1 Samuel 6
1 BAWIPA e thingkong teh Filistin ram dawk thapa yung sari touh ao hnukkhu,
And the ark of Yhwh was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 Filistinnaw ni vaihmanaw, profetnaw a kaw awh teh, BAWIPA e thingkong bangtelamaw ti han toung. Ama e hmuen koe bangtelamaw bout patoun han dei awh haw telah atipouh navah,
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of Yhwh? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
3 Ahnimouh ni Isarelnaw e Cathut thingkong hah bout na patawn awh pawiteh thingkong a madueng lahoi bout patawn awh hanh. Yon thuengnae hno hoi na patawn awh han. Hottelah pawiteh patawnae dam sak lah o han. Bangkong a kut na tahruet pouh hoeh tie na panue awh han atipouh.
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 Bang patet e kâtapoe thuengnae hno poe hane teh bangmaw. Ahnimouh ni Filistin bawi touk e yit touh, suimarang 5, suimoihnam 5, na patawn awh han. Nangmouh hoi nangmae siangpahrangnaw teh patawnae phun touh dueng lah ao dawkvah.
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 Marang mei kaphawk, nangmae ram ka raphoe moihnam meikaphawk na sak awh teh Isarelnaw e Cathut bawilennae hah na poe awh han. A kut teh nangmae ram hoi nangmae Cathut naw lathueng thoseh, nangmouh lathueng thoseh nangmae talai thoe seh, a pâhaw sak han.
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 Faro Siangpahrang hoi Izip miphunnaw lungpatanae e patetlah nangmae lungthin na pata sak a van. Ahnimae lathueng ka pataw poung lah lawk a ceng navah. Isarel miphunnaw ahnimouh ni a hlout sak awh teh, Isarel miphunnaw a tâco awh nahoehmaw.
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 Atuvah leng katha e buet touh sak awh nateh, leng lahuen dawk bang hoeh rae a ca ka cun e maito a manu kahni ta hah leng dawk kawm awh nateh takha thung pen awh.
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 BAWIPA e thingkong hah lat awh nateh, leng dawkvah toung awh. Kâtapoe thuengnae hno hanelah na patawn e sui hnopainaw hah alouke thingkong thung e ateng vah hrueng awh nateh, tha awh nateh cet awh naseh.
And take the ark of Yhwh, 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 Thingkong teh amamae ram lah a ceinae lam Bethshemesh kho totouh, kâbang pawiteh hote Cathut ni hete runae kalenpounge hah maimouh dawk a pha sak toe. Hatei cet hoehpawiteh maimouh lathueng ka phat e kahawihoehe hno hah a ma ni a sak e nahoeh. Ama ngai pou ka phat e han doeh telah a ti.
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 Hottelah, taminaw ni a sak awh. Sanu ka pânet lahun e maito manu roi a ceikhai awh teh, leng dawk a kawm awh. A ca roi teh takha thung a pen pouh awh.
And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
11 BAWIPA thingkong hah leng van vah a thueng awh. Moihnam meikaphawk kaawm e thingkongnaw hai a thueng awh.
And they laid the ark of Yhwh upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
12 Maito roi teh Bethshemesh lam lah tuetue a cei teh, avoilah aranglah hai phen laipalah, lamthung pui dawk tuetue a parawng teh a cei. Filistin bawinaw ni Bethshemesh khori totouh a kâbang sin awh.
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 Bethshemesh khocanaw teh a yon dawk catunnaw a a awh teh, a khet awh navah, thingkong hah a hmu awh navah a lunghawi awh.
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 Leng teh Bethshemesh tami Joshua e law vah a kâen teh, kalenpounge lungsong aonae koe a kangdue. Hote leng thing hah a raboung awh teh maito manu roi hah BAWIPA koevah hmaisawi thuengnae lah a sak.
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 Yhwh.
15 Levihnaw ni Bawipa thingkong teh aphu kaawm poung e sui onae thingkong hoi a la awh teh, lungsong van vah a hruek awh. Bethchemesh ni hote hnin dawkvah hmaisawi thuengnae hoi thuengnae hah BAWIPA koevah a poe awh.
And the Levites took down the ark of Yhwh, 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 Yhwh.
16 Filistin bawi panga touh ni a khet awh hnukkhu hot hnin navah EKron kho lah a cei awh.
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
17 BAWIPA koe yonthueng nahanelah Filistinnaw ni a patawn e (Tumor meikaphawk, moihnam meikaphawk) naw hah Asdod kho han buet touh, Gaza kho hanelah buet touh, Askelon hanelah buet touh. Gaza kho hanelah buet touh Ekron kho hanelah buet touh.
And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto Yhwh; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 Suimoihnam meikaphawknaw teh, Filistin bawi panga touh ni a tawn e khote totouh, khopui khote abuemlah hoi e doeh. BAWIPA e thingkong a hrueknae lungsong teh, Bethshemesh kho e Joshua e laikawk dawk sahnin ditouh ao rah.
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 Yhwh: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth–shemite.
19 Bethshemesh khocanaw teh, BAWIPA e thingkong thung a khet awh dawkvah BAWIPa ni a rek teh tami 50000 touh hoi tami 70 touh a thei. BAWIPA ni taminaw moikapap a duesaknae hoi a reknae dawkvah ahnimouh a khuika awh.
And he smote the men of Beth–shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Yhwh, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because Yhwh had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
20 Bethshemesh khocanaw ni kathoungpounge BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah apimaw ka kangdout thai han va. Maimouh koehoi api koe maw a cei han telah a ti.
And the men of Beth–shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Yhwh God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Ahnimouh ni Kiriath Jearim khocanaw koevah patounenaw a patoun awh teh, Filistin taminaw ni BAWIPA e thingkong hah bout a patawn awh toe. Cet awh nateh namamouh koe cetkhai awh lawih telah atipouh.
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath–jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of Yhwh; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
