Exodus 32
1 Ke mwet uh liye lah Moses el pahtlac in oatui liki fineol uh, elos toeni nu yorol Aaron ac fahk nu sel, “Kut tia etu lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt. Ke ouinge, orala sie god an nu sesr in kol kut.”
When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us an idol that will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.”
2 Aaron el fahk nu selos, “Eisla yaring gold ma mutan kiowos, wen nutuwos, ac acn nutuwos elos yaringkin an, ac use nu sik.”
So Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings that are on your wives' ears, and the ears of your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Ouinge mwet nukewa eisla yaring gold lalos ac usla nu yorol Aaron.
All the people took off the golden rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.
4 El munanak yaring inge nwe ke kofelik, na el okoala gold uh nu in sie form ma lumahla soko cow fusr mukul. Na mwet uh fahk, “Israel, pa inge god lasr, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt!”
He received the gold from them, fashioned it in a mold, and made it into a molded calf. Then the people said, “Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
5 Na Aaron el musaela sie loang ye mutun cow mukul gold soko uh, ac fahkak “Lutu ac fah orek sie kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD.”
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and made a proclamation; he said, “Tomorrow will be a festival in Yahweh's honor.”
6 Toangna ke lotutang se toko ah, elos usani kosro mwe kisa firir, ac kutu in mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Mwet uh mutani, ac elos nimnim ac oru ouiya na kupatol.
The people arose early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Then they sat down to eat and to drink, and then got up to carouse in wild celebration.
7 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Aksaye tufoki, tuh mwet lom su kom kolma liki Egypt elos orala sie ma na koluk.
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go quickly, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 Elos kuhfla liki ouiyen moul ma nga sapkin nu selos. Elos orala cow mukul soko ke gold ac alu nu kac ac orek kisa nu kac. Elos fahk mu pa inge god lalos su pwanulosme liki Egypt.
They have quickly left the way that I commanded them. They have molded for themselves a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it. They have said, 'Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'”
9 Nga etu lupan likkeke lun mwet inge.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people. Look, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 Inge, nik kom srike in ikolyu. Nga kasrkusrak selos, ac nga ac kunauselosla. Na nga fah oru tuh kom ac fwil nutum in sie mutunfacl lulap.”
Now then, do not try to stop me. My anger will burn hot against them, so I will destroy them. Then I will make a great nation from you.”
11 Tusruktu Moses el kwafe sin LEUM GOD lal ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, efu ku kom in arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet lom, su kom molelosla liki facl Egypt ke po kulana ac ku lulap lom?
But Moses tried to calm down Yahweh his God. He said, “Yahweh, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Efu ku kom oru mwet Egypt in ku in fahk mu ke kom pwanla mwet lom liki acn Egypt kom nuna akoo na in onelosi fineol uh ac kunauselosla nwe ke elos nukewa wanginla? Tulokinya kasrkusrak lom an. Aolla nunak lom ac nimet use mwe ongoiya inge nu fin mwet lom.
Why should the Egyptians say, 'He led them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth?' Turn from your burning anger and relent from this punishment on your people.
13 Esam mwet kulansap lom: Abraham, Isaac ac Jacob. Esam pac wulela ku lom nu selos lah kom ac oru tuh fwilin tulik natulos in pus oana itu inkusrao, ac kom fah sang nu selos acn nukewa su kom wuleang kac tuh in ma selos nwe tok.”
Call to mind Abraham and Isaac and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self and said to them, 'I will make your descendants as many as the stars in the heavens, and I will give to your descendants all this land of which I have spoken. They will inherit it forever.'”
14 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El aolla nunak lal, ac tiana sang mwe ongoiya nu fin mwet lal oana El tuh akoo in oru.
Then Yahweh relented from the punishment that he had said he would inflict on his people.
15 Na Moses el forla ac oatui liki fineol uh, ac el us eot tupasrpasr luo ma simla ma sap fac lac lac.
Then Moses turned around and went down the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides, on both the front and the back.
16 God sifacna El orala eot tupasrpasr luo uh ac kihlisya ma sap uh fac.
The tablets were God's own work, and the writing was God's own writing, engraved on the tablets.
17 Joshua el lohng pusren wowo lun mwet uh ac el fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga lohng pusren mweun ke nien aktuktuk uh.”
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of combat in the camp.”
18 Moses el fahk, “Tia pusren sasa in kutangla pa ingan, ku pusren tung ke kutangyukla elos, a pusren on.”
But Moses said, “It is not the sound of a victor, and not the sound of defeated people, but the sound of singing that I hear.”
