1 Samoela 6
1 Ary ny fiaran’ i Jehovah dia tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina fito volana.
And the ark of YHWH was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 Ary ny Filistina nampaka ny mpisorona sy ny mpanao fankatovana ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hataontsika amin’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah? Lazao aminay izay hanateranay azy ho any amin’ ny fitoerany.
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of YHWH? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
3 Ary hoy ireo: Raha aterinareo ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, aza aterina foana izy, fa manatera fanati-panonerana ho Azy mihitsy, dia ho sitrana ianareo, ary ho fantatrareo koa izay tsy ialan’ ny tànany aminareo.
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the Elohim of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise 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 Dia hoy ny olona: Inona ary no fanati-panonerana haterinay ho Azy? Ary hoy kosa ireo: Vay volamena dimy sy totozy volamena dimy, araka ny isan’ ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina; fa aretina iray ihany no manjo anareo rehetra sy ny andriananareo.
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 rulers of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your rulers.
5 Koa manaova sarin’ ny vainareo sy sarin’ ny totozinareo izay manimba ny tany; ary omeo voninahitra ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; angamba hanamaivana ny tanany hiala aminareo sy ny andriamanitrareo ary ny taninareo Izy.
Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the Elohim of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off yourelohim, and from off your land.
6 Fa nahoana no manamafy ny fonareo ianareo, toy ny nanamafian’ ny Egyptiana sy Farao ny fony? Raha nanao fahagagana namelezany azy Izy, moa tsy nalefany handeha va ny olona, ka dia lasa?
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharoah hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
7 Koa ankehitriny manaova sariety vaovao, ary mangalà ombivavy roa mitaiza, izay tsy mbola nasiana zioga, dia afehezo amin’ ny sariety ny ombivavy, ka ento mody ny zanany hiala aminy.
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
8 Ary alao ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, ka apetraho eo ambonin’ ny sariety, dia ataovy ao anaty vata kely eo anilany ny fanaka volamena haterinareo ho Azy ho fanati-panonerana, ka ampandehano izany.
And take the ark of YHWH, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
9 Ary izahao, ka raha miakatra amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny taniny ihany ho any Beti-semesy izany, dia Jehovah no nahatonga izao loza lehibe izao tamintsika; fa raha tsy izany, dia ho fantatsika fa tsy ny tanany no namely antsika, fa mby amin’ izay hanjo antsika.
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 is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.
10 Dia nataon’ ny olona izany, ka naka ombivavy roa mitaiza izy, dia nafehiny tamin’ ny sariety ireo, fa ny zanany narindriny tao an-trano.
And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
11 Dia napetrany teo ambonin’ ny sariety ny fiaran’ i Jehovah sy ny vata kely ary ny totozy volamena sy ny sarin’ ny vay.
And they laid the ark of YHWH upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
12 Ary ny ombivavy nizotra mahitsy tamin’ ny lalana mankany Beti-semesy, dia nandeha tamin’ ny lalambe ka nimàmà teny am-pandehanana, ary tsy nania, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia, ary ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina nanaraka azy hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Beti-semesy.
And the kine 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 rulers of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
13 Ary ny Beti-semesita nijinja ny vary tritika teny an-dohasaha; ary nanopy ny masony izy ka nahita ny fiara, dia faly raha nahita izany.
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 Ary ny sariety tonga teo an-tanimbarin’ i Josoa Beti-semesita, dia nijanona teo, ary nisy vato lehibe teo; dia namaky ny hazon’ ny sariety ny olona ka nanatitra ny ombivavy ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah.
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto YHWH.
15 Ary ny Levita nampidina ny fiaran’ i Jehovah sy ny vata kely izay teo aminy, dia ilay nitoeran’ ny fanaka volamena, ka nametraka azy teo ambonin’ ny vato lehibe; ary tamin’ izany andro izany ny mponina tao Beti-semesy nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ho an’ i Jehovah.
And the Levites took down the ark of YHWH, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto YHWH.
16 Ary raha hitan’ ireo andriana dimy tamin’ ny Filistina izany, dia niverina nankany Ekrona androtrizay ihany izy.
And when the five rulers of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
17 Ary izao no sary volamenan’ ny vay naterin’ ny Filistina ho fanati-panonerana ho an’ i Jehovah: an’ i Asdoda iray, an’ i Gaza iray, an’ i Askelona iray, an’ i Gata iray, an’ i Ekrona iray;
And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto YHWH; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 ary ny totozy volamena dia araka ny isan’ ny tanàna rehetra an’ ny Filistina, izay an’ ireo andriana dimy, an’ ny tanàna mimanda, na ny vohitra any ivelany, ka hatramin’ ny vato lehibe izay nametrahany ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; ary mbola any an-tanimbarin’ i Josoa Beti-semesita mandraka androany izany.
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five rulers, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of YHWH: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite.
19 Ary Jehovah namely ny mponina tao Beti-semesy noho ny nijerijeren’ ireo ny fiarany, ka dia olona fito-polo amby dimy alina no maty; dia nisaona ny olona, satria nasian’ i Jehovah, ka be dia be no maty.
And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of YHWH, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because YHWH had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
20 Ary hoy ny mponina tao Beti-semesy: Iza no mahajanona eo anoloan’ izao Jehovah Andriamanitra masìna izao? Ary ho amin’ iza no hiakarany, rehefa miala amintsika?
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy YHWH Elohim? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Dia naniraka olona nankany amin’ ny mponina tao Kiriata-jearima izy hanao hoe: Efa naverin’ ny Filistina ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; koa midìna ianareo, dia ento miakatra ho any aminareo izy.
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of YHWH; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
