1 Samoela 6
1 Tan-tane’ o nte-Pilistio fito volañe ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà.
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
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 called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his 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 all of you send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any way return him a trespass offering: then all of you shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from 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.
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 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.
Wherefore all of you shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that ruin the land; and all of you shall give glory unto the God of Israel: possibly he will 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?
Wherefore then do all of you 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 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.
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milk giving cattle, on which there has come no yoke, and tie the cattle to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
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 take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which all of you return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
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 see, if it goes up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that stroke us: it was a chance that 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 men did so; and took two milk giving cattle, and tied them to the cart, 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 laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
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 cattle took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, 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 unto the border of Bethshemesh.
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 they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see 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 cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the cattle a burnt offering unto 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 took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
16 Ie nahaisake izay i talen-te-Pilisty limey le nimpoly mb’e Akrone mb’eo amy àndroy.
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same 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 emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron 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, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remains unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
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 he stroke the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he stroke of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
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 Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he 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 sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come all of you down, and fetch it up to you.
