1 Samuel 6
1 When the ark of the LORD had been in the land of the Philistines seven months,
BAWIPA e thingkong teh Filistin ram dawk thapa yung sari touh ao hnukkhu,
2 the Philistines summoned the priests and diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how to send it back to its place.”
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,
3 They replied, “If you return the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it away empty, but by all means return it to Him with a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will understand why His hand has not been lifted from you.”
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.
4 “What guilt offering should we send back to Him?” asked the Philistines. “Five gold tumors and five gold rats,” they said, “according to the number of rulers of the Philistines, since the same plague has struck both you and your rulers.
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.
5 Make images of your tumors and of the rats that are ravaging the land. Give glory to the God of Israel, and perhaps He will lift His hand from you and your gods and your land.
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.
6 Why harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened theirs? When He afflicted them, did they not send the people on their way as they departed?
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.
7 Now, therefore, prepare one new cart with two milk cows that have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and pen them up.
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.
8 Take the ark of the LORD, set it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending Him as a guilt offering. Then send the ark on its way,
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.
9 but keep watching it. If it goes up the road to its homeland, toward Beth-shemesh, it is the LORD who has brought on us this great disaster. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not His hand that punished us and that it happened by chance.”
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.
10 So the men did as instructed. They took two milk cows, hitched them to the cart, and penned up their calves.
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.
11 Then they put the ark of the LORD on the cart, along with the chest containing the gold rats and the images of the tumors.
BAWIPA thingkong hah leng van vah a thueng awh. Moihnam meikaphawk kaawm e thingkongnaw hai a thueng awh.
12 And the cows headed straight up the road toward Beth-shemesh, staying on that one highway and lowing as they went, never straying to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed behind them to the border of Beth-shemesh.
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.
13 Now the people of Beth-shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they were overjoyed at the sight.
Bethshemesh khocanaw teh a yon dawk catunnaw a a awh teh, a khet awh navah, thingkong hah a hmu awh navah a lunghawi awh.
14 The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh and stopped there near a large rock. The people chopped up the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.
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.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the chest containing the gold objects, and they placed them on the large rock. That day the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the LORD.
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.
16 And when the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they returned to Ekron that same day.
Filistin bawi panga touh ni a khet awh hnukkhu hot hnin navah EKron kho lah a cei awh.
17 As a guilt offering to the LORD, the Philistines had sent back one gold tumor for each city: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron.
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.
18 The number of gold rats also corresponded to the number of Philistine cities belonging to the five rulers—the fortified cities and their outlying villages. And the large rock on which they placed the ark of the LORD stands to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh.
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.
19 But God struck down some of the people of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the ark of the LORD. He struck down seventy men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck them with a great slaughter.
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.
20 The men of Beth-shemesh asked, “Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? To whom should the ark go up from here?”
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.
21 So they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up with you.”
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.
