¹And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people collected together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, -- we do not know what is become of him!

¹[Ny nanaovan'ny Zanak'Isiraely ombilahy kely volamena hiankohofany, sy ny fahatezeran'Andriamanitra noho izany] Ary rehefa hitan'ny olona fa efa ela ka tsy mbola nidina avy tao an-tendrombohitra ihany Mosesy, dia niangona ho eo amin'i Arona izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mitsangana, ka anaovy andriamanitra izahay, hitarika antsika eo aloha; fa ilay Mosesy iny, izay lehilahy nitondra antsika niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta, dia tsy fantatray izay nanjo azy,

²And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings that are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring [them] to me.

²Ary hoy Arona taminy: Romboty ary ny kavim-bolamena, izay eny amin'ny sofin'ny vadinareo sy ny zanakareo-lahy ary ny zanakareo-vavy, ka ento etỳ amiko.

³Then all the people broke off the golden rings that were in their ears, and brought [them] to Aaron.

³Ary ny olona rehetra dia nandrombotra ny kavim-bolamena izay teny amin'ny sofiny ka nitondra azy ho eo amin'i Arona.

⁴And he took [them] out of their hand, and fashioned it with a chisel and made of it a molten calf: and they said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!

⁴Ary izy nandray azy tamin'ny tanan'ny olona, dia namboatra azy tamin'ny fandraka ka nanao azy ho ombilahy kely anidina; dia niteny ny olona ka nanao hoe: Io no andriamanitrao, ry Isiraely, izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta.

⁵And Aaron saw [it], and built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, To-morrow is a feast to Jehovah!

⁵Ary raha hitan'i Arona izany, dia nanao alitara teo anoloany izy; ary dia niantso Arona ka nanao hoe: Andro firavoravoana ho an'i Jehovah rahampitso.

⁶And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered up burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport.

⁶Dia nifoha maraina koa ny olona ka nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy nitondra fanati-pihavanana; ary nipetraka hihinana sy hisotro ny olona, dia nitsangana hilalao.

⁷Then Jehovah said to Moses, Away, go down! for thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, is acting corruptly.

⁷Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Ma­ndehana midina ianao; fa efa nanao ratsy ny olonao izay nentinao niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta.

⁸They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them: they have made themselves a molten calf, and have bowed down to it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!

⁸Nalaky nivily niala tamin'ny lalàna izay nasaiko nalehany izy ka efa nanao ombilahy kely anidina ho azy; ary efa niankohoka teo anatrehany sy namono zavatra hatao fanatitra taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Io no andriamanitrao, ry Isiraely, izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta.

⁹And Jehovah said to Moses, I see this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

⁹Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Efa hitako io firenena io, fa, indro, firenena mafy hatoka izy.

¹⁰And now let me alone, that my anger may burn against them, and I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.

¹⁰Koa ankehitriny avelao hirehitra aminy ny fahatezerako, ka haringako izy; fa hahatonga anao ho firenena lehibe Aho.

¹¹And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Why, Jehovah, doth thy wrath burn against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?

¹¹Fa Mosesy nifona tamin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka nanao hoe: Jehovah ô, na­hoana ny fahatezeranao no mirehitra amin'ny olonao, izay nentinao nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta tamin'ny hery lehibe sy ny tanana mahery?

¹²Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For misfortune he has brought them out, to slay them on the mountains, and to annihilate them from the face of the earth? Turn from the heat of thine anger, and repent of this evil against thy people!

¹²Nahoana ny Egyptiana no avela hilaza hoe: Mba hahita loza no nitondrany ireny nivoaka, hamonoany azy eny an-tendrombohitra sy handringanany azy tsy ho ambonin'ny tany? Mialà amin'ny fahatezeranao mirehitra, ka manenena ny amin'ny loza izay hanjo ny olonao.

¹³Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thyself, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall possess [it] for ever!

¹³Tsaro­vy Abrahama sy Isaka ary Isiraely mpanomponao, izay nianiananao tamin'ny tenanao sy nilazanao hoe: Hahamaro ny taranakareo Aho ho tahaka ny kintana eny amin'ny lanitra; ary izany tany rehetra nolazaiko izany dia homeko ny taranakareo, ary izy handova izany mandrakizay.

¹⁴And Jehovah repented of the evil that he had said he would do to his people.

¹⁴Ary Jehovah dia nanenina ny amin'ny loza izay nokasainy hamelezana ny olony.

¹⁵And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, [with] the two tables of the testimony in his hand -- tables written on both their sides: on this side and on that were they written.

¹⁵Ary Mosesy nihodina ka nidina avy tao an-tendrombohitra, nitondra ny vato fisaka roa nisy ny Vavolombelona teny an-tànany; ny vato fisaka nosoratana teo amin'ny lafiny roa: dia teo anatrehany sy teo ambadika no nisy ny soratra.

¹⁶And the tables [were] God's work, and the writing was God's writing, engraven on the tables.

¹⁶Ary ny vato fisaka dia asan'Andriamanitra, ary ny soratra dia soratr'Andriamanitra, voasoratra teo amin'ny vato fisaka.

¹⁷And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, and said to Moses, There is a shout of war in the camp.

¹⁷Ary rehefa ren'i Josoa ny fitabataban'ny olona izay nihorakoraka, dia hoy izy tamin'i Mosesy: Misy tabataban'ady atsy an-toby.

