1 Samuel 6
1 So the Arke of the Lord was in the countrey of the Philistims seuen moneths.
Bwat Kontra Seyè a te gen tan pase sèt mwa nan peyi Filisti a.
2 And the Philistims called the priests and the soothsayers, saying, What shall we doe with the Arke of the Lord? tell vs wherewith we shall send it home againe.
Moun Filisti yo fè rele prèt yo ak divinò yo. Yo mande yo: -Kisa pou n' fè ak Bwat Kontra Seyè a? Ki jan pou n' fè pou n' voye l' tounen nan plas li?
3 And they sayd, If you send away the Arke of the God of Israel, send it not away emptie, but giue vnto it a sinne offering: then shall ye be healed, and it shall be knowen to you, why his hand departeth not from you.
Yo reponn: -Si n'ap voye Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la tounen, nou pa ka voye l' konsa san anyen. Se pou nou voye kichòy ki va sèvi pou peye pou sa nou fè a. Si nou fè l' konsa, nou tout n'a geri, epi n'a konnen poukisa li t'ap plede frape nou konsa.
4 Then sayd they, What shalbe the sinne offring, which we shall giue vnto it? And they answered, Fiue golden emerods and fiue golden mise, according to the number of the princes of the Philistims: for one plague was on you all, and on your princes.
Pèp la mande yo: -Ki kalite bagay pou nou bay ki va sèvi pou peye pou sa nou fè a? Yo di yo: -Senk bouton lò ak senk sourit an lò, yonn pou chak chèf moun Filisti yo, paske se menm maladi a ki te tonbe ni sou nou ni sou senk chèf nou yo.
5 Wherefore ye shall make the similitudes of your emerods, and the similitudes of your mise that destroy the land: so ye shall giue glory vnto the God of Israel, that he may take his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
N'a fè bouton lò yo pou yo sanble ak bouton ki te leve sou nou yo. Konsa tou, n'a fè senk sourit an lò pòtre ak sourit k'ap plede ravaje peyi a. Epi n'a rekonèt Bondye pèp Izrayèl la se yon Bondye ki gen pouvwa. Lè sa a, nou kwè l'a sispann frape nou, nou menm, bondye nou yo ak peyi nou an.
6 Wherefore then should ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let them goe, and they departed?
Poukisa pou n'ap fè tèt di tankou farawon an ak moun peyi Lejip yo? Eske lè Bondye te konmanse manyen ak yo, yo pa t' kite moun yo al fè wout yo?
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on whome there hath come no yoke: and tye the kine to the cart, and bring the calues home from them.
Nou pral pare yon kabwa tou nèf ak de manman bèf ki gen pitit dèyè yo epi ki pa janm sèvi pou fè ankenn travay anvan sa. N'a mare yo nan kabwa a, men n'a fè ti bèf dèyè manman yo tounen lakay.
8 Then take the Arke of the Lord, and set it vpon the cart, and put the iewels of gold which ye giue it for a sinne offering in a coffer by the side thereof, and send it away, that it may go.
N'a pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a, n'a mete l' sou kabwa a. N'a pran sa n'ap bay pou sèvi pou peye pou sa nou fè a, n'a mete yo nan yon ti bwat sou kote l'. N'a mete kabwa a sou wout la, n'a kite l' ale pou kont li.
9 And take heede, if it goe vp by the way of his owne coast to Beth-shemesh, it is he that did vs this great euill: but if not, we shall know then, that it is not his hand that smote vs, but it was a chance that happened vs.
N'a rete ap gade l' ale. Si nou wè l' pran chemen moute lavil Bèt-Chemèch, n'a konnen se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te voye tout malè sa yo sou nou. Men si li pran yon lòt wout, lè sa a n'a konnen malè sa yo pa t' soti nan li. Se te devenn pa nou.
10 And the men did so: for they tooke two kine that gaue milke, and tied them to the cart, and shut the calues at home.
Moun yo fè sa yo te di yo fè a. Yo pran de manman bèf ki te gen pitit dèyè yo, yo mare yo nan kabwa a, men yo kenbe ti bèf ki te dèyè manman yo lakay.
11 So they set the Arke of the Lord vpon the cart, and the coffer with the mise of golde, and with the similitudes of their emerods.
