< Исход 32 >

1 И видевше людие, яко умедли Моисей снити с горы, восташа людие на Аарона и глаголаша ему: востани и сотвори нам боги, иже пойдут пред нами: Моисей бо сей человек, иже изведе нас от земли Египетския, не вемы, что бысть ему.
When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”
2 И рече им Аарон: измите усерязи златыя, яже во ушесех жен ваших и дщерей, и принесите ко мне.
Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 И изяша вси людие усерязи златы, яже во ушесех жен их, и принесоша ко Аарону.
All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 И взя от рук их и слия их делом литым, и сотвори им телца литаго. И рекоша: сии бози твои, Израилю, иже изведоша тя из земли Египетския.
He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a moulded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
5 И видев Аарон, созда олтарь прямо ему, и проповеда Аарон, глаголя: праздник Господнь утре.
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
6 И обутреневав наутрие, вознесе всесожжения и принесе жертву спасения. И седоша людие ясти и пити и восташа играти.
They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 И рече Господь к Моисею глаголя: иди скоро, сниди отсюду, беззаконноваша бо людие твои, ихже извел еси из земли Египетския:
The LORD spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!
8 преступиша с пути скоро, егоже заповедал еси им: сотвориша себе телца, и поклонишася ему, и пожроша ему, и реша:
They have turned away quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a moulded calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 сии бози твои, Израилю, иже изведоша тя из земли Египетския:
The LORD said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 и ныне остави Мя, и возярився гневом на ня, потреблю их, и сотворю тя в язык велик.
Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
11 И помолися Моисей пред Господем Богом и рече: вскую, Господи, яришися гневом на люди Твоя, ихже извел еси из земли Египетския крепостию великою и мышцею Твоею высокою?
Moses begged the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Да не когда рекут Египтяне, глаголюще: с лукавством изведе их погубити в горах и потребити их от земли: утоли гнев ярости Твоея и милостив буди о злобе людий Твоих,
Why should the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath, and turn away from this evil against your people.
13 помянув Авраама и Исаака и Иакова, Твоя рабы, имже клялся еси Собою, и рекл еси к ним, глаголя: зело умножу семя ваше, яко звезды небесныя множеством, и всю сию землю, юже рекл еси дати семени их, и обладают ею во веки.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
14 И умилостивися Господь о зле, еже рече сотворити людем Своим.
So the LORD turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.
15 И возвратився Моисей, сниде с горы: и две скрижали свидения в руку его, скрижали каменны написаны от обою страну их, сюду и сюду быша написаны:
Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.
16 и скрижали дело Божие быша, и написание, написание Божие изваяно на скрижалех.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 И услышав Иисус глас людий кричащих, рече к Моисею: глас ратный в полце.
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
18 И рече Моисей: несть глас начинающих одолевати, ниже глас начинающих бежати, но глас начинающих напиватися вином аз слышу.
He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”
19 И егда приближашеся к полку, узре телца и лики: и возярився гневом Моисей, поверже из руку своею обе скрижали, и сокруши я под горою:
As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
20 и взем телца, егоже сотвориша, сожже его во огни и сотре его подробну, и разсыпа его по воде, и напои ею сыны Израилевы.
He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
21 И рече Моисей Аарону: что сотвориша тебе людие сии, яко навел еси на них грех велик?
Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”
22 И рече Аарон к Моисею: не гневайся, господине: ты бо веси людий сих устремление.
Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23 Глаголаша бо ми: сотвори нам боги, иже пойдут пред нами: Моисей бо сей человек, иже изведе ны от Египта, не вемы, что бысть ему:
For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
24 и рекох им: иже имать злато, измите: и изяша, и даша мне, и ввергох е во огнь, и излияся телец сей.
I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.’ So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 Видев же Моисей люди, яко разделишася, раздели бо их Аарон в порадование супостатом их:
When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision amongst their enemies),
26 ста же Моисей во вратех полка и рече: аще кто есть Господнь, да идет ко мне. Снидошася убо к нему вси сынове Левиины.
then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the LORD’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 И рече им: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: препояшите кийждо свой мечь при бедре и пройдите, и возвратитеся от врат до врат сквозе полк, и убийте кийждо брата своего и кийждо ближняго своего и кийждо соседа своего.
He said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.’”
28 И сотвориша сынове Левиины, якоже глагола им Моисей: и паде от людий в той день до трех тысящ мужей.
The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people that day.
29 И рече им Моисей: наполнисте руки вашя днесь Господу, кийждо в сыне своем и в брате своем, да дастся на вас благословение.
Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today.”
30 И бысть на утрие, рече Моисей к людем: вы согрешисте грех велик: и ныне взыду к Богу, да умолю о гресе вашем.
On the next day, Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”
31 И возвратися Моисей ко Господу и рече: молюся ти, Господи: согрешиша людие сии грех велик и сотвориша себе боги златы:
Moses returned to the LORD, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
32 и ныне, аще убо оставиши им грех их, остави: аще же ни, изглади мя из книги Твоея, в нюже вписал еси.
Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
33 И рече Господь к Моисею: аще кто согреши предо Мною, изглажу его из книги Моея:
The LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book.
34 ныне же иди, сниди и возведи люди сия на место, еже рех тебе: се, Ангел Мой предидет пред лицем твоим: в оньже день присещу, наведу на них грех их.
Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 И порази Господь люди за сотворение телца, егоже сотвори Аарон.
The LORD struck the people, because of what they did with the calf, which Aaron made.
