Baʼuu 32
1 Sabni sunis yommuu akka Museen tulluu irra ture argetti Aroonin marsee, “Musee namicha biyya Gibxiitii baasee nu fide sana waan inni taʼe hin beeknuutii kaʼii waaqota nu dura deeman nuu tolchi” jedhe.
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 wot not what is become of him.
2 Aroon immoo, “Warqee gurraa kan niitonni keessan, ilmaan keessanii fi intallan keessan keeyyatan irraa baasaatii natti fidaa” jedhee deebiseef.
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 Namoonni hundinuu warqee gurra isaanii of irraa baasanii Aroonitti fidan.
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 Innis warqee sana isaan harkaa fuudhee miʼa ittiin hojjetaniin baqsee Waaqa tolfamaa bifa jabbiitiin hojjetame tokko tolche; isaanis, “Yaa Israaʼel isaan kunneen waaqota kee warra biyya Gibxiitii si baasanii dha” jedhan.
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 thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 Aroonis yommuu waan kana argetti fuula jabbii sanaa duratti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree, “Bori Waaqayyoof ayyaanni ni ayyaaneffama” jedhee labse.
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 Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariin kaʼanii, aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessanii aarsaa nagaas fidan. Kana irratti nyaachuu fi dhuguuf tataaʼan; sirbuufis kaʼan.
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Sabni kee kan ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde sun xuraaʼeeraatii gad buʼi.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8 Isaan dafanii karaa ani isaan ajaje irraa jalʼataniiru; Waaqa tolfamaa bifa jabbiitiin baqfamee qopheeffame illee ofii isaaniitiif tolfatanii aarsaa dhiʼeessaniifii, ‘Yaa Israaʼel isaan kunneen waaqota kee warra biyya Gibxiitii si baasanii dha’ jedhanii isa waaqeffataniiru.
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 thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 “Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; ‘Kunoo, ani akka sabni kun mata jabeessa taʼe argeera.
And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10 Kanaafuu akka aariin koo isaanitti bobaʼuu fi akka ani isaan balleessuuf na dhiisi. Yommus ani saba guddaa si taasisa.’”
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11 Museen garuu fuula gargaarsa Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa barbaaddate; akkanas jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo, dheekkamsi kee maaliif saba kee warra ati humna guddaa fi irree jabaadhaan biyya Gibxiitii baafte sanatti bobaʼa?
And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Warri Gibxii maaliif, ‘Inni duruma iyyuu yaada hamaadhaan tulluuwwan irratti isaan fixuu fi lafa irraa isaan balleessuuf Gibxii isaan baasee?’ jedhu. Aarii kee bobaʼaa sana irraa deebiʼi; obsis; saba keettis badiisa hin fidin.
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 thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
13 Garboota kee Abrahaam, Yisihaaqii fi Israaʼelin warra, ‘Ani sanyii kee akka urjiiwwan samii irraa nan baayʼisa; lafa ani waadaa isaaniif seene kana hundas sanyii keessaniif nan kenna; isaanis bara baraan lafa sana ni dhaalu’ jettee maqaa keetiin kakatteef sana yaadadhu.”
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst 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 Kana irratti Waaqayyo yaada geeddaratee badiisa saba isaatti fiduuf ture sana dhiise.
And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
15 Museenis gabateewwan kakuu lamaan sana harkatti qabatee deebiʼee tulluu irraa gad buʼe. Gabatee sana irrattis karaa lachuu, duraa duubaan barreeffamee ture.
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 Gabateewwan sanas Waaqatu hojjete; katabbiin sunis katabbii Waaqaa kan gabateewwan sana irratti soofamee barreeffamee dha.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
17 Iyyaasuunis yommuu waca namootaa dhagaʼetti Museedhaan, “Iddoo buufataa keessa sagalee waraanaatu jira” jedhe.
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 Museen immoo akkana jedhee deebise: “Sagaleen ani dhagaʼu kun sagalee sirbaati malee sagalee mooʼuu, yookaan sagalee moʼatamuu miti.”
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 Museenis akkuma iddoo qubataatti dhiʼaatee jabbii fi shuubbisa sana argeen aaree gubate; gabateewwan sana harka isaa irraa darbatee tulluu sana jalatti caccabse.
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 Innis jabbii jarri tolchan sana fuudhee ibiddaan gube; daakee bulleessees bishaanitti firfirsee Israaʼeloota obaase.
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 Museenis Arooniin, “Sabni kun maal si goonaan ati cubbuu guddaa akkasii keessa isaan buufte?” jedhe.
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 Aroon immoo deebisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa gooftaa ko, aartee hin gubatin; akka sabni kun gara hamminaatti jalʼatu atuu beekta.
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
23 Isaan, ‘Musee namicha Gibxii baasee nu fide sana waan inni taʼe hin beeknuutii waaqota nu dura deeman nuu tolchi’ naan jedhan.
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 wot not what is become of him.
24 Anis, ‘Namni warqee qabu of irraa haa baasu’ jedheen; isaanis warqee sana natti kennan; anis ibidda keessa nan buuse; inni immoo jabbii taʼee baʼe!”
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath 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 Museen akka sabni sun gad dhiisiitti jiraate, Aroonis akka isaan toʼannaadhaan ala taʼan akka godhee fi akka isaan diinota isaanii birattis waan kolfaa taʼan arge.
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies: )
26 Kanaafuu Museen karra qubataa dura dhaabatee, “Mee warri gara Waaqayyo gortan hundi gara koo kottaa” jedhe. Lewwonni hundis isa biratti walitti qabaman.
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 Ergasii inni akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Tokkoon tokkoon namaa mudhii isaatti goraadee haa hidhatu; tokkoon tokkoon namaas qubata sana keessa karra tokko irraa gara karra kaaniitti asii fi achi deemee obboloota isaa, michoota isaatii fi ollaa isaa haa ajjeesu.’”
And he said unto them, Thus saith 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 Lewwonnis akkuma Museen isaan ajaje godhan; guyyaa sana saba sana keessaa nama gara kuma sadiitu duʼe.
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 Museenis, “Isin waan ilmaan keessanii fi obboloota keessanitti kaataniif harʼa Waaqayyoof addaan baafamtaniirtu; innis guyyaa harʼaa isin eebbiseera” jedhe.
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
30 Museen guyyaa itti aanutti saba sanaan, “Isin cubbuu guddaa hojjettaniirtu. Garuu ani amma gara Waaqayyootti ol nan baʼa; tarii ani cubbuu keessaniif araara nan buusa taʼa” jedhe.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 Museenis deebiʼee gara Waaqayyoo dhaqee akkana jedhe; “Wayyoo! Sabni kun cubbuu akkam guddaa hojjete! Isaan ofii isaaniitiif waaqota warqee tolfataniiru.
And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Taʼus maaloo amma cubbuu isaanii dhiisiif; yoo kanaa achi kitaaba barreessite sana keessaa maqaa koo haqi.”
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ani nama cubbuu natti hojjete kitaaba koo irraa nan haqa.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34 Amma kaʼiitii gara lafa ani sitti hime sanaatti saba kana qajeelchi; kunoo ergamaan koos fuula kee dura ni deema. Garuu gaafa yeroon ani isaan adabu gaʼutti ani cubbuu isaaniitiif isaan nan adaba.”
Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35 Sababii balleessaa isaan jabbii Aroon tolche sanaan hojjetaniitiif Waaqayyo balaadhaan saba sana dhaʼe.
And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
