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 out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto 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 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 said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto 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 brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto 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 hand, and fashioned it with a graving 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 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 when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to 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 they rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to 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 said unto Moses, Go, get you down; for your people, which you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
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 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 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kua kite ahau i tenei iwi, na, he iwi kaki maro ratou:
And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stubborn people:
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.
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 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 besought 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 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.
Wherefore 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 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.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you sware by your own self, and said unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit 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 repented of the evil which he thought to do unto 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 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 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 was the writing of God, graven upon 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 when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto 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 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 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 it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto 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 brake them beneath the mount.
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 he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of 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 unto Aaron, What did this people unto you, that you have brought so great a sin upon them?
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, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: you know the people, that they are set on mischief.
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 said unto 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 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 unto them, Whosoever 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 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 were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among 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 Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto 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 said unto 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 neighbour.
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 children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about 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.
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
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 on the next day, that Moses said unto the people, All of you have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; possibly I shall make an 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 unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
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.
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 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 unto Moses, Whosoever has sinned against me, him will I blot 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.
Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto you: behold, mine Angel shall go before you: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35 Na ka whiua e Ihowa te iwi mo ta ratou hanganga i te kuao kau, i hanga nei e Arona.
And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
