| 1 ولما رأى الشعب ان موسى ابطأ في النزول من الجبل اجتمع الشعب على هرون. وقالوا له قم اصنع لنا آلهة تسير امامنا. لان هذا موسى الرجل الذي اصعدنا من ارض مصر لا نعلم ماذا اصابه. | 1 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Up, make us gods, who shall 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 become of him." |
| 2 فقال لهم هرون انزعوا اقراط الذهب التي في آذان نسائكم وبنيكم وبناتكم وأتوني بها. | 2 And Aaron said to them, "Take off the rings of gold which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." |
| 3 فنزع كل الشعب اقراط الذهب التي في آذانهم وأتوا بها الى هرون. | 3 So all the people took off the rings of gold which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. |
| 4 فاخذ ذلك من ايديهم وصوّره بالازميل وصنعه عجلا مسبوكا. فقالوا هذه آلهتك يا اسرائيل التي اصعدتك من ارض مصر. | 4 And he received the gold at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made a molten calf; and they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!" |
| 5 فلما نظر هرون بنى مذبحا امامه. ونادى هرون وقال غدا عيد للرب. | 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD." |
| 6 فبكروا في الغد واصعدوا محرقات وقدموا ذبائح سلامة. وجلس الشعب للاكل والشرب ثم قاموا للّعب | 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 drink, and rose up to play. |
| 7 فقال الرب لموسى اذهب انزل. لانه قد فسد شعبك الذي اصعدته من ارض مصر. | 7 And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves; |
| 8 زاغوا سريعا عن الطريق الذي اوصيتهم به. صنعوا لهم عجلا مسبوكا وسجدوا له وذبحوا له وقالوا هذه آلهتك يا اسرائيل التي اصعدتك من ارض مصر. | 8 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten calf, and have worshipped it and sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!'" |
| 9 وقال الرب لموسى رأيت هذا الشعب واذا هو شعب صلب الرقبة. | 9 And the LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people; |
| 10 فالآن اتركني ليحمى غضبي عليهم وافنيهم. فاصيّرك شعبا عظيما. | 10 now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them; but of you I will make a great nation." |
| 11 فتضرع موسى امام الرب الهه. وقال لماذا يا رب يحمى غضبك على شعبك الذي اخرجته من ارض مصر بقوّة عظيمة ويد شديدة. | 11 But Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD, why does thy wrath burn hot against thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? |
| 12 لماذا يتكلم المصريون قائلين اخرجهم بخبث ليقتلهم في الجبال ويفنيهم عن وجه الارض. ارجع عن حمو غضبك واندم على الشر بشعبك. | 12 Why should the Egyptians say, 'With evil intent 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. |
| 13 اذكر ابراهيم واسحق واسرائيل عبيدك الذين حلفت لهم بنفسك وقلت لهم اكثر نسلكم كنجوم السماء واعطي نسلكم كل هذه الارض الذي تكلمت عنها فيملكونها الى الابد. | 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thine own self, and didst say to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it for ever.'" |
| 14 فندم الرب على الشر الذي قال انه يفعله بشعبه. | 14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people. |
| 15 فانصرف موسى ونزل من الجبل ولوحا الشهادة في يده. لوحان مكتوبان على جانبيهما. من هنا ومن هنا كانا مكتوبين. | 15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mountain with the two tables of the testimony in his hands, tables that were written on both sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. |
| 16 واللوحان هما صنعة الله والكتابة كتابة الله منقوشة على اللوحين. | 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. |
| 17 وسمع يشوع صوت الشعب في هتافه. فقال لموسى صوت قتال في المحلّة. | 17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp." |
| 18 فقال ليس صوت صياح النصرة ولا صوت صياح الكسرة. بل صوت غناء انا سامع. | 18 But he said, "It is not the sound of shouting for victory, or the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing that I hear." |
| 19 وكان عندما اقترب الى المحلّة انه ابصر العجل والرقص. فحمي غضب موسى وطرح اللوحين من يديه وكسرهما في اسفل الجبل. | 19 And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tables out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. |
| 20 ثم اخذ العجل الذي صنعوا واحرقه بالنار وطحنه حتى صار ناعما وذراه على وجه الماء وسقى بني اسرائيل | 20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the people of Israel drink it. |
| 21 وقال موسى لهرون ماذا صنع بك هذا الشعب حتى جلبت عليه خطية عظيمة. | 21 And Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought a great sin upon them?" |
| 22 فقال هرون لا يحم غضب سيدي. انت تعرف الشعب انه في شر. | 22 And Aaron said, "Let not the anger of my lord burn hot; you know the people, that they are set on evil. |
| 23 فقالوا لي اصنع لنا آلهة تسير امامنا. لان هذا موسى الرجل الذي اصعدنا من ارض مصر لا نعلم ماذا اصابه. | 23 For they said to me, 'Make us gods, who shall 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 become of him.' |
| 24 فقلت لهم من له ذهب فلينزعه ويعطيني. فطرحته في النار فخرج هذا العجل. | 24 And I said to them, 'Let any who have gold take it off'; so they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf." |
| 25 ولما رأى موسى الشعب انه معرّى. لان هرون قد عرّاه للهزء بين مقاوميه. | 25 And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose (for Aaron had let them break loose, to their shame among their enemies), |
| 26 وقف موسى في باب المحلّة. وقال من للرب فإليّ. فاجتمع اليه جميع بني لاوي. | 26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Who is on the LORD's side? Come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. |
| 27 فقال لهم هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل ضعوا كل واحد سيفه على فخذه ومرّوا وارجعوا من باب الى باب في المحلّة واقتلوا كل واحد اخاه وكل واحد صاحبه وكل واحد قريبه. | 27 And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Put every man his sword on his side, 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 neighbor.'" |
| 28 ففعل بنو لاوي بحسب قول موسى. ووقع من الشعب في ذلك اليوم نحو ثلاثة آلاف رجل. | 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. |
| 29 وقال موسى املأوا ايديكم اليوم للرب حتى كل واحد بابنه وباخيه. فيعطيكم اليوم بركة. | 29 And Moses said, "Today you have ordained yourselves for the service of the LORD, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, that he may bestow a blessing upon you this day." |
| 30 وكان في الغد ان موسى قال للشعب انتم قد اخطأتم خطية عظيمة. فاصعد الآن الى الرب لعلي اكفّر خطيتكم. | 30 On the morrow Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin." |
| 31 فرجع موسى الى الرب. وقال آه قد اخطأ هذا الشعب خطية عظيمة وصنعوا لانفسهم آلهة من ذهب. | 31 So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Alas, this people have sinned a great sin; they have made for themselves gods of gold. |
| 32 والآن ان غفرت خطيتهم. والا فامحني من كتابك الذي كتبت. | 32 But now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written." |
| 33 فقال الرب لموسى من اخطأ اليّ امحوه من كتابي. | 33 But the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. |
| 34 والآن اذهب اهد الشعب الى حيث كلمتك. هوذا ملاكي يسير امامك. ولكن في يوم افتقادي افتقد فيهم خطيتهم. | 34 But 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 visit, I will visit their sin upon them." |
| 35 فضرب الرب الشعب. لانهم صنعوا العجل الذي صنعه هرون | 35 And the LORD sent a plague upon the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made. |
