1 Saamuʼeel 6
1 Taabonni Waaqayyoos Filisxeem keessa jiʼa torba ture.
And the ark of Jehovah was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 Filisxeemonnis lubootaa fi ilaaltota waamanii, “Taabota Waaqayyoo maal haa goonu? Iddoo isaatti haala akkamiitiin akka deebifnu nutti himaa” jedhaniin.
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah? tell us wherewith we shall send it to its place.
3 Isaanis deebisanii, “Yoo taabota Waaqa Israaʼel deebiftan, kennaa yakkaa wajjin malee duwwaa isaa hin deebisinaa; ergasii isin ni fayyitu; harki isaas maaliif akka isin irraa hin kaafamin ni beektu” jedhaniin.
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; ye must at any rate 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 Filisxeemonnis, “Kennaan yakkaa kan nu erginuuf maal taʼuu qaba?” jedhanii gaafatan. Isaanis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Sababii dhaʼichi isinii fi bulchitoota keessan rukute tokkuma taʼeef akkuma baayʼina bulchitoota Filisxeemotaatti dhiitoo warqee shananii fi hantuuta warqee shan ergaa.
Then they said, What is the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden hemorrhoids, and five golden mice, the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague is upon them all, and upon your lords.
5 Fakkii dhiitoo fi fakkii hantuutaa kanneen biyya balleessaa jiranii hojjedhaa; Waaqa Israaʼeliif immoo ulfina kennaa. Yoos inni harka isaa isin irraa, waaqota keessanii fi biyya keessan irraa ni kaasa taʼa.
And ye shall make images of your hemorrhoids, and images of your mice that destroy the land, and give glory to the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
6 Isin maaliif akka namoota Gibxiitii fi akka Faraʼoon mataa jabeeyyii taatu? Yeroo Waaqayyo adaba cimaadhaan isaan adabetti, isaan akka Israaʼeloonni gara barbaadan deemaniif hin eeyyamneefii?
And why will ye harden your heart, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? When he had wrought mightily among them, did they not let them go, and they departed?
7 “Kanaafuu gaarii haaraa fi saawwan hoosisan kan waanjoon takkumaa irra hin kaaʼamin lama qopheessaa. Saawwan sanas gaarii sanatti camadaa; jabboota isaanii garuu gara manaatti biraa deebisaatii itti cufaa.
And now make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there has come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
8 Taabota Waaqayyoo sanas fuudhaatii gaarii irra kaaʼaa; miʼa warqee aarsaa yakkaatiif ergitan sanas sanduuqa taabota Waaqayyoo bira jiru keessa kaaʼaa. Akka inni karaa barbaade deemuufis gad dhiisaa;
and take the ark of Jehovah, and lay it upon the cart, and the golden jewels, which ye return him as a trespass-offering, put in the coffer by the side thereof; and send it away that it may go.
9 garuu ija isa irraa hin buqqifatinaa. Yoo inni gara biyya isaa gara Beet Shemeshitti qajeele rakkina guddaa kana Waaqayyotu nutti fide. Yoo gara sanatti qajeeluu baate garuu dhaʼichi kun akkuma tasaa nutti dhufe malee Waaqayyo nutti hin fidne.”
And see, if it go up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, it is he who has done us this great evil; if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that touched us; it was a chance [that] happened to us.
10 Isaanis akkasuma godhan. Saawwan lamaan fuudhanii gaariitti camadan; jabboota isaanii manatti deebisanii itti cufan.
And the men did so, and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
11 Isaanis taabota Waaqayyoo sana gaariitti feʼan. Sanduuqa hantuuta warqeetii fi fakkii iitoo baatu sanas isa wajjin feʼan.
And they laid the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer with the golden mice and the images of their sores.
12 Saawwan sunis karaa qabatanii utuu bitaa mirgatti hin gorin marʼachaa gara Beet Shemeshitti qajeelan. Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaas hamma daarii Beet Shemeshitti isaan faana buʼan.
And the kine went straight forward on the way to Beth-shemesh; they went by the one high way, lowing as they went; and they turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.
13 Yeroo sanattis namoonni Beet Shemeshi sulula keessaa qamadii haamaa turan; isaanis yommuu ol jedhanii taabota sana arganitti akka malee gammadan.
And [they of] Beth-shemesh were reaping the wheat-harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14 Gaariin sunis lafa qotiisaa Iyyaasuu nama Beet Shemeshi bira gaʼee kattaa guddaa tokko cina dhaabate. Namoonnis muka gaarii sanaa falaxanii saawwan sana aarsaa gubamu godhanii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan.
And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite, and stood there; and a great stone was there. And they clave the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine as a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
15 Warri Lewwotaas taabota Waaqayyoo sanduuqicha miʼa warqee baatu sana wajjin gad buusanii kattaa guddaa irra kaaʼan; gaafuma sanas namoonni Beet Shemeshi aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan.
And the Levites took down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer that was with it, in which were the golden jewels, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered up burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to Jehovah.
16 Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaa shanan erga waan kana hunda arganii booddee gaafuma sana Eqroonitti deebiʼan.
And the five lords of the Philistines saw [it], and returned to Ekron the same day.
17 Iiti warqee kan Filisxeemonni aarsaa yakkaa godhanii Waaqayyoof ergan kanaa dha; isaanis tokko Ashdoodiif, tokko Gaazaaf, tokko Eqrooniif, tokko Gaatiif, tokko immoo Ashqalooniif ergan.
And these are the golden sores which the Philistines returned as a trespass-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gazah one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 Baayʼinni hantuutota warqees akkuma baayʼina magaalaawwan Filisxeemotaa kanneen bulchitoota shananiif kennamaniitti ture. Magaalaawwan dallaa jajjaboo qaban kunneenis gandoota of jalaa qabu ture. Kattaan guddichi isaan taabota Waaqayyoo isa irra kaaʼan sunis lafa qotiisaa Iyyaasuu namicha Beet Shemeshi keessatti hamma harʼaatti dhugaa baatuu dha.
and the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and villages of the peasantry; [and they brought them] as far as the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of Jehovah, [which] is to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite.
19 Waaqnis sababii isaan taabota Waaqayyoo keessa ilaalaniif namoota Beet Shemeshi dhaʼee isaan keessaa nama torbaatama ajjeese. Sababii Waaqayyo akka malee isaan dhaʼeef namoonni sun ni booʼan;
And he smote among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, and smote of the people seventy men; and the people lamented, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
20 namoonni Beet Shemeshis, “Eenyutu fuula Waaqayyoo, fuula Waaqa qulqulluu kanaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa? Taabonni kun asii baʼee eenyu bira haa dhaqu?” jedhanii gaafatan.
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Ergasii gara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimitti ergamoota erganii, “Filisxeemonni taabota Waaqayyoo deebisaniiru; gad kottaatii taabota sana gara keessanitti fudhadhaa” jedhaniin.
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of Jehovah; come down, fetch it up to you.