Yo mete Bwat Kontra a sou kabwa a ansanm ak ti bwat ki te gen ti sourit an lò yo ak pòtre bouton yo.
12 And the kine went the streight way to Beth-shemesh, and kept one path and lowed as they went, and turned neither to the right hand nor to the left: also the Princes of the Philistims went after them, vnto the borders of Beth-shemesh.
Bèf yo pran wout lavil Bèt-Chemèch dirèk dirèk. Y' al tou dwat devan yo. Sou tout wout la bèf yo t'ap rele. Senk chèf moun Filisti yo t'ap mache dèyè yo jouk yo rive sou baliz lavil Bèt-Chemèch.
13 Nowe they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheate haruest in the valley, and they lift vp their eyes, and spied the Arke, and reioyced when they sawe it.
Moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo t'ap ranmase ble nan plenn lan. Lè yo leve je yo, yo wè Bwat Kontra a, yo pran rele sitèlman yo te kontan.
14 And the cart came into the fielde of Ioshua a Beth-shemite, and stood still there. There was also a great stone, and they claue the wood of the cart, and offered the kine for a burnt offring vnto the Lord.
Kabwa a rive nan jaden Jozye a nan peyi Bèt-Chemèch epi li rete. Te gen yon gwo wòch bò la. Moun yo demoute kabwa a, yo fann tout bwa yo, yo touye bèf yo, epi yo boule yo nèt pou Seyè a.
15 And the Leuites tooke downe the Arke of the Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the iewels of golde were, and put them on the great stone, and the men of Beth-shemesh offred burnt offring, and sacrificed sacrifices that same day vnto the Lord.
Apre sa, moun Levi yo desann Bwat Kontra Seyè a ansanm ak ti bwat ki te gen bagay an lò yo. Yo mete yo sou gwo wòch la. Jou sa a, moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo ofri lòt bèt tou pou boule nèt nan dife ansanm ak lòt ofrann pou Seyè a.
16 And when the fiue Princes of ye Philistims had seene it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Lè senk chèf moun Filisti yo wè sa, yo tounen lavil Ekwon menm jou a.
17 So these are the golden emerods, which the Philistims gaue for a sinne offering to the Lord: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, and for Ekron one,
Moun Filisti yo te voye senk bouton lò bay Seyè a pou sa te sèvi pou peye pou sa yo te fè a: yonn pou Asdòd, yonn pou Gaza, yonn pou Achkalon, yonn pou Gat, yonn pou Ekwon.
18 And golden mise, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistims, belonging to the fiue princes, both of walled townes, and of townes vnwalled, vnto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set the Arke of the Lord: which stone remaineth vnto this day in the fielde of Ioshua the Beth-shemite.
Yo te voye senk ti sourit fèt an lò tou, yonn pou chak lavil kote chèf moun Filisti yo t'ap kòmande, kit se lavil ki gen ranpa, kit se lavil ki pa gen ranpa. Gwo wòch kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra Seyè a nan mitan jaden Jozye a, bò lavil Bèt-Chemèch la, kanpe la jouk koulye a, tankou yon mak pou fè chonje sak te rive lè sa a.
19 And hee smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked in the Arke of the Lord: he slew euen among the people fiftie thousand men and three score and ten men. and the people lamented, because the Lord had slaine the people with so great a slaughter.
Apre sa, Seyè a te touye kèk moun nan moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo paske yo t' al voye je yo wè sa ki anndan Bwat Kontra a. Li touye swasanndis ladan yo. Pèp la te nan gwo lapenn, paske Seyè a te fè gwo malè sa a sou yo.
20 Wherefore the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall he go from vs?
Lè sa a, moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo di: -Ki moun ki ka kanpe devan Seyè a, Bondye sa a ki yon Bondye apa? Ki bò pou n' voye Bwat Kontra a ale pou l' pa rete lakay nou?
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitans of Kiriath-iearim, saying, The Philistims haue brought againe the Arke of the Lord: come ye downe and take it vp to you.
Yo pran kèk mesaje, yo voye yo ale bò kote moun lavil Kiriyat-Jearim, yo di yo konsa: -Moun Filisti yo voye Bwat Kontra Seyè a tounen. Vin pran l' mennen lakay nou.
