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,

¹When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”

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.

²Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”

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

³All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.

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.

⁴He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”

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.

⁵When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh.”

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

⁶They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

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

⁷Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!

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.

⁸They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”

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

⁹Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

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

¹⁰Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”

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?

¹¹Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

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.

¹²Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, ‘He brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?’ Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.

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.

¹³Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’”

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

¹⁴Yahweh repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.

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.

¹⁵Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.

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

¹⁶The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.

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

¹⁷When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”

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

¹⁸He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”

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.

¹⁹It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.

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.

²⁰He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

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

²¹Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”

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

²²Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

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.

²³For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’

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.

²⁴I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:’ so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”

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,

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

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.

²⁶then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

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.

²⁷He said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”

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

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

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.

²⁹Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day.”

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.

³⁰It happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”

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.

³¹Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.

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.

³²Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”

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

³³Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

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.

³⁴Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

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

³⁵Yahweh struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
