1 Samuel 6
1 Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months.
Ita, pito a bulan nga adda iti pagilian dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place? And they said:
Ket pinaayaban dagiti Filisteo dagiti papadi ken dagiti mammadles; kinunada kadakuada, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenmi iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh? Ibagayo kadakami no kasano ti panangisublimi iti daytoy iti bukodna a pagilian.”
3 If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you.
Kinuna dagiti papadi ken dagiti mammadles, “No isubliyo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel, saanyo nga ipatulod daytoy a saan a mapakuyogan iti sagut; masapul a pakuyoganyo daytoy iti daton a pangsupapak iti basol. Ket umimbagkayonto, ket maammoanyonto no apay a pagsagsagabaennakayo agingga ita.”
4 They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered:
Ket kinunada, “Ania ti umno a daton a pangsupapak iti basol nga ipakuyogmi iti isublimi kenkuana?” Insungbatda, “Lima a balitok a sinan-letteg ken lima a balitok a sinan-marabutit, lima a kas iti bilang dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo. Ta isu met laeng a didigra ti nangparigat kadakayo ken kadagiti mangidadauloyo.
5 According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
Isu a masapul a mangaramidkayo kadagiti sinan-letteg, ken sinan-marabutit a mangdaddadael iti daga, ken padayawanyo ti Dios ti Israel. Mabalin nga isardengnan ti panangdusdusana kadakayo, kadagiti diosyo, ken iti dagayo.
6 Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed?
Apay a patangkenenyo dagiti pusoyo, a kas iti panangpatangken dagiti taga-Egipto ken ti Faraon kadagiti pusoda? Dayta ket idi dinusa ida ti Dios ti Israel iti nakaro; saan kadi a pinalubosan dagiti taga-Egipto dagiti tattao, ket pimmanawda?
7 Now therefore take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Ita ngarud, mangisaganakayo iti baro a kariton nga addaan iti dua nga agpaspasuso a baka, a saan pay pulos a naipako. Ipakoyo dagiti baka iti kariton, ngem iyawidyo dagiti urbonda, adayo manipud kadakuada.
8 And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box, at the side thereof: and send it away that it may go.
Ket alaenyo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh ket ikabilyo daytoy iti kariton. Iti abayna, ikabilyo ti kahon a pangikabilanyo kadagiti nahorma a balitok a banbanag nga ipakuyogyo iti isubliyo kenkuana a kas daton a pangsupapak iti basolyo. Ket bay-anyo ida a mapan nga is-isuda.
9 And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance.
Kalpasanna siputanyo daytoy; no sumang-at daytoy iti dalan nga agturong idiay Bet-semes a bukodna a daga, ni Yahweh ngarud ti nangyeg iti daytoy a dakkel a didigra. Ngem no saan, maammoantayo ngarud a saan a ti imana ti nangparigat kadatayo; ngem ketdi, maammoantayo a nairana laeng a napasamak kadatayo daytoy.”
10 They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had suckling calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Inaramid dagiti tattao ti naibaga kadakuada; nangalada iti dua nga agpaspasuso a baka ket impakoda dagitoy iti kariton, ket impupokda dagiti urbonda iti balay.
11 And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice and the likeness of the emerods.
Inkabilda ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh iti kariton, agraman ti kahon a naglaon iti balitok a sinan-marabutit ken sinan-letteg.
12 And the kine took the straight way that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames.
Nagturong dagiti baka iti agpa-Betsemes. Nagnada iti maymaysa a dalan, agem-emmakda bayat a mapmapanda, ket saanda a simmiasi iti makannawan wenno iti makannigid. Sinurot ida dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo agingga idiay beddeng ti Betsemes.
13 Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
Ita, agan-ani dagiti tattao iti Betsemes kadagiti trigoda idiay tanap. Idi kimmitada, nakitada ti lakasa ti tulag ket nagrag-oda.
14 And the cart came into the field of Josue a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord.
Dimteng ti kariton iti talon ni Josue manipud iti ili ti Betsemes ket nagsardeng sadiay. Adda dakkel a bato sadiay, ket binalsigda ti kariton, ket indatonda dagiti baka a kas daton a mapuoran para kenni Yahweh.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord.
Imbaba dagiti Levita ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh ken ti kahon nga adda iti daytoy, a nakaikargaan dagiti nahorma a balitok a banbanag, ket inkabilda dagitoy iti dakkel a bato. Nangidatag dagiti tattao iti Betsemes kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken nangidatonda kenni Yahweh iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw.
16 And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day.
Idi nakita daytoy dagiti lima a mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo, nagsublida idiay Ekron iti dayta nga aldaw.
17 And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for sin to the Lord: For Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one:
Dagitoy dagiti balitok a sinan-letteg nga impakuyog dagiti Filisteo iti isublida para iti daton a pangsupapak iti basol kenni Yahweh; maysa para iti Asdod, maysa para iti Gaza, maysa iti Askelon, maysa iti Gat, ken maysa para iti Ekron.
18 And the golden mice according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite.
Naipada ti bilang dagiti balitok a sinan-marabutit iti bilang dagiti amin a siudad dagiti Filisteo a kukua dagiti lima a mangidadaulo, dagiti natalged a siudad ken dagiti barbario iti dayta a pagilian. Ti dakkel a bato, iti igid a nangikabilanda iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh, ket nagtalinaed a saksi agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw iti talon ni Josue a taga-Betsemes.
19 But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord: and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
Dinusa ni Yahweh dagiti sumagmamano kadagiti tattao iti Betsemes gapu ta kimmitada iti uneg ti lakasa ti tulagna. Pinatayna ti pitopulo a tattao. Nagladingit dagiti tattao, gapu ta dinusa ni Yahweh dagiti tattao iti nakaro.
20 And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
Kinuna dagiti tattao iti Betsemes, “Siasino ti makabael a tumakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, daytoy a nasantoan a Dios? Ket siasino ti papananna manipud kadatayo?”” Siasino ti makabael a tumakder iti sangoanan ti Apo, daytoy a nasantoan a Dios? Ken siasino ti papanan ti lakasa ti tulag manipud ditoy?”
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you.
Nangibaonda kadagiti mensahero kadagiti agnanaed idiay Kiryat-Jearim a kunkunada, “Insubli dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh; sumalogkayo ket alaenyo daytoy.”