¹⁸And he said, It is not the sound of a shout of victory, neither is it the sound of a shout of defeat: it is the noise of alternate singing I hear.

¹⁸Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsy feo fihobian'ny mahery na feo fitomanian'ny resy no reko, fa feon'ny mihira.

¹⁹And it came to pass, when he came near the camp, and saw the calf and the dancing, that Moses' anger burned, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and shattered them beneath the mountain.

¹⁹Ary raha nanakaiky ny toby izy, dia nahita ny ombilahy kely sy ny dihy; ary nirehitra ny fahatezeran'i Mosesy, dia natontany ny vato fisaka teny an-tànany ka novakivakiny teo am-bodin'ny tendrombohitra.

²⁰And he took the calf that they had made, and burned [it] with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed [it] on the water, and made the children of Israel drink [it].

²⁰Dia nalainy ilay ombilahy kely izay efa nataon'ny olona ka nodorany tamin'ny afo, ary notorotoroiny ho vovoka, dia nafafiny tambonin'ny rano ka nampisotroiny ny Zanak'Isiraely.

²¹And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin on them?

²¹Ary hoy Mosesy tamin'i Arona: Inona no nataon'ity firenena ity taminao, no nitondranao heloka lehibe taminy?

²²And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord burn! thou knowest the people, that they are [set] on mischief.

²²Fa hoy kosa Arona: Aoka tsy hirehitra ny fahatezeranao, tompoko, fa ianao mahalala ny toetry ny olona, fa mpanao ratsy izy;

²³And they said to me, Make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him!

²³ary hoy izy tamiko: Manaova andriamanitra ho antsika, hitarika antsika eo aloha; fa ilay Mosesy iny, izay lehilahy nitondra antsika niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta, dia tsy fantatray izay nanjo azy.

²⁴And I said to them, Who has gold? They broke [it] off, and gave [it] me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

²⁴Ary hoy izaho taminy: Na zovy na zovy manam-bolamena, aoka handrombotra izany izy, ka dia nomeny ahy; ary natsipiko tao anaty afo izany, ka io ombilahy kely io no nivoaka.

²⁵And Moses saw the people how they were stripped; for Aaron had stripped them to [their] shame before their adversaries.

²⁵Ary rehefa hitan'i Mosesy fa natondraka hanaram-po amin'izay tsy mety ny olona, satria efa natondrak'i Arona ho fanakorana eo amin'ny fahavalony izy,

²⁶And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, He that is for Jehovah, [let him come] to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered to him.

²⁶dia nijanona teo amin'ny vavahadin'ny toby Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Izay rehetra an'i Jehovah mankanesa etỳ amiko. Ary ny taranak'i Levy rehetra niangona teo aminy.

²⁷And he said to them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his hip; go and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbour.

²⁷Dia hoy izy taminy: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Samia manao ny sabany eo am-balahany avy ianareo, dia mandrosoa sy miverimberena amin'isam-bavahadin'ny toby, ary samia mamono ny rahalahiny avy sy ny sakaizany avy ary ny namany avy ianareo.

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

²⁸Dia nanao araka ny tenin'i Mosesy ny taranak'i Levy; ary nahafatesana tokony ho telo arivo lahy ny olona tamin'izany andro izany.

²⁹And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to Jehovah, yea, every man with his son, and with his brother, and bring on yourselves a blessing to-day.

²⁹Fa Mosesy efa nilaza hoe: Manokàna ny tenanareo ho an'i Jehovah ianareo anio; eny, samia mamono ny zanany sy ny rahalahiny avy, mba hahazoanareo fitahiana anio.

³⁰And it came to pass the next day, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Jehovah: perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.

³⁰[Ny nifonan'i Mosesy, sy ny navalin'Andriamanitra azy] Ary nony maraina dia hoy Mosesy tamin'ny olona: Efa nanao fahotana lehibe ianareo; ary ankehitriny, dia hiakatra ho amin'i Jehovah aho, fa angamba hahazo manao fanavotana ny amin'ny fahotanareo.

³¹And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Alas, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves a god of gold!

³¹Ary Mosesy dia niverina ho ao amin'i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Indrisy! efa nanao fahotana lehibe ity firenena ity ka efa nanao andriamani-bolamena ho azy.

³²And now, if thou wilt forgive their sin ... but if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book that thou hast written.

³²Ary ankehitriny, enga anie ka hamela ny fahotany Hianao! fa raha tsy izany, mifona aminao aho, vonoy eo amin'ny bokinao izay nosoratanao ny anarako.

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

³³Fa hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Na iza na iza nanota tamiko, dia hovonoiko ny anarany eo amin'ny bokiko.

³⁴And now go, lead the people whither I have told thee: behold, my Angel shall go before thee; but in the day of my visiting I will visit their sin upon them.

³⁴Mandehana ankehitriny, ka ento ny olona ho any amin'izay efa nolazaiko taminao; indro, ny Anjeliko no hitarika anao eo aloha; ary amin'izay andro hamaliako dia hamaly azy noho ny fahotany Aho.Ary Jehovah namely ny olona, satria nanao ny ombilahy kely izy, dia ilay nataon'i Arona.

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

³⁵Ary Jehovah namely ny olona, satria nanao ny ombilahy kely izy, dia ilay nataon'i Arona.
