1 Samyèl 6
1 Alò, lach SENYÈ a te nan peyi Filisten yo pandan sèt mwa.
And the ark of Jehovah was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 Konsa, Filisten yo te rele prèt yo avèk divinò yo, e te di yo: “Kisa pou nou fè avèk lach SENYÈ a? Di nou kijan nou dwe voye li nan plas li.”
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah? tell us wherewith we shall send it to its place.
3 Yo te di: “Si ou voye lach Bondye Israël la ale, pa voye li vid, men ou va anverite, remèt Li yon ofrann koupab. Konsa nou va geri e li va vin konprann poukisa men L poko retire sou nou.”
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; ye must at any rate 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.
4 Yo te reponn: “Kisa nou dwe voye kòm ofrann koupab pou remèt Li a?” Epi yo te di: “Senk imaj boul bouton fèt an lò avèk senk imaj sourit fèt an lò nan non prens Filisten yo. Paske se te yon sèl fleyo ki te vini sou nou tout ak sou prens nou yo.
Then they said, What is the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden hemorrhoids, and five golden mice, the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague is upon them all, and upon your lords.
5 Konsa nou va fè yo sanblab a boul bouton nou yo, e sanblab a sourit ki anvayi peyi nou an, epi nou va bay glwa a Bondye Israël la. Petèt Li kab lache men l sou nou.
And ye shall make images of your hemorrhoids, and images of your mice that destroy the land, and 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.
6 Poukisa nou fè kè di tankou Ejipsyen yo avèk Farawon te fè kè yo di a? Lè li te fin aji sevèman avèk yo, èske li pa t kite pèp la ale e yo te ale?
And why will ye harden your heart, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? When he had wrought mightily among them, did they not let them go, and they departed?
7 “Pou sa, ale fè yon kabwèt nèf avèk de vach nouris ki pa t janm rale chaj. Fè vach yo rale chaj sou kabwèt la e retire ti bèf yo mennen yo lakay, lwen yo.
And now make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there has come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
8 Pran lach SENYÈ a e mete li sou kabwèt la, epi mete bagay an lò ke nou ap retounen bay kòm ofrann koupab la nan yon bwat akote li. Alò, voye li ale pou li kapab ale.
and take the ark of Jehovah, and lay it upon the cart, and the golden jewels, which ye return him as a trespass-offering, put in the coffer by the side thereof; and send it away that it may go.
9 Veye, si li monte pa chemen Béth-Schémesch. Konsa n a konnen se Li menm ki fè nou gwo malè sila a. Men si se pa konsa; alò, nou va konnen ke se pa men Li menm ki te frape nou an, men sa te vin rive pa aza.”
And see, if it go up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, it is he who has done us this great evil; if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that touched us; it was a chance [that] happened to us.
10 Se konsa mesye yo te fè. Yo te pran de vach nouris, yo te fè yo rale chaj nan kabwèt la e te fèmen ti bèf yo lakay.
And the men did so, and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
11 Yo te mete lach SENYÈ a sou kabwèt la e bwat la avèk sourit an lò ak imaj gwo boul bouton yo.
And they laid the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer with the golden mice and the images of their sores.
12 Epi vach yo te pran wout dwat nan direksyon Beth-Schémesch. Yo te fè wout nan gran chemen an. Yo te rele fò pandan yo nan wout la, e yo pa t vire akote ni adwat, ni agoch. Prens Filisten yo te swiv yo jis rive nan lizyè Beth-Schémesch la.
And the kine went straight forward on the way to Beth-shemesh; they went by the one high way, lowing as they went; and they turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.
13 Alò, Beth-Schémesch t ap fè rekòlt ble pa yo nan vale a. Yo te leve zye yo, yo te wè lach la, e yo te kontan wè li.
And [they of] Beth-shemesh were reaping the wheat-harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14 Kabwèt la te vini nan chan Josué a, moun Beth-Schémech, e li te kanpe la kote ki te gen yon gwo wòch. Konsa, yo te fann bwa kabwèt la e yo te ofri vach yo kòm ofrann brile a SENYÈ a.
And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite, and stood there; and a great stone was there. And they clave the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine as a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
15 Levit yo te desann lach SENYÈ a ak bwat ki te avèk li a. Andedan te gen tout bagay an lò yo e yo te mete yo sou gwo wòch la. Epi mesye Beth-Schémech yo te ofri ofrann brile e yo te fè sakrifis nan jou sa a bay SENYÈ a.
And the Levites took down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer that was with it, in which were the golden jewels, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered up burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to Jehovah.
16 Lè senk prens Filisten yo te fin wè li, yo te retounen Ékron menm jou a.
And the five lords of the Philistines saw [it], and returned to Ekron the same day.
17 Sa yo se imaj gwo boul bouton an lò ke Filisten yo te remèt kòm yon ofrann koupab bay SENYÈ a: youn pou Asdod, youn pou Gaza, youn pou Askalon, youn pou Gath e youn pou Ékron;
And these are the golden sores which the Philistines returned as a trespass-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gazah one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 anplis ak sourit an lò yo, selon kantite a tout vil Filisten ki te pou senk prens yo, vil fòtifye yo ak bouk andeyò yo. Gwo wòch kote yo te mete lach SENYÈ a se yon temwen jis rive jodi a nan chan Josué a, moun Beth-Schémech la.
and the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and villages of the peasantry; [and they brought them] as far as the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of Jehovah, [which] is to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite.
19 Li te frape e fè mouri kèk mesye Beth-Schémech akoz yo te gade anndan lach SENYÈ a. Li te frape pami tout pèp la, senkant-mil-swasann-dis òm e pèp la te vin dezole akoz SENYÈ a te frape yo avèk yon gwo masak.
And he smote among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, and smote of the people seventy men; and the people lamented, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
20 Mesye Beth-Schémech yo te di: “Se kilès ki kab kanpe devan SENYÈ Bondye sen sila a? Epi a kilès pou Li ta monte kite nou?”
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Konsa, yo te voye mesaje yo vè moun Kirjath-Jearim yo e te di: “Filisten yo te pote lach SENYÈ a retounen. Vin desann pran li monte kote nou an.”
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of Jehovah; come down, fetch it up to you.
