Samuu'Eel Kowaad 6
1 Oo sanduuqii Rabbiguna wuxuu waddankii reer Falastiin yiil toddoba bilood.
Now the ark of Yahweh was 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.
Then the Philistine people called for the priests and the diviners; they said to them, “What should we do with the ark of Yahweh? Tell us how we should send it back to its own country.”
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.
The priests and diviners said, “If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without a gift; by all means send him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted off of you until now.”
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.
Then they said, “What should the guilt offering be that we are returning to him?” They replied, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, five being the number that is the same as the number of the rulers of the Philistines. For the same plague afflicted 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.
So you must make models of your tumors, and models of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you, from your gods, and from 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 should you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? That was when the God of Israel dealt severely with them; did not the Egyptians send away the people, and 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;
Now then, prepare a new cart with two nursing cows that have never been yoked. Tie the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them.
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.
Then take the ark of Yahweh and place it in the cart. Put the golden figures that you are returning to him as a guilt offering into a box to one side of it. Then send it off and let it go its own way.
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.
Then watch; if it goes up on the way to its own land to Beth Shemesh, then it is Yahweh who has executed this great disaster. But if not, then we will know that it is not his hand that afflicted us; instead, we will know that it 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;
The men did as they were told; they took two nursing cows, tied them to the cart, and confined their calves at home.
11 oo sanduuqii Rabbiga iyo sanduuqii ay ku jireen jiirarkii dahabka ahaa iyo taswiirtii kasoobaxyada waxay saareen gaadhigii.
They put the ark of Yahweh on the cart, together with a box containing the golden mice and the castings of their tumors.
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 in the direction of Beth Shemesh. They went along one highway, lowing as they went, and they did not turn aside either to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed after them 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.
Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley. When they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, they rejoiced.
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 from the town of Beth Shemesh and stopped there. A great stone was there, and they split the wood from the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh and the box that was with it, where the golden figures were, and put them on the great stone. The men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to Yahweh.
16 Oo shantii madaxda ahayd oo reer Falastiinna markay arkeen ayay isla maalintaas Ceqroon ku noqdeen.
When the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they returned that day to Ekron.
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;
These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to Yahweh—one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, and one for 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 golden mice were the same in number as the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five rulers, both fortified cities and country villages. The great stone, beside which they set down the ark of Yahweh, remains a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
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.
Yahweh attacked some of the men of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of Yahweh. He killed 50,070 men. The people mourned, because Yahweh had given the people a great blow.
20 Markaasaa dadkii Beytshemesh waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal yaa awooda inuu hor istaago Rabbiga ah Ilaahan quduuska ah? Oo bal yuu nooga tegayaa?
The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? To whom will the ark go up from us?”
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 inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the ark of Yahweh; come down and take it back with you.”
