< 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.”
And the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mountain, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say to him, “Rise, make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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 says to them, “Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring [them] to me”;
3 Ouinge mwet nukewa eisla yaring gold lalos ac usla nu yorol Aaron.
and all the people break off the rings of gold which [are] in their ears, and bring [them] 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 he receives [it] from their hand, and fashions it with an engraving tool, and makes it [into] a molten calf, and they say, “These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of 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 Aaron sees, and builds an altar before it, and Aaron calls, and says, “A festival to YHWH—tomorrow”;
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 they rise early on the next day, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring peace-offerings near; and the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise 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.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Go, descend, for your people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt have done corruptly,
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 turned aside from the way that I have commanded them; they have made a molten calf for themselves, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
9 Nga etu lupan likkeke lun mwet inge.
And YHWH says to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a stiff-necked people;
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.”
and now, leave Me alone, and My anger burns against them, and I consume them, and I make you become 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?
And Moses appeases the face of his God YHWH and says, “Why, O YHWH, does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong 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.
Why do the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them out in calamity to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? Turn back from the heat of Your anger, and relent from this calamity against 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.”
Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Your servants, to whom You have sworn by Yourself, and to whom You speak: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and they have inherited [it] for all time”;
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 YHWH relents from the evil which He has spoken of doing to 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 turns, and goes down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony [are] in his hand, tablets written on both their sides; they [are] written on this [side] and on that [side];
16 God sifacna El orala eot tupasrpasr luo uh ac kihlisya ma sap uh fac.
and the tablets are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, 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.”
And Joshua hears the voice of the people in their shouting and says to Moses, “A noise of battle in the camp!”
18 Moses el fahk, “Tia pusren sasa in kutangla pa ingan, ku pusren tung ke kutangyukla elos, a pusren on.”
And he says, “It is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness—I am hearing a 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 it comes to pass, when he has drawn near to the camp, that he sees the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burns, and he casts the tablets out of his hands, and breaks them below 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 he takes the calf which they have made, and burns [it] with fire, and grinds [it] until [it is] small, and scatters [it] on the face of the waters, and causes 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 Moses says to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, that you have brought in a great sin on it?”
22 Aaron el topuk, “Nimet kasrkusrak sik. Kom etu kuinsrim lun mwet inge nu ke ma koluk.
And Aaron says, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you have known the people, that it [is beset] with 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.’
and they say to me, Make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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 say to them, Whoever has gold, let them break [it] off, and they give [it] to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf comes 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.
And Moses sees the people, that it [is] unbridled, for Aaron has made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders,
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 Moses stands in the gate of the camp and says, “Who [is] for YHWH? [Come] to me!” And all the sons of Levi are gathered 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 says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Each put his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and each slay his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.”
28 Mwet Levi elos akos, ac uniya akuran tausin tolu mukul Israel ke len sac.
And the sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses, and there falls of the people on that day about 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 says, “Consecrate your hand to YHWH today, for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring a blessing on you today.”
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.”
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses says to the people, “You have sinned a great sin, and now I go up to YHWH, perhaps I can atone for your sin.”
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 Moses turns back to YHWH and says, “Ah, now this people has sinned a great sin, that they make a god of gold for themselves;
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.”
and now, if You take away their sin—and if not—please blot me out of Your scroll which You have written.”
33 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Elos na su orekma koluk lainyu pa nga fah eela inelos liki book nutik.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me—I blot him out of My scroll;
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.”
and now, go, lead the people wherever I have spoken to you of; behold, My Messenger goes before you, and in the day of my charging—then I have charged their sin on them.”
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.
And YHWH plagues the people because they made the calf which Aaron made.
