Exodus 32
1 Ke mwet uh liye lah Moses el pahtlac in oatui liki fineol uh, elos toeni nu yorol Aaron ac fahk nu sel, “Kut tia etu lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt. Ke ouinge, orala sie god an nu sesr in kol kut.”
Then the people, seeing that Moses made a delay in descending from the mountain, gathered together against Aaron, and said: “Rise up, make us gods, who may go before us. But as for this man Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.”
2 Aaron el fahk nu selos, “Eisla yaring gold ma mutan kiowos, wen nutuwos, ac acn nutuwos elos yaringkin an, ac use nu sik.”
And Aaron said to them, “Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Ouinge mwet nukewa eisla yaring gold lalos ac usla nu yorol Aaron.
And the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings to Aaron.
4 El munanak yaring inge nwe ke kofelik, na el okoala gold uh nu in sie form ma lumahla soko cow fusr mukul. Na mwet uh fahk, “Israel, pa inge god lasr, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt!”
And when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: “These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.”
5 Na Aaron el musaela sie loang ye mutun cow mukul gold soko uh, ac fahkak “Lutu ac fah orek sie kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD.”
And when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, “Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.”
6 Toangna ke lotutang se toko ah, elos usani kosro mwe kisa firir, ac kutu in mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Mwet uh mutani, ac elos nimnim ac oru ouiya na kupatol.
And rising up in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.
7 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Aksaye tufoki, tuh mwet lom su kom kolma liki Egypt elos orala sie ma na koluk.
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go, descend. Your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, have sinned.
8 Elos kuhfla liki ouiyen moul ma nga sapkin nu selos. Elos orala cow mukul soko ke gold ac alu nu kac ac orek kisa nu kac. Elos fahk mu pa inge god lalos su pwanulosme liki Egypt.
They have quickly withdrawn from the way which you revealed to them. And they have made for themselves a molten calf, and they have worshiped it. And immolating victims to it, they have said: ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.’”
9 Nga etu lupan likkeke lun mwet inge.
And again, the Lord said to Moses: “I discern that this people is stiff-necked.
10 Inge, nik kom srike in ikolyu. Nga kasrkusrak selos, ac nga ac kunauselosla. Na nga fah oru tuh kom ac fwil nutum in sie mutunfacl lulap.”
Release me, so that my fury may be enraged against them, and I may destroy them, and then I will make of you a great nation.”
11 Tusruktu Moses el kwafe sin LEUM GOD lal ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, efu ku kom in arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet lom, su kom molelosla liki facl Egypt ke po kulana ac ku lulap lom?
Then Moses prayed to the Lord his God, saying: “Why, O Lord, is your fury enraged against your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with a mighty hand?
12 Efu ku kom oru mwet Egypt in ku in fahk mu ke kom pwanla mwet lom liki acn Egypt kom nuna akoo na in onelosi fineol uh ac kunauselosla nwe ke elos nukewa wanginla? Tulokinya kasrkusrak lom an. Aolla nunak lom ac nimet use mwe ongoiya inge nu fin mwet lom.
I beg you, let not the Egyptians say, ‘He cleverly led them away, so that he could put them to death in the mountains and destroy them from the earth.’ Let your anger be quieted and appeased concerning the wickedness of your people.
13 Esam mwet kulansap lom: Abraham, Isaac ac Jacob. Esam pac wulela ku lom nu selos lah kom ac oru tuh fwilin tulik natulos in pus oana itu inkusrao, ac kom fah sang nu selos acn nukewa su kom wuleang kac tuh in ma selos nwe tok.”
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your very self, saying: ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And this entire land, about which I have spoken, I will give to your offspring. And you shall possess it forever.’”
14 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El aolla nunak lal, ac tiana sang mwe ongoiya nu fin mwet lal oana El tuh akoo in oru.
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
15 Na Moses el forla ac oatui liki fineol uh, ac el us eot tupasrpasr luo ma simla ma sap fac lac lac.
And Moses returned from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
16 God sifacna El orala eot tupasrpasr luo uh ac kihlisya ma sap uh fac.
and accomplished by the work of God. Also, the writing of God was engraved on the tablets.
17 Joshua el lohng pusren wowo lun mwet uh ac el fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga lohng pusren mweun ke nien aktuktuk uh.”
Then Joshua, hearing the tumult of the people shouting, said to Moses: “The outcry of battle is heard in the camp.”
18 Moses el fahk, “Tia pusren sasa in kutangla pa ingan, ku pusren tung ke kutangyukla elos, a pusren on.”
But he responded: “It is not the clamor of men being exhorted to battle, nor the shout of men being compelled to flee. But I hear the voice of singing.”
19 Ke Moses el tuku apkuranyang nu nien aktuktuk uh el liye cow mukul gold soko, ac liye ke mwet uh onsrosro, na el foloyak. El tolya eot tupasrpasr luo uh nu pe eol uh, na eot luo ah fokelik.
