1 Samuel 6
1 And it came to pass, that the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines, seven months.
Lokacin da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ya kai wata bakwai a ƙasar Filistiyawa.
2 Then called the Philistines for the priests and for the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Yahweh? Let us know, wherewith we shall send it to its own place.
Filistiyawa suka kira firistoci da bokaye suka ce, “Me za mu yi da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji? Ku gaya mana yadda za mu komar da shi inda ya fito.”
3 And they said—If ye are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it away, empty, but ye must, surely return, to him, a guilt-offering, —then, shall ye be healed, and it shall be known to you, wherefore his hand would not turn away from you.
Suka ce, in za ku komar da akwatin alkawarin Allah na Isra’ila kada ku komar da shi hannu wofi; amma ku tabbata kun aika da hadaya don laifi zuwa wurinsa. Sa’an nan za ku warke ku kuma san dalilin da ya sa bai cire hannunsa a kanku ba.
4 And they said—What shall be the guilt-offering, that we shall return to him? And they said—By the number of the lords of the Philistines, five tumours of gold, and five mice of gold, —for, one plague, was on you all, and on your lords.
Filistiyawa suka ce, “Wace irin hadaya don laifi za mu aika masa?” Suka ce, “Marurai biyar na zinariya da ɓeraye biyar na zinariya bisa ga yawan sarakunan Filistiyawa. Saboda annoba iri ɗaya ce ta buga ku da shugabanninku.
5 Wherefore ye shall make likenesses of your turnouts, and likenesses of your mice that are laying waste the land, and shall, give unto the, God of Israel, glory, —Peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your god, and from off your land.
Ku yi siffofin marurai da na ɓeraye da suke hallaka gari, ku ba da girma ga Allah na Isra’ila. Wataƙila zai ɗauke hukuncinsa daga gare ku da allolinku da kuma ƙasarku.
6 Wherefore, then, should ye make your heart dull, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh made their heart dull! When he had done his great doings upon them, did they not let them go, and they departed?
Me ya sa kun taurare kanku kamar yadda Masarawa da Fir’auna suka yi? Da ya ba su matsanancin wahala, ba su bar Isra’ilawa suka tafi hanyarsu ba?
7 Now, therefore, take and get ready, one new waggon, and two milch kine, whereon hath never come yoke, —then shall ye fasten the kine in the waggon, and withdraw their calves from them, into the shed;
“Yanzu fa ku shirya sabon keken shanu da shanu biyu masu ba wa’ya’yansu nono, waɗanda ba a taɓa sa musu karkiya ba. Ku daure keken shanu wa shanun, amma ku tsare’yan maruƙansu a gida.
8 and ye shall take the ark of Yahweh, and place it in the waggon, also, the jewels of gold which ye send back to him as a guilt-offering, shall ye put into a coffer, at the side thereof, —so shall ye let it go, and it shall depart.
Ku ɗauki wani akwati ku sa siffofin zinariyan nan a ciki, waɗanda za su zama kyautai na shafen laifi, ku ajiye kusa da Akwati na UBANGIJI. Bayan haka sai ku sa keken shanun da akwatin a hanya, ku bar shi yă tafi.
9 Then shall ye look—if, by the way of its own boundary, it goeth up to Beth-shemesh, he, it was who caused us this great affliction, —but, if not, then shall we know that it was not, his hand, that smote us, a chance, it was, that befell us.
Amma ku zuba ido ku ga in ya haura zuwa yankinsa, zuwa Bet-Shemesh, to, Ubangiji ne ya kawo mana babban masifar a kanmu. Amma in bai bi ta nan ba, za mu san cewa ba shi ne ya buge mu ba, tsautsayi ne kawai.”
10 The men, therefore, did so, and took two milch kine, and fastened them in the waggon, —but, their calves, shut they up in the shed.
Suka yi haka. Suka ɗauki shanun tatsa guda biyu suka ɗaura musu keken shanu, suka tsare’yan maruƙansu a gida.
11 And they put the ark of Yahweh, into the waggon, —also the coffer, with the mice of gold, and the likenesses of their tumours.
Suka aza akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji a bisa keken shanun tare da akwatin siffofin ɓerayen zinariya da siffofin maruran.
