1 Samuel 6
1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
A e whitu nga marama o te aaka a Ihowa ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us how we shall send it to its place.
Na ka karanga nga Pirihitini ki nga tohunga karakia ratou ko nga tohunga tuahu, ka mea, Me aha e matou te aaka a Ihowa? whakaaturia mai ki a matou hei te aha he mea ma matou ina kawea atu taua mea ki tona wahi.
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but by all means return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
Na ka mea ratou, Ki te tukua atu e koutou te aaka a te Atua o Iharaira, kaua e tukua tahangatia; engari me hoatu ano he whakahere mo te he hei whakahokinga atu ki a ia: ko reria koutou ora ai, a ka mohio na te aha tona ringa te neke atu ai i a ko utou.
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden haemorrhoids, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
Ano ra ko era, He aha te whakahere mo te he hei whakahokinga atu ki a ia? Na ka mea ratou, Kia rima nga puku koura, kia rite ki te tokomaha o nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini, kia rima hoki nga kiore koura; kotahi tonu nei hoki te mate o koutou kat oa, o o koutou rangatira ano hoki.
5 Therefore ye shall make images of your haemorrhoids, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory to the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
Na me hanga he ahua no o koutou puku, he ahua ano no a koutou kiore i ngaro ai te whenua; a ka hoatu kororia ano ki te Atua o Iharaira; tera pea e mama iho tona ringa ki a koutou, ki o koutou atua, ki to koutou whenua.
6 Why then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
He aha koutou i whakapakeke ai i o koutou ngakau, i pera ai me nga Ihipiana ratou ko Parao i whakapakeke nei i o ratou ngakau? i tana mahinga i nga mea nunui i roto i a ratou, kihai ianei ratou i tuku i te iwi, a haere ana ratou?
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milk cows, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
Na reira tangohia ka hanga he kaata hou, tikina hoki kia rua nga kau kutete kahore ano i mau ioka, ka here ai i nga kau ki te kaata, a ko a raua kuao me tango mai i a raua ki te whare:
8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return to him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
Na ka tiki i te aaka a Ihowa, ka whakatakoto ki runga ki te kaata; a ka hoatu ki tona taha, ki roto i tetahi pouaka, nga mea koura, ta koutou whakahere mo te he hei whakahokinga ki a ia; a ka tuku ai kia haere.
9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of its own land to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.
Ko reira tirohia atu ai e koutou; ki te haere na te aro o tona rohe ki runga, ki Petehemehe, nana tenei kino nui i mea ki a tatou: ki te kahore ia, katahi tatou ki mohio, ehara i a ia te ringa i patua ai tatou; he mea tupono noa mai taua mea i pa mai nei ki a tatou.
10 And the men did so; and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
Na pera ana aua tangata. Tikina ana e ratou nga kau kutete e rua, a herea ana ki te kaata, ko a raua kuao ia i tutakina ki te whare.
11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their haemorrhoids.
A whakanohoia ana e ratou te aaka a Ihowa ki runga ki te kaata, me te pouaka, me nga kiore koura, me nga ahua o o ratou puku.
12 And the cows took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Bethshemesh.
A tika tonu nga kau i te ara ki te huarahi ki Petehemehe; i haere raua ra te huanui, me te tangi haere, kihai hoki i peka ki matau, ki maui; a i aru nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini i a raua, a tae noa ki te rohe ki Petehemehe.
13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
Na i te kokoti witi nga tangata o Petehemehe i te raorao, a, ko te marangatanga ake o o ratou kanohi, ka kite i te aaka, na koa ana ratou i te kitenga atu.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they cut up the wood of the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.
Na haere tonu tera te kaata ki te mara a Hohua, a tetahi Petehemehi, a tu ana i reira, kei reira ano tetahi kohatu nui: na tatangia ana e ratou te rakau o te kaata, a whakaekea ana nga kau hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the box that was with it, in which were the jewels of gold, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
I tangohia iho ano e nga Riwaiti te aaka a Ihowa, me te pouaka i te taha, i reira ra nga mea koura, a whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te kohatu nui: i whakaeke tahunga tinana ano hoki, i patu patunga tapu nga tangata o Petehemehe i taua ra ki a I howa.
16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
A, no te kitenga o nga rangatira e rima o nga Pirihitini, hoki ana ki Ekerono i taua rangi ano.
17 And these are the golden haemorrhoids which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
A ko nga puku koura enei i whakahokia atu nei e nga Pirihitini hei whakahere mo te he ki a Ihowa; mo Aharoro kotahi, mo Kaha kotahi, mo Ahakerono kotahi, mo Kata kotahi, mo Ekerono kotahi;
18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities, and of country villages, even to the great stone of Abel, on which they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth to this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
Me nga kiore koura, rite tonu ki te maha o nga pa katoa o nga Pirihitini, no aua rangatira tokorima nei, o nga pa taiepa me nga pa koraha; tae noa atu ki te kohatu nui, ki Apere, i whakatakotoria ra te aaka a Ihowa ki reira; kei te mara a Hohua Petehemehi taua kohatu a taea noatia tenei ra.
19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and seventy men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
Na ka patua nga tangata o Petehemehe mo ratou i titiro ki roto ki te aaka a Ihowa; koia i patua ai e ia nga tangata o te iwi, e rima tekau mano e whitu tekau. Na ka tangi te iwi mo te patunga nui i patua ai te iwi e Ihowa.
20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
Na ka mea nga tangata o Petehemehe, Ko wai hei tu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tenei Atua tapu? me haere atu ano hoki ia i roto i a tatou ki a wai?
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and bring it up to you.
Katahi ratou ka tono tangata ki nga tangata o Kiriata Tearimi, hei mea, Kua whakahokia mai te aaka a Ihowa e nga Pirihitini; haere mai, mauria atu ki a koutou.
