1 Samuel 6
1 And it was [the] ark of Yahweh in [the] region of [the] Philistines seven months.
Sanduku la Bwana lilipokuwa limekaa katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa miezi saba,
2 And they summoned [the] Philistines the priests and the diviners saying what? will we do to [the] ark of Yahweh make known to us how? will we send it to own place its.
Wafilisti waliwaita makuhani wa Dagoni na waaguzi, na kuwaambia, “Tutafanya nini na hili Sanduku la Bwana? Tuambieni jinsi tutakavyolirudisha mahali pake.”
3 And they said if [you are] about to send away [the] ark of [the] God of Israel may not you send away it empty for certainly you will send back to him a guilt offering then you will be healed and it will be known by you why? not does it turn aside hand his from you.
Wakajibu, “Kama mtalirudisha Sanduku la Mungu wa Israeli, msilirudishe mikono mitupu bali kwa vyovyote mpelekeeni sadaka ya hatia. Kisha mtaponywa, nanyi mtafahamu kwa nini mkono wake haujaondolewa kwenu.”
4 And they said what? [is] the guilt offering which we will send back to him and they said [the] number of [the] rulers of [the] Philistines five (tumors of *Q(K)*) gold and five mice of gold for a plague one [belongs] to all of them and to rulers your.
Wafilisti wakawauliza, “Ni sadaka gani ya hatia tutakayompelekea?” Wakajibu, “Majipu matano ya dhahabu na panya wa dhahabu watano, kulingana na idadi ya watawala wa Wafilisti, kwa sababu tauni iyo hiyo imewaua ninyi na watawala wenu.
5 And you will make images of (tumors your *Q(K)*) and images of mice your which are ruining the land and you will give to [the] God of Israel honor perhaps he will lighten hand his from with you and from on gods your and from on land your.
Tengenezeni mifano ya majipu na ya panya wale wanaoharibu nchi yenu, nanyi mheshimuni Mungu wa Israeli. Labda ataondoa mkono wake kutoka kwenu na kwa miungu yenu na nchi yenu.
6 And why? will you harden heart your just as they hardened Egypt and Pharaoh heart their ¿ not just when he dealt wantonly with them and they sent away them and they went.
Kwa nini ninyi mnafanya mioyo yenu migumu kama Wamisri na Farao walivyofanya? Je, alipowatendea kwa ukali, hawakuwaachia Waisraeli wakaenda zao?
7 And therefore take and make a cart new one and two cows nursing which not it has gone up on them a yoke and you will harness the cows on the cart and you will take back young ones their from after them the house towards.
“Sasa basi, wekeni gari jipya la kukokotwa pamoja na ngʼombe wawili ambao wamezaa lakini ambao kamwe hawajafungwa nira. Fungieni hao ngʼombe hilo gari, lakini ondoeni ndama wao na mwaweke zizini.
8 And you will take [the] ark of Yahweh and you will put it into the cart and - [the] articles of gold which you have sent back to him a guilt offering you will put in the box from side its and you will send away it and it will go.
Chukueni hilo Sanduku la Bwana na mliweke juu ya gari la kukokotwa, na ndani ya kasha kando yake wekeni hivyo vitu vya dhahabu mnavyompelekea Bwana kama sadaka ya hatia. Lipelekeni,
9 And you will see if [the] way of own territory its it will go up Beth Shemesh he he has done to us the harm great this and if not and we will know that not hand his it touched us chance it it happened to us.
lakini liangalieni kwa makini. Iwapo litakwenda katika nchi yake lenyewe, kuelekea Beth-Shemeshi, basi tutajua kwamba Bwana ndiye alileta haya maafa makubwa juu yetu. Lakini kama halikwenda, basi tutajua kwamba haukuwa mkono wa Bwana uliotupiga na kwamba iliyotokea kwetu ni ajali.”
10 And they did the men thus and they took two cows nursing and they harnessed them on the cart and young ones their they shut up in the house.
Basi wakafanya hivyo. Wakachukua ngʼombe wawili wa aina hiyo, wakawafungia hilo gari la kukokotwa, nao ndama wao wakawekwa zizini.
11 And they put [the] ark of Yahweh into the cart and the box and [the] mice of gold and [the] images of tumors their.
Wakaliweka Sanduku la Bwana juu ya hilo gari la kukokotwa pamoja na lile kasha lenye ile mifano ya panya wa dhahabu na ya majipu ya dhahabu.
