1 Samuel 6
1 The people of Philistia kept God’s sacred chest in their area for seven months.
Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da oubi fesuale agoane Filisidini soge ganodini dialu fa: no,
2 Then they summoned their priests and their (diviners/men who practice rituals to find out what would happen in the future). They asked them, “What should we do with the sacred chest of Yahweh? Tell us how we should send it back to its own land.”
dunu ilia da gobele salasu dunu amola fefedoasu dunu ili misa: ne wele sia: i, amalu amane sia: i, “Ninia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili abuli hamoma: bela: ? Be ninia da hi dialua amoga iagasea, adila gilisili iagama: bela: ?
3 Those men replied, “Send with it an offering [to show Yahweh that you know that you are] guilty [for having captured the chest], in order that the plague will stop. If you do that, and then if you are healed, you will know that Yahweh is the one who caused you to experience the plague.”
Ilia da bu adole i, “Be dilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili Isala: ili fi ilima iagasea, dafawanedafa su agoai dilia wadela: i hou dabe ima: ne Ema udigili iasu afae ima. Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da su amo da: iya hame legele da hamedafa iagamu. Agoane hamosea ninia se nabasu da gahegimu, amola Ea ninima se nabasu gebewane ianusu bai da nini ba: lu dawa: digimu.”
4 The people of Philistia asked, “What kind of offering should we send?” The men replied, “Make five gold models of the tumors on your skin, and five gold models of rats. Make five of each because that is the same number as the number of your kings, and because the plague has struck both you people and your five kings.
“Ninia da adi su legele iagama: bela: ?” Dunu ilia da adole boba: i. Ilia da adole i, “Filisidini hina bagade dunu biyale amo defele gouli hamoi momahoi biyale amola Filisidini hina bagade dunu defegagale gouliga hamoi ilogoso amane ima. Bai Hina Gode da amo se nabasu dili huluanema amola hina bagade dunu biyale amo huluane iagagai.
5 Make models that represent the rats and the tumors that are ruining your land. Make them in order to honor the god of the Israeli people. If you do that, perhaps he will stop punishing [IDM] you, and your gods, and your land.
Ilogoso amola momahoi olo da dilia soge wadela: lala. Amaiba: le, dilia amo liligi defele gouliga hamomu da defea. Amola Isala: ili Godema nodone dawa: digima. Amabela: ? E da se bagade dima, dilia ‘gode’ amola dilia sogema iaha, amo yolesima: bela: ?
6 Do not be [RHQ] stubborn [IDM] like the Egyptians and their king were. [They did not do what the Israelis’ god told them to do, so he punished them]. After the Israelis’ god finished punishing them very severely, they were glad to allow the Israelis to leave their country [RHQ].
Dilia Idibidi hina bagade amola Idibidi dunu ilia hame nabasu hou defele maedafa hamoma. Mae gogolema, Gode da Idibidi dunu ilia dawa: su doulasili, Isala: ili da Idibidi yolesili asi amo.
7 “So you must build a new cart. Then get two cows that have very recently given birth to calves. They must be cows that have never been hitched to a cart [MTY]. Hitch those cows to the new cart, and take the calves away from their mothers.
Di da gaguli fula ahoasu gaheabolo hahamoma. Amola bulamagau aseme aduna, ela damana gomenesili afae hame hiougisi, gaguli fula ahoasu gaheabolo hahamoi amo lale, bulamagau aduna amo damana gomenesili, bulamagau elea mano ela ha: i manu diasu amoga bu sinidigili oule masa.
8 Put the Israelis’ god’s sacred chest on the cart. Also put in the cart the five gold models of the tumors on your skin and the five gold models of rats. Put them in a small box alongside the sacred chest. They will be an offering to show that you know that you deserved to be punished [for capturing the sacred chest]. Then send [the cows] down the road, [pulling] the cart.
Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili lale, gaguli fula ahoasu amo da: iya ligisima. Amalu beba: le gouliga hahamoi liligi gagili eno amo ganodini salima. Amo gouliga hahamoi liligi da dilia wadela: i hou hamoi dabe susa. Amo bulamagau da hisu masa: ne fisidigima.
9 [Watch the cart as the cows pull it]. If they pull it to Beth-Shemesh [town] in Israel, we will know that it was the Israelis’ god who caused us to experience this plague. But if they do not take it there, we will know that it was not the god [MTY] of the Israelis who has punished us. We will know that it just happened.”
Amalu bulamagau ea ahoabe habodi ahoabeyale sosodoma. Ela da Bedesiamese moilaiga ahoasea, amo da Isala: ili Gode Ea, ninima se dabe iaha dawa: mu. Be amane hamobe hame ba: sea, amo da Gode Ea ilegei hame, be hisu udigili doaga: i, ninia da dawa: mu.”
10 So the people did what the priests and men who predicted what would happen in the future told them to do. They [made] a cart [and] hitched two cows to it. They took the calves from their mothers.
Ilia da hamoma: ne sia: i liligi huluane hamoi. Bulamagau aseme aduna lale, bulamagauga hiougisu hahamoi gaguli fula ahoasu lale, bulamagau damana gomenesi amalu bulamagau elea mano ela ha: i manu diasu amoga bu sinidigili oule asi.
