I Samuel 6
1 Ita, pito a bulan nga adda iti pagilian dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh.
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 Ket pinaayaban dagiti Filisteo dagiti papadi ken dagiti mammadles; kinunada kadakuada, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenmi iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh? Ibagayo kadakami no kasano ti panangisublimi iti daytoy iti bukodna a pagilian.”
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us with what we shall send it to its place.
3 Kinuna dagiti papadi ken dagiti mammadles, “No isubliyo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel, saanyo nga ipatulod daytoy a saan a mapakuyogan iti sagut; masapul a pakuyoganyo daytoy iti daton a pangsupapak iti basol. Ket umimbagkayonto, ket maammoanyonto no apay a pagsagsagabaennakayo agingga ita.”
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass-offering: then ye will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4 Ket kinunada, “Ania ti umno a daton a pangsupapak iti basol nga ipakuyogmi iti isublimi kenkuana?” Insungbatda, “Lima a balitok a sinan-letteg ken lima a balitok a sinan-marabutit, lima a kas iti bilang dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo. Ta isu met laeng a didigra ti nangparigat kadakayo ken kadagiti mangidadauloyo.
Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, 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.
5 Isu a masapul a mangaramidkayo kadagiti sinan-letteg, ken sinan-marabutit a mangdaddadael iti daga, ken padayawanyo ti Dios ti Israel. Mabalin nga isardengnan ti panangdusdusana kadakayo, kadagiti diosyo, ken iti dagayo.
Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory to the God of Israel: it may be he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
6 Apay a patangkenenyo dagiti pusoyo, a kas iti panangpatangken dagiti taga-Egipto ken ti Faraon kadagiti pusoda? Dayta ket idi dinusa ida ti Dios ti Israel iti nakaro; saan kadi a pinalubosan dagiti taga-Egipto dagiti tattao, ket pimmanawda?
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?
7 Ita ngarud, mangisaganakayo iti baro a kariton nga addaan iti dua nga agpaspasuso a baka, a saan pay pulos a naipako. Ipakoyo dagiti baka iti kariton, ngem iyawidyo dagiti urbonda, adayo manipud kadakuada.
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch-cows on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
8 Ket alaenyo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh ket ikabilyo daytoy iti kariton. Iti abayna, ikabilyo ti kahon a pangikabilanyo kadagiti nahorma a balitok a banbanag nga ipakuyogyo iti isubliyo kenkuana a kas daton a pangsupapak iti basolyo. Ket bay-anyo ida a mapan nga is-isuda.
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 coffer by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
9 Kalpasanna siputanyo daytoy; no sumang-at daytoy iti dalan nga agturong idiay Bet-semes a bukodna a daga, ni Yahweh ngarud ti nangyeg iti daytoy a dakkel a didigra. Ngem no saan, maammoantayo ngarud a saan a ti imana ti nangparigat kadatayo; ngem ketdi, maammoantayo a nairana laeng a napasamak kadatayo daytoy.”
And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, [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.
10 Inaramid dagiti tattao ti naibaga kadakuada; nangalada iti dua nga agpaspasuso a baka ket impakoda dagitoy iti kariton, ket impupokda dagiti urbonda iti balay.
And the men did so; and took two milch cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
11 Inkabilda ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh iti kariton, agraman ti kahon a naglaon iti balitok a sinan-marabutit ken sinan-letteg.
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
12 Nagturong dagiti baka iti agpa-Betsemes. Nagnada iti maymaysa a dalan, agem-emmakda bayat a mapmapanda, ket saanda a simmiasi iti makannawan wenno iti makannigid. Sinurot ida dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo agingga idiay beddeng ti Betsemes.
And the cows took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, [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 Beth-shemesh.
13 Ita, agan-ani dagiti tattao iti Betsemes kadagiti trigoda idiay tanap. Idi kimmitada, nakitada ti lakasa ti tulag ket nagrag-oda.
And [they 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].
14 Dimteng ti kariton iti talon ni Josue manipud iti ili ti Betsemes ket nagsardeng sadiay. Adda dakkel a bato sadiay, ket binalsigda ti kariton, ket indatonda dagiti baka a kas daton a mapuoran para kenni Yahweh.
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they cleaved the wood of the cart, and offered the cows a burnt-offering to the LORD.
15 Imbaba dagiti Levita ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh ken ti kahon nga adda iti daytoy, a nakaikargaan dagiti nahorma a balitok a banbanag, ket inkabilda dagitoy iti dakkel a bato. Nangidatag dagiti tattao iti Betsemes kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken nangidatonda kenni Yahweh iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw.
And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that [was] with it, in which [were] the jewels of gold, 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.
16 Idi nakita daytoy dagiti lima a mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo, nagsublida idiay Ekron iti dayta nga aldaw.
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], they returned to Ekron the same day.
17 Dagitoy dagiti balitok a sinan-letteg nga impakuyog dagiti Filisteo iti isublida para iti daton a pangsupapak iti basol kenni Yahweh; maysa para iti Asdod, maysa para iti Gaza, maysa iti Askelon, maysa iti Gat, ken maysa para iti Ekron.
And these [are] the golden emerods 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;
18 Naipada ti bilang dagiti balitok a sinan-marabutit iti bilang dagiti amin a siudad dagiti Filisteo a kukua dagiti lima a mangidadaulo, dagiti natalged a siudad ken dagiti barbario iti dayta a pagilian. Ti dakkel a bato, iti igid a nangikabilanda iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh, ket nagtalinaed a saksi agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw iti talon ni Josue a taga-Betsemes.
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 Beth-shemite.
19 Dinusa ni Yahweh dagiti sumagmamano kadagiti tattao iti Betsemes gapu ta kimmitada iti uneg ti lakasa ti tulagna. Pinatayna ti pitopulo a tattao. Nagladingit dagiti tattao, gapu ta dinusa ni Yahweh dagiti tattao iti nakaro.
And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, 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.
20 Kinuna dagiti tattao iti Betsemes, “Siasino ti makabael a tumakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, daytoy a nasantoan a Dios? Ket siasino ti papananna manipud kadatayo?”” Siasino ti makabael a tumakder iti sangoanan ti Apo, daytoy a nasantoan a Dios? Ken siasino ti papanan ti lakasa ti tulag manipud ditoy?”
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Nangibaonda kadagiti mensahero kadagiti agnanaed idiay Kiryat-Jearim a kunkunada, “Insubli dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh; sumalogkayo ket alaenyo daytoy.”
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] bring it up to you.
