Exodus 32
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ λαὸς ὅτι κεχρόνικεν Μωυσῆς καταβῆναι ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους, συνέστη ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Ἀνάστηθι καὶ ποίησον ἡμῖν θεοὺς οἳ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν· ὁ γὰρ Μωσῆς οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὅς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί γέγονεν αὐτῷ.
Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him (note: Cited in Acts 7:40)!”
καὶ αὐτοῖς Ἀαρών Περιέλεσθε τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ χρυσᾶ τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ὑμῶν καὶ θυγατέρων, καὶ ἐνέγκατε πρὸς μέ.
So Aaron told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
καὶ περιείλαντο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ χρυσᾶ τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Ἀαρών.
Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
καὶ ἐδέξατο ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔπλασεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῇ γραφίδι, καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὰ μόσχον χωνευτὸν καὶ εἶπεν οὗτοι οἱ θεοί σου, Ἰσραήλ, οἵτινες ἀνεβίβασάν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
καὶ ἰδὼν Ἀαρὼν ᾠκοδόμησεν θυσιαστήριον κατέναντι αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκήρυξεν Ἀαρὼν λέγων Ἑορτὴ τοῦ κυρίου αὔριον.
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
καὶ ὀρθρίσας τῇ ἐπαύριον ἀνεβίβασεν ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ προσήνεγκεν θυσίαν σωτηρίου· καὶ ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς Φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν.
So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry (note: Or to play; cited in 1 Corinthians 10:7).
ἐκάλησεν ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων βάδιζε τὸ τάχος ἐντεῦθεν, κατάβηθι· ἠνόμησεν γὰρ ὁ λαός σου ὃν ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
παρέβησαν ταχὺ ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἧς ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς· ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς μόσχον, καὶ προσκεκυνήκασιν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπαν
How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
Οὗτοι οἱ θεοί σου, Ἰσραήλ, οἵτινες ἀνεβίβασάν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
καὶ νῦν ἔασόν με καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὀργῇ εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐκτρίψω αὐτούς. καὶ ποιήσω σε εἰς ἔθνος μέγα.
Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
καὶ ἐδεήθη Μωυσῆς ἔναντι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Ἵνα τί, Κύριε, θυμοῖ ὀργᾖ εἰς τὸν λαόν σου, οὑς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύι μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν τῷ βραχίονι σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ;
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
μή ποτε εἴπωσιν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι λέγοντες Μετὰ πονηρίας ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἀποκτεῖναι ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν καὶ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. παῦσαι τῆς ὀργῆς τοῦ θυμοῦ σου, καὶ ἵλεως γενοῦ ἔπι τἠ̣ κακίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ σου,
Why should the Egyptians declare, ‘He brought them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce anger and relent from doing harm to Your people.
μνησθεὶς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ τῶν σῶν οἰκετῶν, οἷς ὤμοσας κατὰ σεαυτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησας πρὸς αὐτούς λέγων Πολυπληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα ὑμῶν ὡσεὶ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἢν εἶπας δοῦναι αὐτοῖς, καὶ καθέξουσιν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”
καὶ ἱλάσθη Κύριος περιποιῆσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
So the LORD relented from the calamity He had threatened to bring on His people.
Καὶ ἀποστρέψας Μωυσῆς κατέβη ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους· καὶ αἱ δύο πλάκες τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ, πλάκες λίθιναι, καταγεγραμμέναι ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν μερῶν αὐτῶν, ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἦσαν γεγραμμέναι·
Then Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
καὶ αἱ πλάκες ἔργον θεοῦ ἦσαν, καὶ ἡ γραφὴ γραφὴ θεοῦ κε κεκολαμμένη ἐν ταῖς πλαξίν.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
καὶ ἀκούσας Ἰησοῦς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ λαοῦ κραζόντων λέγει πρὸς Μωυσῆν Φωνὴ πολέμου ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.
When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “The sound of war is in the camp.”
καὶ λέγει Οὐκ ἔστιν φωνὴ ἐξαρχόντων κατ' ἰσχὺν οὐδὲ φωνὴ ἐξαρχόντων τροπῆς· ἀλλὰ φωνὴν ἐξαρχόντωνοἴνου ἐγὼ ἀκουςω.
But Moses replied: “It is neither the cry of victory nor the cry of defeat; I hear the sound of singing!”
