1 Samoela 6
1 Tan-tane’ o nte-Pilistio fito volañe ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà.
And the ark was seven months in the country of the Philistines, and their land brought forth swarms of mice.
2 Le kinanji’ o nte-Pilistio o mpisoroñeo naho o mpisikilio, ami’ty hoe: Hataon-tika akore i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày? itaroño te akore ty hañitrifa’ay aze mb’an-toe’e mb’eo.
And the Philistines call their priests, and their prophets, and their enchanters, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord? teach us wherewith we shall send it away to its place.
3 Hoe iereo: Aa naho ahitri’ areo mb’eo i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey, ko ampandenàñe mb’eo kapaike; fe ampolio rekets’ engan-kakeo; le ho jangañe nahareo, vaho ho fohi’ areo ty foto’ ty tsy nampipitsohañe ama’ areo i fità’ey.
And they said, If you send away the ark of the covenant of the Lord God of Israel, do not on any account send it away empty, but by all means render to it an offering for the plague; and then shall you be healed, and an atonement shall be made for you: should not his hand be [thus] stayed from off you?
4 Aa le hoe iereo: Ino o engan-kakeo hampolieñe ama’eo? Le hoe iereo: Fibokalirañe volamena lime, naho kotika volamena lime ty ami’ty ia’ o talèn-te-Pilistio; fa angorosy raike ty tama’ areo iaby naho amo talè’ areoo.
And they say, What [is] the offering for the plague [which] we shall return to it? and they said,
5 Aa le tseneo an-tsare ty fibokaliran’ akobo’areo, sareo ka o kotika’ areo mijoy i taneio; vaho toloro engeñe t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; hera hamaivañe’e ama’ areo naho amo ‘ndrahare’ areoo, naho an-tane’ areo ty fità’e.
According to the number of the lords of the Philistines, five golden tumours, for the plague was on you, and on your rulers, and on the people; and golden mice, the likeness of the mice that destroy your land: and you shall give glory to the Lord, that he may lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
6 Ino arè ty ampigàñe’ areo arofo, manahake ty nanjira’ o nte-Mitsraimeo naho i Parò arofo? Ie nanilofe’e, tsy navotso’ iareo hao ondatio hiavotse mb’eo?
And why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? [was it] not [so] when he mocked them, [that] they let the people go, and they departed?
7 Ie amy zao, mandrambesa le ihentseño sarete vao, naho añombe rene’e roe mb’e tsy ninday joka, rohizo amy saretey i añombe-rene’e rey, vaho adono an-jolok’ ao o ana’eo.
And now take wood and make a new wagon, and take two cows, that have calved for the first time, without their calves; and do you yoke the cows to the wagon, and lead away the calves from behind them home.
8 Rambeso am’ izao i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày le ajoño amy saretey. Le apoho an-karoñe añ’ila’e ao o bange volamena mivike ama’e ho engan-kakeoo; vaho iraho handena’e mb’eo.
And you shall take the ark and put it on the wagon; and you shall restore to it the golden articles for the trespass-offering in a coffer by the side of it: and you shall let it go, and sent it away, and you shall depart.
9 Isaho amy zao, ke homb’an-tane’e mb’e Bete’semese mb’eo, le ie ty nametsake i hankàñey aman-tika; fe naho tsie, le ho fohi’ areo te tsy i fità’ey ty nanjevoñe antika, fa nisendre-draha.
And you shall see, if it shall go the way of its coasts along by Baethsamys, he has brought upon us this great affliction; and if not, then shall we know that his hand has not touched us, but this [is a] chance [which] has happened to us.
10 Aa le nanoe’ ondatio; rinambe’ iereo ty añombe mampinono roe, naho rinohi’ iareo an-tsarete, vaho narindriñ’ an-jolok’ ao o ana’eo;
And the Philistines did so; and they took two cows that had calved for the first time, and yoked them to the waggon, and shut up their calves at home.
11 le najo’ iareo an-tsarete ao i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày, naho i hàroñe rekets’ i kotika volamena rey naho o sarem-pibokalira’ iareoo.
