Samuu'Eel Kowaad 6
1 Oo sanduuqii Rabbiguna wuxuu waddankii reer Falastiin yiil toddoba bilood.
After the Ark of the Lord had been in the country of the Philistines for seven months,
2 Markaas reer Falastiin waxay u yeedheen wadaaddadii iyo kuwii wax sheegi jiray, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sanduuqa Rabbiga maxaannu ku samaynaa? Bal noo sheega waxaannu ugu dirno meeshiisii.
the Philistines summoned the priests and fortune-tellers, and asked, “What should we do with the Ark of the Lord? Explain to us how to send it back to where it came from.”
3 Kolkaasay iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Haddaad diraysaan sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, isagoo madhan ha dirina; laakiinse si walba qurbaan xadgudub u celiya; oo dabadeedna waad bogsan doontaan, oo waxaad ogaan doontaan sababta gacantiisu idinkaga dhaqaaqi weyday.
“If you're going to send back the Ark of the God of Israel, do not send it back empty-handedly, but make sure to send along with it a gift of a guilt offering to him,” they replied. “Then you will be healed, and you will understand why he has treated you like this.”
4 Oo markaasay yidhaahdeen, Qurbaanka xadgudubka ee aannu u celin doonaa muxuu noqon doonaa? Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Madaxda reer Falastiin inta tiradoodu tahay oo dhammu ha bixiyeen shan kasoobax oo dahab ah, iyo shan jiir oo dahab ah; waayo, idinka iyo madaxdiinnaba isku belaayaa idinku wada dhacday.
“What kind of guilt offering should we send back to him?” asked the Philistines. “Five gold objects in the shape of the swellings, and five gold rats representing the number of rulers of the Philistines,” they replied. “The same plague attacked both you and your rulers.
5 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waa inaad samaysaan kasoobaxyadiinnii taswiirtooda, iyo jiirarkii dalkiinna kharribay taswiirtood; oo waa inaad ammaantaan Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil; waayo, waxaa suurtowda inuu gacantiisa idinka qaado, idinka, iyo ilaahyadiinna, iyo dalkiinnaba.
Make models to represent your swellings and the rats destroying the country, and honor the God of Israel. Perhaps he will stop punishing you, your gods, and your land.
6 Haddaba maxaad qalbiyadiinna ugu adkaynaysaan sidii Masriyiintii iyo Fircoon qalbiyadooda u adkeeyeen oo kale? Oo markii uu cajaa'ibka weyn dhexdooda ku sameeyey, miyaanay dadkii sii dayn inay tagaan oo miyaanay ambabbixin?
Why be stubborn like the Egyptians and Pharaoh? When he punished them, didn't they send the Israelites on their way as they left?
7 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed qaata oo diyaariya gaadhi cusub, iyo laba sac oo irmaan ee aan weligood harqood la saarin, oo sacaha gaadhiga ku xidha, weylahoodana ka soo celiya oo guriga keena;
So get a new cart ready, pulled by two milk cows that have never been yoked. Tie the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and put them in a stall.
8 markaas qaada sanduuqa Rabbiga oo saara gaadhiga, oo dahabka aad ugu celinaysaan qurbaankii xadgudubka aawadiisna intaad sanduuq ku riddaan dhinaciisa saara, oo markaas iska dira ha tagee.
Pick up the Ark of the Lord, put it on the cart, and place the gold objects you are sending him as a guilt offering in a chest beside it. Then send the Ark away. Let it go whichever way it wants,
9 Oo bal eega, haddii uu aado xagga xuduudkiisa iyo ilaa Beytshemesh, de markaas isagaa xumaantan weyn inagu sameeyey; haddii kalese waxaannu ogaanaynaa inaanay gacantiisii ahayn waxa ina laayay, ee uu ahaa wax iskaga keen dhacay.
but keep watching it. If it goes up the road to its home country, to Beth-shemesh, then it is the Lord who caused all this terrible trouble for us. But if it doesn't, then we'll know that it wasn't him who punished us—it just happened to us by chance.”
10 Oo dadkiina sidii bay yeeleen, oo waxay soo wateen laba sac oo irmaan, oo waxay ku xidheen gaadhigii, oo weylahoodiina waxay ku xereeyeen guriga;
So that's what the people did. They took two milk cows and tied them to the cart, and kept their calves in a stall.
11 oo sanduuqii Rabbiga iyo sanduuqii ay ku jireen jiirarkii dahabka ahaa iyo taswiirtii kasoobaxyada waxay saareen gaadhigii.