19 Ke Moses el tuku apkuranyang nu nien aktuktuk uh el liye cow mukul gold soko, ac liye ke mwet uh onsrosro, na el foloyak. El tolya eot tupasrpasr luo uh nu pe eol uh, na eot luo ah fokelik.
When Moses approached the camp, he saw the calf and the people dancing. He became very angry. He threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the bottom of the mountain.
20 El sruokya cow gold soko elos orala, sang nu ke e ah nwe ke kofelik, na el itungya nwe ke mokutkuti oana powder, ac kurrauk ke kof, na el sang mwet Israel in nim.
He took the calf that the people had made, burned it, ground it to powder, and poured it into the water. Then he made the people of Israel drink it.
21 El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Mea mwet inge oru nu sum pwanang kom lela nu selos in oru ma na koluk se inge?”
Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such a great sin on them?”
22 Aaron el topuk, “Nimet kasrkusrak sik. Kom etu kuinsrim lun mwet inge nu ke ma koluk.
Aaron said, “Do not let your anger burn hot, my master. You know these people, how they are set on doing evil.
23 Elos fahk nu sik, ‘Kut tia etu lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt. Ke ouinge, orala sie god an nu sesr in kol kut.’
They said to me, 'Make us a god who will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
24 Nga siyuk elos in use mwe naweyuk gold lalos nu sik, ac elos su oasr yoro elos eisla ac use nu sik. Nga sisang mwe naweyuk inge nu in e ah, na cow mukul soko inge sikyak!”
So I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let him take it off.' They gave me the gold and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 Moses el liye lah Aaron el fuhlela mwet uh in sukosokla in oru na lungse lalos ac orekma in mwet lalfon ye mutun mwet lokoalok lalos.
Moses saw that the people were running wild (for Aaron had let them get out of control, causing their enemies to mock them).
26 Ouinge Moses el tu ke acn in utyak nu ke nien aktuktuk ac wowoyak fahk, “Su suwos wi layen lun LEUM GOD? Fahsru nu in se inge!” Na mwet Levi nukewa tukeni nu yorol ac raunella,
Then Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me.” All the Levites gathered around him.
27 ac el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El sapkin tuh kowos nukewa in srukak cutlass nutuwos ac filiya pupowos, ac fahsr sasla ke lohm nuknuk nukewa, mutawauk ke nien utyak uh sasla e layeno, ac kais sie suwos in uniya mukul Israel wiowos, mwet kawuk lowos, ac mwet tulan lowos.”
He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'Let each man fasten his sword on his side and go back and forth from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and kill his brother, his companion, and his neighbor.'”
28 Mwet Levi elos akos, ac uniya akuran tausin tolu mukul Israel ke len sac.
The Levites did what Moses ordered. That day about three thousand of the people died.
29 Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Levi, “Misenge ke kowos uniya wen nutuwos ac tamulel lowos, kowos sifacna akmutalye kowos in fal nu ke orekma lun mwet tol nu sin LEUM GOD, na LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kowos.”
Moses said to the Levites, “You have been placed into Yahweh's service today, for each of you has taken action against his son and his brother, so Yahweh might give you a blessing today.”
30 Len tok ah Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos tuh orala ma koluk na yohk se. Tusruktu inge nga ac sifil utyak nu fineol uh nu yurin LEUM GOD. Sahp nga ku in eis nunak munas nu ke ma koluk lowos.”
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a very great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 Na Moses el folokla nu yurin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Mwet inge orala ma koluk na yohk se. Elos orala god se ke gold ac alu nu kac.
Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin and made themselves an idol of gold.
32 Inge nga kwafe sum in nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos. A kom fin tia, na kom eela inek liki book se su kom simis inen mwet lom loac.”
But now, please forgive their sin; but if you do not, blot me out of the book that you have written.”
33 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Elos na su orekma koluk lainyu pa nga fah eela inelos liki book nutik.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, that person I will blot out of my book.
34 Inge fahsrot, kolla mwet uh nu ke acn se nga tuh fahk nu sum kac. Esam lah lipufan luk ac fah pwen kom, tusruktu ke pacl fahsru uh nga fah kalyei mwet inge ke ma koluk lalos.”
So now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish them, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El supwama sie mas upa nu fin mwet uh, mweyen elos tuh sap Aaron el orala cow mukul gold soko.
Yahweh sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