And they set the ark of the Lord, and the coffer, and the golden mice, on the waggon.
12 Nivantañe’ o añombeo ty lalañe migodamb’e Bete-semese mb’eo; nitrakotrako amy damokey nihòñe avao, le tsy nitsile mb’am-pitan-kavana ndra mb’ankavia, vaho nañorike iareo pak’ añ’efe-tane’ i Bete-semese mb’eo o talè nte-Pilistio.
And the cows went straight on the way to the way of Baethsamys, they went along one track; and laboured, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after it as far as the coasts of Baethsamys.
13 Nanatake vare-bolè am-bavatane ey o nte-Bete-semeseo; aa ie nampiandra-pihaino naho nahaisake i vatam-pañinay, le nirebeke t’ie nioniñe.
And the men of Baethsamys were reaping the wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark of the Lord, and rejoiced to meet it.
14 Aa le niheo mb’an-tete’ Iehosoa nte-Bete-semese mb’eo i saretey naho nitsangañe marine ty vato jabajaba eo; natsafe’ iareo ty hatae i saretey vaho nengae’ iareo an-tsoroñe am’ Iehovà i añombe rene’e rey.
And the waggon entered into the field of Osee, which was in Baethsamys, and they set there by it a great stone; and they split the wood of the waggon, and offered up the cows for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
15 Nazotso’ o nte-Levio i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày, rekets’ i hàroñe ninday o bange volamenaoy, naho napò’ iereo ambone’ i vato jabajabay eo; naho nañenga horoañe vaho nandroroke vaho nisoroñe am’ Iehovà ondaty nte-Bete-semeseo amy andro zay.
And the Levites brought up the ark of the Lord, and the coffer with it, and the golden articles upon it, and placed them on the great stone, and the men of Baethsamys offered whole burnt offerings and meat offerings on that day to the Lord.
16 Ie nahaisake izay i talen-te-Pilisty limey le nimpoly mb’e Akrone mb’eo amy àndroy.
And the five lords of the Philistines saw, and returned to Ascalon in that day.
17 Zao o fibokaliran’ akobo volamena nabali’ o nte-Pilistio ho engan-kakeo amy Iehovào: a i Asdode t’y raike, a i Aza ty a i Askelone le ty a i Gate vaho ty a i Ekrone;
And these [are] the golden tumours which the lords of the Philistines gave as a trespass-offering to the Lord; for Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one.
18 mira ami’ty ia’ o rovan-talè nte-Pilisty lime reio i kotìka volamena rey; mpiama’ iareo o rova aman-kijolio naho o kialoo. Valolombeloñe henanekeo i vato jabajaba nampipoha’ iareo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày. Le lia’e an-tonda’ Iehosoa nte-Bete-semese eo re pake henaneo.
And the golden mice according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, belonging to the five lords, from the fenced city to the village of the Pherezite, and to the great stone, on which they placed the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that was in the field of Osee the Baethsamysite.
19 Linihin’ Añahare ty ila’ o nte-Bete-semeseo amy te nisamba i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày. Ondaty lime ale tsi-fitompolo ty zinama’e. Aa le nandala’ ondatio ty hamafem-panjevoña’ Iehovà iareo.
And the sons of Jechonias were not pleased with the men of Baethsamys, because they saw the ark of the Lord; and [the Lord] struck amongst them seventy men, and fifty thousand men: and the people mourned, because the Lord had inflicted on the people, a very great plague.
20 Le hoe ondaty nte-Bete-semeseo, Ia ty hahafijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare masiñe? Vaho homb’ am’ondati’ ia izay te mienga anay?
And the men of Baethsamys said, Who shall be able to pass before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall the ark of the Lord go up from us?
21 Aa le nampihitrife’ iereo amo mpimoneñe e Kiriate Iearimeo ty hoe: Fa nampolie’ o nte-Pilistio ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà. Mb’atoy nahareo hinday aze moly mb’ama’ areo añe.
And they send messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, go down and take it home to yourselves.