καὶ ἡνίκα ἤγγιζεν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, ὁρᾷ τὸν μόσχον καὶ τοὺς χοροὺς· καὶ ὀργισθεὶς θυμῷ Μωυσῆς ἔρριψεν ἀπὸ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ τὰς δυο πλάκας, καὶ συνέτρεψεν αὐτὰς ὑπὸ τὸ ὄρος·
As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
καὶ λαβὼν τὸν μόσχον ὃν ἐποίησαν κατέκαυσεν αὐτὸν ἐν πυρί, καὶ κατήλεσεν αὐτὸν λεπτόν, καὶ ἔσπειρεν αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τὸ ὔδωρ, καὶ ἐποτισεν αὐτὸ τοὺς νἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
Then he took the calf they had made, burned it in the fire, ground it to powder, and scattered the powder over the face of the water. Then he forced the Israelites to drink it.
καὶ εἰπεν Μεωυσῆς τῷ Ἀαρών Τί ἐποίησέν σοι ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ὅτι ἐπήγαγες ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην;
“What did this people do to you,” Moses asked Aaron, “that you have led them into so great a sin?”
καὶ εἶπεν Ἀαρὼν πρὸς Μωυσῆν Μὴ ὀργίζου, κύριε· σὺ γὰρ οἶδας τὸ ὅρμημα τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου.
“Do not be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.
λέγουσιν γάρ γοι Ποίησον ἡμῖν θεοὺς οἵ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν· ὁ γὰρ Μωυσῆς οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί γέγονεν αὐτῷ.
They told me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!’
καὶ εἶπα αὐτοῖς Εἴ τινι ὑπάρχει χρυσία, περιέλεσθε. καὶ ἔδωκάν μοι· καὶ ἔρριψα εἰς τὸ πῦρ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ μόσχος οὗτος.
So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off,’ and they gave it to me. And when I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”
καὶ ἰδὼν Μωυσῆς τὸν λαὸν ὅτι διεσκέδασται, διεσκέδασεν γὰρ αὐτοῦς Ἀαρών, ἐπίχαρμα τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις αὐτοῶν·
Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them run wild and become a laughingstock (note: Or and become an object of derision) to their enemies.
ἔστη δὲ Μωυσῆς ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ εἶπεν Τίς πρὸς Κύριον; ἴτω πρὸς μέ. συνῆλθον οὖν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Λευεί.
So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ Θέσθε ἔκαστος τῆν ἑαυτοῦ ῥομφαίαν ἐπὶ τὸν μηρόν, καὶ διέλθατε καὶ ἀνακάμψατε ἀπο πύλης ἐπὶ πύλην διὰ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ ἀποκτείνατε ἔκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκαστος τὸν ἔγγιστα αὐτοῦ.
He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and slay his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”
καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Λευεὶ καθὰ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοὶς μωυσῆς· καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ εἰς τρισχιλίους ἄνδρας.
The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people fell dead.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς Ἐπληρώσατε τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν σήμερον Κυρίῳ, ἔκαστος ἐν τῷ υἱῷ ἢ τῷ ἀδελφῷ, δοθῆναι ἐφ' ὑμᾶς εὐλογίαν.
Afterward, Moses said, “Today you have been ordained (note: Or have ordained yourselves) for service to the LORD, since each man went against his son and his brother; so the LORD has bestowed a blessing on you this day.”
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν αὔριον εἶπεν Μωσῆς πρὸς τὸν λαόν Ὑμεῖς ἡμαρτήκατε ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην· καὶ νῦν ἀναβήσομαι πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἵνα ἐξιλάσωμαι περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν.
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
ὑπέστρεψεν δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον καὶ εἶπεν Δέομαι, κύριε· ἡμάρτηκεν ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς θεοὺς Χρυσοῦς·
So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves.
καὶ νῦν εἰ μὲν ἀΦεὶς αὐτοῖς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν, ἄφες· εἰ δὲ μή, ἐξάλειψόυ με ἐκ τῆς βίβλου σου ἧς ἔγραψας.
Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν Εἴ τις ἡμάρτηκεν, ἐξαλείψω αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς βίβλου μου.
The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.
σὺ δὲ βάδιζε κατάβηθι, καὶ ὁδήγησον τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπά σοι· ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄγγελός μου προπορεύεται πρὸ προσώπου σου· ᾗ δ’ ἄν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπισκέπτωμαι, ἐπάξω ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν.
Now go, lead the people to the place I described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”
καὶ ἐπάταξεν Κύριος τὸν λαὸν περὶ τῆς ποιήσεως τοῦ μόσχου οὗ ἐποίησεν Ααρών.
And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
