< Exodus 32 >
1 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rí i pé Mose pẹ́ kí ó tó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè wá, wọn péjọ yí Aaroni ká, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Wá, dá òrìṣà tí yóò máa ṣáájú wa fún wa. Bí ó ṣe ti Mose tí ó mú wa jáde láti Ejibiti wá, àwa kò mọ́ ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i.”
Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!”
2 Aaroni dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ bọ́ òrùka wúrà tí ó wà ní etí àwọn ìyàwó yín, tí àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín, àti tí àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín, kí ẹ sì mú wọn wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
So Aaron told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn bọ́ òrùka etí wọn, wọn sì kó wọn wá fún Aaroni.
Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Ó sì gbà wọ́n ní ọwọ́ wọn, ó sì fi ṣe ohun ọnà fínfín, ó sì dà á ní àwòrán ẹgbọrọ màlúù. Nígbà náà ni wọn wí pé, “Israẹli, wọ̀nyí ni òrìṣà, ti ó mú un yín jáde wá láti Ejibiti.”
He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
5 Nígbà ti Aaroni rí èyí, ó kọ́ pẹpẹ kan níwájú ẹgbọrọ màlúù náà, ó sì kéde pé, “Lọ́la ni àjọyọ̀ sí Olúwa.”
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
6 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn dìde ní kùtùkùtù ọjọ́ kejì, wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ sísun, wọ́n sì mú ẹbọ àlàáfíà wá. Lẹ́yìn náà wọ́n jókòó láti jẹ àti láti mu, wọ́n sì dìde láti ṣeré.
So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.
7 Olúwa sì wí fún Mose pé, “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, tí ìwọ mú gòkè wá láti Ejibiti, wọ́n ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 Wọ́n ti yí kánkán kúrò nípa ọ̀nà tí mo ti mo pàṣẹ fún wọn, wọ́n sì ti dá ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù fún ara wọn. Wọ́n ti foríbalẹ̀ fún un, wọ́n sì ti rú ẹbọ sí i, wọ́n sì ti sọ pé, ‘Israẹli wọ̀nyí ní òrìṣà tí ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá.’”
How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 Olúwa wí fún Mose pé, “Èmi ti rí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, wọ́n sì jẹ́ ọlọ́rùn líle ènìyàn.
The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
10 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí fi mí sílẹ̀, nítorí kí ìbínú mi lè gbóná sí wọn, kí Èmi sì lè pa wọ́n run. Nígbà náà ni Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá.”
Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
11 Ṣùgbọ́n Mose kígbe fún ojúrere Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, ó wí pé, “Olúwa, èéṣe tí ìbínú rẹ yóò ṣe gbóná sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, tí ìwọ mú jáde láti Ejibiti wá pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá àti ọwọ́ agbára?
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
12 Èéṣe tí àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò ṣe wí pé, ‘Nítorí ibi ni ó ṣe mọ̀ ọ́n mọ̀ mú wọn jáde, láti pa wọ́n ní orí òkè àti láti gbá wọn kúrò lórí ayé’? Yípadà kúrò nínú ìbínú rẹ tí ó múná, yí ọkàn padà, kí o má sì ṣe mú ìparun wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.
Why should the Egyptians declare, ‘He brought them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce anger and relent from doing harm to Your people.
13 Rántí àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Israẹli, ẹni tí ìwọ búra fún fúnra rẹ̀, ‘Tí o wí fún wọn pé, Èmi yóò mú irú-ọmọ rẹ pọ̀ bí ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, Èmi yóò sì fún irú-ọmọ rẹ ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí mo ti pinnu fún wọn, yóò sì jẹ́ ogún ìní wọn láéláé.’”
Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”
14 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa dáwọ́ ìbínú rẹ̀ dúró, kò sì mú ìparun náà tí ó sọ wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ mọ́.
So the LORD relented from the calamity He had threatened to bring on His people.
15 Mose sì yípadà, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè náà pẹ̀lú òkúta wàláà ẹ̀rí méjì ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀. Wọ́n kọ ìwé síhà méjèèjì, iwájú àti ẹ̀yin.
Then Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
16 Iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run sì ni wàláà náà; ìkọ̀wé náà jẹ́ ìkọ̀wé Ọlọ́run, a fín in sára àwọn òkúta wàláà náà.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 Nígbà tí Joṣua gbọ́ ariwo àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ń kígbe, ó sọ fún Mose pé, “Ariwo ogun wà nínú àgọ́.”
When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “The sound of war is in the camp.”