12 And they were straight the cows in the road on [the] road of Beth Shemesh on a highway one they went continuously and lowed and not they turned aside right [hand] and left [hand] and [the] rulers of [the] Philistines [were] going after them to [the] border of Beth Shemesh.
Kisha hao ngʼombe wakaenda moja kwa moja kuelekea Beth-Shemeshi, wakishuka bila kugeuka kuume au kushoto, huku wakilia njia yote. Watawala wa Wafilisti waliwafuata hao ngʼombe hadi mpakani mwa Beth-Shemeshi.
13 And Beth Shemesh [were] harvesting [the] harvest of wheat in the valley and they lifted up eyes their and they saw the ark and they rejoiced to see [it].
Wakati huu watu wa Beth-Shemeshi walikuwa wakivuna ngano yao huko bondeni, walipoinua macho yao na kuona lile Sanduku, wakafurahi kuliona.
14 And the cart it came to [the] field of Joshua [the] Beth Shemeshite and it stopped there and [was] there a stone large and they split [the] wood of the cart and the cows they offered up a burnt offering to Yahweh.
Lile gari la kukokotwa lilikuja mpaka kwenye shamba la Yoshua wa Beth-Shemeshi, nalo likasimama kando ya mwamba mkubwa. Watu wakapasua mbao za lile gari la kukokotwa na kutoa dhabihu wale ngʼombe kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana.
15 And the Levites they brought down - [the] ark of Yahweh and the box which [was] with it which [were] in it [the] articles of gold and they put [them] to the stone large and [the] people of Beth Shemesh they offered up burnt offerings and they sacrificed sacrifices on the day that to Yahweh.
Walawi walilishusha Sanduku la Bwana, pamoja na lile kasha lililokuwa na vile vitu vya dhahabu na kuviweka juu ya ule mwamba mkubwa. Siku ile watu wa Beth-Shemeshi wakatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na dhabihu kwa Bwana.
16 And five [the] rulers of [the] Philistines they saw and they went back Ekron on the day that.
Wale watawala watano wa Wafilisti waliona haya yote, nao wakarudi siku ile ile mpaka Ekroni.
17 And these [are] [the] tumors of gold which they sent back [the] Philistines a guilt offering to Yahweh for Ashdod one for Gaza one for Ashkelon one for Gath one for Ekron one.
Haya ndiyo yale majipu ya dhahabu Wafilisti waliyotuma kama sadaka ya hatia kwa Bwana, moja kwa ajili ya Ashdodi, moja kwa Gaza, moja kwa Ashkeloni, moja kwa Gathi, na moja kwa Ekroni.
18 And [the] mice of gold [the] number of all [the] cities of [the] Philistines of [the] five the rulers from a city of fortification and unto village[s] of the hamlet-dweller[s] and to - Abel the great which they set down on it [the] ark of Yahweh until the day this in [the] field of Joshua [the] Beth Shemeshite.
Nayo hesabu ya wale panya wa dhahabu ilikuwa kulingana na idadi ya miji ya Wafilisti ya watawala watano wa Wafilisti: miji yao iliyozungukwa na maboma, pamoja na vijiji vya miji hiyo. Ule mwamba mkubwa, ambao juu yake waliliweka lile Sanduku la Bwana, ni ushahidi hadi leo katika shamba la Yoshua wa Beth-Shemeshi.
19 And he struck down among [the] people of Beth Shemesh for they had looked in [the] ark of Yahweh and he struck down among the people seventy man fifty thousand man and they mourned the people for he had struck Yahweh the people a blow (great *LB(ah)*)
Lakini Mungu aliwapiga baadhi ya watu wa Beth-Shemeshi, akiwaua watu sabini miongoni mwao kwa sababu walichungulia ndani ya Sanduku la Bwana. Watu wakaomboleza kwa sababu ya pigo zito kutoka kwa Bwana,
20 and they said [the] people of Beth Shemesh who? is he able to stand before Yahweh the God holy this and to whom? will it go up from with us.
nao watu wa Beth-Shemeshi wakauliza, “Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele za Bwana, huyu Mungu aliye mtakatifu? Sanduku litapanda kwenda kwa nani kutoka hapa?”
21 And they sent messengers to [the] inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim saying they have brought back [the] Philistines [the] ark of Yahweh come down take up it to you.
Kisha wakatuma wajumbe kwa watu wa Kiriath-Yearimu, wakisema, “Wafilisti wamerudisha Sanduku la Bwana. Shukeni na mlipandishe huko kwenu.”
