1 Samuel 6
1 And it came to pass, that the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines, seven months.
Nígbà tí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sì ti wà ní agbègbè Filistini fún oṣù méje,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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;
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 put the ark of Yahweh, into the waggon, —also the coffer, with the mice of gold, and the likenesses of their tumours.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, the five lords of the Philistines, saw it, —and returned unto Ekron, the same day.
Àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini márààrún rí gbogbo èyí, wọ́n sì padà ní ọjọ́ náà sí Ekroni.
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;
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, 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.
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, 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.
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 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?
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 unto the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, —The Philistines have returned the ark of Yahweh, come down, fetch it up unto 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.”
