LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 και ιδων ο λαος οτι κεχρονικεν μωυσης καταβηναι εκ του ορους συνεστη ο λαος επι ααρων και λεγουσιν αυτω αναστηθι και ποιησον ημιν θεους οι προπορευσονται ημων ο γαρ μωυσης ουτος ο ανθρωπος ος εξηγαγεν ημας εξ αιγυπτου ουκ οιδαμεν τι γεγονεν αυτω	1 When the people saw that Moses was a long time before coming down the mountain, they gatheredround Aaron and said to him, 'Get to work, make us a god to go at our head; for that Moses, the man whobrought us here from Egypt -- we do not know what has become of him.'
2 και λεγει αυτοις ααρων περιελεσθε τα ενωτια τα χρυσα τα εν τοις ωσιν των γυναικων υμων και θυγατερων και ενεγκατε προς με	2 Aaron replied, 'Strip off the gold rings in the ears of your wives and your sons and daughters, andbring them to me.'
3 και περιειλαντο πας ο λαος τα ενωτια τα χρυσα τα εν τοις ωσιν αυτων και ηνεγκαν προς ααρων	3 The people al stripped off the gold rings from their ears and brought them to Aaron.
4 και εδεξατο εκ των χειρων αυτων και επλασεν αυτα εν τη γραφιδι και εποιησεν αυτα μοσχον χωνευτον και ειπεν ουτοι οι θεοι σου ισραηλ οιτινες ανεβιβασαν σε εκ γης αιγυπτου	4 He received what they gave him, melted it down in a mould and with it made the statue of a calf.'Israel,' the people shouted, 'here is your God who brought you here from Egypt!'
5 και ιδων ααρων ωκοδομησεν θυσιαστηριον κατεναντι αυτου και εκηρυξεν ααρων λεγων εορτη του κυριου αυριον	5 Observing this, Aaron built an altar before the statue and made this proclamation, 'Tomorrow will be afeast in Yahweh's honour.'
6 και ορθρισας τη επαυριον ανεβιβασεν ολοκαυτωματα και προσηνεγκεν θυσιαν σωτηριου και εκαθισεν ο λαος φαγειν και πιειν και ανεστησαν παιζειν	6 Early next morning they sacrificed burnt offerings and brought communion sacrifices. The people thensat down to eat and drink, and afterwards got up to amuse themselves.
7 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων βαδιζε το ταχος εντευθεν καταβηθι ηνομησεν γαρ ο λαος σου ους εξηγαγες εκ γης αιγυπτου	7 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Go down at once, for your people whom you brought here from Egypthave become corrupt.
8 παρεβησαν ταχυ εκ της οδου ης ενετειλω αυτοις εποιησαν εαυτοις μοσχον και προσκεκυνηκασιν αυτω και τεθυκασιν αυτω και ειπαν ουτοι οι θεοι σου ισραηλ οιτινες ανεβιβασαν σε εκ γης αιγυπτου	8 They have quickly left the way which I ordered them to fol ow. They have cast themselves a metal calf,worshipped it and offered sacrifice to it, shouting, "Israel, here is your God who brought you here from Egypt!" '
9 -	9 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'I know these people; I know how obstinate they are!
10 και νυν εασον με και θυμωθεις οργη εις αυτους εκτριψω αυτους και ποιησω σε εις εθνος μεγα	10 So leave me now, so that my anger can blaze at them and I can put an end to them! I shal make agreat nation out of you instead.'
11 και εδεηθη μωυσης εναντι κυριου του θεου και ειπεν ινα τι κυριε θυμοι οργη εις τον λαον σου ους εξηγαγες εκ γης αιγυπτου εν ισχυι μεγαλη και εν τω βραχιονι σου τω υψηλω	11 Moses tried to pacify Yahweh his God. 'Yahweh,' he said, 'why should your anger blaze at yourpeople, whom you have brought out of Egypt by your great power and mighty hand?
