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 for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen 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 rings of gold, 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 of themselves brake off the rings of gold 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 [the gold] at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf, and they said—These, are thy gods, O Israel, who 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, A festival to Yahweh, to-morrow!
6 Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariin kaʼanii, aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessanii aarsaa nagaas fidan. Kana irratti nyaachuu fi dhuguuf tataaʼan; sirbuufis kaʼan.
So they rose up early, on the morrow, and offered ascending-sacrifices, and brought near peace-offerings, and the people sat down, to eat and to drink, and then rose up—to make sport!
7 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Sabni kee kan ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde sun xuraaʼeeraatii gad buʼi.
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses—Go get thee down, for thy people whom thou hast 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 for themselves—a molten calf, and have bowed themselves down thereto and have sacrificed thereto, and have said. These, are thy gods, O Israel, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 “Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; ‘Kunoo, ani akka sabni kun mata jabeessa taʼe argeera.
So then Yahweh said unto Moses, —I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.
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 mine anger may kindle upon them and that I may consume them, and may 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 face of Yahweh his God, —and said—Wherefore, O Yahweh, should thine anger kindle upon thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great might and with a firm 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 saying—For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to 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.”
Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, —and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding.
14 Kana irratti Waaqayyo yaada geeddaratee badiisa saba isaatti fiduuf ture sana dhiise.
So then Yahweh was grieved, —over the calamity—which he had spoken of inflicting on 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 out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, —tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written.
16 Gabateewwan sanas Waaqatu hojjete; katabbiin sunis katabbii Waaqaa kan gabateewwan sana irratti soofamee barreeffamee dha.
Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, —and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables.
17 Iyyaasuunis yommuu waca namootaa dhagaʼetti Museedhaan, “Iddoo buufataa keessa sagalee waraanaatu jira” jedhe.
And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, —so he said unto Moses—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.”
But he said—Not the noise of the cry of heroism, nor yet the noise of the cry of defeat, —the noise of alternate song, 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 when he drew near unto the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancings, that the anger of Moses kindled, and he cast out of his hands the tables, and brake them in pieces at the foot of the mountain.
20 Innis jabbii jarri tolchan sana fuudhee ibiddaan gube; daakee bulleessees bishaanitti firfirsee Israaʼeloota obaase.
Then took he the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it till it became powder, and strewed it on the face of the waters, and made the sons of Israel drink.
21 Museenis Arooniin, “Sabni kun maal si goonaan ati cubbuu guddaa akkasii keessa isaan buufte?” jedhe.
And Moses said unto Aaron, What had this people done to thee, —that thou shouldst have brought upon them a great sin?
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 kindle, —thou thyself, knowest the people, that ready for mischief, they are.
23 Isaan, ‘Musee namicha Gibxii baasee nu fide sana waan inni taʼe hin beeknuutii waaqota nu dura deeman nuu tolchi’ naan jedhan.
So they said to me—Make for us gods, who shall go before us, —for, as for this, Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen 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 to them—Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, —and 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 Moses saw the people, that unbridled, they were, —for Aaron had given them the rein, for a whispering, 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.
So Moses took his stand in the gate of the camp, and said—Who is for Yahweh? …To me! Then gathered unto him all the sons of Levi,
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 to them—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, —pass through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his neighbour.
28 Lewwonnis akkuma Museen isaan ajaje godhan; guyyaa sana saba sana keessaa nama gara kuma sadiitu duʼe.
So the sons of Levi did, according to the word of Moses, —and there fell from among the people on 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—Install yourselves to-day, unto Yahweh, yea every man for his son and for his brother, —so will he bestow upon you to-day, a blessing.
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, —Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.
31 Museenis deebiʼee gara Waaqayyoo dhaqee akkana jedhe; “Wayyoo! Sabni kun cubbuu akkam guddaa hojjete! Isaan ofii isaaniitiif waaqota warqee tolfataniiru.
So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, —Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves—gods of gold.
32 Taʼus maaloo amma cubbuu isaanii dhiisiif; yoo kanaa achi kitaaba barreessite sana keessaa maqaa koo haqi.”
Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, …but 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 Yahweh said unto Moses, —Him who hath sinned against me, must 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, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! my messenger, shall go before thee, —But, in the day when I do visit, then will I visit upon them their sin.
35 Sababii balleessaa isaan jabbii Aroon tolche sanaan hojjetaniitiif Waaqayyo balaadhaan saba sana dhaʼe.
And Yahweh plagued the people, —for what they had done with the calf, which Aaron made.
