Keluaran 32
1 Ketika bangsa itu melihat, bahwa Musa mengundur-undurkan turun dari gunung itu, maka berkumpullah mereka mengerumuni Harun dan berkata kepadanya: "Mari, buatlah untuk kami allah, yang akan berjalan di depan kami sebab Musa ini, orang yang telah memimpin kami keluar dari tanah Mesir--kami tidak tahu apa yang telah terjadi dengan dia."
[(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 Lalu berkatalah Harun kepada mereka: "Tanggalkanlah anting-anting emas yang ada pada telinga isterimu, anakmu laki-laki dan perempuan, dan bawalah semuanya kepadaku."
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 Lalu seluruh bangsa itu menanggalkan anting-anting emas yang ada pada telinga mereka dan membawanya kepada Harun.
So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Diterimanyalah itu dari tangan mereka, dibentuknya dengan pahat, dan dibuatnyalah dari padanya anak lembu tuangan. Kemudian berkatalah mereka: "Hai Israel, inilah Allahmu, yang telah menuntun engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir!"
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 Ketika Harun melihat itu, didirikannyalah mezbah di depan anak lembu itu. Berserulah Harun, katanya: "Besok hari raya bagi TUHAN!"
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 Dan keesokan harinya pagi-pagi maka mereka mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan, sesudah itu duduklah bangsa itu untuk makan dan minum; kemudian bangunlah mereka dan bersukaria.
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 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Pergilah, turunlah, sebab bangsamu yang kaupimpin keluar dari tanah Mesir telah rusak lakunya.
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 Segera juga mereka menyimpang dari jalan yang Kuperintahkan kepada mereka; mereka telah membuat anak lembu tuangan, dan kepadanya mereka sujud menyembah dan mempersembahkan korban, sambil berkata: Hai Israel, inilah Allahmu yang telah menuntun engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir."
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 Lagi firman TUHAN kepada Musa: "Telah Kulihat bangsa ini dan sesungguhnya mereka adalah suatu bangsa yang tegar tengkuk.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
10 Oleh sebab itu biarkanlah Aku, supaya murka-Ku bangkit terhadap mereka dan Aku akan membinasakan mereka, tetapi engkau akan Kubuat menjadi bangsa yang besar."
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 Lalu Musa mencoba melunakkan hati TUHAN, Allahnya, dengan berkata: "Mengapakah, TUHAN, murka-Mu bangkit terhadap umat-Mu, yang telah Kaubawa keluar dari tanah Mesir dengan kekuatan yang besar dan dengan tangan yang kuat?
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 Mengapakah orang Mesir akan berkata: Dia membawa mereka keluar dengan maksud menimpakan malapetaka kepada mereka dan membunuh mereka di gunung dan membinasakannya dari muka bumi? Berbaliklah dari murka-Mu yang bernyala-nyala itu dan menyesallah karena malapetaka yang hendak Kaudatangkan kepada umat-Mu.
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 Ingatlah kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Israel, hamba-hamba-Mu itu, sebab kepada mereka Engkau telah bersumpah demi diri-Mu sendiri dengan berfirman kepada mereka: Aku akan membuat keturunanmu sebanyak bintang di langit, dan seluruh negeri yang telah Kujanjikan ini akan Kuberikan kepada keturunanmu, supaya dimilikinya untuk selama-lamanya."
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 Dan menyesallah TUHAN karena malapetaka yang dirancangkan-Nya atas umat-Nya.
So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
15 Setelah itu berpalinglah Musa, lalu turun dari gunung dengan kedua loh hukum Allah dalam tangannya, loh-loh yang bertulis pada kedua sisinya; bertulis sebelah-menyebelah.
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 Kedua loh itu ialah pekerjaan Allah dan tulisan itu ialah tulisan Allah, ditukik pada loh-loh itu.
God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
17 Ketika Yosua mendengar suara bangsa itu bersorak, berkatalah ia kepada Musa: "Ada bunyi sorak peperangan kedengaran di perkemahan."
