Ekoruhe 32
1 A, no te kitenga o te iwi i roa te hekenga iho o Mohi i runga i te maunga, ka huihui te iwi ki a Arona, ka mea ki a ia, Whakatika, hanga etahi atua mo tatou, hei haere i mua i a tatou; ko tenei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nana tatou i kawe mai ki ru nga nei i te whenua o Ihipa, kahore tatou e mohio kua ahatia ranei ia.
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what is become of him.
2 Na ka mea a Arona ki a ratou, Whakiia mai nga whakakai koura i nga taringa o a koutou wahine, o a koutou tama, o a koutou tamahine, ka kawe mai ki ahau.
And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Na whakiia ana e te iwi katoa nga whakakai koura i o ratou taringa, a kawea ana mai ki a Arona.
And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Na ka tangohia e ia i o ratou ringa, a whakaahuatia ana e ia ki te purupuru tana kuao kau i whakarewa ai: na ka mea ratou, Ko ou atua enei, e Iharaira, nana nei koe i kawe mai ki runga nei i te whenua o Ihipa.
And he received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 A, no te kitenga o Arona, hanga ana e ia tetahi aata ki mua i taua mea; a ka karanga a Arona, ka mea, Ko apopo he hakari ki a Ihowa.
And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
6 Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te aonga ake, a whakaekea ana he tahunga tinana, i kawea ano he whakahere mo te pai; na ka noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, a ka whakatika ki te takaro.
And having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt-offerings, and offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere, heke atu, kua he hoki tou iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Ihipa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for thy people whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt have transgressed;
8 Kua hohoro ratou te peka ke i te huarahi i kiia e ahau ki a ratou: kua hanga ma ratou he kuao kau, he mea whakarewa, kua koropiko ki taua mea, kua patu whakahere mana, a e mea ana, Ko ou atua enei, e Iharaira, i kawea mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihi pa.
they have quickly gone out of the way which thou commandedst; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said,
9 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kua kite ahau i tenei iwi, na, he iwi kaki maro ratou:
These are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
10 Na, tukua atu ahau, a ka mura toku riri ki a ratou, a ka pau ratou i ahau: ka hanga ano koe hei iwi nui.
And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make thee a great nation.
11 Na ka inoi a Mohi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ka mea, He aha tou riri i mura ai, e Ihowa, ki tau iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o ihipa i runga i te kaha nui, i te ringa maro?
And Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Wherefore, O Lord, art thou very angry with thy people, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt with great strength, and with thy high arm?
12 Ha, kia korero nga Ihipiana, kia mea, He whakaputanga atu ki te he tana i a ratou, kia whakamatea ai ratou ki nga maunga, kia whakangaromia atu ai i te mata o te whenua? Tahuri i tou riri nui e mura nei, kia puta ke hoki tou whakaaro ki tenei ki no mo tau iwi.
[Take heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he brought them out to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from off the earth; cease from thy wrathful anger, and be merciful to the sin of thy people,
13 Kia mahara ki au pononga, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Iharaira, ki tau oatitanga hoki i a koe ki a ratou, ki tau meatanga ki a ratou, Ka whakanuia e ahau o koutou uri kia rite ki nga whetu o te rangi; ko tenei whenua katoa hoki i korerotia atu nei e ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ki o koutou uri, a ka nohoia e ratou ake ake.
remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob thy servants, to whom thou hast sworn by thyself, and hast spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which thou spokest of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever.
14 Na ka puta ke ta Ihowa i whakaaro ai mo te kino i kiia e ia kia meatia ki tana iwi.
And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
15 Na ka tahuri a Mohi, ka heke iho i te maunga, me nga papa e rua o te whakaaturanga i tona ringa: he mea tuhi nga taha e rua o nga papa; i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha te tuhi.
And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their sides: they were written within and without.
16 He mea mahi hoki na te Atua aua papa, me te tuihituhi hoki, na te Atua te tuhituhi, he mea whaowhao ki nga papa.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
17 A ka rongo a Hohua i te reo o te iwi e hamama ana, ka mea ki a Mohi, He nge whawhai kei te puni ra.
And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 Na ka mea ia, Ehara tera reo i te hamama mo te hinganga o te taua, ehara hoki tera reo i te hamama o te hunga e hinga ana: he reo waiata taku e rongo nei.