12 μηποτε ειπωσιν οι αιγυπτιοι λεγοντες μετα πονηριας εξηγαγεν αυτους αποκτειναι εν τοις ορεσιν και εξαναλωσαι αυτους απο της γης παυσαι της οργης του θυμου σου και ιλεως γενου επι τη κακια του λαου σου	12 Why should the Egyptians say, "He brought them out with evil intention, to slaughter them in themountains and wipe them off the face of the earth?" Give up your burning wrath; relent over this disasterintended for your people.
13 μνησθεις αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ των σων οικετων οις ωμοσας κατα σεαυτου και ελαλησας προς αυτους λεγων πολυπληθυνω το σπερμα υμων ωσει τα αστρα του ουρανου τω πληθει και πασαν την γην ταυτην ην ειπας δουναι τω σπερματι αυτων και καθεξουσιν αυτην εις τον αιωνα	13 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to whom you swore by your very self andmade this promise: "I shal make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and this whole country ofwhich I have spoken, I shal give to your descendants, and it wil be their heritage for ever." '
14 και ιλασθη κυριος περι της κακιας ης ειπεν ποιησαι τον λαον αυτου	14 Yahweh then relented over the disaster which he had intended to inflict on his people.
15 και αποστρεψας μωυσης κατεβη απο του ορους και αι δυο πλακες του μαρτυριου εν ταις χερσιν αυτου πλακες λιθιναι καταγεγραμμεναι εξ αμφοτερων των μερων αυτων ενθεν και ενθεν ησαν γεγραμμεναι	15 Moses turned and came down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands,tablets inscribed on both sides, inscribed on the front and on the back.
16 και αι πλακες εργον θεου ησαν και η γραφη γραφη θεου εστιν κεκολαμμενη εν ταις πλαξιν	16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing on them was God's writing, engraved on thetablets.
17 και ακουσας ιησους την φωνην του λαου κραζοντων λεγει προς μωυσην φωνη πολεμου εν τη παρεμβολη	17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, 'There is the sound of battlein the camp!'
18 και λεγει ουκ εστιν φωνη εξαρχοντων κατ' ισχυν ουδε φωνη εξαρχοντων τροπης αλλα φωνην εξαρχοντων οινου εγω ακουω	18 But he replied: No song of victory is this sound, no lament for defeat this sound; but answeringchoruses I hear!
19 και ηνικα ηγγιζεν τη παρεμβολη ορα τον μοσχον και τους χορους και οργισθεις θυμω μωυσης ερριψεν απο των χειρων αυτου τας δυο πλακας και συνετριψεν αυτας υπο το ορος	19 And there, as he approached the camp, he saw the calf and the groups dancing. Moses blazed withanger. He threw down the tablets he was holding, shattering them at the foot of the mountain.
20 και λαβων τον μοσχον ον εποιησαν κατεκαυσεν αυτον εν πυρι και κατηλεσεν αυτον λεπτον και εσπειρεν αυτον επι το υδωρ και εποτισεν αυτο τους υιους ισραηλ	20 He seized the calf they had made and burned it, grinding it into powder which he scattered on thewater, and made the Israelites drink it.
21 και ειπεν μωυσης τω ααρων τι εποιησεν σοι ο λαος ουτος οτι επηγαγες επ' αυτους αμαρτιαν μεγαλην	21 Moses then said to Aaron, 'What have these people done to you for you to have brought so great asin on them?'
22 και ειπεν ααρων προς μωυσην μη οργιζου κυριε συ γαρ οιδας το ορμημα του λαου τουτου	22 Aaron replied, 'My lord should not be so angry. You yourself know what a bad state these people arein!
23 λεγουσιν γαρ μοι ποιησον ημιν θεους οι προπορευσονται ημων ο γαρ μωυσης ουτος ο ανθρωπος ος εξηγαγεν ημας εξ αιγυπτου ουκ οιδαμεν τι γεγονεν αυτω	23 They said to me, "Make us a god to go at our head; for that Moses, the man who brought us herefrom Egypt -- we do not know what has become of him."
