< Keluaran 32 >
1 Waktu bangsa Israel melihat bahwa Musa lama sekali tidak turun dari gunung, tetapi masih di sana juga, mereka mengerumuni Harun dan berkata kepadanya, "Kita tidak tahu apa yang terjadi dengan Musa, orang yang telah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir; jadi buatlah untuk kami ilah yang akan memimpin kami."
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people assembled themselves to Aaron, and said to him, Arise, make us gods which shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
2 Lalu Harun berkata kepada mereka, "Lepaskanlah anting-anting emas yang dipakai istri-istri dan anak-anakmu, dan bawalah kepadaku."
And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden ear-rings which [are] in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring [them] to me.
3 Maka mereka melepaskan anting-anting emas masing-masing dan membawanya kepada Harun.
And all the people broke off the golden ear-rings which [were] in their ears, and brought [them] to Aaron.
4 Harun mengambil anting-anting itu, lalu dileburnya dan dituangnya ke dalam sebuah cetakan dan dibuatnya sebuah patung sapi. Bangsa itu berkata, "Hai Israel, inilah ilah kita yang mengantar kita keluar dari Mesir!"
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 are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
5 Lalu Harun mendirikan sebuah mezbah di depan sapi emas itu dan mengumumkan, "Besok ada pesta untuk menghormati TUHAN."
And when Aaron saw [it], he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow [is] a feast to the LORD.
6 Besoknya pagi-pagi sekali, orang-orang Israel membawa beberapa ekor ternak untuk kurban bakaran, dan beberapa ekor lagi untuk kurban perdamaian. Mereka duduk makan dan minum, lalu bangkit untuk bersenang-senang.
And they rose 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 Maka TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Turunlah segera, sebab bangsamu yang kaupimpin keluar dari Mesir sudah berbuat jahat.
And the LORD said to Moses, Go, go down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted [themselves]:
8 Mereka sudah menyimpang dari perintah-perintah-Ku. Mereka membuat patung sapi dari emas tuangan, lalu menyembahnya dan mempersembahkan kurban kepadanya. Kata mereka, itulah ilah mereka yang membawa mereka keluar dari Mesir.
They have turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
9 Aku tahu bahwa bangsa itu amat keras kepala.
And the LORD said to Moses, I have seen this people, and behold it [is] a stiff-necked people:
10 Jangan coba menghalangi Aku. Aku marah kepada mereka dan hendak membinasakan mereka. Tapi engkau dan keturunanmu akan Kujadikan suatu bangsa yang besar."
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 Musa memohon kepada TUHAN Allahnya, katanya, "TUHAN, mengapa Engkau harus berbuat begitu kepada mereka? Bukankah Engkau telah menyelamatkan mereka dari Mesir dengan kekuasaan dan kekuatan yang besar?
And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth from the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Kalau Engkau membinasakan mereka, orang Mesir akan berkata bahwa Engkau memimpin bangsa itu keluar dari Mesir untuk membunuh mereka di pegunungan dan membinasakan mereka sama sekali. Janganlah begitu, ya TUHAN, ubahlah niat-Mu dan janganlah mencelakakan bangsa itu.
Why should the Egyptians speak and say, For evil 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 Ingatlah kepada hamba-hamba-Mu Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub. Ingatlah bahwa Engkau berjanji dengan sumpah untuk memberi mereka keturunan sebanyak bintang di langit, juga bahwa seluruh tanah yang Kaujanjikan itu akan menjadi milik keturunan mereka untuk selama-lamanya."
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit [it] for ever.
14 Maka TUHAN mengubah niat-Nya dan tidak jadi melaksanakan ancaman-Nya untuk menimpa bangsa itu dengan malapetaka.
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people.
15 Musa turun kembali dari gunung itu membawa kedua batu yang bertuliskan perintah-perintah Allah pada kedua sisinya.
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 Allah sendiri telah membuat batu itu dan mengukirkan perintah-perintah-Ny di situ.
And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing [was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
17 Sementara berjalan turun, Yosua mendengar orang-orang Israel berteriak-teriak, lalu berkatalah ia kepada Musa, "Ada keributan pertempuran di perkemahan."
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp.
