nga ita, mapanka ket idauloam dagiti tattao iti lugar nga imbagak kenka. Kitaem, umun-unanto kenka ti anghelko. Ngem iti aldaw a dusaek ida, dusaekto ida gapu iti basolda.”
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 Ket nangibaon ni Yahweh iti didigra kadagiti tattao gapu ta nangaramidda iti sinan-baka, ti inaramid ni Aaron.
[Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
