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.”
And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen 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.”
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 Ouinge mwet nukewa eisla yaring gold lalos ac usla nu yorol Aaron.
And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings 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!”
And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders’ work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee 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.”
And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier’s voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.
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.
And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play.
7 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Aksaye tufoki, tuh mwet lom su kom kolma liki Egypt elos orala sie ma na koluk.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.
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 strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
9 Nga etu lupan likkeke lun mwet inge.
And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:
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.”
Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation.
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 besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, whom thou hast 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.
Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of thy 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.”
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to you seed, and you shall possess it for ever.
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.
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against 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.
And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
16 God sifacna El orala eot tupasrpasr luo uh ac kihlisya ma sap uh fac.
And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.
17 Joshua el lohng pusren wowo lun mwet uh ac el fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga lohng pusren mweun ke nien aktuktuk uh.”
And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
18 Moses el fahk, “Tia pusren sasa in kutangla pa ingan, ku pusren tung ke kutangyukla elos, a pusren on.”
But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers.
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.
And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of the mount:
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.
And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strowed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink.
21 El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Mea mwet inge oru nu sum pwanang kom lela nu selos in oru ma na koluk se inge?”
And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
22 Aaron el topuk, “Nimet kasrkusrak sik. Kom etu kuinsrim lun mwet inge nu ke ma koluk.
And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to 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 gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen 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!”
And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
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.
And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked among their enemies, )
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 standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord’s side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto 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.”
And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour.
28 Mwet Levi elos akos, ac uniya akuran tausin tolu mukul Israel ke len sac.
And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
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.”
And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.
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.”
And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
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.
And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass,
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.”
Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
33 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Elos na su orekma koluk lainyu pa nga fah eela inelos liki book nutik.
And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike 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.”
But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs.
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.
The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