24 και ειπα αυτοις ει τινι υπαρχει χρυσια περιελεσθε και εδωκαν μοι και ερριψα εις το πυρ και εξηλθεν ο μοσχος ουτος	24 I then said to them, "Anyone with gold, strip it off!" They gave it to me. I threw it into the fire and out came this calf!'
25 και ιδων μωυσης τον λαον οτι διεσκεδασται διεσκεδασεν γαρ αυτους ααρων επιχαρμα τοις υπεναντιοις αυτων	25 When Moses saw that the people were out of hand -- for Aaron had let them get out of hand to thederision of their enemies al round them-
26 εστη δε μωυσης επι της πυλης της παρεμβολης και ειπεν τις προς κυριον ιτω προς με συνηλθον ουν προς αυτον παντες οι υιοι λευι	26 Moses then stood at the gate of the camp and shouted, 'Who is for Yahweh? To me!' And al theLevites ral ied round him.
27 και λεγει αυτοις ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ θεσθε εκαστος την εαυτου ρομφαιαν επι τον μηρον και διελθατε και ανακαμψατε απο πυλης επι πυλην δια της παρεμβολης και αποκτεινατε εκαστος τον αδελφον αυτου και εκαστος τον πλησιον αυτου και εκαστος τον εγγιστα αυτου	27 He said to them, 'Yahweh, God of Israel, says this, "Buckle on your sword, each of you, and go upand down the camp from gate to gate, every man of you slaughtering brother, friend and neighbour." '
28 και εποιησαν οι υιοι λευι καθα ελαλησεν αυτοις μωυσης και επεσαν εκ του λαου εν εκεινη τη ημερα εις τρισχιλιους ανδρας	28 The Levites did as Moses said, and of the people about three thousand men perished that day.
29 και ειπεν αυτοις μωυσης επληρωσατε τας χειρας υμων σημερον κυριω εκαστος εν τω υιω η τω αδελφω δοθηναι εφ' υμας ευλογιαν	29 'Today', Moses said, 'you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh, one at the cost of his son,another of his brother; and so he bestows a blessing on you today.'
30 και εγενετο μετα την αυριον ειπεν μωυσης προς τον λαον υμεις ημαρτηκατε αμαρτιαν μεγαλην και νυν αναβησομαι προς τον θεον ινα εξιλασωμαι περι της αμαρτιας υμων	30 On the fol owing day Moses said to the people, 'You have committed a great sin. But now I shal goup to Yahweh: perhaps I can secure expiation for your sin.'
31 υπεστρεψεν δε μωυσης προς κυριον και ειπεν δεομαι κυριε ημαρτηκεν ο λαος ουτος αμαρτιαν μεγαλην και εποιησαν εαυτοις θεους χρυσους	31 Moses then went back to Yahweh and said, 'Oh, this people has committed a great sin by makingthemselves a god of gold.
32 και νυν ει μεν αφεις αυτοις την αμαρτιαν αφες ει δε μη εξαλειψον με εκ της βιβλου σου ης εγραψας	32 And yet, if it pleased you to forgive their sin. . .! If not, please blot me out of the book you havewritten!'
33 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην ει τις ημαρτηκεν ενωπιον μου εξαλειψω αυτον εκ της βιβλου μου	33 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Those who have sinned against me are the ones I shal blot out of my book.
34 νυνι δε βαδιζε καταβηθι και οδηγησον τον λαον τουτον εις τον τοπον ον ειπα σοι ιδου ο αγγελος μου προπορευεται προ προσωπου σου η δ' αν ημερα επισκεπτωμαι επαξω επ' αυτους την αμαρτιαν αυτων	34 So now go and lead the people to the place I promised to you. My angel will indeed go at your headbut, on the day of punishment, I shall punish them for their sin.'
35 και επαταξεν κυριος τον λαον περι της ποιησεως του μοσχου ου εποιησεν ααρων	35 And Yahweh punished the people for having made the calf, the one Aaron had made.
