1 Samoela 6
1 Tan-tane’ o nte-Pilistio fito volañe ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà.
The LORD’s ark 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.
The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the LORD’s ark? Show us how we should send it 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.
They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will 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 they said, “What should the trespass offering be which we shall return to him?” They said, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, for 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.
Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from 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?
Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, didn’t 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.
“Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart and two milk cows on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows 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 LORD’s ark and lay it on the cart. Put the jewels of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; 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.
Behold, if it goes up by the way of its own border to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck 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;
The men did so, and took two milk cows 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.
They put the LORD’s ark on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors.
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.
The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh. They went along the highway, lowing as they went, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border 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.
The people 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 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.
The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there, where there was a great stone. Then they split the wood of the cart and offered up the cows for a 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.
The Levites took down the LORD’s ark and the box that was with it, in which 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 to the LORD.
16 Ie nahaisake izay i talen-te-Pilisty limey le nimpoly mb’e Akrone mb’eo amy àndroy.
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;
These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD: 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, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages, even to the great stone on which they set down the LORD’s ark. That stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua 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.
He struck of the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the LORD’s ark, he struck fifty thousand seventy of the men. Then the people mourned, because the LORD had struck 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?
The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? 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.
They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the LORD’s ark. Come down and bring it up to yourselves.”
