1 Samuel 6
1 Now the ark of the Lord was in the region of the Philistines for seven months.
Kane Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye osebet e piny jo-Filistia kuom dweche abiriyo,
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Reveal to us in what manner we should send it back to its place.” And they said:
jo-Filistia noluongo jodolo gi ajuoke mi giwacho niya, “Wabiro timo angʼo gi Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye? Nyiswauru kaka onego wadwoke kare.”
3 “If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, do not choose to release it empty. Instead, repay to him what you owe because of sin. And then you will be cured. And you will know why his hand did not withdraw from you.”
Negidwoko niya, “Ka udwoko Sandug Muma mar Nyasach jo-Israel, to kik udwoke nono, nyaka une ni udwoke gi misango mar pwodhruok e ketho, eka nochangu, bende ubiro ngʼeyo gima omiyo lwete ok oseweyo sandou.”
4 And they said, “What is it that we ought to repay to him because of transgression?” And they responded:
Jo-Filistia nopenjo niya, “En misango machal nade mar pwodhruok e ketho monego wakowne?” Negidwoko niya, “Dhahabu abich molos machal gi buche gi dhahabu abich molos machal gi oyieyo ma kwan-gi rom gi ruodhi mag jo-Filistia, nikech masich tuo nomakou kaachiel gi ruodhiu.
5 “In accord with the number of the provinces of the Philistines, you shall fashion five gold cysts and five gold mice. For the same plague has been upon all of you and your princes. And you shall fashion a likeness of your cysts and a likeness of the mice, which have destroyed the land. And so shall you give glory to the God of Israel, so that perhaps he may lift off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
Losuru gik machal gi buche kod machal gi oyieyo maketho pinyu, kendo miuru Nyasach jo-Israel duongʼ. Dipo ka ongʼwononu moweyo sandou kaachiel gi nyisecheu gi pinyu.
6 Why have you hardened your hearts, just as Egypt and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? After he was struck, did he not then release them, and they went away?
Angʼo momiyo chunyu pek kaka jo-Misri gi Farao notimo? Kane osandogi, donge negiweyo jo-Israel odhi kuma ne onego gidhiye?
7 Now therefore, fashion and take a new cart, with two cows that have given birth, but on which no yoke has been imposed. And yoke them to the cart, but retain their calves at home.
“Omiyo sani ikuru gari manyien, gi dwesni ariyo ma osenywol to pok otwe e jok. Tweuru dwesnigi e gari, nyiroye to tweuru e loch.
8 And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and you shall place it upon the cart, with the articles of gold that you have paid to him on behalf of transgression. You shall place these in a little box at its side. And release it, so that it may go.
Kawuru Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo uket e gari, keturu Sanduku machielo bute mondo uketie gik molos gi dhahabu muterone kaka misango mipwodhruokgo e ketho, kendo uweye odhi,
9 And you shall watch. And if, indeed, it ascends by the way of his own parts, toward Beth-shemesh, then he has done this great evil to us. But if not, then we shall know that it is by no means his hand that has touched us, but instead it happened by chance.”
to sikuru ka ungʼiye. Ka odhi mochomo thurgi nyaka, Beth Shemesh, to kara Jehova Nyasaye ema osekelo sand maduongʼni kuomwa. To ka ok otimore kamano to wabiro ngʼeyo ni lwete ok ema osesandowa to ni mani obironwa abira.”
10 Therefore, they did it in this way. And taking two cows that were feeding calves, they yoked them to the cart, and they enclosed their calves at home.
Omiyo negitimo kamano. Negikawo dwesni ariyo machal kamano mi gitweyo e gari kendo gitweyo nyiroye e loch.
11 And they placed the ark of God upon the cart, with the little box that held the gold mice and the likenesses of the cysts.
Negiketo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye e gari bende negiketo Sanduku motingʼo dhahabu molos ka oyieyo gi dhahabu molos ka buche.
12 But the cows went directly along the way that leads to Beth-shemesh. And they advanced only in one direction, lowing as they went. And they did not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left. Moreover, the princes of the Philistines followed them, as far as the borders of Beth-shemesh.
To dwesni nowuok kochiko Beth Shemesh tir, negiluwo yo ka gidhi to giywak, ne ok gibaro korachwich kata koracham. Ruodhi mag jo-Filistia ne luwogi nyaka negichopo e tongʼ man Beth Shemesh.
13 Now the Beth-shemeshites were harvesting wheat in the valley. And lifting up their eyes, they saw the ark, and they were glad when they had seen it.
E kindeno jo-Beth Shemesh ne kayo ngano e holo, kane gitingʼo wangʼ-gi malo mi gineno Sandug Muma, negimor ka ginene.
14 And the cart went into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemeshite, and it stood still there. Now in that place was a great stone, and so they cut up the wood of the cart, and they placed the cows upon it as a holocaust to the Lord.
Gari nobiro nyaka e puoth Joshua ma ja-Beth Shemesh, modhi mochungʼ but lwanda maduongʼ. Ji nobaro yiend gari mi gichiwo dwesnigo ka misango miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye.
15 But the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at its side, in which were the articles of gold, and they placed them upon the great stone. Then the men of Beth-shemesh offered holocausts and immolated victims, on that day, to the Lord.
Jo-Lawi noloro Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi Sanduku manotingʼo gik molos gi dhahabu, mine giketogi ewi lwanda maduongʼ. Odiechiengʼno jo-Beth Shemesh nochiwo misango miwangʼo pep gi misengini mamoko ni Jehova Nyasaye.
16 And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Ekron on the same day.
Ruodhi abich mag jo-Filistia noneno gik manotimore duto mine gidok odiechiengno nyaka Ekron.
17 Now these are the gold cysts, which the Philistines repaid to the Lord for transgression: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one.
Magi e dhahabu molos ka buche mane jo-Filistia oorone Jehova Nyasaye ka misango mipwodhruokgo e ketho ka moro ka moro ochungʼ kar Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath kod Ekron.
18 And there were gold mice, according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fortified city to the village that was without a wall, and even to the great stone upon which they placed the ark of the Lord, which was, at last in that day, in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemeshite.
To kwan mar dhahabu molos ka oyieyo ne chal gi kwan dalane mag jo-Filistia mag Ruodhi abich, ne gin mier matindo mochiel motegno man-gi mieregi. Lwanda maduongʼ, mane giketoe Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye, pod ochungʼ kanyo ka ranyisi e puoth Joshua ja-Beth Shemesh nyaka chil kawuono.
19 Then he struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had seen the ark of the Lord. And he struck down some of the people: seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.
To Nyasaye nogoyo jo-Beth Shemesh moko, monego ji piero abiriyo nikech negingʼiyo ii Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ji noywak malit nikech sand mane Jehova Nyasaye osekelonegi,
20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said: “Who will be able to stand in the sight of the Lord, this holy God? And who will ascend to him from us?”
kendo jo-Beth Shemesh nopenjo niya, “En ngʼa manyalo chungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasaye malerni? Ngʼatno ma Sandugni nodhine koa ka?”
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying: “The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Descend and lead it back to you.”
Eka negioro joote ne jo-Kiriath Jearim, kagiwacho niya, “Jo-Filistia osedwogo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye. Biuru mondo ukawe udhi kode.”
