1 Samuel 6
1 Pathen thingkong lha sagi jen Philistine gam'a aga tham in ahi.
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 Philistine mihon thempuho le gaothem miho akoukhom uvin, hitin ana donguvin, “Pakai thingkong chung chang thuhi i-kalo diu hitam? Aumna ngaiya iti kasol diu ham? neisei peh’uvin,” atiuve.
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us how we shall send it to its place.
3 “Israel Pathen thingkong chu, nathah tengule thilpeh toh thah thauvin,” tin aseipeh un ahi. “Chonset thilto nato dingu chutileh natna chu kitang ding ahi, chuteng nadam uva, kitoldoh theilou natna chu Pathen khut ahi ti nahin hetdiu ahi,” atiuve.
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but by all means 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 Hichun amahon, “Itobang chonset thilto kabol diu ham?” tin ana dongun ahile, Amahon adonbut’un, “Hiche natna chun nangho le na vaipo nga ho nabonchau chunga achuh jeh chun, nanghon Sana tum nga le sana a kisem jucha nga, nagam sung u sunohphah dungjuijin sem’un.
Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden haemorrhoids, 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 Hijeh chun gamsung suse na uilut lim le na jucha lim’u chu nasemuva chule Israel Pathen chu loupina napeh dingu ahi. Chuti henlang hileh, nanghole na Pathen hou chule nagam uva konin akhut ahin jangkhaisah dom ding ahi.
Therefore ye shall make images of your haemorrhoids, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory to the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
6 Nalung-tahsah hih un chule doulung jong puhih un, Pharaoh le Egypt mite bangin lung puhih un. Pathen in thilkidang abolho jeh a hung potdoh ahibou-uve.
Why 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 Tun bongkang thah sem uvin lang bongpi namkolyon pokhalou lai hel anou noichep lai cheh ni gakaiyun chule bongpi teni chu bongkang thah chu kai sah’un, anou teni vang chu akom lhona konin inlam ah hin nung kai tauvin,” ati.
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milk cows, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
8 “Pakai thingkong chu bongkang chunga chun tungdoh unlang akoma chun chonset thilpeh dinga thilto sana tum, sana a kisem jucha lim le uilut lima kisem jong chu nasem thadiu, chutengle bongpi teni chu soldoh unlang achena nom nom’ah che tauhen.
And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return to him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
9 Igamsung’u akhokal Beth-shemesh lang ajot a ahile genthei na teho hin Pathen khut a kon ahi ti hiche a kona chu hetthei ahi, amavang ache lou tah’a ahivangle, igamnao chu ama khut ahipoi ti kihetdoh na ahi,” atiuve.
And see, if it goeth up by the way of its own land to Bethshemesh, 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 Chuti chun aki seipeh nao bang bang chun abol tauvin ahi, bongpi noitwi neilai ni kaisah ding in agongun bongnou teni vang chu ajaosah pouve.
And the men did so; and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
11 Chuti chun Pakai thingkong chule chonset thilto sana jucha lim le uilut lim sana tum jong chu bongkang chunga chun akoi tauvin ahi.
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their haemorrhoids.
12 Chuin bongpi teni chu jangkeiyin Beth-shemesh geiyin achelhung keilhon in ahi. Philistine mipite lamkaihon Beth-shemesh gamgi chen geiyin ahinjui lhung peh un ahi.
And the cows took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, 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 to the border of Bethshemesh.
13 Chule Beth-shemesh mihon phaichama chu suhlou chang ana at laitah u ahin, akhodah uva ahile Pakai thingkong ahung lhun amuphat’un, hapan akipah lheh jeng tauve.
And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14 Bongkang chu Joshua kitipa loulaiya songpi koma ahung kingan chuin mipite hon bongkang thing meiya tiding in avo lhauvin, bongpi teni chu athat’un Pakaiya govamna maicham asem un ahi.
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they cut up the wood of the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.
15 Levi phungmi phabep khat in Pakai thingkong chule akoma thingkong, sana jucha limle sanatum uilut lim jong chu alalhauvin songpi chunga chun akoijun ahi. Hiche govamna maicham ho chu Pakaiya ding in asem’un ahi.
And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the box that was with it, in which were the jewels of gold, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
16 Philistine lamkailen mi nga in thil kibol ho jouse chu amusoh kei uvin chule hicheni mama chun Ekron ah akile kit tauve.
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
17 Chule Philistine miten Pakai henga chonset thilto dinga ahin nungsol’u sana uilut lim, sana tum nga ho chu: Ashdod akon khat, Gath akon khat, Gaza akon khat, Ashkelon akon khat chule Ekron akona khat cheh ahi.
And these are the golden haemorrhoids which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 Chule sana jucha limho chun Philistine khopi ngaho, chule akimvella khoneoho, gamvaipo nga gamvaipoh na noiya umho vetsahna a ahin thot u ahi. Beth-shemesh khoa Joshua loulaiya songpi lentah khat’a bongkang chu asolhah nau chu tujeng injong imatih chan geiya hettohsah na dingin aumjing nalaiye.
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities, and of country villages, even to the great stone of Abel, on which they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth to this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
19 Ahinlah Beth-shemesh a kon mihon thingkong sung avet jeh un mi som sagi Pakaiyin athat tai. Hitichun Pakai natoh kidang chun mipite nasatah’in alunghem lheh jeng tauvin ahi.
And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and seventy men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
20 “Hiche Pathen theng masanga hi koiham adingjou ding’ah?” tin mipin asam’un “Thingkong chi hoiya itoldod diu hitam?” tin akidong tauve.
And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Hijeh chun thupodin Kiriath-jearim mipite henga mi asollun, “Philistine miten Pakai thingkong chu ahung thahlut tauve, hungun lang, hung kilah’un,” tin thu apohsah tauvin ahi.
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and bring it up to you.
