< 1 Samuel 6 >
1 And the ark of Jehovah is in the field of the Philistines seven months,
Lokacin da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ya kai wata bakwai a ƙasar Filistiyawa.
2 and the Philistines call for priests and for diviners, saying, 'What do we do to the ark of Jehovah? let us know wherewith we send it to its place?'
Filistiyawa suka kira firistoci da bokaye suka ce, “Me za mu yi da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji? Ku gaya mana yadda za mu komar da shi inda ya fito.”
3 And they say, 'If ye are sending away the ark of the God of Israel, ye do not send it away empty; for ye do certainly send back to Him a guilt-offering; then ye are healed, and it hath been known to you why His hand doth not turn aside from you.'
Suka ce, in za ku komar da akwatin alkawarin Allah na Isra’ila kada ku komar da shi hannu wofi; amma ku tabbata kun aika da hadaya don laifi zuwa wurinsa. Sa’an nan za ku warke ku kuma san dalilin da ya sa bai cire hannunsa a kanku ba.
4 And they say, 'What [is] the guilt-offering which we send back to Him?' and they say, 'The number of the princes of the Philistines — five golden emerods, and five golden mice — for one plague [is] to you all, and to your princes,
Filistiyawa suka ce, “Wace irin hadaya don laifi za mu aika masa?” Suka ce, “Marurai biyar na zinariya da ɓeraye biyar na zinariya bisa ga yawan sarakunan Filistiyawa. Saboda annoba iri ɗaya ce ta buga ku da shugabanninku.
5 and ye have made images of your emerods, and images of your mice that are corrupting the land, and have given honour to the God of Israel; it may be He doth lighten His hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land;
Ku yi siffofin marurai da na ɓeraye da suke hallaka gari, ku ba da girma ga Allah na Isra’ila. Wataƙila zai ɗauke hukuncinsa daga gare ku da allolinku da kuma ƙasarku.
6 and why do ye harden your heart as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? do they not — when He hath rolled Himself upon them — send them away, and they go?
Me ya sa kun taurare kanku kamar yadda Masarawa da Fir’auna suka yi? Da ya ba su matsanancin wahala, ba su bar Isra’ilawa suka tafi hanyarsu ba?
7 'And now, take and make one new cart, and two suckling kine, on which a yoke hath not gone up, and ye have bound the kine in the cart, and caused their young ones to turn back from after them to the house,
“Yanzu fa ku shirya sabon keken shanu da shanu biyu masu ba wa’ya’yansu nono, waɗanda ba a taɓa sa musu karkiya ba. Ku daure keken shanu wa shanun, amma ku tsare’yan maruƙansu a gida.
8 and ye have taken the ark of Jehovah, and put it on the cart, and the vessels of gold which ye have returned to Him — a guilt-offering — ye put in a coffer on its side, and have sent it away, and it hath gone;
Ku ɗauki wani akwati ku sa siffofin zinariyan nan a ciki, waɗanda za su zama kyautai na shafen laifi, ku ajiye kusa da Akwati na UBANGIJI. Bayan haka sai ku sa keken shanun da akwatin a hanya, ku bar shi yă tafi.
9 and ye have seen, if the way of its own border it goeth up to Beth-Shemesh — He hath done to us this great evil; and if not, then we have known that His hand hath not come against us; an accident it hath been to us.'
Amma ku zuba ido ku ga in ya haura zuwa yankinsa, zuwa Bet-Shemesh, to, Ubangiji ne ya kawo mana babban masifar a kanmu. Amma in bai bi ta nan ba, za mu san cewa ba shi ne ya buge mu ba, tsautsayi ne kawai.”
10 And the men do so, and take two suckling kine, and bind them in the cart, and their young ones they have shut up in the house;
Suka yi haka. Suka ɗauki shanun tatsa guda biyu suka ɗaura musu keken shanu, suka tsare’yan maruƙansu a gida.
11 and they place the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer, and the golden mice, and the images of their emerods.
