1 Saamuʼeel 6
1 Taabonni Waaqayyoos Filisxeem keessa jiʼa torba ture.
And the Ark of YHWH is in the field of the Philistines [for] 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 call for priests and for diviners, saying, “What do we do to the Ark of YHWH? Let us know with what we 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 say, “If you are sending the Ark of the God of Israel away, you do not send it away empty; for you certainly send back a guilt-offering to Him; then you are healed, and it has been known to you why His hand does not turn aside 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.
And they say, “What [is] the guilt-offering which we send back to Him?” And they say, “The number of the princes of the Philistines—five golden lumps, and five golden muroids—for one plague [is] to you all, and to your princes,
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 you have made images of your lumps, and images of your muroids that are corrupting the land, and have given glory to the God of Israel; it may be [that] He lightens 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 do you harden your heart as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? Do they not—when He has rolled Himself on them—send them away, and they go?
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, take and make one new cart, and two suckling cows, on which a yoke has not gone up, and you have bound the cows in the cart, and caused their young ones to turn back from after them to the house,
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 you have taken the Ark of YHWH, and put it on the cart, and the vessels of gold which you have returned to Him—a guilt-offering—you put in a coffer on its side, and have sent it away, and it has gone;
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 you have seen if it goes up the way of its own border, to Beth-Shemesh—He has done this great evil to us; and if not, then we have known that His hand has not come against us; it has been an accident to us.”
10 Isaanis akkasuma godhan. Saawwan lamaan fuudhanii gaariitti camadan; jabboota isaanii manatti deebisanii itti cufan.
And the men do so, and take two suckling cows, and bind them in the cart, and they shut up their young ones in the house;
11 Isaanis taabota Waaqayyoo sana gaariitti feʼan. Sanduuqa hantuuta warqeetii fi fakkii iitoo baatu sanas isa wajjin feʼan.
and they place the Ark of YHWH on the cart, and the coffer, and the golden muroids, and the images of their lumps.
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 cows go straight in the way, on the way to Beth-Shemesh, they have gone in one highway, going and lowing, and have not turned aside right or left; and the princes of the Philistines are going after them to 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 the Beth-Shemeshites are reaping their wheat-harvest in the valley, and they lift up their eyes, and see the Ark, and rejoice 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 has come into the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite, and stands there, and there [is] a great stone, and they cleave the wood of the cart, and they have caused the cows to ascend [as] a burnt-offering to YHWH.
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 have taken down the Ark of YHWH, and the coffer which [is] with it, in which [are] the vessels of gold, and place [them] on the great stone; and the men of Beth-Shemesh have caused burnt-offerings to ascend and sacrifice sacrifices in that day to YHWH;
16 Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaa shanan erga waan kana hunda arganii booddee gaafuma sana Eqroonitti deebiʼan.
and the five princes of the Philistines have seen [it], and return [to] Ekron, on that 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 lumps which the Philistines have sent back—a guilt-offering to YHWH: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;
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 muroids—the number of all the cities of the Philistines, for the five princes, from the fortified city even to a village of the open place, and to the great stone [[or great meadow]] on which they placed the Ark of YHWH—[are] in the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite to this day.
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 strikes among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they looked into the Ark of YHWH, indeed, He strikes seventy men [out] of fifty thousand men [[or fifty thousand and seventy men]] among the people; and the people mourn, because YHWH struck among the people [with] a great striking.
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 say, “Who is able to stand before YHWH, this holy God? And to whom does 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 send messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have sent back the Ark of YHWH; come down, take it up with you.”
