< Sie Samuel 6 >

1 Tukun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan yurin mwet Philistia ke lusen malem itkosr,
Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months.
2 mwet uh pangoneni mwet tol lalos ac mwet inutnut lalos ac siyuk selos, “Mea kut ac oru ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD? Kut ac fin supwala nu in acn se na pwaye uh, mea enenu kut in sang in wela?”
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place? And they said:
3 Mwet inge topuk ac fahk, “Kowos ac fin supwala Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel, kowos enenu in oasr mwe lung in wi, ma in sang moli ma koluk lowos. Kowos tia ku in folokunla ac wangin mwe lung wi. Fin oasr mwe lung wi som, kowos ac fah kwela liki mas lowos an, ac kowos ac fah etu lah efu ku El akkeokye kowos na.”
If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you.
4 Na mwet uh siyuk, “Mwe lung fuka kut ac fah sang nu sel?” Ac elos topuk, “Ipin gold limekosr in oana luman mahlap, oayapa ipin gold limekosr in oana luman kisrik in pot, kais sie nu sin tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia, mweyen kain mwe lokoalok sefanna pa supweyuk nu fowos nukewa ac oayapa nu fin tokosra lowos.
They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered:
5 Kowos enenu in oru ma sruloala ke mahlap, ac ma sruloala ke kisrik in pot su kunausla facl suwos an, ac kowos enenu in akfulatye God lun Israel. Sahp El ac fah tia sifil akkeokye kowos ku god lowos ac facl suwos an.
According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
6 Efu ku kowos in akupaye insiowos oana mwet Egypt ac tokosra we ah? Esam lah God El tuh akfohsyalos nwe ke na elos fuhlela tuh mwet Israel in ku in som liki acn we.
Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed?
7 Ke ma inge, kowos akoo soko wagon sasu ac lukwa cow mutan su soenna pula srenenu, ac kaprelosi nu ke wagon uh, a folokunla cow fusr natultal nu ke acn lun cow uh.
Now therefore take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
8 Eis Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac filiya fin wagon uh, ac filiya sie box srisrik sisken Tuptup sac, ac nwakla ke ma sruloala gold su kowos sang tuh in moli ma koluk lowos an. Na patokak wagon an ac lela in sifacna yuwot.
And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box, at the side thereof: and send it away that it may go.
9 Ac kowos in lohang nu ke wagon soko an lah ac fahsr nu oya. Fin fahsr nu layen nu Beth Shemesh, na kalem lah pwaye God lun Israel pa oru mwe keok inge nu sesr. A fin tia fahsr nu we, na kut etu lah tia El pa oru ma inge — ma na sifacna sikyak se.”
And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance.
10 Mwet uh oru oana ma fwack nu selos. Elos eis cow lukwa, kapriya nu ke wagon, ac kaliya cow fusr natultal ke nien muta laltal.
They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had suckling calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
11 Ac elos filiya Tuptup in Wuleang nu fin wagon uh, wi box srisrik neinyen ma sruloala ke kisrik in pot gold ac ma sruloala ke mahlap gold.
And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice and the likeness of the emerods.
12 Ac cow lukwa fahsr suwoslana nu Beth Shemesh ac tiana kuhfla liki innek uh. Ke eltal fahsr eltal wowo ke pusracltal. Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos fahsr tukun cow inge nwe ke na sun masrol nu Beth Shemesh.
And the kine took the straight way that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames.
13 Mwet Beth Shemesh elos oru kosrani lalos in ima in wheat lalos infahlfal uh. Ke elos ngetak elos liye Tuptup in Wuleang, na elos arulana enganak ke ma elos liye.
Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14 Wagon soko ah tuku nwe sun ima se su ma lal Joshua, su sie mwet Beth Shemesh, na tui inse inge sisken eot lulap se. Mwet uh elos kunausya wagon soko ah, ac uniya cow lukwa, ac kisakin tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
And the cart came into the field of Josue a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord.
15 Mwet Levi elos eisla Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, ac box srisrik se su oan siska ma nein ma sruloala gold, ac filiya fin eot lulap sac. Ac mwet Beth Shemesh elos kisakin mwe kisa firir ac kisakin mwe sang nu sin LEUM GOD in len sac.
And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord.
16 Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos liye ma mwet inge oru ah, na elos folok nu Ekron in len sacna.
And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day.
17 Mwet Philistia elos supwala ma sruloala ke mahlap gold limekosr nu sin LEUM GOD tuh in mwe lung in sang moli ma koluk lalos, kais sie ke siti limekosr inge: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, ac Ekron.
And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for sin to the Lord: For Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one:
18 Elos supwala pac kisrik in pot gold, fal nu ke pisen siti lun Philistia su kolyuk sin tokosra limekosr inge. Kutu siti uh oasr pot fulat raunela, ac kutu siti uh srik, wangin pot we. Eot lulap se su oan in ima lal Joshua, mwet Beth Shemesh sac, su elos tuh filiya Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD fac, eot se inge srakna oasr we nwe misenge, mwe akpwaye.
And the golden mice according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite.
19 LEUM GOD El uniya mwet itngoul sin mwet Beth Shemesh inge ke sripen elos ngetang nu luin Tuptup in Wuleang. Ac mwet uh mwemelil ke sripen LEUM GOD El oru ma na upa se inge.
But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord: and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
20 Ke ma inge mwet Beth Shemesh elos fahk, “Su ku in tu ye mutun LEUM GOD, God mutal se inge? Kut ac fah supwalla nu oya tuh Elan som liki kut?”
And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Ac elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yurin mwet Kiriath Jearim ac fahk, “Mwet Philistia elos folokonma Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD. Kowos fahsru ac usot.”
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you.
