Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him: 'Up, make us a god who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.'
Rĩrĩa andũ moonire atĩ Musa nĩaikarire mũno ataikũrũkĩte kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, magĩcookanĩrĩra harĩ Harũni makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, tũthondekere ngai iria irĩtũtongoragia. Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũyũ ũgwĩtwo Musa, ũrĩa watũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, tũtiũĩ ũrĩa oonete.”
2 And Aaron said unto them: 'Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.'
Harũni akĩmacookeria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rutai icũhĩ cia thahabu iria irĩ matũ ma atumia anyu, na aanake na airĩtu anyu mũndehere.”
3 And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makĩruta icũhĩ cia thahabu icio ciarĩ matũ-inĩ mao magĩcirehere Harũni.
4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said: 'This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
Nake akĩoya indo iria maamũreheire, agĩcitwekia agĩtũmĩra indo cia ũbundi gũcithondeka mũhianano wa njaũ. Nao andũ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ici nĩcio ngai ciaku, wee Isiraeli, iria ciakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.”
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said: 'To-morrow shall be a feast to the LORD.'
Rĩrĩa Harũni onire ũguo, agĩaka kĩgongona mbere ya njaũ ĩyo, na akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũciũ nĩgũgakorwo na gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova.”
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to make merry.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ andũ magĩũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, makĩruta magongona ma njino na ma ũiguano. Thuutha ũcio magĩikara thĩ kũrĩa na kũnyua, magĩcooka magĩũkĩra kũina na gwĩkenia.
7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses: 'Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have dealt corruptly;
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka, tondũ andũ aku arĩa warutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmethũkĩtie.
8 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said: This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
Nĩmagarũrũkĩte narua magatiga ũrĩa ndaamathĩte, na nĩmethondekeire mũhianano wa gũtwekio ũhaana njaũ. Nĩmaũinamĩrĩire na makaũrutĩra iruta makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ici nĩcio ngai ciaku, wee Isiraeli, iria ciakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.’”
9 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete andũ aya, nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo.
10 Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.'
Rĩu tigana na niĩ nĩgeetha marakara makwa mamarĩrĩmbũkĩre, nĩgeetha ndĩmaniine. Nĩngacooka ngũtue rũrĩrĩ rũnene.”
11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, why doth Thy wrath wax hot against Thy people, that Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
No Musa agĩthaitha Jehova Ngai wake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, ũngĩcinwo nĩ marakara ũũkĩrĩre andũ aku nĩkĩ, o arĩa warutire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko gwaku kũrĩ ũhoti na ũkĩmaruta kuo na hinya mũnene?
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying: For evil did He bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from Thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against Thy people.
Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma andũ a Misiri moige atĩrĩ, ‘Aamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri arĩ na muoroto wa kũmeka ũũru amooragĩre irĩma-inĩ, na amaniine mathire gũkũ thĩ’? Tiga kũrakara mũno; wĩricũkwo ndũkarehere andũ aku mwanangĩko.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou didst swear by Thine own self, and saidst unto them: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.'
Ririkana ndungata ciaku Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Isiraeli, arĩa wee wehĩtire kũrĩ o na mwĩhĩtwa ũkĩĩgwetaga, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngatũma njiaro ciaku cingĩhe ta njata cia matu-inĩ, na nĩngaahe njiaro ciaku bũrũri ũyũ wothe ũrĩa ndaamerĩire, naguo ũgaatuĩka igai rĩao nginya tene.’”
14 And the LORD repented of the evil which He said He would do unto His people.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩricũkwo, na ndaigana kũrehere andũ ake mwanangĩko ũrĩa oigĩte atĩ nĩekũmarehera.
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
Musa akĩhũndũka, agĩikũrũka kuuma kĩrĩma igũrũ akuuĩte ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia Ũira na moko make. Ciarĩ nyandĩke mĩena yeerĩ, mbere na thuutha.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Ihengere icio ciarĩ wĩra wa Ngai; maandĩko macio maarĩ maandĩko ma Ngai makururĩtwo ihengere-inĩ icio.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses: 'There is a noise of war in the camp.'
Rĩrĩa Joshua aiguire inegene rĩa andũ makiugĩrĩria akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara kambĩ-inĩ.”
