< Sie Samuel 6 >

1 Tukun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan yurin mwet Philistia ke lusen malem itkosr,
Now the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines for 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?”
Then the Philistine people called for the priests and the diviners; they said to them, “What should we do with the ark of Yahweh? Tell us how we should send it back to its own country.”
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.”
The priests and diviners said, “If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without a gift; by all means send him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted off of you until now.”
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.
Then they said, “What should the guilt offering be that we are returning to him?” They replied, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, five being the number that is the same as the number of the rulers of the Philistines. For the same plague afflicted you and your rulers.
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.
So you must make models of your tumors, and models of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you, 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 should you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? That was when the God of Israel dealt severely with them; did not the Egyptians send away the people, and they left?
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 then, prepare a new cart with two nursing cows that have never been yoked. Tie the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them.
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.
Then take the ark of Yahweh and place it in the cart. Put the golden figures that you are returning to him as a guilt offering into a box to one side of it. Then send it off and let it go its own way.
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.”
Then watch; if it goes up on the way to its own land to Beth Shemesh, then it is Yahweh who has executed this great disaster. But if not, then we will know that it is not his hand that afflicted us; instead, we will know that it happened to us 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.
The men did as they were told; they took two nursing cows, tied them to the cart, and confined 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.
They put the ark of Yahweh on the cart, together with a box containing the golden mice and the castings of their tumors.
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.
The cows went straight in the direction of Beth Shemesh. They went along one highway, lowing as they went, and they did not turn aside either to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.
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 people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley. When they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, they rejoiced.
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.
The cart came into the field of Joshua from the town of Beth Shemesh and stopped there. A great stone was there, and they split the wood from the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
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.
The Levites took down the ark of Yahweh and the box that was with it, where the golden figures were, and put them on the great stone. The men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to Yahweh.
16 Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos liye ma mwet inge oru ah, na elos folok nu Ekron in len sacna.
When the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they returned that day to Ekron.
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.
These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to Yahweh—one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, and one for Ekron.
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.
The golden mice were the same in number as the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five rulers, both fortified cities and country villages. The great stone, beside which they set down the ark of Yahweh, remains a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
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.
Yahweh attacked some of the men of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of Yahweh. He killed 50,070 men. The people mourned, because Yahweh had given the people a great blow.
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?”
The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? To whom will the ark 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.”
They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the ark of Yahweh; come down and take it back with you.”