Suka aza akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji a bisa keken shanun tare da akwatin siffofin ɓerayen zinariya da siffofin maruran.
12 And the kine go straight in the way, on the way to Beth-Shemesh, in one highway they have gone, going and lowing, and have not turned aside right or left; and the princes of the Philistines are going after them unto the border of Beth-Shemesh.
Sai shanun suka miƙe zuwa Bet-Shemesh. Suka bi hanya daidai, ba su juya dama ko hagu ba. Shugabannin Filistiyawa suka bi har zuwa iyakar ƙasar Bet-Shemesh.
13 And the Beth-Shemeshites are reaping their wheat-harvest in the valley, and they lift up their eyes, and see the ark, and rejoice to see [it].
A lokacin kuwa mutanen Bet-Shemesh suna girbin alkamansu a kwari da suka ɗaga ido suka hangi akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, sai suka yi farin ciki ganinsa.
14 And the cart hath come in unto the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite, and standeth there, and there [is] a great stone, and they cleave the wood of the cart, and the kine they have caused to ascend — a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
Keken shanun ya zo filin Yoshuwa a Bet-Shemesh ya tsaya a gefen wani babban dutse. Mutanen suka faskare keken shanun suka miƙa shanun hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Ubangiji.
15 And the Levites have taken down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer which [is] with it, in which [are] the vessels of gold, and place [them] on the great stone; and the men of Beth-Shemesh have caused to ascend burnt-offerings and sacrifice sacrifices in that day to Jehovah;
Lawiyawa suka saukar da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji tare da babban akwati mai siffofin zinariya na ɓeraye da marurai suka ajiye su a kan ƙaton dutse. A wannan rana mutanen Bet-Shemesh suka miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa da waɗansu hadayu ga Ubangiji.
16 and the five princes of the Philistines have seen [it], and turn back [to] Ekron, on that day.
Shugabanni biyar na Filistiyawan nan suka ga duk abin da ya faru, suka koma zuwa Ekron a ranar.
17 And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines have sent back — a guilt-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
Waɗannan su ne siffofi marurai na zinariya waɗanda Filistiyawa suka aika domin miƙa hadaya don laifi ga Ubangiji, ɗaya domin Ashdod, ɗaya domin Gaza, ɗaya domin Ashkelon, ɗaya domin Gat, ɗaya kuma domin Ekron.
18 and the golden mice — the number of all the cities of the Philistines — for the five princes, from the fenced city even unto the hamlet of the villages, even unto the great meadow on which they placed the ark of Jehovah — [are] unto this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite.
Filistiyawa kuma suka aika da siffofin ɓeraye biyar na zinariya. Yawan ɓerayen sun yi daidai da yawan garuruwan sarakunan nan biyar na Filistiyawa. Garuruwan sun ƙunshi waɗanda aka gina katangar birni kewaye da su, da kuma ƙauyukansu. Babban dutsen da suka ajiye akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, ya zama shaida har wa yau a filin Yoshuwa a Bet-Shemesh.
19 And He smiteth among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they looked into the ark of Jehovah, yea, He smiteth among the people seventy men — fifty chief men; and the people mourn, because Jehovah smote among the people — a great smiting.
Amma Allah ya kashe waɗansu mutum saba’in na mutanen Bet-Shemesh domin sun leƙa cikin akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Mutane kuwa suka yi makoki domin Ubangiji ya hallaka mutane da yawa.
20 And the men of Beth-Shemesh say, 'Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and unto whom doth He go up from us?'
Mutanen Bet-Shemesh suka yi tambaya suka ce, wa zai iya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji Allah Mai Tsarki? Wurin wa akwatin alkawari zai je daga nan?
21 And they send messengers unto the inhabitants of Kirjath-Jearim, saying, 'The Philistines have sent back the ark of Jehovah; come down, take it up unto you.'
Sai suka aiki manzanni zuwa Kiriyat Yeyarim suka ce, “Filistiyawa sun komo da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, ku zo ku ɗauka ku kai wajenku.”
