1 Samuel 6
1 The ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Taabonni Waaqayyoos Filisxeem keessa jiʼa torba ture.
2 The Philistines called for the priests, and for the diviners, and for the magicians, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of YHWH? Tell us how we should send it to its place."
Filisxeemonnis lubootaa fi ilaaltota waamanii, “Taabota Waaqayyoo maal haa goonu? Iddoo isaatti haala akkamiitiin akka deebifnu nutti himaa” jedhaniin.
3 And they said, "If you are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But return to him a reparation, then you shall be healed and he will be reconciled to you. Will not, then, his hand be removed from you?"
Isaanis deebisanii, “Yoo taabota Waaqa Israaʼel deebiftan, kennaa yakkaa wajjin malee duwwaa isaa hin deebisinaa; ergasii isin ni fayyitu; harki isaas maaliif akka isin irraa hin kaafamin ni beektu” jedhaniin.
4 Then they said, "What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?" They said, "Five golden tumors, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on you and your lords.
Filisxeemonnis, “Kennaan yakkaa kan nu erginuuf maal taʼuu qaba?” jedhanii gaafatan. Isaanis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Sababii dhaʼichi isinii fi bulchitoota keessan rukute tokkuma taʼeef akkuma baayʼina bulchitoota Filisxeemotaatti dhiitoo warqee shananii fi hantuuta warqee shan ergaa.
5 Therefore you shall make images of your tumors, and images of the mice that ravage the land, and you shall 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.
Fakkii dhiitoo fi fakkii hantuutaa kanneen biyya balleessaa jiranii hojjedhaa; Waaqa Israaʼeliif immoo ulfina kennaa. Yoos inni harka isaa isin irraa, waaqota keessanii fi biyya keessan irraa ni kaasa taʼa.
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?
Isin maaliif akka namoota Gibxiitii fi akka Faraʼoon mataa jabeeyyii taatu? Yeroo Waaqayyo adaba cimaadhaan isaan adabetti, isaan akka Israaʼeloonni gara barbaadan deemaniif hin eeyyamneefii?
7 "Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart, and two milk cows, on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and take their calves from them back home;
“Kanaafuu gaarii haaraa fi saawwan hoosisan kan waanjoon takkumaa irra hin kaaʼamin lama qopheessaa. Saawwan sanas gaarii sanatti camadaa; jabboota isaanii garuu gara manaatti biraa deebisaatii itti cufaa.
8 and take the ark, and lay it on the cart; and put the figures of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
Taabota Waaqayyoo sanas fuudhaatii gaarii irra kaaʼaa; miʼa warqee aarsaa yakkaatiif ergitan sanas sanduuqa taabota Waaqayyoo bira jiru keessa kaaʼaa. Akka inni karaa barbaade deemuufis gad dhiisaa;
9 And watch; if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it was a chance that happened to us."
garuu ija isa irraa hin buqqifatinaa. Yoo inni gara biyya isaa gara Beet Shemeshitti qajeele rakkina guddaa kana Waaqayyotu nutti fide. Yoo gara sanatti qajeeluu baate garuu dhaʼichi kun akkuma tasaa nutti dhufe malee Waaqayyo nutti hin fidne.”
10 The men did so, and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home;
Isaanis akkasuma godhan. Saawwan lamaan fuudhanii gaariitti camadan; jabboota isaanii manatti deebisanii itti cufan.
11 and they put the ark on the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors.
Isaanis taabota Waaqayyoo sana gaariitti feʼan. Sanduuqa hantuuta warqeetii fi fakkii iitoo baatu sanas isa wajjin feʼan.
12 The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh; they went along the highway, mooing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the territory of Beth Shemesh.
Saawwan sunis karaa qabatanii utuu bitaa mirgatti hin gorin marʼachaa gara Beet Shemeshitti qajeelan. Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaas hamma daarii Beet Shemeshitti isaan faana buʼan.
13 And those of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to meet it.
Yeroo sanattis namoonni Beet Shemeshi sulula keessaa qamadii haamaa turan; isaanis yommuu ol jedhanii taabota sana arganitti akka malee gammadan.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stopped there near a large rock. And they split the wood of the cart, and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to YHWH.
Gaariin sunis lafa qotiisaa Iyyaasuu nama Beet Shemeshi bira gaʼee kattaa guddaa tokko cina dhaabate. Namoonnis muka gaarii sanaa falaxanii saawwan sana aarsaa gubamu godhanii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan.
15 The Levites took down the ark of YHWH, and the chest that was with it, in which the articles of gold were, and put them on the large rock. And the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to YHWH.
Warri Lewwotaas taabota Waaqayyoo sanduuqicha miʼa warqee baatu sana wajjin gad buusanii kattaa guddaa irra kaaʼan; gaafuma sanas namoonni Beet Shemeshi aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan.
16 When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaa shanan erga waan kana hunda arganii booddee gaafuma sana Eqroonitti deebiʼan.
17 These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to YHWH: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
Iiti warqee kan Filisxeemonni aarsaa yakkaa godhanii Waaqayyoof ergan kanaa dha; isaanis tokko Ashdoodiif, tokko Gaazaaf, tokko Eqrooniif, tokko Gaatiif, tokko immoo Ashqalooniif ergan.
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. The large rock on which they set down the ark of YHWH is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
Baayʼinni hantuutota warqees akkuma baayʼina magaalaawwan Filisxeemotaa kanneen bulchitoota shananiif kennamaniitti ture. Magaalaawwan dallaa jajjaboo qaban kunneenis gandoota of jalaa qabu ture. Kattaan guddichi isaan taabota Waaqayyoo isa irra kaaʼan sunis lafa qotiisaa Iyyaasuu namicha Beet Shemeshi keessatti hamma harʼaatti dhugaa baatuu dha.
19 But the sons of Jeconiah did not rejoice with the people of Beth Shemesh when they saw the ark of YHWH. So he struck seventy men of them, and the people mourned, because YHWH had struck the people with a great slaughter.
Waaqnis sababii isaan taabota Waaqayyoo keessa ilaalaniif namoota Beet Shemeshi dhaʼee isaan keessaa nama torbaatama ajjeese. Sababii Waaqayyo akka malee isaan dhaʼeef namoonni sun ni booʼan;
20 And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy thing? And to whom should he go up from us?"
namoonni Beet Shemeshis, “Eenyutu fuula Waaqayyoo, fuula Waaqa qulqulluu kanaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa? Taabonni kun asii baʼee eenyu bira haa dhaqu?” jedhanii gaafatan.
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of YHWH; come down, and bring it up to yourselves."
Ergasii gara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimitti ergamoota erganii, “Filisxeemonni taabota Waaqayyoo deebisaniiru; gad kottaatii taabota sana gara keessanitti fudhadhaa” jedhaniin.