And [Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear.
19 A ka tata ia ki te puni, na, ka kite ia i te kuao kau, i te kanikani: na ka mura te riri o Mohi, a ka maka atu e ia nga papa i roto i ona ringa, a pakarua ana aua mea e ia i raro i te maunga.
And when he drew nigh to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain.
20 Na ka tango ia i te kuao kau i hanga e ratou, a tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi, a hurihia ana a ngotangota noa, a ruiruia ana e ia ki te wai, whakainumia atu ana ma nga tama a Iharaira.
And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it.
21 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, I aha tenei iwi ki a koe, i takina ai e koe tenei hara nui ki a ratou?
And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to thee, that thou hast brought upon them a great sin?
22 A ka mea a Arona, Kei mura mai te riri o toku ariki: e mohio ana koe ki tenei iwi, mo te kino tonu ratou.
And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for thou knowest the impetuosity of this people.
23 I mea hoki ratou ki ahau, Hanga etahi atua mo tatou hei haere i mua i a tatou: ko tenei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nana nei tatou i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa, kahore tatou e mohio kua ahatia ranei ia.
For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.
24 Na ka mea ahau ki a ratou, Ki te mea he koura to tetahi, whakiia mai. Na ka homai e ratou ki ahau: a maka ana e ahau ki te ahi; a puta ake ko te kuao kau nei.
And I said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 A, i te kitenga o Mohi i te iwi e korara noa ana, na Arona hoki ratou i tuku kia korara, hei taunu ma o ratou hoariri:
And when Moses saw that the people was scattered, —for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies, —
26 Na, ka tu a Mohi ki te kuwaha o te puni, ka mea, Ko wai to Ihowa? haere mai ki ahau. Na ka huihui nga tama katoa a Riwai ki a ia.
then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.
27 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Whakanohoia e tera, e tera, tana hoari ki tona huha, a haere atu, hoki mai, i tetahi kuwaha ki tetahi kuwaha, i waenga puni, a patua e tera tona teina, e tera tona hoa, e t era tona hoa e noho tata ana.
And he says to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every one his brother, and every one his neighbour, and every one him that is nearest to him.
28 Na rite tonu ki te kupu a Mohi ta nga tama a Riwai i mea ai: a tata tonu ki te toru mano nga tangata i hinga i taua rangi.
And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men.
29 Na Mohi hoki i mea, Hei runga i tana tama, i tona teina, te whakatohungatanga ki a Ihowa o tera, o tera, o koutou aianei; kia homai ai e ia he manaaki ki a koutou aianei.
And Moses said to them, Ye have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you.
30 Na, i te aonga ake, ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kua hara koutou, he nui te hara: na, me haere ahau aianei ki runga, ki a Ihowa; tera pea e taea e ahau te whakamarie mo to koutou hara.
And it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin.
31 Na ka hoki a Mohi ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Aue! kua hara tenei iwi, he nui te hara, kua hanga hoki e ratou etahi atua koura mo ratou.
And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods.
32 Na, mau e horoi to ratou hara; a ki te kahore, tena ra, horoia atu ahau i roto i tau pukapuka i tuhituhia e koe.
And now if thou wilt forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of thy book, which thou hast written.
33 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Ko te tangata e hara ana ki ahau, ka horoia atu ia e ahau i roto i taku pukapuka.
And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book.
34 Na haere ra, arahina atu te iwi ki te wahi i korerotia atu e ahau ki a koe: tena taku anahera te haere atu na i mua i a koe; ahakoa ra, ko a te ra e mea ai ahau, ina, ka meinga e ahau to ratou hara kia tau ki runga ki a ratou.
And now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to thee: behold, my angel shall go before thy face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin.
35 Na ka whiua e Ihowa te iwi mo ta ratou hanganga i te kuao kau, i hanga nei e Arona.
And the Lord smote the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
