¹And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of 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 wot not what is become of him.

¹Eb li cristian queßxqßue retal nak laj Moisés quibay chak chi sukßîc saß li tzûl. Queßxchßutub rib chiru laj Aarón ut queßxye re: —Tâyîb kadios re teßcßamok be chiku. Incßaß nakanau cßaßru xcßul chak laj Moisés, li qui-isin chak ke saß li tenamit Egipto, chanqueb.

²And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

²Ut laj Aarón quixye reheb: —Isihomakeb lix caßxic oro lê rixakil, lê ralal joß eb ajcuiß lê rabin ut cßamomak chak cue arin, chan.

³And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

³Ut chixjunileb li cristian queßrisiheb lix caßxic oro ut queßxcßam riqßuin laj Aarón.

⁴And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

⁴Laj Aarón quilajxcßul li oro li joß qßuial queßxcßam riqßuin. Quixhaßobresi li oro ut quixyîb jun chßina cuacax chiru. Riqßuin chßîchß quixtîcobresi ru. Eb li cristian queßxye: —Aßin li kadios, lâo aj Israel. Aßan li qui-isin chak ke saß li tenamit Egipto, chanqueb.

⁵And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.

⁵Nak quirabi aßin, laj Aarón quixyîb jun li artal chiru li cuacax oro ut quixye: —Cuulaj toninkßeîk saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß Dios, chan.

⁶And 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.

⁶Joß cuulajak chic queßcuulac ekßela ut queßmayejac ut queßxqßue ajcuiß lix cßatbil mayej. Ut eb li tenamit queßcuaßac ut queßucßac ut quilajeßxbânu li moco uxc ta naraj.

⁷And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

⁷Ut li Dios quixye re laj Moisés: —Ayu, cuben. Tatxic riqßuineb li cristian. Cßajoß xyibal ru yôqueb lâ tenamit li xacuisiheb chak saß li tenamit Egipto.

⁸They 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 thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

⁸Saß junpât queßxkßet li cuâtin. Ut queßxyîb jun cuacax oro chokß xdioseb. Yôqueb chi mayejac chiru ut yôqueb chixlokßoninquil. Yôqueb chixyebal, “Li cuacax aßin, aßan li kadios, lâo aj Israel. Li dios aßin, aßan li qui-isin chak ke saß li tenamit Egipto”, chanqueb.

⁹And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

⁹Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye ajcuiß re laj Moisés: —Lâin xinqßue retal nak li cristian aßin kßaxal cauheb xchßôl. Incßaß nequeßabin chicuu.

¹⁰Now 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.

¹⁰Canabin chixbânunquil li tincuaj. Xchal injoskßil xbaneb. Tinsach ruheb chi jun aj cua. Ut lâat, at Moisés, eb chic lâ cualal âcßajol teßqßuiânk ut teßtâmk. Ut eb aßan chic li sicßbilakeb ru inban, chan li Dios.

¹¹And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

¹¹Laj Moisés quixtzßâma chiru li Kâcuaß Dios ut quixye re: —At Kâcuaß Dios, ¿cßaßut nak mas xchal lâ joskßil saß xbêneb lâ tenamit? Riqßuin lix nimal âcuanquilal xacuisiheb chak saß li tenamit Egipto.

¹²Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, 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.

¹²¿Cßaßut nak tâqßue âcuib chi hobecß xbaneb laj Egipto? Eb aßan teßxye, “¿Cßaßut nak li Dios xrisiheb arin ut xcßameb saß li chaki chßochß yal re tixcamsiheb saß li tzûl? Quixsacheb chi junaj cua”, chaßkeb. Mâqßue âjoskßil. Jal lâ cßaßux. Mâsach ruheb lâ tenamit.

¹³Remember 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.

¹³Julticak âcue laj Abraham ut laj Isaac ut laj Jacob. Eb aßan aj cßanjeleb châcuu ut lâat xayechißi chi anchal âchßôl reheb. Xaye reheb nak tâqßue chi qßuiânc ut chi nabalocß li ralal xcßajoleb joß xqßuialeb li chahim saß choxa. Ut xayechißi jun châbil naßajej reheb aßan chi junelic ut reheb ajcuiß li ralal xcßajol, chan laj Moisés.

¹⁴And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

¹⁴Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixjal xcßaßux ut incßaß quixsacheb lix tenamit.

¹⁵And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

¹⁵Laj Moisés quicube chak saß li tzûl. Quixcßam saß rukß li cuib chi perpôquil pec li tzßîbanbil cuiß li lajêb chi chakßrab. Tzßîbanbil li chakßrab chiru li perpôquil pec saß xcaß pacßalil.

¹⁶And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

¹⁶Eb li perpôquil pec aßin xbânuhom li Dios. Li âtin tzßîbanbil chiru li perpôquil pec, aß li Dios quitzßîban re.

