1 Samuel 6
1 And the ark of Jehovah was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nọrọ nʼobodo ndị Filistia ọnwa asaa.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah? tell us wherewith we shall send it to its place.
Emesịa, ndị Filistia kpọrọ ndị nchụaja ha na ndị na-ajụ mmụọ ase jụọ ha sị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme banyere igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị? Gwa anyị otu anyị ga-esi zilaga ya nʼala ya.”
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; ye must at any rate 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.
Ndị ahụ zara sị, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ezighachi igbe ọgbụgba ndụ chi ndị Izrel, unu ezighachila ya nʼaka efu, kama jirinụ onyinye aja ikpe ọmụma zilaga ya. Unu mee nke a, ihe otiti ndị a ga-ala. Unu ga-amatakwa ihe mere o ji na-ata unu ahụhụ ndị a.”
4 Then they said, What is the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden hemorrhoids, and five golden mice, the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague is upon them all, and upon your lords.
Ha jụrụ, “Olee ụdị onyinye aja ikpe ọmụma anyị ga-enye.” A gwara ha, “Dịka ọnụọgụgụ ndịisi obodo Filistia si dị ise, unu ga-eziga onyinye oyiyi etuto ise nke e jiri ọlaedo kpụọ na oyiyi oke ise nke e jikwa ọlaedo kpụọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ otu ụdị ihe otiti ahụ ka o ji tie unu na ndịisi obodo unu niile.
5 And ye shall make images of your hemorrhoids, and images of your mice that destroy the land, and 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.
Jiri ọlaedo kpụọ oyiyi etuto na oke ndị ahụ na-emebi ala unu, si otu a nye chi ndị Izrel nsọpụrụ. Ma eleghị anya ọ ga-ewezuga aka ike ya site nʼebe unu na chi unu dị iche iche na ala unu nọ.
6 And why will ye harden your heart, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? When he had wrought mightily among them, did they not let them go, and they departed?
Gịnị mere unu ga-eji nyịchie obi unu dịka ndị Ijipt na Fero mere? Mgbe Chineke mesiri ha ike, ọ bụ na ha ahapụghị ndị Izrel ka ha laa?
7 And now make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there has come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
“Wuonụ ụgbọala ọhụrụ, werekwanụ nne ehi abụọ na-enye ụmụ ara kegide nʼụgbọ ahụ. Ehi ndị a ga-abụ ndị a na-ejibeghị kọọ ọrụ ubi mbụ. Mgbe unu kegidere ehi ndị a, chịrịnụ ụmụ ha chụba ha nʼebe a na-edebe ehi.
8 and take the ark of Jehovah, and lay it upon the cart, and the golden jewels, which ye return him as a trespass-offering, put in the coffer by the side thereof; and send it away that it may go.
Werenụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị tinye nʼụgbọala ahụ, tinyekwa ihe ọlaedo ndị ahụ unu na-enye ka ọ bụrụ aja ikpe ọmụma unu nʼime igbe nta unu ga-etinye nʼakụkụ ya. Zilaganụ ya nʼụzọ ọ ga-agbaso.
9 And see, if it go up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, it is he who has done us this great evil; if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that touched us; it was a chance [that] happened to us.
Ma guzonụ na-ele ya anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ gafee oke ala anyị banye Bet-Shemesh, unu ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị mere ka ihe ọjọọ ndị a dakwasị anyị. Ma ọ bụrụ na o meghị otu a, ọ bụrụ na ọ lọghachi, anyị ga-amata na ihe otiti a bụ naanị ihe ndaba nke dakwasịrị anyị, o sikwaghị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.”
10 And the men did so, and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Ha were dịka okwu ndị a si dị. Ha weere nne ehi abụọ na-enye ụmụ ara kegide ha nʼụgbọala ahụ, werekwa ụmụ ha kpọchie nʼọgba anụ.
11 And they laid the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer with the golden mice and the images of their sores.
Igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị na igbe nta ahụ e tinyere oke na oyiyi etuto ọlaedo ndị ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ ka ha dọkwasịrị nʼelu ụgbọala ahụ.
12 And the kine went straight forward on the way to Beth-shemesh; they went by the one high way, lowing as they went; and they turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.
Ehi ndị ahụ dọkpụrụ ụgbọ ahụ gawa nʼụzọ Bet-Shemesh. Ha na-ebekwa muuu mgbe ha na-aga. Ha sogidere ụzọ ahụ na-aga. Ha echigharịghị gaa aka nri maọbụ aka ekpe. Ndị eze ndị Filistia sogidekwara ha nʼazụ tutu rute nʼoke ala Bet-Shemesh.
13 And [they of] Beth-shemesh were reaping the wheat-harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
Nʼoge a, ndị Bet-Shemesh nọ nʼubi na-ewe ihe ubi nke ọka wiiti na ndagwurugwu ala ahụ. Mgbe ha lepụrụ anya hụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, ọṅụ juru ha obi.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite, and stood there; and a great stone was there. And they clave the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine as a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
Mgbe ụgbọala ahụ batara nʼubi nwoke a na-akpọ Joshua na Bet-Shemesh, ọ kwụsịrị nʼakụkụ otu nkume ukwu dị nʼebe ahụ. Ngwangwa, ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ gbuwasịrị osisi e ji mee ụgbọ ahụ, gbukwaa ehi abụọ ahụ, were ha chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer that was with it, in which were the golden jewels, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered up burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to Jehovah.
Ndị ikom Livayị nọ nʼebe ahụ buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị na igbe nta ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ya nke ọlaedo niile a kpụrụ akpụ dị nʼime ya, dọkwasị ha nʼelu nkume. Ndị Bet-Shemesh chụrụ ọtụtụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja ndị ọzọ nye Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị ahụ.
16 And the five lords of the Philistines saw [it], and returned to Ekron the same day.
Mgbe ndị eze ise obodo ndị Filistia hụrụ ihe mere, ha laghachiri nʼEkrọn nʼụbọchị ahụ.
17 And these are the golden sores which the Philistines returned as a trespass-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gazah one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
Onyinye etuto ọlaedo ise a kpụrụ akpụ nke ha nyere Onyenwe anyị dị ka aja ikpe ọmụma nʼihi ihe mere ha bụ maka obodo ndị Filistia ndị a, Ashdọd, Gaza, Ashkelọn, Gat na Ekrọn.
18 and the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and villages of the peasantry; [and they brought them] as far as the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of Jehovah, [which] is to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite.
Ha wetakwara oke ọlaedo a dịka ọnụọgụgụ obodo ndị Filistia si dị, bụ nke ndịisi ise ahụ nwere, obodo ndị e wusiri ike, na obodo nta niile ha. Nkume ukwu ahụ ebe a dọkwasịrị igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, bụ ihe akaebe nʼubi Joshua, onye Bet-Shemesh ruo taa.
19 And he smote among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, and smote of the people seventy men; and the people lamented, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
Ma Onyenwe anyị tigburu iri ndị ikom asaa nʼetiti ndị Bet-Shemesh nʼihi na ha nyobara anya nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ. Nʼihi ya ndị Bet-Shemesh ruru ụjụ nʼihi ndị ahụ niile Onyenwe anyị tigburu.
20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
Ndị Bet-Shemesh jụrụ sị, “Onye pụrụ iguzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke a dị nsọ? Olee ebe anyị ga-ezigakwa igbe ọgbụgba ndụ a?”
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of Jehovah; come down, fetch it up to you.
Ha zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha gaa gwa ndị Kiriat Jearim sị ha, “Ndị Filistia ezighachila igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị. Bịanụ buru ya gaa nʼobodo unu.”