18 And he said: 'It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome, but the noise of them that sing do I hear.'
Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti mĩgambo ya ũhootani, na ti mĩgambo ya kũhootwo; nĩ mĩgambo ya kũina ndĩraigua.”
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
Rĩrĩa Musa akuhĩrĩirie kambĩ, na akĩona njaũ na ndũrũhĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ kũndũ kũu, agĩcinwo nĩ marakara, nake agĩikia ihengere icio thĩ, ikiunĩkanga icunjĩ o hau magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩrĩma.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Nake akĩnyiita njaũ ĩyo maathondekete, akĩmĩcina na mwaki, agĩcooka akĩmĩthĩa, ĩgĩtuĩka mũtu, akĩũikia maaĩ-inĩ na agĩatha andũ a Isiraeli manyue maaĩ macio.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them?'
Nake Musa akĩũria Harũni atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya maragwĩkire atĩa nĩgeetha ũmatoonyie mehia-inĩ manene ũũ?”
22 And Aaron said: 'Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil.
Nake Harũni akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũrakara, mwathi wakwa; wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa andũ aya mendete gwĩka ũũru.
23 So they said unto me: Make us a god, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
Maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Tũthondekere ngai iria irĩtũtongoragia. Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũyũ ũgwĩtwo Musa, ũrĩa watũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ, tũtiũĩ ũrĩa oonire.’
24 And I said unto them: Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off; so they gave it me; and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ na mathaga ma thahabu, nĩarute.’ Nao makĩĩnengera indo icio cia thahabu, ngĩciikia riiko, nacio ikiuma njaũ ĩno!”
25 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose — for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies —
Musa akĩona atĩ andũ nĩmakararĩtie, na atĩ Harũni nĩamarekereirie meke ũrĩa mekwenda, nginya magaatuĩka andũ a gũthekagĩrĩrwo nĩ thũ ciao.
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: 'Whoso is on the LORD'S side, let him come unto me.' And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩrũgama itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kambĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩ mwena wa Jehova-rĩ, nĩoke haha.” Nao Alawii othe makĩrũgama mwena wake.
27 And he said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.'
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘O mũndũ nĩeyohe rũhiũ rwa njora njohero. Hungurai kambĩ ĩno kuuma mwena ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ, o mũndũ nĩoorage mũrũ wa nyina na oorage mũratawe na mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake.’”
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Alawii magĩĩka ta ũrĩa maathirwo nĩ Musa, na mũthenya ũcio gũkĩũragwo andũ ta 3,000.
29 And Moses said: 'Consecrate yourselves to-day to the LORD, for every man hath been against his son and against his brother; that He may also bestow upon you a blessing this day.'
Nake Musa akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwarĩkia kwamũrĩrwo Jehova ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmwareganire na ariũ anyu na mũkĩregana na arĩa mũciaranĩirwo nao, na Jehova nĩamũrathima ũmũthĩ.”
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people: 'Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up unto the LORD, peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin.'
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Musa akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwĩhĩtie mũno. No rĩu, nĩngwambata kũrĩ Jehova; hihi no kũhoteke ndĩmũrutĩre horohio nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia rĩanyu.”
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them a god of gold.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩcooka kũrĩ Jehova, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, kaĩ andũ aya nĩmekĩte rĩhia inene-ĩ! Nĩmethondekeire ngai cia thahabu.
32 Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin —; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.'
No rĩu-rĩ, ndagũthaitha marekere mehia mao; angĩkorwo ndũkũmarekera, o na niĩ tharia ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa wandĩkĩte andũ aku.”
33 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
Nake Jehova agĩcookeria Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩhĩirie, nĩngamũtharia ibuku-inĩ rĩakwa.
34 And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, Mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.'
Rĩu gĩthiĩ, ũtongorie andũ acio mathiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ndaaririe ũhoro waguo, nake mũraika wakwa nĩakamũtongoria. Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũmaherithia yakinya-rĩ, no ngaamaherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao.”
35 And the LORD smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Nake Jehova akĩhũũra andũ acio na mũthiro nĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa meekire na njaũ ĩyo yathondeketwo nĩ Harũni.