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 Tetapi jawab Musa: "Bukan bunyi nyanyian kemenangan, bukan bunyi nyanyian kekalahan--bunyi orang menyanyi berbalas-balasan, itulah yang kudengar."
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 Dan ketika ia dekat ke perkemahan itu dan melihat anak lembu dan melihat orang menari-nari, maka bangkitlah amarah Musa; dilemparkannyalah kedua loh itu dari tangannya dan dipecahkannya pada kaki gunung itu.
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 Sesudah itu diambilnyalah anak lembu yang dibuat mereka itu, dibakarnya dengan api dan digilingnya sampai halus, kemudian ditaburkannya ke atas air dan disuruhnya diminum oleh orang 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 Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada Harun: "Apakah yang dilakukan bangsa ini kepadamu, sehingga engkau mendatangkan dosa yang sebesar itu kepada mereka?"
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 Tetapi jawab Harun: "Janganlah bangkit amarah tuanku; engkau sendiri tahu, bahwa bangsa ini jahat semata-mata.
Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
23 Mereka berkata kepadaku: Buatlah untuk kami allah, yang akan berjalan di depan kami sebab Musa ini, orang yang telah memimpin kami keluar dari tanah Mesir--kami tidak tahu apa yang telah terjadi dengan dia.
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 Lalu aku berkata kepada mereka: Siapa yang empunya emas haruslah menanggalkannya. Mereka memberikannya kepadaku dan aku melemparkannya ke dalam api, dan keluarlah anak lembu ini."
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 Ketika Musa melihat, bahwa bangsa itu seperti kuda terlepas dari kandang--sebab Harun telah melepaskannya, sampai menjadi buah cemooh bagi lawan mereka--
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 maka berdirilah Musa di pintu gerbang perkemahan itu serta berkata: "Siapa yang memihak kepada TUHAN datanglah kepadaku!" Lalu berkumpullah kepadanya seluruh bani Lewi.
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 Berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Baiklah kamu masing-masing mengikatkan pedangnya pada pinggangnya dan berjalanlah kian ke mari melalui perkemahan itu dari pintu gerbang ke pintu gerbang, dan biarlah masing-masing membunuh saudaranya dan temannya dan tetangganya."
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 Bani Lewi melakukan seperti yang dikatakan Musa dan pada hari itu tewaslah kira-kira tiga ribu orang dari bangsa itu.
The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
29 Kemudian berkatalah Musa: "Baktikanlah dirimu mulai hari ini kepada TUHAN, masing-masing dengan membayarkan jiwa anaknya laki-laki dan saudaranya--yakni supaya kamu diberi berkat pada hari ini."
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 Keesokan harinya berkatalah Musa kepada bangsa itu: "Kamu ini telah berbuat dosa besar, tetapi sekarang aku akan naik menghadap TUHAN, mungkin aku akan dapat mengadakan pendamaian karena dosamu itu."
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 Lalu kembalilah Musa menghadap TUHAN dan berkata: "Ah, bangsa ini telah berbuat dosa besar, sebab mereka telah membuat allah emas bagi mereka.
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 Tetapi sekarang, kiranya Engkau mengampuni dosa mereka itu--dan jika tidak, hapuskanlah kiranya namaku dari dalam kitab yang telah Kautulis."
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 Tetapi TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Siapa yang berdosa kepada-Ku, nama orang itulah yang akan Kuhapuskan dari dalam kitab-Ku.
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
34 Tetapi pergilah sekarang, tuntunlah bangsa itu ke tempat yang telah Kusebutkan kepadamu; akan berjalan malaikat-Ku di depanmu, tetapi pada hari pembalasan-Ku itu Aku akan membalaskan dosa mereka kepada mereka."
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 Demikianlah TUHAN menulahi bangsa itu, karena mereka telah menyuruh membuat anak lembu buatan Harun itu.
[Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
