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.”
Then the people, seeing that Moses made a delay in descending from the mountain, gathered together against Aaron, and said: “Rise up, make us gods, who may go before us. But as for this man Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen 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.”
And Aaron said to them, “Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your 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.
And the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings 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.”
And when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: “These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from 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.”
And when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, “Tomorrow is the solemnity of 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.
And rising up in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.
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 spoke to Moses, saying: “Go, descend. Your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, have sinned.
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.’”
They have quickly withdrawn from the way which you revealed to them. And they have made for themselves a molten calf, and they have worshiped it. And immolating victims to it, they have said: ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.’”
9 Olúwa wí fún Mose pé, “Èmi ti rí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, wọ́n sì jẹ́ ọlọ́rùn líle ènìyàn.
And again, the Lord said to Moses: “I discern that this people is stiff-necked.
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.”
Release me, so that my fury may be enraged against them, and I may destroy them, and then I will make of you 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?
Then Moses prayed to the Lord his God, saying: “Why, O Lord, is your fury enraged against your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with 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.
I beg you, let not the Egyptians say, ‘He cleverly led them away, so that he could put them to death in the mountains and destroy them from the earth.’ Let your anger be quieted and appeased concerning the wickedness of 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 Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your very self, saying: ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And this entire land, about which I have spoken, I will give to your offspring. And you shall possess it forever.’”
14 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa dáwọ́ ìbínú rẹ̀ dúró, kò sì mú ìparun náà tí ó sọ wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ mọ́.
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against 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.
And Moses returned from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
16 Iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run sì ni wàláà náà; ìkọ̀wé náà jẹ́ ìkọ̀wé Ọlọ́run, a fín in sára àwọn òkúta wàláà náà.
and accomplished by the work of God. Also, the writing of God was 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.”
Then Joshua, hearing the tumult of the people shouting, said to Moses: “The outcry of battle is heard 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 he responded: “It is not the clamor of men being exhorted to battle, nor the shout of men being compelled to flee. But I hear the voice 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.
And when he had approached to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances. And being very angry, he threw down the tablets from his hand, and he broke 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.
And seizing the calf, which they had made, he burnt it and crushed it, even to dust, which he scattered into water. And he gave from it to the sons of Israel to drink.
21 Mose sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Kí ni àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ṣe sí ọ, tí ìwọ ṣe mú wọn dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ńlá yìí?”
And he said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, so that you would bring upon them the greatest sin?”
22 Aaroni dáhùn wí pé, “Má ṣe bínú olúwa mi. Ìwọ mọ bí àwọn ènìyàn yìí ṣe burú tó.
And he answered him: “Let not my lord be indignant. For you know this people, that they are prone to 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 said to me: ‘Make gods for us, who may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen 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!”
And I said to them, ‘Which of you has gold?’ And they took it and gave it to me. And I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
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.
Therefore, Moses, seeing that the people were naked (for Aaron had stripped them because of the disgrace of their sordidness, and he had set them naked among 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.
and standing at the gate of the camp, said: “If anyone is for the Lord, let him join with me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to 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.’”
And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Let a man place his sword at his thigh. Go forth, and then return, from gate to gate, through the midst of the camp, and let each one kill his brother, and friend, and neighbor.”
28 Àwọn ará Lefi ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ṣe pàṣẹ, àti ní ọjọ́ náà àwọn tí ó kú tó ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta ènìyàn.
And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there fell on that day about twenty-three thousand men.
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.”
And Moses said: “On this day, you have consecrated your hands to the Lord, each one in his son and in his brother, so that a blessing may be given to you.”
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.”
Then, when the next day arrived, Moses spoke to the people: “You have sinned the greatest sin. I will ascend to the Lord. Perhaps, in some way, I might be able to entreat him for your wickedness.”
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.
And returning to the Lord, he said: “I beg you, this people has sinned the greatest sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold. Either release them from this offense,
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.”
or, if you do not, then delete me from 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.
And the Lord answered him: “Whoever has sinned against me, him I will delete from 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.”
But as for you, go and lead this people where I have told you. My angel will go before you. Then, on the day of retribution, I will also visit this sin of theirs.”
35 Olúwa sì yọ àwọn ènìyàn náà lẹ́nu, pẹ̀lú ààrùn nítorí ohun tí wọ́n ṣe ní ti ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí Aaroni ṣe.
Therefore, the Lord struck the people for the guilt of the calf, which Aaron had made.
