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.
When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."
2 Aroon immoo, “Warqee gurraa kan niitonni keessan, ilmaan keessanii fi intallan keessan keeyyatan irraa baasaatii natti fidaa” jedhee deebiseef.
Aaron said to them, "Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me."
3 Namoonni hundinuu warqee gurra isaanii of irraa baasanii Aroonitti fidan.
All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to 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.
He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, "These are your gods, Israel, which brought you 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.
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to YHWH."
6 Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariin kaʼanii, aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessanii aarsaa nagaas fidan. Kana irratti nyaachuu fi dhuguuf tataaʼan; sirbuufis kaʼan.
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Sabni kee kan ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde sun xuraaʼeeraatii gad buʼi.
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, "Go down at once, for your people whom you brought up 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 themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'"
9 “Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; ‘Kunoo, ani akka sabni kun mata jabeessa taʼe argeera.
YHWH said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and look, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 Kanaafuu akka aariin koo isaanitti bobaʼuu fi akka ani isaan balleessuuf na dhiisi. Yommus ani saba guddaa si taasisa.’”
Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you 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?
Moses pleaded with YHWH his God, and said, "YHWH, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have 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.
Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'He brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?' Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your 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, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'"
14 Kana irratti Waaqayyo yaada geeddaratee badiisa saba isaatti fiduuf ture sana dhiise.
YHWH changed his mind about the disaster which he said he would do to his people.
15 Museenis gabateewwan kakuu lamaan sana harkatti qabatee deebiʼee tulluu irraa gad buʼe. Gabatee sana irrattis karaa lachuu, duraa duubaan barreeffamee ture.
Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
16 Gabateewwan sanas Waaqatu hojjete; katabbiin sunis katabbii Waaqaa kan gabateewwan sana irratti soofamee barreeffamee dha.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.
17 Iyyaasuunis yommuu waca namootaa dhagaʼetti Museedhaan, “Iddoo buufataa keessa sagalee waraanaatu jira” jedhe.
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is the 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.”
He said, "It isn't the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that 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.
It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
20 Innis jabbii jarri tolchan sana fuudhee ibiddaan gube; daakee bulleessees bishaanitti firfirsee Israaʼeloota obaase.
He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on 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.
Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?"
22 Aroon immoo deebisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa gooftaa ko, aartee hin gubatin; akka sabni kun gara hamminaatti jalʼatu atuu beekta.
Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
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 to me, 'Make us gods, which shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has 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!”
I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:' so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came 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.
When Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision 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, "Whoever is on YHWH's side, come to me." All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to 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.’”
He said to them, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'"
28 Lewwonnis akkuma Museen isaan ajaje godhan; guyyaa sana saba sana keessaa nama gara kuma sadiitu duʼe.
The sons 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.
And Moses said, "You have been consecrated today to YHWH, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, so he has given a blessing to you 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.
It happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, "You have committed a great sin. And now I will go up to God. Perhaps I can make 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.
Moses returned to YHWH, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
32 Taʼus maaloo amma cubbuu isaanii dhiisiif; yoo kanaa achi kitaaba barreessite sana keessaa maqaa koo haqi.”
Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written."
33 Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ani nama cubbuu natti hojjete kitaaba koo irraa nan haqa.
YHWH said to Moses, "Whoever has 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.”
Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Look, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."
35 Sababii balleessaa isaan jabbii Aroon tolche sanaan hojjetaniitiif Waaqayyo balaadhaan saba sana dhaʼe.
YHWH struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