They put the Ark of the Lord on the cart, together with the chest containing the gold rats and models of their swellings.
12 Sacihiina waxay qaadeen jidkii toosnaa oo Beytshemesh, oo waxay tageen xagga jidkii weynaa iyagoo sii bunaaxinaya intii ay sii socdeen, oo midig iyo bidix toona uma ay leexan, oo madaxdii reer Falastiinna way daba socdeen ilaa soohdintii Beytshemesh.
The cows went straight up the road to Beth-shemesh, lowing as they went, going directly on the main road and not turning either left or right. The Philistine rulers followed them all the way to the border of Beth-shemesh.
13 Oo kuwii reer Beytshemeshna waxay dooxada ka goosanayeen sarreenkoodii; oo intay indhahoodii kor u qaadeen ayay arkeen sanduuqii, oo way ku reyreeyeen inay arkaan.
The people of Beth-shemesh were reaping wheat in the valley. When they looked up and saw the Ark, they were so happy to see it.
14 Oo gaadhigiina wuxuu soo galay beertii Yashuuca kii reer Beytshemesh, oo wuxuu istaagay meel dhagax weynu ku yiil; oo intay qoryihii gaadhiga jeexjeexeen ayay sacihiina Rabbiga ugu bixiyeen qurbaan la gubo aawadiis.
The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh, and stopped there beside a large rock. The people cut up the cart for wood and sacrificed the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord.
15 Markaasay kuwii reer Laawi soo dejiyeen sanduuqii Rabbiga, iyo sanduuqii isaga la jirayba ee alaabta dahabka ahu ku jirtay, oo waxay kor saareen dhagaxii weynaa; oo isla maalintaas ayaa dadkii reer Beytshemesh Rabbiga u bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo iyo allabaryo.
The Levites took down the Ark of the Lord and the chest containing the gold objects, and put them on the large rock. The people of Beth-shemesh presented burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the Lord that day.
16 Oo shantii madaxda ahayd oo reer Falastiinna markay arkeen ayay isla maalintaas Ceqroon ku noqdeen.
The five Philistine rulers saw all that happened this and then went back to Ekron the same day.
17 Oo kuwanu waa kasoobaxyadii dahabka ahaa ee reer Falastiin Rabbiga ugu celiyeen qurbaan xadgudub aawadiis; Ashdood aawadeed mid baa loo celiyey, Gaasa aawadeedna mid, Ashqeloon aawadeedna mid, Gad aawadeedna mid, Ceqroon aawadeedna mid;
The five gold models of swellings sent by the Philistines as a guilt offering to the Lord were from the rulers of Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron.
18 oo jiirarkii dahabka ahaana waxay tiro le'ekaayeen magaalooyinkii reer Falastiin oo shantii madaxda ahayd lahaayeen oo dhan, oo waa laga wada bixiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa iyo tuulooyinkii duurka ku yiilba iyo ilaa xataa dhagaxii weynaa ee ay dul saareen sanduuqii Rabbiga, kaasoo xataa ilaa maantadan la joogo dhex yaal beertii Yashuuca kii reer Beytshemesh.
The gold rats represented the number of Philistine towns of the five rulers—the fortified towns and their surrounding villages. The large rock on which they placed the Ark of the Lord still stands to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh as a witness to what happened there.
19 Oo isna wuu laayay dadkii Beytshemesh, maxaa yeelay, waxay dhugteen sanduuqii Rabbiga gudihiisa, oo wuxuu dadkii ka laayay konton kun iyo toddobaatan nin, oo dadkiina way baroorteen, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu laayay dad aad u badan.
But God killed some of the people of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the Ark of the Lord. He killed seventy, and the people mourned deeply because the Lord had killed so many.
20 Markaasaa dadkii Beytshemesh waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal yaa awooda inuu hor istaago Rabbiga ah Ilaahan quduuska ah? Oo bal yuu nooga tegayaa?
The people of Beth-shemesh asked, “Who can stand before the Lord, this holy God? Where should the Ark go from here?”
21 Oo waxay wargeeysyo u direen dadkii degganaa Qiryad Yecaariim, oo waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Reer Falastiin haddana way soo celiyeen sanduuqii Rabbiga, haddaba idinku kaalaya oo qaata.
They sent messengers to the people of Kiriath-jearim to say, “The Philistines have returned the Ark of the Lord. Come down and take it home with you.”
