1 Samuel 6
1 BAWIPA e thingkong teh Filistin ram dawk thapa yung sari touh ao hnukkhu,
The ark 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,
The Philistines called for the priests, and for the diviners, and for the magicians, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it to its 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 you are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But return to him a reparation, then you shall be healed and he will be reconciled to you. Will not, then, his hand be 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 they said, "What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?" They said, "Five golden tumors, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on you and 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.
Therefore you shall make images of your tumors, and images of the mice that ravage the land, and you 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 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.
Why then do you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked 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 take and prepare yourselves a new cart, and two milk cows, on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and take their calves from them back home;
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, and lay it on the cart; and put the figures of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; 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 watch; if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck 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.
The men did so, and took two milk cows, 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 put the ark on the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors.
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.
The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh; they went along the highway, mooing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the territory 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 those of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to meet 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 Bethshemite, and stopped there near a large rock. And they split the wood of the cart, and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to the LORD.
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.
The Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the chest that was with it, in which the articles of gold were, and put them on the large rock. And the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
16 Filistin bawi panga touh ni a khet awh hnukkhu hot hnin navah EKron kho lah a cei awh.
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.
These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon 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 fortified cities and of country villages. The large rock on which they set down the ark of the LORD is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
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.
But the sons of Jeconiah did not rejoice with the people of Beth Shemesh when they saw the ark of the LORD. So he struck seventy men of them, and the people mourned, because the LORD had struck 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 thing? And to whom should 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.
They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down, and bring it up to yourselves."
