< 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 gods, 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.
Pilnam loh tlang lamkah Moses a suntlak ham yak coeng tila a hmuh. Te dongah pilnam te Aaron taengla tingtun uh tih a taengah, “Thoo lamtah kaimih ham pathen saii laeh. Te te mamih hmai ah cet saeh. Egypt kho lamloh mamih aka khuen Moses he, hlang khaw a taengah mebang a om khaw m'ming uh moenih,” a ti uh.
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.
Te dongah Aaron loh amih te, “Na yuu rhoek, na canu, na capa hna dongkah sui hnaii te dul uh lamtah kai taengah hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
3 And all the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Pilnam pumloh a hna dongkah sui hnaii te a dul uh tih Aaron taengla a khuen uh.
4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Amih kut lamkah a loh phoeiah tah te te cacung neh a dum tih vaito mueihlawn la a saii. Te phoeiah, “Israel nang kah pathen la he, he long ni Egypt kho lamloh nang ng'khuen he,” a ti uh.
5 And when Aaron saw [this], he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.
Aaron loh a hmuh vaengah a hmai ah hmueihtuk a suem. Te phoeiah Aaron loh a hoe tih, “Thangvuen ah BOEIPA taengah khotue om ni,” a ti nah.
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 play.
A vuen ah thoo uh tih hmueihhlutnah a khuen uh. Rhoepnah a tawn phoeiah tah pilnam te ngol tih a caak a ok neh thoo uh tih nuei uh.
7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Egypt kho lamkah na khuen na pilnam he a poci coeng dongah cet lamtah suntla laeh.
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, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Amih ka uen longpuei lamloh vilvak taengphael uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn vaito a saii uh. Te te a bawk uh tih te te a nawn uh. Te phoeiah, “Namah pathen long ni Israel khaw Egypt kho lamloh na khuen,” a ti uh,” a ti nah.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam he ka hmuh vaengah pilnam kah a rhawn khaw mangkhak rhoe he.
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.
Te dongah kai he n'rhoe laeh. Ka thintoek he amih taengah sai vetih amih ka khap lah ve. Tedae nang te namtom taengah pilnu la kang khueh bitni,” a ti nah.
11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Te vaengah Moses tah a Pathen BOEIPA neh a maelhmai te thae coeng. Tedae, “BOEIPA aw balae tih Egypt kho lamloh tanglue thadueng neh, tlungluen kut neh na khuen na pilnam taengah na thintoek khaw a sai eh?
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.
Balae tih Egypt rhoek loh a thui mai eh? A thae la, “Amih te tlang ah ngawn ham neh amih te diklai hman lamloh khah ham ni amih a khuen,” ti ve. Na thintoek thinsa lamloh mael lamtah na pilnam sokah boethae khaw kohlawt mai.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest 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.
Abraham te khaw, Isaak te khaw, na sal Israel te khaw poek mai. Namah loh amih taengah na toemngam tih amih te, 'Na tiingan te vaan aisi bangla, ka ping sak vetih khohmuen pum he na tiingan taengah ka paek vetih kumhal ham a pang uh ni,’ ka ti nah,” na ti,” a ti nah.
14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he said he would do unto his people.
Te vaengah a pilnam soah boethae saii ham a thui tangtae te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt.
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.
Te daengah Moses te mael tih a kut dongkah olphong cabael panit neh tlang lamloh suntla thuk. Cabael rhoi te a vae rhoi ah a daek pah tih khatben ah khaw khatben ah khaw a daek.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Te rhoi tah Pathen kah kutngo cabael coeng tih, Pathen kah a cadaek a cadaek te amah loh cabael dongah a daek.
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.
Pilnam kah a o ol te Joshua loh a yaak van vaengah Moses te, “Rhaehhmuen kah caemtloek ol te,” a ti nah.
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.
Tedae, “Thayung thamal aka doo ham ol pawt tih yawknah aka doo kah ol bal moenih. A doo ol ka yaak ngawn dae,” a ti nah.
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 brake them beneath the mount.
Rhaehhmuen la a moe vaengah vaitoca neh a lam te a hmuh. Te dongah Moses kah thintoek te sai tih a kut te a voeih. Te dongah a kut lamkah cabael rhoi khaw tlang yung ah bok rhek.
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.
Te phoeiah vaitoca a saii uh te a loh tih hmai neh a hoeh. A tip la a neet phoeiah tui soah a phul tih Israel ca rhoek te a tul.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them?
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron te, “A taengah tholh len na khuen pah ham he pilnam loh nang taengah balae a saii?” a ti nah.
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are [set] on evil.
Te vaengah Aaron loh, “Ka boeipa kah thintoek khaw sai boel mai dae saeh. Pilnam a thae aih khaw namah loh na ming.
23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, 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.
Kai taengah, “Kaimih ham pathen saii lamtah te te mamih hmai ah cet bitni. Egypt kho lamloh mamih aka mawt hlang, Moses he a taengah metla a om khaw m'ming moenih,” a ti uh.
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.
Te dongah amih te, “U khaw sui aka tah dul uh,” ka ti nah. Te vaengah kamah taengla m'paek uh tih hmai dongah ka pup hatah he vaitoca la poeh,” a ti nah.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose; for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies:
Te vaengah pilnam te a hlahpham coeng tila Moses loh a hmuh. Amih aka tlai thil taengah Aaron loh nueih thaboep la a hlahpham dong ni.
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.
Te dongah Moses tah rhaehhmuen vongka ah pai tih, “BOEIPA kah te tah kai taengla,” a ti nah hatah Levi koca boeih te anih taengla tingtun uh.
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.
Te phoeiah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang loh a cunghang te a phai ah kaelh saeh. Cet saeh lamtah vongka lamloh vongka patoeng hil rhaehhmuen te hil saeh. Te vaengah a manuca hlang te khaw, a hui kah hlang khaw, a hmaiben hlang khaw ngawn saeh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Moses ol bangla Levi koca rhoek loh a saii uh tih te hnin ah pilnam khuikah hlang thawng thum tluk cungku.
29 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Te daengah Moses loh, “Tihnin ah BOEIPA ham na kut han cung sak coeng. Hlang he a ca taengah khaw a manuca taengah khaw, tihnin ah nangmih te yoethennah m'paek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
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.
A vuen ah tah Moses loh pilnam te, “Nangmih he tholh len neh na tholh uh coeng dae BOEIPA taengah ka cet pawn vetih nangmih kah tholhnah ham ka dawth thai khaming,” a ti nah.
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
Te phoeiah Moses te BOEIPA taengla mael tih, “Pilnam he aw, amamih ham sui pathen a saii uh dongah tholh len neh tholh coeng.
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.
Tedae amih kah tholhnah phuei mai laeh. Te pawt atah kai he na daek tangtae na cabu lamloh n'khoe mai laeh,” a ti nah.
33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Kai taengah aka tholh te unim? Anih te ka cabu lamloh ka khoe bitni.
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.
Te dongah cet lamtah nang taengah kan thui bangla pilnam te mawt laeh. Ka puencawn loh na hmai ah cet bitni ne. Ka cawh khohnin ah ngawn tah amamih kah tholhnah bangla amamih soah ka cawh van bitni,” a ti nah.
35 And the LORD smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Aaron kah a saii bangla vaitoca te a saii uh dongah BOEIPA loh pilnam te a vuek.
