Weyshii Dahabka Ahayd

32 Oo markii dadkii arkay in Muuse raagay oo uusan buurtii ka soo degin, ayaa dadkii iyagoo urursan Haaruun u yimaadeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Kac, oo inoo samee ilaahyo ina hor socda; waayo, Muusahan oo ah ninkii inaga soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, garan mayno wax ku dhacay. Markaasaa Haaruun wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Soo bixiya hilqadaha dahabka ah oo dhegaha ugu jira naagihiinna, iyo wiilashiinna, iyo gabdhihiinna, oo ii keena. Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu waxay soo bixiyeen hilqadihii dahabka ahaa oo dhegaha ugu jiray oo waxay u keeneen Haaruun. Kolkaasuu gacmahooda ka guddoomay, oo wuxuu ku xardhay alaabta wax lagu xardho, wuxuuna ka sameeyey weyl dahab la shubay ah; oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Reer binu Israa'iilow, kanu waa ilaahiinnii dalka Masar idinka soo waday. Oo Haaruun markuu arkay ayuu meel allabari ka hor dhisay, markaasaa Haaruun ogeysiis ku dhawaaqay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Berri waa iiddii Rabbiga. Markaasay subaxdii dambe aroor hore keceen, oo waxay bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo, oo waxay keeneen qurbaanno nabaadiino, markaasay dadkii u fadhiisteen inay wax cunaan oo wax cabbaan, oo ay u keceen inay cayaaraan.

Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Kac oo hoos u deg, waayo, dadkaagii aad dalkii Masar ka soo bixisay, way iskharribeen, oo haddiiba way ka leexdeen jidkii aan ku amray, oo waxay samaysteen weyl dahab la shubay ah, wayna caabudeen, oo allabarina way u bixiyeen, oo waxayna yidhaahdeen, Reer binu Israa'iilow, kanu waa ilaahiinnii dalka Masar idinka soo waday. Kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Anigu dadkan waan arkay oo waa dad madax adag, 10 haddaba iska kay daa, aan aad ugu cadhoodee, oo aan kulligood baabbi'iyee, oo waxaan adiga kaa dhigi doonaa quruun weyn. 11 Markaasaa Muuse baryay Rabbiga Ilaahiis ah oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, maxaad aad ugu cadhoonaysaa dadkaaga aad dalkii Masar kaga soo bixisay itaal weyn iyo gacan xoog leh? 12 Bal Masriyiintu maxay u odhan doonaan, Wuxuu iyaga u saaray xumaan inuu buuraha ku laayo iyo inuu dhulka iyaga ka baabbi'iyo? Rabbiyow, ka leexo cadhadaada kulul oo ka noqo xumaantan aad damacsan tahay inaad dadkaaga ku samaysid. 13 Bal xusuuso addoommadaadii ahaa Ibraahim, iyo Isxaaq, iyo Israa'iil, oo aad naftaada ugu dhaaratay, oo aad ku tidhi, Farcankiinna waxaan u badin doonaa sida xiddigaha cirka, oo dalkan aan ka hadlay oo dhan waxaan siin doonaa farcankiinna, wayna dhaxli doonaan weligood. 14 Markaasaa Rabbigu ka noqday xumaantii uu damacsanaa inuu dadkiisa ku sameeyo.

15 Markaasuu Muuse jeestay, oo buurtii hoos uga degay, isagoo labadii loox oo maragga ahaa gacanta ku sita, looxyadana wax baa kaga qornaa labadooda dhinacba; oo dhankan iyo dhankaasba wax qoran baa kaga yiil. 16 Oo looxyadu waxay ahaayeen shuqulkii Ilaah, oo farta ku qoranuna waxay ahayd fartii Ilaah oo looxyada ku xardhan. 17 Oo markii Yashuuca maqlay qayladii ay dadku ku qaylinayeen ayuu Muuse ku yidhi, War xeradii qaylo colaadeed baa ka yeedhaysa. 18 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Kaasu ma aha codka kuwa guulaysta, mana aha codka kuwa laga adkaado, laakiinse waxaan maqlayaa kuwa gabyaya codkood.

19 Oo markuu xeradii ku soo dhowaaday wuxuu arkay weyshii iyo cayaartii; markaasaa Muuse aad u cadhooday, looxyadiina gacmihiisa wuu ka tuuray, oo wuxuu ku jejebiyey buurta hoosteedii. 20 Markaasuu weyshii ay samaysteen qaaday, dab buuna ku gubay oo daqiijiyey, oo intuu biyaha ku dul daadiyey ayuu reer binu Israa'iil cabsiiyey. 21 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Haaruun ku yidhi, War maxaa dadkanu kugu sameeyey oo aad dembi weyn ugu keentay? 22 Markaasaa Haaruun wuxuu yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, bal ha ii cadhoon; waayo, adiguba waad og tahay inay dadkanu sharka jecel yihiin. 23 Waayo, waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Inoo samee ilaahyo ina hor socda, waayo, Muusahan oo ah ninkii inaga soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, garan mayno wax ku dhacay. 24 Markaasaan ku idhi, Ku alla kii dahab haystaa, ha siibo. Kolkaasay i siiyeen, anna dabkaan ku tuuray, oo waxaa ka soo baxday weyshan.