18 Mose dáhùn pé, “Kì í ṣe ariwo fún ìṣẹ́gun, kì í ṣe ariwo fún aṣẹ́gun; ohùn àwọn tí ń kọrin ni mo gbọ́.”
But Moses replied: “It is neither the cry of victory nor the cry of defeat; I hear the sound of singing!”
19 Nígbà tí Mose dé àgọ́, ó sì rí ẹgbọrọ màlúù náà àti ijó, ìbínú rẹ gbóná, ó sì sọ wàláà ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì fọ́ wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́ ní ìsàlẹ̀ òkè náà.
As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
20 Ó sì gbé ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí wọ́n ṣe, ó sì fi iná jó wọn; ó sì lọ̀ wọ́n kúnná, ó dà á sínú omi, ó sì mú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mu ún.
Then he took the calf they had made, burned it in the fire, ground it to powder, and scattered the powder over the face of the water. Then he forced the Israelites to drink it.
21 Mose sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Kí ni àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ṣe sí ọ, tí ìwọ ṣe mú wọn dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ńlá yìí?”
“What did this people do to you,” Moses asked Aaron, “that you have led them into so great a sin?”
22 Aaroni dáhùn wí pé, “Má ṣe bínú olúwa mi. Ìwọ mọ bí àwọn ènìyàn yìí ṣe burú tó.
“Do not be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.
23 Wọ́n sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ṣe òrìṣà fún wa, tí yóò máa ṣáájú wa. Bí ó ṣe ti Mose ẹni tí ó mú wa jáde láti Ejibiti wá àwa kò mọ ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i.’
They told me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!’
24 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní òrùka wúrà, kí ó bọ́ ọ wá.’ Nígbà náà ni wọ́n fún mi ní wúrà, mo sì jù ú sínú iná, a sì fi ṣe ẹgbọrọ màlúù yìí!”
So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off,’ and they gave it to me. And when I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”
25 Mose rí pé àwọn ènìyàn náà kò ṣe ṣàkóso àti pé Aaroni ti sọ wọ́n di aláìlákóṣo láàrín àwọn ọ̀tá tí ó dìde sí wọn.
Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them run wild and become a laughingstock to their enemies.
26 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Mose dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wà fún Olúwa, kí ó wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.” Gbogbo àwọn ará Lefi sì péjọ yí i ká.
So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
27 Nígbà náà ni ó sọ fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, wí pé, ‘Kí olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin kí ó kọ idà rẹ̀ sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀. Ẹ lọ padà, kí ẹ jà láti àgọ́ kan dé òmíràn, olúkúlùkù kí ó pa arákùnrin rẹ̀ ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ àti aládùúgbò rẹ.’”
He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and slay his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”
28 Àwọn ará Lefi ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ṣe pàṣẹ, àti ní ọjọ́ náà àwọn tí ó kú tó ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta ènìyàn.
The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people fell dead.
29 Nígbà náà ni Mose wí pé, “Ẹ ti ya ara yín sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa lónìí, nítorí ìwọ ti dìde sí àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti arákùnrin rẹ, ó sì ti bùkún fún ọ lónìí.”
Afterward, Moses said, “Today you have been ordained for service to the LORD, since each man went against his son and his brother; so the LORD has bestowed a blessing on you this day.”
30 Ní ọjọ́ kejì Mose sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí èmi yóò gòkè lọ bá Olúwa; bóyá èmi lè ṣe ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín.”
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Mose padà tọ Olúwa lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Yé, kí ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ńlá tí àwọn ènìyàn ti dá yìí! Wọ́n ti ṣe òrìṣà wúrà fún ara wọn.
So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves.
32 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, jọ̀wọ́ dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn jì wọ́n ṣùgbọ́n tí kò bá sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, pa orúkọ mi rẹ́ kúrò nínú ìwé tí ìwọ ti kọ.”
Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”
33 Olúwa dá Mose lóhùn pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí mi, Èmi yóò pa á rẹ́ kúrò nínú ìwé mi.
The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.
34 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí lọ, máa darí àwọn ènìyàn yìí lọ sí ibi ti mo sọ, angẹli mi yóò sì máa lọ ṣáájú yín. Ìgbà ń bọ̀ fún mi tì Èmi yóò ṣe ìbẹ̀wò, Èmi yóò fi yà jẹ wọ́n fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.”
Now go, lead the people to the place I described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Olúwa sì yọ àwọn ènìyàn náà lẹ́nu, pẹ̀lú ààrùn nítorí ohun tí wọ́n ṣe ní ti ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí Aaroni ṣe.
And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
