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.

¹In ko je videlo ljudstvo, da se Mojzes obotavlja priti z gore, se zbere množica k Aronu in ga ogovori: Vstani, naredi nam bogove, ki naj gredo pred nami; zakaj tistemu možu Mojzesu, ki nas je odpeljal iz dežele Egiptovske, ne vemo, kaj se mu je prigodilo.

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.

²In Aron jim veli: Izderite zlate obodce, ki so v ušesih žen vaših, sinov in hčer vaših, in jih prinesite k meni.

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

³In odtrga vse ljudstvo obodce zlate, ki so jih imeli v ušesih, in jih prinesejo k Aronu.

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.

⁴On pa jih vzame iz njih rok in jih upodobi z dolbilom in napravi iz njih zlito tele. In reko: To je bog tvoj, o Izrael, ki te je pripeljal gori iz dežele Egiptovske.

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.

⁵In ko Aron to vidi, sezida oltar pred njim in razglasi, rekoč: Jutri bodi praznik GOSPODU!

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.

⁶In zjutraj vstanejo zgodaj, in darovali so žgalne in prinesli mirovne daritve; in ljudstvo je sedlo jest in pit in vstalo igrat.

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:

⁷Tedaj veli GOSPOD Mojzesu: Pojdi, stopi doli! Zakaj tvoje ljudstvo, ki si ga pripeljal iz dežele Egiptovske, se je skazilo.

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.

⁸Hitro so zašli s pota, ki sem ga jim zaukazal: naredili so si ulito tele in se poklanjali pred njim in mu darovali, govoreč: To je bog [Ali: bogovi.] tvoj, o Izrael, ki te je pripeljal iz dežele Egiptovske.

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

⁹In reče GOSPOD Mojzesu: Videl sem to ljudstvo, in glej, trdovratno ljudstvo je;

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.

¹⁰sedaj torej me pusti, da se vname srd moj zoper nje in jih pokončam; tebe pa storim v velik narod.

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?

¹¹Mojzes pa milo prosi GOSPODA, Boga svojega, govoreč: Zakaj, o GOSPOD, se vnema srd tvoj zoper ljudstvo tvoje, ki si ga peljal iz dežele Egiptovske z veliko močjo in z roko mogočno?

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.

¹²Zakaj naj bi govorili Egipčani: Za nesrečo jih je izpeljal, da jih pomori v gorah in zatre s površja zemlje? Obrni se od togote srda svojega in žal ti bodi hudega zoper ljudstvo svoje.

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.

¹³Spomni se Abrahama, Izaka in Izraela, hlapcev svojih, ki si jim prisegel pri sebi in jim rekel: Pomnožim seme vaše kakor zvezde na nebu in vso to deželo, ki sem o njej govoril, dam zarodu vašemu, da jim je v dedno last vekomaj.

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

¹⁴In žal je bilo GOSPODU hudega, o katerem je bil govoril, da stori svojemu ljudstvu.

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.

¹⁵In Mojzes se obrne in stopa doli z gore, držeč dve plošči pričevanja v roki svoji, plošči popisani na obeh straneh: na tej in na oni strani je bilo pisano.

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

¹⁶In plošči sta bili delo Božje, in pisava je bila pisava Božja, vdolbena v plošči.

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.

¹⁷In Jozue, ko je začul krik ljudstva, ki je ukalo, reče Mojzesu: Bojno vpitje je v taboru.

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.

¹⁸On pa reče: To ni glas takih, ki ukajo zaradi zmage, ne glas takih, ki vpijejo v poboju; glas pevajočih slišim jaz.

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.

¹⁹In zgodi se, ko se približa taboru in zagleda tele in ples, da se razsrdi in vrže plošči iz roke in ju razbije pod goro.

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.

²⁰In vzame tele, ki so ga bili naredili, in ga sežge v ognju in ga zdrobi v prah in iztrese v vodo in jo da piti sinovom Izraelovim.

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

²¹In Mojzes reče Aronu: Kaj ti je storilo to ljudstvo, da si nadnje pripravil velik greh?

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

²²Aron pa reče: Ne razvnema naj se jeza gospoda mojega! Saj poznaš ljudstvo, da je hudobno.

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.

²³Rekli so mi namreč: Naredi nam bogove, ki naj gredo pred nami, zakaj tistemu možu Mojzesu, ki nas je pripeljal iz dežele Egiptovske, ne vemo, kaj se mu je prigodilo.

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.

²⁴Jaz pa sem rekel: Kdo ima zlata? odtrgali so si ga in mi dali, in vrgel sem ga v ogenj, in izšlo je to tele.

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

²⁵In Mojzes je videl ljudstvo, da je razuzdano, kajti Aron ga je spravil v razuzdanost, v škodoželjen zasmeh pri sovražnikih njegovih.

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.

²⁶Tedaj se postavi Mojzes med vrati v tabor in kliče: Sem k meni, kdor je GOSPODU na strani! In zbero se k njemu vsi sinovi Levijevi.

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.

²⁷In jim veli: Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov: Pripašite vsak meč svoj in pojdite semtertja, od vrat do vrat v taboru, in ubijte vsak brata svojega in vsak prijatelja svojega in vsak soseda svojega.

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

²⁸In storili so sinovi Levijevi po besedi Mojzesovi; in padlo jih je tisti dan izmed ljudstva blizu tri tisoč mož.

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.

²⁹In Mojzes reče: Posvetite se danes GOSPODU, da, vsak proti sinu svojemu in proti bratu svojemu, da pripravite danes blagoslov nad sebe.

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.

³⁰In zgodi se drugega dne, da reče Mojzes ljudstvu: Pregrešili ste se z velikim grehom; in sedaj hočem iti gori h GOSPODU, morda dosežem pomirjenje za greh vaš.

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

³¹Vrne se torej Mojzes h GOSPODU in reče: Ah, pregrešilo se je to ljudstvo z velikim grehom, ko si je naredilo boga iz zlata.

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

³²In sedaj, o da bi odpustil njih greh! če pa ne, izbriši me, prosim, iz knjige svoje, ki si jo pisal!

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

³³In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Kdorkoli je grešil zoper mene, njega izbrišem iz knjige svoje.

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.

³⁴In sedaj pojdi, vodi ljudstvo tja, kamor sem ti povedal. Glej, angel moj pojde pred teboj; ali v dan obiskovanja svojega bom na njih kaznoval njih greh.In GOSPOD je udaril ljudstvo, zato ker so naredili tele, ki ga je napravil Aron.

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

³⁵In GOSPOD je udaril ljudstvo, zato ker so naredili tele, ki ga je napravil Aron.
