1 Samuel 6
1 The LORD’s ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Tukun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan yurin mwet Philistia ke lusen malem itkosr,
2 The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the LORD’s ark? Show us how we should send it to its place.”
mwet uh pangoneni mwet tol lalos ac mwet inutnut lalos ac siyuk selos, “Mea kut ac oru ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD? Kut ac fin supwala nu in acn se na pwaye uh, mea enenu kut in sang in wela?”
3 They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”
Mwet inge topuk ac fahk, “Kowos ac fin supwala Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel, kowos enenu in oasr mwe lung in wi, ma in sang moli ma koluk lowos. Kowos tia ku in folokunla ac wangin mwe lung wi. Fin oasr mwe lung wi som, kowos ac fah kwela liki mas lowos an, ac kowos ac fah etu lah efu ku El akkeokye kowos na.”
4 Then they said, “What should the trespass offering be which we shall return to him?” They said, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, for the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
Na mwet uh siyuk, “Mwe lung fuka kut ac fah sang nu sel?” Ac elos topuk, “Ipin gold limekosr in oana luman mahlap, oayapa ipin gold limekosr in oana luman kisrik in pot, kais sie nu sin tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia, mweyen kain mwe lokoalok sefanna pa supweyuk nu fowos nukewa ac oayapa nu fin tokosra lowos.
5 Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.
Kowos enenu in oru ma sruloala ke mahlap, ac ma sruloala ke kisrik in pot su kunausla facl suwos an, ac kowos enenu in akfulatye God lun Israel. Sahp El ac fah tia sifil akkeokye kowos ku god lowos ac facl suwos an.
6 Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, did not they let the people go, and they departed?
Efu ku kowos in akupaye insiowos oana mwet Egypt ac tokosra we ah? Esam lah God El tuh akfohsyalos nwe ke na elos fuhlela tuh mwet Israel in ku in som liki acn we.
7 “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 bring their calves home from them;
Ke ma inge, kowos akoo soko wagon sasu ac lukwa cow mutan su soenna pula srenenu, ac kaprelosi nu ke wagon uh, a folokunla cow fusr natultal nu ke acn lun cow uh.
8 and take the LORD’s ark and lay it on the cart. Put the jewels of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
Eis Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac filiya fin wagon uh, ac filiya sie box srisrik sisken Tuptup sac, ac nwakla ke ma sruloala gold su kowos sang tuh in moli ma koluk lowos an. Na patokak wagon an ac lela in sifacna yuwot.
9 Behold, if it goes up by the way of its own border 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.”
Ac kowos in lohang nu ke wagon soko an lah ac fahsr nu oya. Fin fahsr nu layen nu Beth Shemesh, na kalem lah pwaye God lun Israel pa oru mwe keok inge nu sesr. A fin tia fahsr nu we, na kut etu lah tia El pa oru ma inge — ma na sifacna sikyak se.”
10 The men did so, and took two milk cows and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Mwet uh oru oana ma fwack nu selos. Elos eis cow lukwa, kapriya nu ke wagon, ac kaliya cow fusr natultal ke nien muta laltal.
11 They put the LORD’s ark on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors.
Ac elos filiya Tuptup in Wuleang nu fin wagon uh, wi box srisrik neinyen ma sruloala ke kisrik in pot gold ac ma sruloala ke mahlap gold.
12 The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh. They went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn away to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.
Ac cow lukwa fahsr suwoslana nu Beth Shemesh ac tiana kuhfla liki innek uh. Ke eltal fahsr eltal wowo ke pusracltal. Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos fahsr tukun cow inge nwe ke na sun masrol nu Beth Shemesh.
13 The people 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.
Mwet Beth Shemesh elos oru kosrani lalos in ima in wheat lalos infahlfal uh. Ke elos ngetak elos liye Tuptup in Wuleang, na elos arulana enganak ke ma elos liye.
14 The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there, where there was a great stone. Then they split the wood of the cart and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Wagon soko ah tuku nwe sun ima se su ma lal Joshua, su sie mwet Beth Shemesh, na tui inse inge sisken eot lulap se. Mwet uh elos kunausya wagon soko ah, ac uniya cow lukwa, ac kisakin tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
15 The Levites took down the LORD’s ark and the box that was with it, in which 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 to the LORD.
Mwet Levi elos eisla Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, ac box srisrik se su oan siska ma nein ma sruloala gold, ac filiya fin eot lulap sac. Ac mwet Beth Shemesh elos kisakin mwe kisa firir ac kisakin mwe sang nu sin LEUM GOD in len sac.
16 When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos liye ma mwet inge oru ah, na elos folok nu Ekron in len sacna.
17 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;
Mwet Philistia elos supwala ma sruloala ke mahlap gold limekosr nu sin LEUM GOD tuh in mwe lung in sang moli ma koluk lalos, kais sie ke siti limekosr inge: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, ac Ekron.
18 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 on which they set down the LORD’s ark. That stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
Elos supwala pac kisrik in pot gold, fal nu ke pisen siti lun Philistia su kolyuk sin tokosra limekosr inge. Kutu siti uh oasr pot fulat raunela, ac kutu siti uh srik, wangin pot we. Eot lulap se su oan in ima lal Joshua, mwet Beth Shemesh sac, su elos tuh filiya Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD fac, eot se inge srakna oasr we nwe misenge, mwe akpwaye.
19 He struck of the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the LORD’s ark, he struck fifty thousand seventy of the men. Then the people mourned, because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.
LEUM GOD El uniya mwet itngoul sin mwet Beth Shemesh inge ke sripen elos ngetang nu luin Tuptup in Wuleang. Ac mwet uh mwemelil ke sripen LEUM GOD El oru ma na upa se inge.
20 The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? To whom shall he go up from us?”
Ke ma inge mwet Beth Shemesh elos fahk, “Su ku in tu ye mutun LEUM GOD, God mutal se inge? Kut ac fah supwalla nu oya tuh Elan som liki kut?”
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the LORD’s ark. Come down and bring it up to yourselves.”
Ac elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yurin mwet Kiriath Jearim ac fahk, “Mwet Philistia elos folokonma Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD. Kowos fahsru ac usot.”
