< 1 Samuel 6 >

1 And it came to pass, that the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines, seven months.
Tukun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan yurin mwet Philistia ke lusen malem itkosr,
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.
mwet uh pangoneni mwet tol lalos ac mwet inutnut lalos ac siyuk selos, “Mea kut ac oru ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD? Kut ac fin supwala nu in acn se na pwaye uh, mea enenu kut in sang in wela?”
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.
Mwet inge topuk ac fahk, “Kowos ac fin supwala Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel, kowos enenu in oasr mwe lung in wi, ma in sang moli ma koluk lowos. Kowos tia ku in folokunla ac wangin mwe lung wi. Fin oasr mwe lung wi som, kowos ac fah kwela liki mas lowos an, ac kowos ac fah etu lah efu ku El akkeokye kowos na.”
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.
Na mwet uh siyuk, “Mwe lung fuka kut ac fah sang nu sel?” Ac elos topuk, “Ipin gold limekosr in oana luman mahlap, oayapa ipin gold limekosr in oana luman kisrik in pot, kais sie nu sin tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia, mweyen kain mwe lokoalok sefanna pa supweyuk nu fowos nukewa ac oayapa nu fin tokosra lowos.
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.
Kowos enenu in oru ma sruloala ke mahlap, ac ma sruloala ke kisrik in pot su kunausla facl suwos an, ac kowos enenu in akfulatye God lun Israel. Sahp El ac fah tia sifil akkeokye kowos ku god lowos ac facl suwos an.
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?
Efu ku kowos in akupaye insiowos oana mwet Egypt ac tokosra we ah? Esam lah God El tuh akfohsyalos nwe ke na elos fuhlela tuh mwet Israel in ku in som liki acn we.
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;
Ke ma inge, kowos akoo soko wagon sasu ac lukwa cow mutan su soenna pula srenenu, ac kaprelosi nu ke wagon uh, a folokunla cow fusr natultal nu ke acn lun cow uh.
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.
Eis Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac filiya fin wagon uh, ac filiya sie box srisrik sisken Tuptup sac, ac nwakla ke ma sruloala gold su kowos sang tuh in moli ma koluk lowos an. Na patokak wagon an ac lela in sifacna yuwot.
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.
Ac kowos in lohang nu ke wagon soko an lah ac fahsr nu oya. Fin fahsr nu layen nu Beth Shemesh, na kalem lah pwaye God lun Israel pa oru mwe keok inge nu sesr. A fin tia fahsr nu we, na kut etu lah tia El pa oru ma inge — ma na sifacna sikyak se.”
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.
Mwet uh oru oana ma fwack nu selos. Elos eis cow lukwa, kapriya nu ke wagon, ac kaliya cow fusr natultal ke nien muta laltal.
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.
Ac elos filiya Tuptup in Wuleang nu fin wagon uh, wi box srisrik neinyen ma sruloala ke kisrik in pot gold ac ma sruloala ke mahlap gold.
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.
Ac cow lukwa fahsr suwoslana nu Beth Shemesh ac tiana kuhfla liki innek uh. Ke eltal fahsr eltal wowo ke pusracltal. Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos fahsr tukun cow inge nwe ke na sun masrol nu Beth 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.
Mwet Beth Shemesh elos oru kosrani lalos in ima in wheat lalos infahlfal uh. Ke elos ngetak elos liye Tuptup in Wuleang, na elos arulana enganak ke ma elos liye.
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.
Wagon soko ah tuku nwe sun ima se su ma lal Joshua, su sie mwet Beth Shemesh, na tui inse inge sisken eot lulap se. Mwet uh elos kunausya wagon soko ah, ac uniya cow lukwa, ac kisakin tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
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.
Mwet Levi elos eisla Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, ac box srisrik se su oan siska ma nein ma sruloala gold, ac filiya fin eot lulap sac. Ac mwet Beth Shemesh elos kisakin mwe kisa firir ac kisakin mwe sang nu sin LEUM GOD in len sac.
16 And, the five lords of the Philistines, saw it, —and returned unto Ekron, the same day.
Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos liye ma mwet inge oru ah, na elos folok nu Ekron in len sacna.
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;
Mwet Philistia elos supwala ma sruloala ke mahlap gold limekosr nu sin LEUM GOD tuh in mwe lung in sang moli ma koluk lalos, kais sie ke siti limekosr inge: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, ac 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.
Elos supwala pac kisrik in pot gold, fal nu ke pisen siti lun Philistia su kolyuk sin tokosra limekosr inge. Kutu siti uh oasr pot fulat raunela, ac kutu siti uh srik, wangin pot we. Eot lulap se su oan in ima lal Joshua, mwet Beth Shemesh sac, su elos tuh filiya Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD fac, eot se inge srakna oasr we nwe misenge, mwe akpwaye.
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.
LEUM GOD El uniya mwet itngoul sin mwet Beth Shemesh inge ke sripen elos ngetang nu luin Tuptup in Wuleang. Ac mwet uh mwemelil ke sripen LEUM GOD El oru ma na upa se inge.
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?
Ke ma inge mwet Beth Shemesh elos fahk, “Su ku in tu ye mutun LEUM GOD, God mutal se inge? Kut ac fah supwalla nu oya tuh Elan som liki kut?”
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.
Ac elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yurin mwet Kiriath Jearim ac fahk, “Mwet Philistia elos folokonma Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD. Kowos fahsru ac usot.”
