1 Samuel 6
1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Ary ny fiaran’ i Jehovah dia tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina fito volana.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: 'What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? declare unto us wherewith we shall send it to its place.'
Ary ny Filistina nampaka ny mpisorona sy ny mpanao fankatovana ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hataontsika amin’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah? Lazao aminay izay hanateranay azy ho any amin’ ny fitoerany.
3 And they said: 'If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return Him a guilt-offering; then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.'
Ary hoy ireo: Raha aterinareo ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, aza aterina foana izy, fa manatera fanati-panonerana ho Azy mihitsy, dia ho sitrana ianareo, ary ho fantatrareo koa izay tsy ialan’ ny tànany aminareo.
4 Then said they: 'What shall be the guilt-offering which we shall return to Him?' And they said: 'Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
Dia hoy ny olona: Inona ary no fanati-panonerana haterinay ho Azy? Ary hoy kosa ireo: Vay volamena dimy sy totozy volamena dimy, araka ny isan’ ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina; fa aretina iray ihany no manjo anareo rehetra sy ny andriananareo.
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel; peradventure He will lighten His hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
Koa manaova sarin’ ny vainareo sy sarin’ ny totozinareo izay manimba ny tany; ary omeo voninahitra ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; angamba hanamaivana ny tanany hiala aminareo sy ny andriamanitrareo ary ny taninareo Izy.
6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when He had wrought among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
Fa nahoana no manamafy ny fonareo ianareo, toy ny nanamafian’ ny Egyptiana sy Farao ny fony? Raha nanao fahagagana namelezany azy Izy, moa tsy nalefany handeha va ny olona, ka dia lasa?
7 Now therefore take and prepare you a new cart, and two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them.
Koa ankehitriny manaova sariety vaovao, ary mangalà ombivavy roa mitaiza, izay tsy mbola nasiana zioga, dia afehezo amin’ ny sariety ny ombivavy, ka ento mody ny zanany hiala aminy.
8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return Him for a guilt-offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
Ary alao ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, ka apetraho eo ambonin’ ny sariety, dia ataovy ao anaty vata kely eo anilany ny fanaka volamena haterinareo ho Azy ho fanati-panonerana, ka ampandehano izany.
9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, then He hath done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.'
Ary izahao, ka raha miakatra amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny taniny ihany ho any Beti-semesy izany, dia Jehovah no nahatonga izao loza lehibe izao tamintsika; fa raha tsy izany, dia ho fantatsika fa tsy ny tanany no namely antsika, fa mby amin’ izay hanjo antsika.
10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Dia nataon’ ny olona izany, ka naka ombivavy roa mitaiza izy, dia nafehiny tamin’ ny sariety ireo, fa ny zanany narindriny tao an-trano.
11 And they put the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
Dia napetrany teo ambonin’ ny sariety ny fiaran’ i Jehovah sy ny vata kely ary ny totozy volamena sy ny sarin’ ny vay.
12 And the kine took the straight way by the way to Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
Ary ny ombivavy nizotra mahitsy tamin’ ny lalana mankany Beti-semesy, dia nandeha tamin’ ny lalambe ka nimàmà teny am-pandehanana, ary tsy nania, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia, ary ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina nanaraka azy hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Beti-semesy.
13 And they 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.
Ary ny Beti-semesita nijinja ny vary tritika teny an-dohasaha; ary nanopy ny masony izy ka nahita ny fiara, dia faly raha nahita izany.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone; and they cleaved the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine for a burnt-offering unto the LORD.
Ary ny sariety tonga teo an-tanimbarin’ i Josoa Beti-semesita, dia nijanona teo, ary nisy vato lehibe teo; dia namaky ny hazon’ ny sariety ny olona ka nanatitra ny ombivavy ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein 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 unto the LORD.
Ary ny Levita nampidina ny fiaran’ i Jehovah sy ny vata kely izay teo aminy, dia ilay nitoeran’ ny fanaka volamena, ka nametraka azy teo ambonin’ ny vato lehibe; ary tamin’ izany andro izany ny mponina tao Beti-semesy nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ho an’ i Jehovah.
16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Ary raha hitan’ ireo andriana dimy tamin’ ny Filistina izany, dia niverina nankany Ekrona androtrizay ihany izy.
17 And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a guilt-offering unto the LORD: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
Ary izao no sary volamenan’ ny vay naterin’ ny Filistina ho fanati-panonerana ho an’ i Jehovah: an’ i Asdoda iray, an’ i Gaza iray, an’ i Askelona iray, an’ i Gata iray, an’ i Ekrona iray;
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 unto Abel by the great stone, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD, which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
ary ny totozy volamena dia araka ny isan’ ny tanàna rehetra an’ ny Filistina, izay an’ ireo andriana dimy, an’ ny tanàna mimanda, na ny vohitra any ivelany, ka hatramin’ ny vato lehibe izay nametrahany ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; ary mbola any an-tanimbarin’ i Josoa Beti-semesita mandraka androany izany.
19 And He smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had gazed upon the ark of the LORD, even He smote of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because the LORD had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
Ary Jehovah namely ny mponina tao Beti-semesy noho ny nijerijeren’ ireo ny fiarany, ka dia olona fito-polo amby dimy alina no maty; dia nisaona ny olona, satria nasian’ i Jehovah, ka be dia be no maty.
20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said: 'Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? and to whom shall it go up from us?'
Ary hoy ny mponina tao Beti-semesy: Iza no mahajanona eo anoloan’ izao Jehovah Andriamanitra masìna izao? Ary ho amin’ iza no hiakarany, rehefa miala amintsika?
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying: 'The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.'
Dia naniraka olona nankany amin’ ny mponina tao Kiriata-jearima izy hanao hoe: Efa naverin’ ny Filistina ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; koa midìna ianareo, dia ento miakatra ho any aminareo izy.