11 They put in the cart Yahweh’s sacred chest and the box with the models of the gold rats and the tumors.
Ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli fula ahoasu gelaba ganodini sali. Amola gouliga hahamoi momahoi amola ilogoso gagili eno ganodini sali, amo gilisili gaguli fula ahoasu gelaba sali.
12 Then the cows started walking, and they went straight toward Beth-Shemesh. They stayed on the road, and were mooing all the time. They did not turn to the left or to the right. The five kings of the Philistia area followed the cows until they reached the edge of Beth-Shemesh.
Bulamagau da Bedesiamese moilaiga doaga: musa: mae giadofalewane asi. Ilia da ahoa gogona: afia: i. Amalalu Filisidini hina bagade dunu biyale, ilia da fa: no bobogele asili, soge ole Bedesiamese amogainisi.
13 At that time, the people of Beth-Shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley [outside the city]. [When the cows came along the road], they looked up and saw the sacred chest. They were extremely happy to see it.
Bedesiamese dunu ilia da fagoa widi bugi amo failalebe ba: i. Ilia da fofogadigili gadoba: le gadoloba, Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili ba: i. Ilia da amo bu ba: beba: le, baligili bagade nodoi.
14 The cows pulled the cart into the field of a man named Joshua, and they stopped alongside a large rock. Several men from the tribe of Levi lifted from the cart the sacred chest and the box containing the gold models of the rats and the tumors, and they put them all on the large rock. Then the people smashed the cart and kindled a fire with the wood [from which the cart had been made]. They slaughtered the cows and burned their bodies/carcasses on the fire to be an offering for Yahweh that would be completely burned. That day the people of Beth-Shemesh offered to Yahweh [many] sacrifices that were completely burned, and [other] sacrifices.
Bulamagau da gaguli fula ahoasu hiougilala misini, Yosiua (Bedesiamese moilaiga esalebe dunu) amo ea osobo moilalegai gele bagade bega: amoi yolesi. Dunu ilia da asili, goaheiga gaguli fula ahoasu ifaga hahamoi amo heda: sini sali, amalu bulamagau aduna amo fane, Hina Godema Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobele sali.
Lifai dunu ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amola gouliga hahamoi liligi gagili eno amo ganodini sali amola gaguia gadole gele bagade da: iya amoga bugisi. Amalu Bedesiamese dunu ilia da Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobei salasu amola eno gobele salasu Hina Godema hamoi.
16 The five kings from the Philistia area watched all this, and then they returned to Ekron, that same day.
Filisidini hina bagade dunu biyale ilia da amo hamobe sosodolalu, amogalawane ili moilai bai bagade Egelonega buhagi.
17 The five gold models of tumors that they sent to be an offering to Yahweh to show that they knew that they deserved to be punished were gifts from [those five kings who were rulers of] Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron [cities].
Filisidini hina bagade dunu da momahoi biyale amo defele gouliga hamoi biyale amo Godema iasi, amo da ilia wadela: i hou dabe lama: ne. Hina bagade dunu afae da moilai bai bagade fi afae afae ouligisa, amo da A: siedode, Ga: isa, A:siegelone, Ga: de amola Egelone, amo hina bagade dunu afae afae da momahoi afae defele iasi.
18 The models of the five gold rats were gifts from the people of those five cities and the surrounding towns. The large rock at Beth-Shemesh, on which the [men of the tribe of Levi] set the sacred chest, is still there in the field that belonged to Joshua. When people see it, they remember [what happened there].
Ilia da gouliga hamoi ilogoso fofonobo amolawane iasi, moilai fi biyale amo da Filisidini hina bagade da ouligi afae afae higagale gouliga hamoi iasi. Amo da dunu hawa: hamosu lai gagoi ganodini fi amola diasua fi gagoi hamega gadili esafulubi huluanedafa gouliga hamoi liligi higagale iasi. Ilia da gagili sali moilai amola hame gagili sali moilai ouligisu. Gele bagade Bedesiamese dunu Yosiua ea soge ganodini amo da: iya ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili ligisi, amo gele da gebewane dana, wali amo hou olelema: ne diala.
19 But seventy men from Beth-Shemesh looked into Yahweh’s sacred chest, and because of that, Yahweh caused them to die. Then the people mourned very much because Yahweh punished [IDM] those men like that.
Hina Gode da Bedesiamese dunu 70 agoane fane legei. Bai ilia Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili ganodini udigili ba: beba: le. Amola dunu ilia da da: i diosu bagadewane nabalu, bai Gode da ilima dunu fane legesu amo se nabasu iba: le.
20 They said, “No one [RHQ] can (resist the power of/stand in the presence of) Yahweh, our holy God, [and remain alive]! Where can we send the sacred chest?”
Amalalu Bedesiamese dunu da amane sia: i, “Nowa da Hadigidafa Hina Gode Ea midadi leloma: ne defele galoma: bela: ? Bai E da Hadigidafa. E da guiguda: mae esaloma: ne, ninia E habodili asunasima: bela: ?”
21 They sent messengers to the people of Kiriath-Jearim [city] to tell them, “The people of Philistia have returned Yahweh’s sacred chest to us! Come here and take it away!”
Ilia da sia: Gilia: de Yialimi dunuma agoane sia: si, “Filisidini dunu ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da buhagili gaguli misi diala. Dilia guigudu lala misa.”
