< 1 Samuel 6 >

1 And the ark of the Lord was in the fields 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 with the ark of the Lord? let us know wherewith we shall send off it to its 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 ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty; but ye must to a certainty return him a trespass-offering: then will ye be healed, and it will 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 And they said, What shall be the trespass-offering that we shall return to him? And they answered, According to the number of the lords of the Philistines, five golden hemorrhoids, and five golden mice; for one plague affected them all, and 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 Therefore make images of your hemorrhoids, and images of your mice that devastate the land; and give glory unto the God of Israel: perhaps 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 And why will ye harden your heart, just as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? Did not they, when he had wrought wonderful deeds among them, dismiss them, 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 And now make a new wagon, and take two milch-cows, on which there hath come no yoke, and harness the cows to the wagon, and bring their calves home away 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 place it into the wagon; and the articles of gold, which ye return him as a trespass-offering, ye must put in a casket alongside of it; and then 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 then see, if it go up by the way to its own boundary, to Beth-shemesh, then hath he done us this great evil; but if not, then shall we know that not his hand hath smitten us; it is a chance which hath 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 they took two milch-cows, and harnessed them to the wagon, and their calves they shut up 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 placed the ark of the Lord in the wagon, and the casket with the mice of gold and images of their hemorrhoids.
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 went straight forward on the way on the road to Beth-shemesh: on one highway they did go along, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.
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 Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and when they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, they 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 wagon came to the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite, and stood still there; and there was a great stone; and they split the wood of the wagon, and the cows they offered as a burnt-offering unto 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 casket that was with it, wherein were the articles of gold, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered bunt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices on the same day unto 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 on the same day.
Àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini márààrún rí gbogbo èyí, wọ́n sì padà ní ọjọ́ náà sí Ekroni.
17 And these are the golden hemorrhoids which the Philistines returned as a trespass-offering unto the Lord: For Ashdod one, for Gazzah one, for Ashkelon 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 were according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines under the five lords, from the fortified city, down to the open village, even unto the great stone whereon they had set down the ark of the Lord, and which is unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite.
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 among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, namely, he smote among the people seventy men and fifty thousand men: and the people mourned because the Lord had caused among the people 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 Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God? and to whom shall it go up away 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 Kiryath-ye'arim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord: come ye 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.”