25 Oo markii Muuse arkay in dadkii layska sii daayay, waayo, Haaruun baa sii daayay oo ku kashifay cadaawayaashooda hortooda, 26 ayuu Muuse istaagay xerada iriddeedii, oo wuxuu yidhi, Ku alla kii Rabbiga la gees ahow, ii kaalay. Markaasay reer Laawi oo dhammu agtiisa ku soo urureen. 27 Markaasuu wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil sidan buu leeyahay, Nin waluba seeftiisa dhinaca ha ku xidho, oo kulligiin irid ilaa irid xerada hore iyo dib u dhex qaada, oo nin waluba ha dilo walaalkiis, iyo saaxiibkiis, iyo deriskiisaba. 28 Oo reer Laawi waxay yeeleen hadalkii Muuse, oo maalintaas dadkii waxaa ka dhintay qiyaastii saddex kun oo nin. 29 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu ku yidhi, Inuu maanta barako idinku soo dejiyo aawadeed, Rabbiga quduus isaga dhiga oo nin waluba ha ka gees noqdo wiilkiisa iyo walaalkiisba.

30 Oo waxaa dhacday, in Muuse maalintii dambe dadkii ku yidhi, Idinku dembi weyn baad samayseen, oo haatan waxaan kor ugu tegayaa Rabbiga; mindhaa dembigiinna aawadiis ayaan u kafaaro gudi doonaaye. 31 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu ku noqday Rabbiga xaggiisa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal dadkanu dembi weyn bay sameeyeen, oo waxay samaysteen ilaahyo dahab ah. 32 Laakiin hadda haddaad dembigooda cafidid; haddii kalese waan ku baryayaaye, kitaabkaaga aad qortay iga tir. 33 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Ku alla kii igu dembaabay weeye kan aan kitaabkayga ka tirayaa. 34 Ee haddaba tag, oo meeshii aan kaala hadlay dadka u hor kac, oo bal eeg, malaa'igtayda ayaa ku hor kici doontee; habase yeeshee maalinta aan soo booqdo ayaan dembigooda u ciqaabi doonaa. 35 Markaasaa Rabbigu dadkii belaayo ku riday, waayo, waxay sameeyeen weyshii taasoo tii Haaruun sameeyey ahayd.

The Golden Calf

32 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain,(A) they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[a] who will go before(B) us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.”(C)

Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings(D) that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He took what they handed him and made it into an idol(E) cast in the shape of a calf,(F) fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods,[b](G) Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”(H)

When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival(I) to the Lord.” So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings.(J) Afterward they sat down to eat and drink(K) and got up to indulge in revelry.(L)

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt,(M) have become corrupt.(N) They have been quick to turn away(O) from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol(P) cast in the shape of a calf.(Q) They have bowed down to it and sacrificed(R) to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’(S)

“I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked(T) people. 10 Now leave me alone(U) so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy(V) them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”(W)

11 But Moses sought the favor(X) of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?(Y) 12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’?(Z) Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster(AA) on your people. 13 Remember(AB) your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self:(AC) ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars(AD) in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land(AE) I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” 14 Then the Lord relented(AF) and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

15 Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law(AG) in his hands.(AH) They were inscribed(AI) on both sides, front and back. 16 The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.(AJ)

17 When Joshua(AK) heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “There is the sound of war in the camp.”

18 Moses replied:

“It is not the sound of victory,
    it is not the sound of defeat;
    it is the sound of singing that I hear.”

19 When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf(AL) and the dancing,(AM) his anger burned(AN) and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces(AO) at the foot of the mountain. 20 And he took the calf the people had made and burned(AP) it in the fire; then he ground it to powder,(AQ) scattered it on the water(AR) and made the Israelites drink it.

21 He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?”

22 “Do not be angry,(AS) my lord,” Aaron answered. “You know how prone these people are to evil.(AT) 23 They said to me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.’(AU) 24 So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!”(AV)

25 Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock(AW) to their enemies. 26 So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.

27 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’”(AX) 28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. 29 Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”

30 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin.(AY) But now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement(AZ) for your sin.”

31 So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed!(BA) They have made themselves gods of gold.(BB) 32 But now, please forgive their sin(BC)—but if not, then blot me(BD) out of the book(BE) you have written.”

33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out(BF) of my book. 34 Now go, lead(BG) the people to the place(BH) I spoke of, and my angel(BI) will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish,(BJ) I will punish them for their sin.”

35 And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf(BK) Aaron had made.
