Pagdaog Paagi sa Bulig sang Dios

“Pamati kamo, katawhan sang Israel. Manugtabok na kamo sa Jordan agod panag-iyahan ang mga nasyon nga mas dalagko kag mas gamhanan pa sang sa inyo. Ang ila sini mga banwa dalagko kag may mataas nga mga pader nga daw nagalambot na sa langit. Ang ila mga pumuluyo makusog kag mataas—mga kaliwat ni Anak! Nahibaluan man ninyo ang parte sa mga kaliwat ni Anak kag nabatian ninyo nga wala sing may makabato sa ila. Pero karon makita ninyo nga ang Ginoo nga inyo Dios magauna tabok sa inyo nga daw pareho sa kalayo nga nagapanglamon sa inyo mga kaaway. Pierdihon niya sila agod madali ninyo sila matabog kag malaglag suno sa ginpromisa sang Ginoo sa inyo.

“Kon mapatabog na gani sila sa inyo sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios, indi kamo magsiling sa inyo kaugalingon, ‘Gindala kita diri sang Ginoo sa pagpanag-iya sining duta tungod kay matarong kita.’ Indi amo sina. Ipatabog sila sang Ginoo sa inyo tungod kay malaot sila nga mga nasyon. Panag-iyahan ninyo ang ila duta indi tungod kay matarong kamo ukon maayo kamo nga mga tawo kundi tungod kay malaot sila, kag agod matuman sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios ang iya ginsumpa sa inyo mga katigulangan nga si Abraham, Isaac, kag Jacob. Gani dumdumon ninyo nga indi tungod nga mga matarong kamo nga ginahatag sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios ining maayo nga duta nga inyo panag-iyahan, kay sa matuod lang, mga matig-a kamo sing ulo.

“Dumduma ninyo kon paano ninyo ginpaakig ang Ginoo nga inyo Dios sa kamingawan. Halin sang adlaw nga nagguwa kamo sa Egipto hasta subong permi lang kamo nagarebelde sa Ginoo. Bisan didto sa Bukid sang Sinai,[a] ginpaakig ninyo ang Ginoo, gani gusto na lang niya nga pamatyon kamo. Sang nagsaka ako sa bukid sa pagkuha sang malapad nga mga bato nga sa diin nasulat ang kasugtanan sang Ginoo nga iya ginhimo sa inyo, nagpabilin ako didto sa sulod sang 40 ka adlaw kag 40 ka gab-i nga wala sing kaon-kaon kag inom-inom. 10 Ginhatag sang Ginoo sa akon ang duha ka malapad nga bato nga siya mismo ang nagsulat sang tanan nga pulong nga ginhambal niya sa inyo halin sa kalayo didto sa Bukid sang Sinai samtang nagatipon kamo.

11 “Ining duha ka malapad nga bato nga sa diin nasulat ang kasugtanan ginhatag sang Ginoo sa akon pagkatapos sang 40 ka adlaw kag 40 ka gab-i. 12 Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo sa akon, ‘Panaog ka gilayon kay ang imo katawhan nga imo ginpangunahan sa pagguwa sa Egipto nangin malaot na. Kadali lang sa ila magtalikod sa akon mga ginsugo sa ila kag naghimo sila sang dios-dios para simbahon nila.’

13 “Kag nagsiling pa gid ang Ginoo sa akon, ‘Nakita ko kon daw ano katig-a ang mga ulo sang sini nga katawhan. 14 Pabay-i lang ako nga laglagon ko sila agod malimtan na sila. Dayon himuon ko ikaw kag ang imo mga kaliwat nga isa ka nasyon nga mas gamhanan kag mas madamo pa sang sa ila.’

15 “Gani nagdulhog ako halin sa nagadabadaba nga bukid nga dala ang duha ka malapad nga bato nga sa diin nasulat ang kasugtanan. 16 Kag nakita ko kamo nga nagpakasala sa Ginoo nga inyo Dios. Naghimo kamo sang dios-dios nga torite nga baka. Kadali lang sa inyo magtalikod sa mga ginsugo sang Ginoo sa inyo. 17 Gani sa inyo atubangan ginlampos ko ang duha ka malapad nga bato kag nagkaladugmok ini.

18 “Dayon naghapa ako sa atubangan sang Ginoo sa sulod sang 40 ka adlaw kag 40 ka gab-i nga wala sing kaon-kaon kag inom-inom, tungod sa tanan nga sala nga inyo ginhimo. Malaot gid sa panulok sang Ginoo ang inyo ginhimo kag nakapaakig gid sa iya. 19 Nahadlok ako sa puwerte nga kaakig sang Ginoo kontra sa inyo, kay basi bala pamatyon niya kamo. Pero ginpamatian gihapon ako sang Ginoo. 20 Kag puwerte man sadto ang kaakig sang Ginoo kay Aaron kag gusto man niya siya nga patyon, pero sadto nga tion nagpangamuyo man ako para sa iya. 21 Dayon ginkuha ko ang baka nga inyo ginhimo, nga nagtulod sa inyo sa pagpakasala, kag gintunaw ko ini sa kalayo. Pagkatapos gindugmok ko gid ini pareho kapino sang yab-ok, kag ginsabwag sa ililigan sang tubig nga nagahalin sa bukid.

22 “Ginpaakig man ninyo ang Ginoo didto sa Tabera, sa Masa, kag sa Kibrot Hataava.

