¹And 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.

¹ولما رأى الشعب ان موسى ابطأ في النزول من الجبل اجتمع الشعب على هرون. وقالوا له قم اصنع لنا آلهة تسير امامنا. لان هذا موسى الرجل الذي اصعدنا من ارض مصر لا نعلم ماذا اصابه.

²And 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.

²فقال لهم هرون انزعوا اقراط الذهب التي في آذان نسائكم وبنيكم وبناتكم وأتوني بها.

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

³فنزع كل الشعب اقراط الذهب التي في آذانهم وأتوا بها الى هرون.

⁴And 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.

⁴فاخذ ذلك من ايديهم وصوّره بالازميل وصنعه عجلا مسبوكا. فقالوا هذه آلهتك يا اسرائيل التي اصعدتك من ارض مصر.

⁵And when Aaron saw [this], he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah.

⁵فلما نظر هرون بنى مذبحا امامه. ونادى هرون وقال غدا عيد للرب.

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.

⁶فبكروا في الغد واصعدوا محرقات وقدموا ذبائح سلامة. وجلس الشعب للاكل والشرب ثم قاموا للّعب

⁷And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

⁷فقال الرب لموسى اذهب انزل. لانه قد فسد شعبك الذي اصعدته من ارض مصر.

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 unto it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

⁸زاغوا سريعا عن الطريق الذي اوصيتهم به. صنعوا لهم عجلا مسبوكا وسجدوا له وذبحوا له وقالوا هذه آلهتك يا اسرائيل التي اصعدتك من ارض مصر.

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

⁹وقال الرب لموسى رأيت هذا الشعب واذا هو شعب صلب الرقبة.

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.

¹⁰فالآن اتركني ليحمى غضبي عليهم وافنيهم. فاصيّرك شعبا عظيما.

¹¹And 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?

¹¹فتضرع موسى امام الرب الهه. وقال لماذا يا رب يحمى غضبك على شعبك الذي اخرجته من ارض مصر بقوّة عظيمة ويد شديدة.

¹²Wherefore 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.

¹²لماذا يتكلم المصريون قائلين اخرجهم بخبث ليقتلهم في الجبال ويفنيهم عن وجه الارض. ارجع عن حمو غضبك واندم على الشر بشعبك.

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.

¹³اذكر ابراهيم واسحق واسرائيل عبيدك الذين حلفت لهم بنفسك وقلت لهم اكثر نسلكم كنجوم السماء واعطي نسلكم كل هذه الارض الذي تكلمت عنها فيملكونها الى الابد.

¹⁴And Jehovah repented of the evil which he said he would do unto his people.

¹⁴فندم الرب على الشر الذي قال انه يفعله بشعبه.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵فانصرف موسى ونزل من الجبل ولوحا الشهادة في يده. لوحان مكتوبان على جانبيهما. من هنا ومن هنا كانا مكتوبين.

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

¹⁶واللوحان هما صنعة الله والكتابة كتابة الله منقوشة على اللوحين.

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.

¹⁷وسمع يشوع صوت الشعب في هتافه. فقال لموسى صوت قتال في المحلّة.

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.

¹⁸فقال ليس صوت صياح النصرة ولا صوت صياح الكسرة. بل صوت غناء انا سامع.

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.

¹⁹وكان عندما اقترب الى المحلّة انه ابصر العجل والرقص. فحمي غضب موسى وطرح اللوحين من يديه وكسرهما في اسفل الجبل.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰ثم اخذ العجل الذي صنعوا واحرقه بالنار وطحنه حتى صار ناعما وذراه على وجه الماء وسقى بني اسرائيل

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

²¹وقال موسى لهرون ماذا صنع بك هذا الشعب حتى جلبت عليه خطية عظيمة.

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

²²فقال هرون لا يحم غضب سيدي. انت تعرف الشعب انه في شر.

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 know not what is become of him.

²³فقالوا لي اصنع لنا آلهة تسير امامنا. لان هذا موسى الرجل الذي اصعدنا من ارض مصر لا نعلم ماذا اصابه.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴فقلت لهم من له ذهب فلينزعه ويعطيني. فطرحته في النار فخرج هذا العجل.

²⁵And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,)

²⁵ولما رأى موسى الشعب انه معرّى. لان هرون قد عرّاه للهزء بين مقاوميه.

²⁶then 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.

²⁶وقف موسى في باب المحلّة. وقال من للرب فإليّ. فاجتمع اليه جميع بني لاوي.

²⁷And 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.

²⁷فقال لهم هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل ضعوا كل واحد سيفه على فخذه ومرّوا وارجعوا من باب الى باب في المحلّة واقتلوا كل واحد اخاه وكل واحد صاحبه وكل واحد قريبه.

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

²⁸ففعل بنو لاوي بحسب قول موسى. ووقع من الشعب في ذلك اليوم نحو ثلاثة آلاف رجل.

²⁹And 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.

²⁹وقال موسى املأوا ايديكم اليوم للرب حتى كل واحد بابنه وباخيه. فيعطيكم اليوم بركة.

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 Jehovah; peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin.

³⁰وكان في الغد ان موسى قال للشعب انتم قد اخطأتم خطية عظيمة. فاصعد الآن الى الرب لعلي اكفّر خطيتكم.

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

³¹فرجع موسى الى الرب. وقال آه قد اخطأ هذا الشعب خطية عظيمة وصنعوا لانفسهم آلهة من ذهب.

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

³²والآن ان غفرت خطيتهم. والا فامحني من كتابك الذي كتبت.

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

³³فقال الرب لموسى من اخطأ اليّ امحوه من كتابي.

³⁴And 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.

³⁴والآن اذهب اهد الشعب الى حيث كلمتك. هوذا ملاكي يسير امامك. ولكن في يوم افتقادي افتقد فيهم خطيتهم.

³⁵And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

³⁵فضرب الرب الشعب. لانهم صنعوا العجل الذي صنعه هرون