12 And the kine went straight along the road, on the way to Beth-shemesh, yea, along the main highway, they went, lowing as they went, turning not aside, to the right hand or to the left. And, the lords of the Philistines, went along after them, as far as the bounds of Beth-shemesh.
Sai shanun suka miƙe zuwa Bet-Shemesh. Suka bi hanya daidai, ba su juya dama ko hagu ba. Shugabannin Filistiyawa suka bi har zuwa iyakar ƙasar Bet-Shemesh.
13 Now, they of Beth-shemesh, were reaping their wheat-harvest in the vale, —so they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to meet it.
A lokacin kuwa mutanen Bet-Shemesh suna girbin alkamansu a kwari da suka ɗaga ido suka hangi akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, sai suka yi farin ciki ganinsa.
14 And, the waggon, entered into the field of Joshua, a man of Beth-shemesh, and stood still, there, where also, was a great stone, —so they clave into pieces the planks of the waggon, and, the kine, offered they up as an ascending-sacrifice, unto Yahweh.
Keken shanun ya zo filin Yoshuwa a Bet-Shemesh ya tsaya a gefen wani babban dutse. Mutanen suka faskare keken shanun suka miƙa shanun hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Ubangiji.
15 And, the Levites, took down the ark of Yahweh, and the coffer that was with it, wherein were the jewels of gold, and put them upon the great stone, —and, the men of Beth-shemesh, caused to go up ascending-offerings and offered sacrifices, that day, unto Yahweh.
Lawiyawa suka saukar da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji tare da babban akwati mai siffofin zinariya na ɓeraye da marurai suka ajiye su a kan ƙaton dutse. A wannan rana mutanen Bet-Shemesh suka miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa da waɗansu hadayu ga Ubangiji.
16 And, the five lords of the Philistines, saw it, —and returned unto Ekron, the same day.
Shugabanni biyar na Filistiyawan nan suka ga duk abin da ya faru, suka koma zuwa Ekron a ranar.
17 Now, these, are the golden boils which, the Philistines returned as a guilt-offering unto Yahweh, —For Ashdod, one, for Gaza, one, for Ashkelon, one, for Gath, one, for Ekron, one;
Waɗannan su ne siffofi marurai na zinariya waɗanda Filistiyawa suka aika domin miƙa hadaya don laifi ga Ubangiji, ɗaya domin Ashdod, ɗaya domin Gaza, ɗaya domin Ashkelon, ɗaya domin Gat, ɗaya kuma domin Ekron.
18 And the golden mice, by the number of all the cities of the Philistines, pertaining to the five lords, both fortified cities, and country villages, —yea, even the great meadow whereon they rested the ark of Yahweh, until this day, is in the field-land of Joshua, the man of Beth-shemesh.
Filistiyawa kuma suka aika da siffofin ɓeraye biyar na zinariya. Yawan ɓerayen sun yi daidai da yawan garuruwan sarakunan nan biyar na Filistiyawa. Garuruwan sun ƙunshi waɗanda aka gina katangar birni kewaye da su, da kuma ƙauyukansu. Babban dutsen da suka ajiye akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, ya zama shaida har wa yau a filin Yoshuwa a Bet-Shemesh.
19 And, when he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they looked into the ark of Yahweh, yea smote of the people seventy men [and] fifty thousand men, the people mourned, for that Yahweh had smitten the people with a great smiting.
Amma Allah ya kashe waɗansu mutum saba’in na mutanen Bet-Shemesh domin sun leƙa cikin akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Mutane kuwa suka yi makoki domin Ubangiji ya hallaka mutane da yawa.
20 Then said the men of Beth-shemesh, Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? and, unto whom, shall he go up from us?
Mutanen Bet-Shemesh suka yi tambaya suka ce, wa zai iya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji Allah Mai Tsarki? Wurin wa akwatin alkawari zai je daga nan?
21 And they sent messengers unto the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, —The Philistines have returned the ark of Yahweh, come down, fetch it up unto you.
Sai suka aiki manzanni zuwa Kiriyat Yeyarim suka ce, “Filistiyawa sun komo da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, ku zo ku ɗauka ku kai wajenku.”
