Êxodo 32

Te Kūao Kau Kōura

1 Ā, nō te kitenga o te iwi i roa te hekenga iho o Mohi i runga i te maunga, ka huihui te iwi ki a Ārona, ka mea ki a ia, "Whakatika, hangā ētahi atua mō tātou, hei haere i mua i a tātou; ko tēnei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nāna tātou i kawe mai ki runga nei i te whenua o Īhipa, kāhore tātou e mōhio kua ahatia rānei ia."

2 Nā, ka mea a Ārona ki a rātou, "Whakia mai ngā whakakai kōura i ngā taringa o ā koutou wāhine, o ā koutou tama, o ā koutou tamāhine, ka kawe mai ki ahau."

3 Nā, whakia ana e te iwi katoa ngā whakakai kōura i ō rātou taringa, ā, kawea ana mai ki a Ārona. 4 Nā, ka tangohia e ia i ō rātou ringa, ā, whakaahuatia ana e ia ki te purupuru tāna kūao kau i whakarewa ai. Nā, ka mea rātou, "Ko ōu atua ēnei, e Īharaira, nāna nei koe i kawe mai ki runga nei i te whenua o Īhipa!"

5 Ā, nō te kitenga o Ārona, hangā ana e ia tētahi āta ki mua i taua mea; ā, ka karanga a Ārona, ka mea, "Ko āpōpō, he hākari ki a Ihowā." 6 Nā, ka maranga wawe rātou i te aonga ake, ā, whakaekea ana he tahunga tinana, i kawea anō he whakahere mō te pai; nā, ka noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, ā, ka whakatika ki te tākaro.

7 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Haere, heke atu, kua hē hoki tōu iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Īhipa. 8 Kua hohoro rātou te peka kē i te huarahi i kīia e ahau ki a rātou; kua hangā mā rātou he kūao kau, he mea whakarewa, kua koropiko ki taua mea, kua patu whakahere māna, ā, e mea ana, ‘Ko ōu atua ēnei, e Īharaira, i kawea mai ai koe i te whenua o Īhipa.’ "

9 I mea anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Kua kite ahau i tēnei iwi, nā, he iwi kakī mārō rātou. 10 Nā, tukua atu ahau, ā, ka mura tōku riri ki a rātou, ā, ka pau rātou i ahau; ka hangā anō koe hei iwi nui."

11 Nā, ka īnoi a Mohi ki a Ihowā, ki tōna Atua, ka mea, "He aha tōu riri i mura ai, e Ihowā, ki tāu iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Īhipa i runga i te kaha nui, i te ringa mārō? 12 Ha, kia kōrero ngā Īhipiana, kia mea, ‘He whakaputanga atu ki te hē tāna i a rātou, kia whakamatea ai rātou ki ngā maunga, kia whakangaromia atu ai i te mata o te whenua’? Tahuri i tōu riri nui e mura nei, kia puta kē hoki tōu whakaaro ki tēnei kino mō tāu iwi. 13 Kia mahara ki āu pononga, ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Īharaira, ki tāu oatitanga hoki i a koe ki a rātou, ki tāu meatanga ki a rātou, ‘Ka whakanuia e ahau ō koutou uri kia rite ki ngā whetū o te rangi; ko tēnei whenua katoa hoki i kōrerotia atu nei e ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ki ō koutou uri, ā, ka nohoia e rātou ake ake.’ " 14 Nā, ka puta kē tā Ihowā i whakaaro ai mō te kino i kīia e ia kia meatia ki tāna iwi.

15 Nā, ka tahuri a Mohi, ka heke iho i te maunga, me ngā papa e rua o te whakaaturanga i tōna ringa; he mea tuhi ngā taha e rua o ngā papa; i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha te tuhi. 16 He mea mahi hoki nā te Atua aua papa, me te tuhituhi hoki, nā te Atua te tuhituhi, he mea whaowhao ki ngā papa.

17 Ā, ka rongo a Hohua i te reo o te iwi e hāmama ana, ka mea ki a Mohi, "He ngē whawhai kei te puni rā."

18 Nā, ka mea ia:

"Ehara tērā reo i te hāmama mō te hinganga o te taua,

ehara hoki tērā reo i te hāmama o te hunga e hinga ana;

he reo waiata tāku e rongo nei."

