1 Samuel 6
1 And the ark of Yhwh was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Alò, lach SENYÈ a te nan peyi Filisten yo pandan sèt mwa.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of Yhwh? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
Konsa, Filisten yo te rele prèt yo avèk divinò yo, e te di yo: “Kisa pou nou fè avèk lach SENYÈ a? Di nou kijan nou dwe voye li nan plas li.”
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 trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
Yo te di: “Si ou voye lach Bondye Israël la ale, pa voye li vid, men ou va anverite, remèt Li yon ofrann koupab. Konsa nou va geri e li va vin konprann poukisa men L poko retire sou nou.”
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, 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.
Yo te reponn: “Kisa nou dwe voye kòm ofrann koupab pou remèt Li a?” Epi yo te di: “Senk imaj boul bouton fèt an lò avèk senk imaj sourit fèt an lò nan non prens Filisten yo. Paske se te yon sèl fleyo ki te vini sou nou tout ak sou prens nou yo.
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.
Konsa nou va fè yo sanblab a boul bouton nou yo, e sanblab a sourit ki anvayi peyi nou an, epi nou va bay glwa a Bondye Israël la. Petèt Li kab lache men l sou nou.
6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
Poukisa nou fè kè di tankou Ejipsyen yo avèk Farawon te fè kè yo di a? Lè li te fin aji sevèman avèk yo, èske li pa t kite pèp la ale e yo te ale?
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
“Pou sa, ale fè yon kabwèt nèf avèk de vach nouris ki pa t janm rale chaj. Fè vach yo rale chaj sou kabwèt la e retire ti bèf yo mennen yo lakay, lwen yo.
8 And take the ark of Yhwh, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
Pran lach SENYÈ a e mete li sou kabwèt la, epi mete bagay an lò ke nou ap retounen bay kòm ofrann koupab la nan yon bwat akote li. Alò, voye li ale pou li kapab ale.
9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast 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.
Veye, si li monte pa chemen Béth-Schémesch. Konsa n a konnen se Li menm ki fè nou gwo malè sila a. Men si se pa konsa; alò, nou va konnen ke se pa men Li menm ki te frape nou an, men sa te vin rive pa aza.”
10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
Se konsa mesye yo te fè. Yo te pran de vach nouris, yo te fè yo rale chaj nan kabwèt la e te fèmen ti bèf yo lakay.
11 And they laid the ark of Yhwh upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
Yo te mete lach SENYÈ a sou kabwèt la e bwat la avèk sourit an lò ak imaj gwo boul bouton yo.
12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Beth–shemesh, 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 unto the border of Beth–shemesh.
Epi vach yo te pran wout dwat nan direksyon Beth-Schémesch. Yo te fè wout nan gran chemen an. Yo te rele fò pandan yo nan wout la, e yo pa t vire akote ni adwat, ni agoch. Prens Filisten yo te swiv yo jis rive nan lizyè Beth-Schémesch la.
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.
Alò, Beth-Schémesch t ap fè rekòlt ble pa yo nan vale a. Yo te leve zye yo, yo te wè lach la, e yo te kontan wè li.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth–shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto Yhwh.
Kabwèt la te vini nan chan Josué a, moun Beth-Schémech, e li te kanpe la kote ki te gen yon gwo wòch. Konsa, yo te fann bwa kabwèt la e yo te ofri vach yo kòm ofrann brile a SENYÈ a.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of Yhwh, 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 Yhwh.
Levit yo te desann lach SENYÈ a ak bwat ki te avèk li a. Andedan te gen tout bagay an lò yo e yo te mete yo sou gwo wòch la. Epi mesye Beth-Schémech yo te ofri ofrann brile e yo te fè sakrifis nan jou sa a bay SENYÈ a.
16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Lè senk prens Filisten yo te fin wè li, yo te retounen Ékron menm jou a.
17 And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto Yhwh; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
Sa yo se imaj gwo boul bouton an lò ke Filisten yo te remèt kòm yon ofrann koupab bay SENYÈ a: youn pou Asdod, youn pou Gaza, youn pou Askalon, youn pou Gath e youn pou Ékron;
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 unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of Yhwh: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth–shemite.
anplis ak sourit an lò yo, selon kantite a tout vil Filisten ki te pou senk prens yo, vil fòtifye yo ak bouk andeyò yo. Gwo wòch kote yo te mete lach SENYÈ a se yon temwen jis rive jodi a nan chan Josué a, moun Beth-Schémech la.
19 And he smote the men of Beth–shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Yhwh, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because Yhwh had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
Li te frape e fè mouri kèk mesye Beth-Schémech akoz yo te gade anndan lach SENYÈ a. Li te frape pami tout pèp la, senkant-mil-swasann-dis òm e pèp la te vin dezole akoz SENYÈ a te frape yo avèk yon gwo masak.
20 And the men of Beth–shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Yhwh God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
Mesye Beth-Schémech yo te di: “Se kilès ki kab kanpe devan SENYÈ Bondye sen sila a? Epi a kilès pou Li ta monte kite nou?”
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath–jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of Yhwh; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
Konsa, yo te voye mesaje yo vè moun Kirjath-Jearim yo e te di: “Filisten yo te pote lach SENYÈ a retounen. Vin desann pran li monte kote nou an.”
