1 Samuel 6
1 Angraeng ih thingkhong loe Philistin prae thungah khrah sarihto oh.
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 To naah Philistinnawk loe qaimanawk hoi hmabang angzo han koi hmuen khen kop kaminawk to kawk o moe, Angraeng ih thingkhong to kawbangmaw ka sak o han? Angmah ohhaih ahmuen ah maw ka thak o let han, na thui oh, tiah a naa o.
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
3 Nihcae mah, Israael kaminawk ih Sithaw thingkhong na thak o let nahaeloe, bangkrai ah thak o hmah; zae angbawnhaih sak hanah hmuen paekhaih hoiah thak oh; to tiah ni ngan na tui o thai ueloe, tipongah maw anih ih ban nangcae khae hoi azuk ai, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah a naa o.
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4 Philistinnawk mah, Kawbaktih zae angbawnhaih hmuen paekhaih maw ka pat pae o han? tiah a naa o. Nihcae mah, Philistin ukkung angraeng zetto, sui hoi sak ih krang pangato, sui hoi sak ih pazu krang pangato paek oh; nangcae hoi nangcae ukkungnawk mah na tongh o ih nathaih loe maeto ah ni oh.
Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague [was] on you all, and on your lords.
5 Ahlut krang hoi na prae paro pazu krangnawk to sah oh loe, Israel Sithaw lensawkhaih to pakoeh oh; to tiah nahaeloe nangcae, na sithawnawk hoi na prae thung hoiah anih ih ban to azuk let khoe doeh om tih.
Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
6 Tipongah Izip kaminawk hoi Faro baktiah palung na thah o loe? Israel Angraeng mah nihcae to kana parai ah thuitaek naah, Egypt kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk a prae thung hoiah tacawt o sak moe, a caeh o sak talai na ai maw?
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
7 Vaihi maitaw leeng kangtha to sah oh loe, a caa tahnu paek li mawitaw amno hnetto to hoi o ah; a nuiah hmuen phawhhaih thing koeng o hmah; maitaw amno to maitaw leeng pongah pathlet oh loe, maitaw caa to loe im ah hoi o ving ah.
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
8 Angraeng ih thingkhong to la oh loe, maitaw leeng nuiah suem oh; zae angbawnhaih sak han paek ih hmuen baktih toengah, sui hoi sak ih ahlut krang hoi pazu krangnawk to Sithaw thingkhong taengah suem oh loe, thak oh.
And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
9 Angmah prae caehhaih Beth-Shemesh bangah Sithaw ih thingkhong to caeh nahaeloe, a tongh o ih hae baktih kasae loe Angraeng mah ni ohsak; toe to bangah ni caeh ai nahaeloe, anih ih ban hoiah aicae hae hum ai, hae raihaih loe a tongh o han ih aimacae taham raihaih ah ni om tih, tiah a naa o.
And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us; it [was] a chance [that] happened to us.
10 To pongah kaminawk mah to tiah sak o; a thuih o ih baktih toengah a caa tahnu panae li maitaw amno hnetto a lak o moe, maitaw leeng pongah pathlet o; a caa hnik loe im ah paung o caeng.
And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
11 Angraeng ih thingkhong to maitaw leeng nuiah suek o; a taeng ih thingkhong thungah loe sui hoiah sak ih pazu krang hoi ahlut krangnawk to suek o.
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
12 To naah maitaw hnik loe Beth-Shemesh vangpui bangah katoeng ah caeh hoi poe; banqoi bantang amkhraeng ai ah, lampui ah caeh o poe; Philistin ukkungnawk loe Beth-Shemesh vangpui khoek to bang o.
And the kine took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
13 To naah Beth-Shemeseh vangpui ih kaminawk loe, azawn ah cang aah o li vop; a khet o tahang naah, Sithaw thingkhong to hnuk o; a hnuk o ih hmuen pongah anghoe o.
And [they of] Beth-shemesh [were] reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see [it].
14 Maitaw leeng loe Beth-Shemesh vangpui kami, Joshua ih lawk ah angzoh moe, kalen parai lungsong taengah anghak; kaminawk mah maitaw leeng thingnawk to boeng o moe, maitaw to Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih ah sak o.
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
15 Levinawk mah Angraeng ih thingkhong to lak o, kalah thingkhong thungah kaom sui hoi sak ih hmuennawk doeh a lak o pacoengah, lungsong nuiah koeng o; to na niah Beth-Shemesh vangpui kaminawk mah, angbawnhaih to sak o moe, Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih hmuen to tathlang o.
And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were], and put [them] on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
16 Philistin ukkung pangatonawk mah to tiah angbawnhaih to hnuk o pacoeng, to na niah Ekron vangpui ah amlaem o let.
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], they returned to Ekron the same day.
17 Philistin kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah pat pae o let ih, zae angbawnhaih hmuen ah kaom, sui hoiah sak ih ahlut baktiah kacong kuk krangnawk to Ashdod vangpui ah maeto, Gaza vangpui ah maeto, Ashkelon vangpui ah maeto, Gath vangpui ah maeto, Ekron vangpui ah maeto, a pat pae o boih.
And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines returned [for] a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 Philistin kaminawk ih avang, ukkung angraeng pangatonawk ohhaih ahmuen, sipae hoi thungh ih vangpuinawk zetto ah sui hoi sak ih pazu krangnawk to pat pae o. Angraeng ih thingkhong suekhaih kalen parai Abel ih thlung loe, Beth-Shemesh vangpui kami, Joshua lawk ah vaihni ni khoek to hnukung ah oh.
And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords, [both] of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: [which stone remaineth] unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite.
19 Toe nihcae mah Angraeng ih thingkhong athung bang to khet o pongah, Sithaw mah Beth-Shemesh vangpui ih kami sing panga, quisarihto dueksak; Angraeng mah nihcae nuiah kana parai ah danpaek moe, kami paroeai hum pongah, kaminawk loe palungset o.
And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with a great slaughter.
20 To pongah Beth-Shemesh ih kaminawk mah, Hae ih ciimcai Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah mi maw angdoe thai tih? Hae thingkhong loe aicae khae hoi mi khaeah maw caeh tih? tiah a thuih o.
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 To naah Kiriath Jearim vangpui ih kaminawk khaeah laicaeh to patoeh o moe, Philistinnawk mah Angraeng ih thingkhong to thak o let; angzo o tathuk loe, na ohhaih ahmuen ah sin oh, tiah thuih pae o.
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you.
