Okuva 32
1 Abantu bwe baalaba nga Musa aluddeyo nnyo ku lusozi, ne bakuŋŋaanira awali Alooni, ne bamugamba nti, “Jjangu, otukolere bakatonda abanaatukulembera; kubanga Musa ono eyatuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, tetumanyi kimutuuseeko.”
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
2 Alooni n’abaddamu nti, “Mwambule empeta eza zaabu, bakyala bammwe, ne batabani bammwe, ne bawala bammwe ze bambadde ku matu gaabwe, muzindeetere.”
And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Awo abantu bonna ne beenaanulako empeta zaabwe eza zaabu ez’oku matu, ne bazireetera Alooni.
And all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Alooni n’azisaanuusa; zaabu eyavaamu n’agibumbamu ennyana, ng’agirongoosa n’ekyuma. Ne balyoka boogera nti, “Bano be bakatonda bo ggwe Isirayiri abaakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri!”
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a engraving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
5 Alooni bwe yalaba ebyo, n’azimba ekyoto mu maaso g’ennyana, n’alyoka alangirira nti, “Enkya tujja kukolera Mukama embaga.”
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 Awo enkeera, abantu ne bazuukuka mu makya, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ne baleeta n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe; ne batuula ne balya era ne banywa, ne basituka ne bakola effujjo.
And they rose up 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 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Serengeta, kubanga abantu bo be waggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri boonoonye;
And the LORD said to Moses, Go, get you down; for your people, which you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8 bavudde mangu mu kkubo lye nabalagira; beekoledde ennyana ensaanuuse ne bagisinza, ne bagireetera ebiweebwayo, ne boogera nti, ‘Bano be bakatonda bo, ggwe Isirayiri, abaakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri!’”
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
9 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Abantu bano mbalabye, era ndabye nga bakakanyavu.
And the LORD said to Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff necked people:
10 Kale, kaakano ndeka obusungu bwange bubabuubuukireko, mbazikirize; kyokka ggwe ndikufuula eggwanga ekkulu.”
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of you a great nation.
11 Naye Musa ne yeegayirira Mukama Katonda we, n’agamba nti, “Lwaki obusungu bwo bubuubuukira abantu bo be waggya mu nsi y’e Misiri n’obuyinza, awamu n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi?
And Moses sought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why does your wrath wax hot against your people, which you have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Lwaki okwogeza Abamisiri nti, ‘Yabatwala ng’agenderedde kubakola kabi, abattire mu nsozi, abazikirize, bave ku nsi?’ Nyiigulukuka, obusungu obubuubuuka bukuveeko, oleme kuleeta bulabe ku bantu bo.
Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.
13 Jjukira abaweereza bo Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Isirayiri, be walayirira ggwe kennyini, n’obagamba nti, ‘Ndyaza bazzukulu bammwe ng’emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu, era n’ensi eno gye mbasuubizza ndigiwa bazzukulu bammwe, era eribeera omugabo gwammwe ennaku zonna.’”
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said 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 Mukama akabi ke yali ategese okukola abantu be n’atakaleeta.
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people.
15 Awo Musa n’aserengeta okuva ku lusozi ng’akutte mu mikono gye ebipande ebibiri eby’Endagaano, nga biwandiikiddwako ku njuyi zombi.
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 Ebipande byakolebwa Katonda, n’ebiwandiike ebyaliko byali bya Katonda, nga ye yabisala ku bipande ebyo.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven on the tables.
17 Yoswa bwe yawulira oluyoogaano lw’abantu nga baleekaana, n’agamba Musa nti, “Mu lusiisira eriyo okuyoogaana ng’okw’olutalo.”
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 Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Siwulira maloboozi galeekaana olw’obuwanguzi, oba amaloboozi g’okwaziirana olw’okuwangulwa, naye maloboozi ga kuyimba ge mpulira.”
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 Naye Musa bwe yasemberera olusiisira, n’alengera ennyana, n’alaba n’amazina; obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka, n’asuula eri ebipande ebyali mu mikono gye, ne bimenyekera awo wansi w’olusozi.
And it came to pass, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
20 N’addira ennyana gye baali bakoze n’agyokya mu muliro n’agisekulasekula, n’agimerungulira ddala ng’olufuufu; olufuufu n’alumansa ku mazzi n’agawa abaana ba Isirayiri ne baganywa.
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Abantu bano baakukoze ki, n’obaleetera okwonoona ennyo bwe batyo?”
And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to you, that you have brought so great a sin on them?
22 Alooni n’amuddamu nti, “Tonnyiigira nnyo, mukama wange, naawe abantu bano obamanyi, ng’emitima gyabwe bwe gyamanyiira okwonoona.
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: you know the people, that they are set on mischief.
23 Baŋŋambye nti, ‘Tukolere bakatonda abanaatukulembera kubanga Musa ono eyatuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, tetumanyi kimutuuseeko.’
For they said to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
24 Nange kwe kubagamba nti, ‘Buli alina ebya zaabu abyeyambuleko,’ ne babimpa ne mbiteeka mu muliro, ne bivaamu ennyana eno.”
And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 Awo Musa bwe yalaba ng’abantu basasamadde, nga Alooni yali abalese ne basasamala, era ng’abalabe baabwe babasekerera,
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked to their shame among their enemies: )
26 n’ayimirira mu mulyango gw’olusiisira, n’agamba nti, “Ani ali ku ludda lwa Mukama? Ajje wano we ndi.” Awo batabani ba Leevi bonna ne bakuŋŋaanira w’ali.
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 gathered themselves together to him.
27 N’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bw’ayogera nti, ‘Buli musajja yeesibe ekitala kye mu kiwato kye, muyiteeyite mu nsiisira okuva ku ludda olumu okutuuka ku ludda olulala, nga buli musajja atta muganda we ne mukwano gwe, ne muliraanwa we.’”
And he said to them, Thus says 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 Abaleevi ne bakola nga Musa bwe yabalagira; era ku lunaku olwo abantu ng’enkumi ssatu ne battibwa.
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 Awo Musa n’agamba nti, “Mwawuddwa leero eri Mukama, bwe musse buli omu mutabani we, era ne muganda we; Mukama abawadde omukisa ku lunaku lwa leero.”
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man on his son, and on his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day.
30 Enkeera Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Mwonoonye nnyo. Naye nze ka ŋŋende eri Mukama ndabe obanga nnaatangiririra ekibi kyammwe.”
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 Bw’atyo Musa n’addayo eri Mukama, n’agamba nti, “Kitalo! Abantu bano nga boonoonye nnyo; bwe beekoledde bakatonda aba zaabu!
And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Bw’oba osiima basonyiwe ekibi kyabwe; naye bwe kitaba kityo, nkwegayirira onsangule mu kitabo kyo ky’owandiise.”
Yet now, if you will forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray you, out of your book which you have written.
33 Naye Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Oyo yekka ankozeeko ekibi gwe ndisangula mu kitabo kyange.
And the LORD said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34 Kaakano genda otwale abantu mu kifo ekyo kye nakutegeeza; era, laba, malayika wange ajja kukukulembera. Naye ekiseera nga kituuse okubabonereza ndibabonerereza ddala olw’ekibi kyabwe.”
Therefore now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you: behold, my Angel shall go before you: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin on them.
35 Awo Mukama n’aleetera abantu kawumpuli, kubanga beekolera ennyana, Alooni gye yababumbira.
And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