And when he had approached to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances. And being very angry, he threw down the tablets from his hand, and he broke them at the base of the mountain.
20 El sruokya cow gold soko elos orala, sang nu ke e ah nwe ke kofelik, na el itungya nwe ke mokutkuti oana powder, ac kurrauk ke kof, na el sang mwet Israel in nim.
And seizing the calf, which they had made, he burnt it and crushed it, even to dust, which he scattered into water. And he gave from it to the sons of Israel to drink.
21 El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Mea mwet inge oru nu sum pwanang kom lela nu selos in oru ma na koluk se inge?”
And he said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, so that you would bring upon them the greatest sin?”
22 Aaron el topuk, “Nimet kasrkusrak sik. Kom etu kuinsrim lun mwet inge nu ke ma koluk.
And he answered him: “Let not my lord be indignant. For you know this people, that they are prone to evil.
23 Elos fahk nu sik, ‘Kut tia etu lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt. Ke ouinge, orala sie god an nu sesr in kol kut.’
They said to me: ‘Make gods for us, who may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.’
24 Nga siyuk elos in use mwe naweyuk gold lalos nu sik, ac elos su oasr yoro elos eisla ac use nu sik. Nga sisang mwe naweyuk inge nu in e ah, na cow mukul soko inge sikyak!”
And I said to them, ‘Which of you has gold?’ And they took it and gave it to me. And I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
25 Moses el liye lah Aaron el fuhlela mwet uh in sukosokla in oru na lungse lalos ac orekma in mwet lalfon ye mutun mwet lokoalok lalos.
Therefore, Moses, seeing that the people were naked (for Aaron had stripped them because of the disgrace of their sordidness, and he had set them naked among their enemies),
26 Ouinge Moses el tu ke acn in utyak nu ke nien aktuktuk ac wowoyak fahk, “Su suwos wi layen lun LEUM GOD? Fahsru nu in se inge!” Na mwet Levi nukewa tukeni nu yorol ac raunella,
and standing at the gate of the camp, said: “If anyone is for the Lord, let him join with me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 ac el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El sapkin tuh kowos nukewa in srukak cutlass nutuwos ac filiya pupowos, ac fahsr sasla ke lohm nuknuk nukewa, mutawauk ke nien utyak uh sasla e layeno, ac kais sie suwos in uniya mukul Israel wiowos, mwet kawuk lowos, ac mwet tulan lowos.”
And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Let a man place his sword at his thigh. Go forth, and then return, from gate to gate, through the midst of the camp, and let each one kill his brother, and friend, and neighbor.”
28 Mwet Levi elos akos, ac uniya akuran tausin tolu mukul Israel ke len sac.
And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there fell on that day about twenty-three thousand men.
29 Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Levi, “Misenge ke kowos uniya wen nutuwos ac tamulel lowos, kowos sifacna akmutalye kowos in fal nu ke orekma lun mwet tol nu sin LEUM GOD, na LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kowos.”
And Moses said: “On this day, you have consecrated your hands to the Lord, each one in his son and in his brother, so that a blessing may be given to you.”
30 Len tok ah Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos tuh orala ma koluk na yohk se. Tusruktu inge nga ac sifil utyak nu fineol uh nu yurin LEUM GOD. Sahp nga ku in eis nunak munas nu ke ma koluk lowos.”
Then, when the next day arrived, Moses spoke to the people: “You have sinned the greatest sin. I will ascend to the Lord. Perhaps, in some way, I might be able to entreat him for your wickedness.”
31 Na Moses el folokla nu yurin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Mwet inge orala ma koluk na yohk se. Elos orala god se ke gold ac alu nu kac.
And returning to the Lord, he said: “I beg you, this people has sinned the greatest sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold. Either release them from this offense,
32 Inge nga kwafe sum in nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos. A kom fin tia, na kom eela inek liki book se su kom simis inen mwet lom loac.”
or, if you do not, then delete me from the book that you have written.”
33 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Elos na su orekma koluk lainyu pa nga fah eela inelos liki book nutik.
And the Lord answered him: “Whoever has sinned against me, him I will delete from my book.
34 Inge fahsrot, kolla mwet uh nu ke acn se nga tuh fahk nu sum kac. Esam lah lipufan luk ac fah pwen kom, tusruktu ke pacl fahsru uh nga fah kalyei mwet inge ke ma koluk lalos.”
But as for you, go and lead this people where I have told you. My angel will go before you. Then, on the day of retribution, I will also visit this sin of theirs.”
35 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El supwama sie mas upa nu fin mwet uh, mweyen elos tuh sap Aaron el orala cow mukul gold soko.
Therefore, the Lord struck the people for the guilt of the calf, which Aaron had made.