23 “Sang ginpalakat kamo sang Ginoo halin sa Kadesh Barnea nagsiling siya sa inyo, ‘Lakat kamo kag panag-iyahi na ninyo ang duta nga ginahatag ko sa inyo.’ Pero nagrebelde kamo; wala ninyo pagtumana ang sugo sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios. Wala kamo nagsalig ukon nagtuman sa iya. 24 Halin sang nakilala ko kamo puro lang pagrebelde sa Ginoo ang inyo ginahimo.

25 “Amo gani nga naghapa ako sadto sa presensya sang Ginoo sa sulod sang 40 ka adlaw kag 40 ka gab-i tungod kay nagsiling ang Ginoo nga laglagon niya kamo. 26 Nagpangamuyo ako sa Ginoo, ‘O Ginoong Dios, indi paglaglaga ang katawhan nga imo ginapanag-iyahan. Ginluwas mo sila kag ginpaguwa sa Egipto paagi sa imo puwerte nga gahom. 27 Indi pagsapaka ang pagkatig-a sing ulo, ang pagkamalaot, kag ang mga sala sang sini nga katawhan, kundi dumduma ang imo mga alagad nga si Abraham, Isaac, kag Jacob. 28 Kon laglagon mo sila, masiling ang mga Egiptohanon, “Ginlaglag sila sang Ginoo kay indi siya makasarang sa pagdala sa ila sa duta nga iya ginpromisa sa ila.” Ukon magasiling sila, “Ginlaglag sila sang Ginoo tungod kay akig siya sa ila; ginpaguwa niya sila sa Egipto kag gindala sa kamingawan agod pamatyon.”

29 “ ‘Pero imo sila nga katawhan. Sila ang katawhan nga imo ginapanag-iyahan nga ginpaguwa mo sa Egipto paagi sa imo puwerte nga gahom.’

Not Because of Israel’s Righteousness

Hear, Israel: You are now about to cross the Jordan(A) to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you,(B) with large cities(C) that have walls up to the sky.(D) The people are strong and tall—Anakites! You know about them and have heard it said: “Who can stand up against the Anakites?”(E) But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you(F) like a devouring fire.(G) He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly,(H) as the Lord has promised you.

After the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself,(I) “The Lord has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.” No, it is on account of the wickedness(J) of these nations(K) that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity(L) that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness(M) of these nations,(N) the Lord your God will drive them out(O) before you, to accomplish what he swore(P) to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.(Q) Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.(R)

The Golden Calf

Remember this and never forget how you aroused the anger(S) of the Lord your God in the wilderness. From the day you left Egypt until you arrived here, you have been rebellious(T) against the Lord.(U) At Horeb you aroused the Lord’s wrath(V) so that he was angry enough to destroy you.(W) When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant(X) that the Lord had made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days(Y) and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water.(Z) 10 The Lord gave me two stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God.(AA) On them were all the commandments the Lord proclaimed to you on the mountain out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.(AB)

11 At the end of the forty days and forty nights,(AC) the Lord gave me the two stone tablets,(AD) the tablets of the covenant. 12 Then the Lord told me, “Go down from here at once, because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have become corrupt.(AE) They have turned away quickly(AF) from what I commanded them and have made an idol for themselves.”

13 And the Lord said to me, “I have seen this people(AG), and they are a stiff-necked people indeed! 14 Let me alone,(AH) so that I may destroy them and blot out(AI) their name from under heaven.(AJ) And I will make you into a nation stronger and more numerous than they.”

15 So I turned and went down from the mountain while it was ablaze with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my hands.(AK) 16 When I looked, I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God; you had made for yourselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf.(AL) You had turned aside quickly from the way that the Lord had commanded you. 17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, breaking them to pieces before your eyes.

18 Then once again I fell(AM) prostrate before the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water,(AN) because of all the sin you had committed,(AO) doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight and so arousing his anger. 19 I feared the anger and wrath of the Lord, for he was angry enough with you to destroy you.(AP) But again the Lord listened to me.(AQ) 20 And the Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I prayed for Aaron too. 21 Also I took that sinful thing of yours, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust(AR) and threw the dust into a stream that flowed down the mountain.(AS)

22 You also made the Lord angry(AT) at Taberah,(AU) at Massah(AV) and at Kibroth Hattaavah.(AW)

23 And when the Lord sent you out from Kadesh Barnea,(AX) he said, “Go up and take possession(AY) of the land I have given you.” But you rebelled(AZ) against the command of the Lord your God. You did not trust(BA) him or obey him. 24 You have been rebellious against the Lord ever since I have known you.(BB)

25 I lay prostrate before the Lord those forty days and forty nights(BC) because the Lord had said he would destroy you.(BD) 26 I prayed to the Lord and said, “Sovereign Lord, do not destroy your people,(BE) your own inheritance(BF) that you redeemed(BG) by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(BH) 27 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness(BI) of this people, their wickedness and their sin. 28 Otherwise, the country(BJ) from which you brought us will say, ‘Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land he had promised them, and because he hated them,(BK) he brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.’(BL) 29 But they are your people,(BM) your inheritance(BN) that you brought out by your great power and your outstretched arm.(BO)

Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.

Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee.

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord.

Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you.

When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

10 And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

12 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

13 Furthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.

17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18 And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also.

20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath.

23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

24 Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.

25 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you.

26 I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
