1 Samoela 6
1 Tan-tane’ o nte-Pilistio fito volañe ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà.
And it came to pass, that the ark of Yahweh 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.
Then called the Philistines for the priests and for the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Yahweh? Let us know, wherewith we shall send it to its own 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 ye are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it away, empty, but ye must, surely return, to him, a guilt-offering, —then, shall ye be healed, and it shall be known to you, wherefore his hand would not turn away 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.
And they said—What shall be the guilt-offering, that we shall return to him? And they said—By the number of the lords of the Philistines, five tumours of gold, and five mice of gold, —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 ye shall make likenesses of your turnouts, and likenesses of your mice that are laying waste the land, and shall, give unto the, God of Israel, glory, —Peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your god, 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, should ye make your heart dull, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh made their heart dull! When he had done his great doings upon them, did they not let them 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, take and get ready, one new waggon, and two milch kine, whereon hath never come yoke, —then shall ye fasten the kine in the waggon, and withdraw their calves from them, into the shed;
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 ye shall take the ark of Yahweh, and place it in the waggon, also, the jewels of gold which ye send back to him as a guilt-offering, shall ye put into a coffer, at the side thereof, —so shall ye let it go, and it 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.
Then shall ye look—if, by the way of its own boundary, it goeth up to Beth-shemesh, he, it was who caused us this great affliction, —but, if not, then shall we know that it was not, his hand, that smote us, a chance, it was, that befell 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;
The men, therefore, did so, and took two milch kine, and fastened them in the waggon, —but, their calves, shut they up in the shed.
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 put the ark of Yahweh, into the waggon, —also the coffer, with the mice of gold, and the likenesses of their tumours.
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 kine went straight along the road, on the way to Beth-shemesh, yea, along the main highway, they went, lowing as they went, turning not aside, to the right hand or to the left. And, the lords of the Philistines, went along after them, as far as the bounds of Beth-shemesh.
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.
Now, they of Beth-shemesh, were reaping their wheat-harvest in the vale, —so they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, 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 Joshua, a man of Beth-shemesh, and stood still, there, where also, was a great stone, —so they clave into pieces the planks of the waggon, and, the kine, offered they up as an ascending-sacrifice, unto Yahweh.
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 Yahweh, and the coffer that was with it, wherein were the jewels of gold, and put them upon the great stone, —and, the men of Beth-shemesh, caused to go up ascending-offerings and offered sacrifices, that day, unto Yahweh.
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 it, —and returned unto 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;
Now, these, are the golden boils which, the Philistines returned as a guilt-offering unto Yahweh, —For Ashdod, one, for Gaza, one, for Ashkelon, 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, by the number of all the cities of the Philistines, pertaining to the five lords, both fortified cities, and country villages, —yea, even the great meadow whereon they rested the ark of Yahweh, until this day, is in the field-land of Joshua, the man of Beth-shemesh.
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, when he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they looked into the ark of Yahweh, yea smote of the people seventy men [and] fifty thousand men, the people mourned, for that Yahweh had smitten the people with a great smiting.
20 Le hoe ondaty nte-Bete-semeseo, Ia ty hahafijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare masiñe? Vaho homb’ am’ondati’ ia izay te mienga anay?
Then said the men of Beth-shemesh, Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? and, unto 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 unto the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, —The Philistines have returned the ark of Yahweh, come down, fetch it up unto you.