¹⁷And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

¹⁷Laj Josué quirabi li chokînc nak eb li tenamit yôqueb chixjapbaleb re. Quixye re laj Moisés: —¿Cßaßru yôqueb li tenamit? Cßajoß nak yôqueb chi chokînc. Chanchan pletic yôqueb, chan.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Laj Moisés quixye re: —Incßaß. Li chokînc nacuabi lâin mâcuaß xyâb pletic. Lâin nacuabi nak bichânc yôqueb, chan.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹Laj Moisés quijiloc chi xcßatk lix muhebâleb. Quiril li cuacax oro ut quiril nak yôqueb chi xajoc chiru. Cßajoß nak quichal xjoskßil. Ut xban xjoskßil quixcut chi chßochß li cuib chi perpôquil pec li cuan saß rukß ut aran queßjoreß saß xtôn li tzûl.

²⁰And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

²⁰Laj Moisés quixchap li cuacax oro li queßxyîb ut quixcßat saß xam. Chirix aßan quixqueß ut quixqßue lix poksil saß li haß ut saß puêrs quixqßue chi ruqßueb.

²¹And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

²¹Ut laj Moisés quixye re laj Aarón: —¿Cßaßru xeßxbânu âcue nak xaqßueheb chi mâcobc li tenamit aßin?—

²²And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

²²Laj Aarón quixye: —Kâcuaß Moisés, matjoskßoß cuiqßuin. Lâat ac nacanau chanruheb li tenamit aßin. Nacanau nak teßraj xbânunquil li incßaß us.

²³For 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 wot not what is become of him.

²³Eb aßan queßxye cue, “Yîb kadios re tâcßamok be chiku. Incßaß nakanau cßaßru xcßul chak laj Moisés, li qui-isin chak ke saß li tenamit Egipto”, chanqueb.

²⁴And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

²⁴Lâin xinye reheb nak ani cuan oro riqßuin xcßamak chak, chanquin reheb. Ut eb aßan xeßxcßam chak ut lâin caßaj cuiß xincut li oro saß xam ut aran xyâloß li cuacax oro aßin, chan.

²⁵And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)

²⁵Laj Moisés quiril nak eb li cristian incßaß chic nequeßxcßoxla li Dios. Quiril nak cßajoß xyibal ru yôqueb chixbânunquil xban nak laj Aarón incßaß xqßue xnaßlebeb ut queßxcßut xxutâneb chiruheb li xicß queßiloc reheb.

²⁶Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

²⁶Tojoßnak laj Moisés quixakli saß li oquebâl bar cuan cuiß lix muhebâleb. Quixye reheb: —Li ani naxpâb li Kâcuaß Dios, châlkeb cuiqßuin, chan. Ut chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Leví queßxchßutub rib chiru laj Moisés.

²⁷And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.

²⁷Ut laj Moisés quixye reheb: —Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß Dios reheb laj Israel. “Chapomak lê chßîchß ut têsuti lix muhebâleb. Chixjunileb li incßaß niquineßxpâb têcamsi. Usta êras, usta êrîtzßin, usta êrechßalal, usta êrech cabal, tâcamsîk,” chan.

²⁸And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

²⁸Eb laj Leví queßxbânu li cßaßru quixye laj Moisés. Ut oxib mil chi cristian queßxcamsi saß li cutan aßan.

²⁹For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

²⁹Laj Moisés quixye reheb laj Leví: —Saß li cutan aßin xakabanbilex chi cßanjelac chiru li Kâcuaß Dios chokß aj tij. Li Dios texrosobtesi saß li cutan aßin xban nak xebânu li cßaßru quixye. Xecamsi li queßkßetoc re li râtin li Dios usta êras, usta êrîtzßin, usta lê ralal êcßajol, chan.

³⁰And 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 the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

³⁰Joß cuulajak chic laj Moisés quixye reheb li tenamit: —Lâex xexmâcob. Anakcuan tintakekß saß li tzûl bar cuan cuiß li Kâcuaß Dios. Tintzßâma chak êcuybal chiru li Dios ut mâre tâcuyekß êmâc, chan.

³¹And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

³¹Tojoßnak laj Moisés quisukßi cuißchic riqßuin li Dios ut quixye re: —Eb li tenamit aßin nimla mâc queßxbânu. Queßxyîb lix dioseb oro.

³²Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

³²Ut anakcuan tintzßâma châcuu, bânu usilal, chacuy lix mâqueb. Cui incßaß naru tâcuy lix mâqueb, bânu usilal tâcuisi lin cßabaß saß lâ hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß xcßabaßeb li tîqueb xchßôl, chan.

³³And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

³³Ut li Dios quixye re laj Moisés: —Incßaß. Li ani xeßmâcob chicuu, aßan li tincuisi xcßabaß saß lin hu.

³⁴Therefore 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.

³⁴Ayu. Cuben ut tatcßamok be chiruheb li tenamit. Texxic saß li naßajej xinye âcue. Ut lin ángel tâcßamok be châcuu.

³⁵And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

³⁵Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixtakla jun raylal saß xbêneb li tenamit xban nak queßxqßue chi yîbâc li cuacax oro xban laj Aarón.