18 Kata Musa, "Kedengarannya bukan seperti sorak kemenangan atau teriak kekalahan; itu suara orang bernyanyi."
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 Ketika Musa sudah dekat ke perkemahan itu, dilihatnya sapi emas itu dan orang-orang sedang menari-nari, maka marahlah ia. Di situ juga, di kaki gunung itu, Musa membanting batu yang dibawanya itu sampai hancur berkeping-keping.
And it came to pass as soon as he came nigh to the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses's anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables from his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
20 Kemudian diambilnya patung sapi buatan orang-orang Israel itu, dileburnya, ditumbuknya sampai halus seperti debu, lalu dicampurnya dengan air. Kemudian disuruhnya orang Israel meminumnya.
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in the fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strewed [it] upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink [of it].
21 Ia berkata kepada Harun, "Apa yang mereka buat kepadamu sehingga kaubiarkan mereka berdosa besar?"
And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 Jawab Harun, "Jangan marah kepada saya; engkau tahu sendiri bagaimana nekatnya orang-orang ini untuk berbuat jahat.
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people that they [are set] on mischief.
23 Mereka berkata kepadaku, 'Kita tidak tahu apa yang terjadi dengan Musa, orang yang telah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir; jadi buatlah untuk kami ilah yang dapat memimpin kami.'
For they said to me, Make us gods which shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
24 Saya menyuruh mereka menyerahkan perhiasan emas, lalu mereka menyerahkannya kepada saya. Semua perhiasan itu saya masukkan ke dalam api, lalu jadilah sapi ini!"
And I said to them, Whoever hath any gold, let them break [it] off: So they gave [it] to me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 Musa menyadari bahwa Harun telah membiarkan bangsa Israel seperti kuda lepas dari kandang, sehingga mereka menjadi bahan tertawaan bagi musuh-musuh mereka.
And when Moses saw that the people [were] naked (for Aaron had made them naked to [their] shame, among their enemies: )
26 Maka berdirilah ia di depan pintu gerbang perkemahan dan berteriak, "Siapa yang memihak kepada TUHAN harus datang ke mari!" Maka datanglah suku Lewi mengelilingi Musa,
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the LORD'S side? [let him come] to me. And all the sons of Levi assembled themselves to him.
27 dan ia berkata kepada mereka, "TUHAN Allah Israel memerintahkan kamu masing-masing untuk mencabut pedangmu dan berjalan melalui perkemahan ini, dari gerbang ini sampai ke gerbang yang lain sambil membunuh saudara-saudara, sahabat-sahabat dan tetangga-tetanggamu."
And he said to them, Thus saith the LORD God 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 neighbor.
28 Suku Lewi melakukan perintah itu dan pada hari itu kira-kira tiga ribu orang mati dibunuh.
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 Kata Musa kepada suku Lewi, "Hari ini kamu sudah mengkhususkan diri menjadi imam yang melayani TUHAN dengan membunuh anak-anak dan saudara-saudaramu, maka TUHAN memberi berkat-Nya kepadamu."
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
30 Besoknya Musa berkata kepada bangsa itu, "Kamu telah melakukan dosa besar. Tetapi sekarang saya akan mendaki gunung itu lagi untuk menghadap TUHAN; mudah-mudahan saya mendapat pengampunan untuk dosamu."
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to the LORD; it may be I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 Lalu Musa pergi lagi menghadap TUHAN dan berkata, "Bangsa itu sudah melakukan dosa besar. Mereka membuat ilah dari emas.
And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Sudilah kiranya mengampuni dosa mereka; kalau tidak, hapuslah nama saya dari buku orang-orang hidup."
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 TUHAN menjawab, "Hanya orang-orang yang telah berdosa terhadap-Ku akan Kuhapus namanya dari buku itu.
And the LORD said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34 Pergilah sekarang, dan bawalah mereka itu ke tempat yang telah Kusebut kepadamu. Malaikat-Ku akan membimbingmu, tetapi saatnya akan datang orang-orang itu Kuhukum karena dosa-dosa mereka."
Therefore now go, lead the people to [the place] of which I have spoken to thee: Behold, my angel shall go before thee: Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.
35 Lalu TUHAN mendatangkan bencana kepada orang-orang itu karena mereka memaksa Harun membuat patung sapi emas itu.
And the LORD afflicted the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.
