1 Samuel 6
1 The LORD’s ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Kane Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye osebet e piny jo-Filistia kuom dweche abiriyo,
2 The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the LORD’s ark? Show us how we should send it to its place.”
jo-Filistia noluongo jodolo gi ajuoke mi giwacho niya, “Wabiro timo angʼo gi Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye? Nyiswauru kaka onego wadwoke kare.”
3 They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”
Negidwoko niya, “Ka udwoko Sandug Muma mar Nyasach jo-Israel, to kik udwoke nono, nyaka une ni udwoke gi misango mar pwodhruok e ketho, eka nochangu, bende ubiro ngʼeyo gima omiyo lwete ok oseweyo sandou.”
4 Then they said, “What should the trespass offering be which we shall return to him?” They said, “Five golden tumours and five golden mice, for the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
Jo-Filistia nopenjo niya, “En misango machal nade mar pwodhruok e ketho monego wakowne?” Negidwoko niya, “Dhahabu abich molos machal gi buche gi dhahabu abich molos machal gi oyieyo ma kwan-gi rom gi ruodhi mag jo-Filistia, nikech masich tuo nomakou kaachiel gi ruodhiu.
5 Therefore you shall make images of your tumours and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.
Losuru gik machal gi buche kod machal gi oyieyo maketho pinyu, kendo miuru Nyasach jo-Israel duongʼ. Dipo ka ongʼwononu moweyo sandou kaachiel gi nyisecheu gi pinyu.
6 Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully amongst them, didn’t they let the people go, and they departed?
Angʼo momiyo chunyu pek kaka jo-Misri gi Farao notimo? Kane osandogi, donge negiweyo jo-Israel odhi kuma ne onego gidhiye?
7 “Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart and two milk cows on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
“Omiyo sani ikuru gari manyien, gi dwesni ariyo ma osenywol to pok otwe e jok. Tweuru dwesnigi e gari, nyiroye to tweuru e loch.
8 and take the LORD’s ark and lay it on the cart. Put the jewels of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
Kawuru Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo uket e gari, keturu Sanduku machielo bute mondo uketie gik molos gi dhahabu muterone kaka misango mipwodhruokgo e ketho, kendo uweye odhi,
9 Behold, if it goes up by the way of its own border to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us. It was a chance that happened to us.”
to sikuru ka ungʼiye. Ka odhi mochomo thurgi nyaka, Beth Shemesh, to kara Jehova Nyasaye ema osekelo sand maduongʼni kuomwa. To ka ok otimore kamano to wabiro ngʼeyo ni lwete ok ema osesandowa to ni mani obironwa abira.”
10 The men did so, and took two milk cows and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Omiyo negitimo kamano. Negikawo dwesni ariyo machal kamano mi gitweyo e gari kendo gitweyo nyiroye e loch.
11 They put the LORD’s ark on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumours.
Negiketo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye e gari bende negiketo Sanduku motingʼo dhahabu molos ka oyieyo gi dhahabu molos ka buche.
12 The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh. They went along the highway, lowing as they went, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.
To dwesni nowuok kochiko Beth Shemesh tir, negiluwo yo ka gidhi to giywak, ne ok gibaro korachwich kata koracham. Ruodhi mag jo-Filistia ne luwogi nyaka negichopo e tongʼ man Beth Shemesh.
13 The people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
E kindeno jo-Beth Shemesh ne kayo ngano e holo, kane gitingʼo wangʼ-gi malo mi gineno Sandug Muma, negimor ka ginene.
14 The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there, where there was a great stone. Then they split the wood of the cart and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Gari nobiro nyaka e puoth Joshua ma ja-Beth Shemesh, modhi mochungʼ but lwanda maduongʼ. Ji nobaro yiend gari mi gichiwo dwesnigo ka misango miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye.
15 The Levites took down the LORD’s ark and the box that was with it, in which the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
Jo-Lawi noloro Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi Sanduku manotingʼo gik molos gi dhahabu, mine giketogi ewi lwanda maduongʼ. Odiechiengʼno jo-Beth Shemesh nochiwo misango miwangʼo pep gi misengini mamoko ni Jehova Nyasaye.
16 When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Ruodhi abich mag jo-Filistia noneno gik manotimore duto mine gidok odiechiengno nyaka Ekron.
17 These are the golden tumours which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
Magi e dhahabu molos ka buche mane jo-Filistia oorone Jehova Nyasaye ka misango mipwodhruokgo e ketho ka moro ka moro ochungʼ kar Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath kod Ekron.
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 on which they set down the LORD’s ark. That stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
To kwan mar dhahabu molos ka oyieyo ne chal gi kwan dalane mag jo-Filistia mag Ruodhi abich, ne gin mier matindo mochiel motegno man-gi mieregi. Lwanda maduongʼ, mane giketoe Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye, pod ochungʼ kanyo ka ranyisi e puoth Joshua ja-Beth Shemesh nyaka chil kawuono.
19 He struck of the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the LORD’s ark, he struck fifty thousand and seventy of the men. Then the people mourned, because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.
To Nyasaye nogoyo jo-Beth Shemesh moko, monego ji piero abiriyo nikech negingʼiyo ii Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ji noywak malit nikech sand mane Jehova Nyasaye osekelonegi,
20 The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? To whom shall he go up from us?”
kendo jo-Beth Shemesh nopenjo niya, “En ngʼa manyalo chungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasaye malerni? Ngʼatno ma Sandugni nodhine koa ka?”
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the LORD’s ark. Come down and bring it up to yourselves.”
Eka negioro joote ne jo-Kiriath Jearim, kagiwacho niya, “Jo-Filistia osedwogo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye. Biuru mondo ukawe udhi kode.”
