1 Samuel 6
1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Nígbà tí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sì ti wà ní agbègbè Filistini fún oṣù méje,
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us with which we shall send it to his place.
àwọn ará Filistini pe àwọn àlùfáà, àti àwọn alásọtẹ́lẹ̀, wọ́n sì sọ pé, “Kí ni kí a ṣe pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa? Sọ fún wa bí àwa yóò ti dá a padà sí ààyè rẹ̀.”
3 And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then you shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
Wọ́n dáhùn wí pé, “Tí ẹ bá dá àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli padà, ẹ má ṣe dá a padà ní òfìfo, ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, ẹ fún un ní ẹbọ ẹ̀bi. Nígbà náà ni a ó mú un yín láradá, ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ ìdí tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kò fi tí ì kúrò lára yín.”
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden tumors, 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.
Àwọn ará Filistini béèrè pé, “Irú ẹbọ ẹ̀bi wo ni kí a fi fún un?” Wọ́n dáhùn, “Wúrà oníkókó márùn-ún àti eku ẹ̀lírí wúrà márùn-ún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini, nítorí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn kan náà ni ó kọlù yín àti olórí yín.
5 Why 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: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
Mọ àwòrán ààrùn oníkókó àti ti eku ẹ̀lírí yin tí ó ń ba orílẹ̀-èdè náà jẹ́ kí o sì bu ọlá fún Ọlọ́run Israẹli. Bóyá yóò gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kúrò lára yín, lára ọlọ́run yín àti lára ilẹ̀ yín.
6 Why then do you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had worked wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
Kí ni ó dé tí ẹ fi ń sé ọkàn yín le gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ará Ejibiti àti Farao ti ṣe? Nígbà tí ó fi ọwọ́ líle mú wọn, ṣé wọn kò rán àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde kí wọn kí ó lè lọ ní ọ̀nà wọn?
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milk cows, on which there has come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
“Nísinsin yìí ẹ pèsè kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù tuntun sílẹ̀, pẹ̀lú màlúù méjì tí ó ti fi ọmú fún ọmọ, èyí tí a kò tí ì gba àjàgà sí ọrùn rí, kí ẹ sì so ó mọ́ kẹ̀kẹ́ náà, kí ẹ sì mú ọmọ wọn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn wá sí ilé láti so.
8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it on the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
Kí ẹ sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sí orí kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù àti kí ẹ̀yin sì kó àwọn ohun èlò wúrà tí ẹ̀yin fi fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti ẹbọ ẹ̀bi sí inú àpótí ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì rán an lọ,
9 And see, if it goes up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he has 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.
ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ sì máa ṣọ́ ọ. Tí ó bá ń lọ sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, ìlú rẹ̀, níhà Beti-Ṣemeṣi. Nígbà náà ni Olúwa mú àjálù ńlá yìí bá wa. Ṣùgbọ́n bí kò bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ nígbà náà ni a mọ̀ pé kì í ṣe ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó kọlù wá, ṣùgbọ́n ó wá bẹ́ẹ̀ ni.”
10 And the men did so; and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ṣe èyí. Wọ́n mú abo màlúù méjì, tí ń fi ọmú fún ọmọ, wọn mọ́ ara, wọ́n sì dè é ni ilé kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù, wọn sì so àwọn ọmọ wọn mọ́lẹ̀ ni ilé.
11 And they laid the ark of the LORD on the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors.
Wọ́n gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa lé orí kẹ̀kẹ́ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀ ni àpótí tí eku ẹ̀lírí wúrà àti àwòrán ààrùn oníkókó wà níbẹ̀.
12 And the cows took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and 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 to the border of Bethshemesh.
Nígbà náà; àwọn màlúù lọ tààrà sí ìhà Beti-Ṣemeṣi, wọ́n ń lọ tààrà, wọ́n sì ń dún bí wọ́n ti ń lọ. Wọn kò yà sí ọ̀tún tàbí yà sí òsì. Àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini tẹ̀lé wọn títí dé ibodè Beti-Ṣemeṣi.
13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
Nísinsin yìí, àwọn ará Beti-Ṣemeṣi ń kórè jéró wọn ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, nígbà tí wọ́n wo òkè tí wọ́n sì rí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, wọ́n yọ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they split the wood of the cart, and offered the cows a burnt offering to the LORD.
Kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù wá sí pápá Joṣua ti Beti-Ṣemeṣi, níbẹ̀ ni ó ti dúró ní ẹ̀bá àpáta ńlá kan. Àwọn ènìyàn gé igi ara kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù sí wẹ́wẹ́ wọ́n sì fi àwọn màlúù náà rú ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa.
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 Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
Àwọn ará Lefi gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa wá sí ìsàlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àpótí tí ohun èlò wúrà wà níbẹ̀, wọ́n sì gbé wọn ka orí àpáta ńlá náà. Ní ọjọ́ náà, àwọn ará Beti-Ṣemeṣi rú ẹbọ sísun, wọ́n sì ṣe ìrúbọ sí Olúwa.
16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini márààrún rí gbogbo èyí, wọ́n sì padà ní ọjọ́ náà sí Ekroni.
17 And these are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
Èyí ni kókó wúrà tí àwọn Filistini fún Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ ẹ̀bi ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan fún Aṣdodu, ọ̀kan ti Gasa, ọ̀kan ti Aṣkeloni, ọ̀kan ti Gati, ọ̀kan ti Ekroni.
18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even to the great stone of Abel, where on they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
Wúrà eku ẹ̀lírí jẹ́ iye ìlú tí àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini márààrún ti wá, ìlú olódi pẹ̀lú ìletò wọn. Àpáta ńlá náà, lórí èyí tí a gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa lé jẹ́ ẹ̀rí títí di òní ní oko Joṣua ará Beti-Ṣemeṣi.
19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and three score and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run kọlu díẹ̀ lára àwọn ọkùnrin Beti-Ṣemeṣi, ó pa àádọ́rin wọn, nítorí wọ́n ti wo inú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Àwọn ènìyàn ṣọ̀fọ̀ nítorí àjálù ńlá tí Olúwa fi bá ọ̀pọ̀ wọn jà.
20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
Àwọn ọkùnrin ará Beti-Ṣemeṣi béèrè pé, “Ta ni ó le è dúró ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run mímọ́ yìí? Ọ̀dọ̀ ta ni àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa yóò gbà gòkè lọ láti ibí yìí?”
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come you down, and fetch it up to you.
Nígbà náà, wọ́n rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí àwọn ènìyàn tí Kiriati-Jearimu wí pé, “Àwọn Filistini ti dá àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa padà. Ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, kí ẹ gbé e gòkè lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ yín.”