19 Ā, ka tata ia ki te puni, nā, ka kite ia i te kūao kau, i te kanikani. Nā, ka mura te riri o Mohi, ā, ka makā atu e ia ngā papa i roto i ōna ringa, ā, pākarua ana aua mea e ia i raro i te maunga. 20 Nā, ka tango ia i te kūao kau i hangā e rātou, ā, tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi, ā, hurihia ana, ā, ngotangota noa, ā, ruiruia ana e ia ki te wai, whakainumia atu ana mā ngā tama a Īharaira.

21 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a Ārona, "I aha tēnei iwi ki a koe, i tākina ai e koe tēnei hara nui ki a rātou?"

22 Ā, ka mea a Ārona, "Kei mura mai te riri o tōku ariki; e mōhio ana koe ki tēnei iwi, mō te kino tonu rātou. 23 I mea hoki rātou ki ahau, ‘Hangā ētahi atua mō tātou hei haere i mua i a tātou; ko tēnei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nāna nei tātou i kawe mai i te whenua o Īhipa, kāhore tātou e mōhio kua ahatia rānei ia.’ 24 Nā, ka mea ahau ki a rātou, ‘Ki te mea he kōura tō tētahi, whakia mai.’ Nā, ka hōmai e rātou ki ahau; ā, makā ana e ahau ki te ahi; ā, puta ake ko te kūao kau nei."

25 Ā, i te kitenga o Mohi i te iwi e korara noa ana, (nā Ārona hoki rātou i tuku kia korara, hei taunu mā ō rātou hoariri). 26 Nā, ka tū a Mohi ki te kūwaha o te puni, ka mea, "Ko wai tō Ihowā haere mai ki ahau?" Nā, ka huihui ngā tama katoa a Rīwai ki a ia.

27 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira, ‘Whakanohoia e tērā, e tērā tāna hoari ki tōna hūhā, ā, haere atu, hoki mai, i tētahi kūwaha ki tētahi kūwaha, i waenga puni, ā, patua e tērā tōna teina, e tērā tōna hoa, e tērā tōna hoa e noho tata ana.’ " 28 Nā, rite tonu ki te kupu a Mohi tā ngā tama a Rīwai i mea ai; ā, tata tonu ki te toru mano ngā tāngata i hinga i taua rangi. 29 Nā Mohi hoki i mea, "Hei runga i tāna tama, i tōna teina, te whakatohungatanga ki a Ihowā o tērā, o tērā, o koutou āianei; kia hōmai ai e ia he manaaki ki a koutou āianei."

30 Nā, i te aonga ake, ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, "Kua hara koutou, he nui te hara. Nā, me haere ahau āianei ki runga, ki a Ihowā; tērā pea e taea e ahau te whakamārie mō tō koutou hara."

31 Nā, ka hoki a Mohi ki a Ihowā, ka mea, "Auē! Kua hara tēnei iwi, he nui te hara, kua hangā hoki e rātou ētahi atua kōura mō rātou. 32 Nā, māu e horoi tō rātou hara; ā, ki te kāhore, tēnā rā, horoia atu ahau i roto i tāu pukapuka i tuhituhia e koe."

33 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Ko te tangata e hara ana ki ahau, ka horoia atu ia e ahau i roto i tāku pukapuka. 34 Nā, haere rā, ārahina atu te iwi ki te wāhi i kōrerotia atu e ahau ki a koe, tēnā tāku anahera te haere atu nā i mua i a koe. Ahakoa rā, ko ā te rā e mea ai ahau, inā, ka meinga e ahau tō rātou hara kia tau ki runga ki a rātou."

35 Nā, ka whiua e Ihowā te iwi mō tā rātou hanganga i te kūao kau, i hangā nei e Ārona.

1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah. 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 to drink, and rose up to play.

7 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9 And Jehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10 now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 11 And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil 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 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14 And Jehovah repented of the evil which he said he would do unto his people.

15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome; but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them? 22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil. 23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off: so they gave it me; and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

25 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,) 26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoso is on Jehovah’s side, let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. 27 And he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, 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 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 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to Jehovah, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto Jehovah; peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin. 31 And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 33 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 34 And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them. 35 And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
