1 N ow the ark of the Lord had been in the country of the Philistines seven months.

Oo sanduuqii Rabbiguna wuxuu waddankii reer Falastiin yiil toddoba bilood.

2 A nd the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord ? Tell us how we shall send it to its place.”

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.

3 T hey said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but you shall surely return to Him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.”

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.

4 T hen they said, “What shall be the guilt offering which we shall return to Him?” And they said, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for one plague was on all of you and on your lords.

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.

5 S o you shall make likenesses of your tumors and likenesses of your mice that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will ease His hand from you, your gods, and your land.

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.

6 W hy then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He had severely dealt with them, did they not allow the people to go, and they departed?

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?

7 N ow therefore, take and prepare a new cart and two milch cows on which there has never been a yoke; and hitch the cows to the cart and take their calves home, away from them.

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;

8 T ake the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart; and put the articles of gold which you return to Him as a guilt offering in a box by its side. Then send it away that it may go.

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.

9 W atch, if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth-shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance.”

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.

10 T hen the men did so, and took two milch cows and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

Oo dadkiina sidii bay yeeleen, oo waxay soo wateen laba sac oo irmaan, oo waxay ku xidheen gaadhigii, oo weylahoodiina waxay ku xereeyeen guriga;

11 T hey put the ark of the Lord on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the likenesses of their tumors.

oo sanduuqii Rabbiga iyo sanduuqii ay ku jireen jiirarkii dahabka ahaa iyo taswiirtii kasoobaxyada waxay saareen gaadhigii.

12 A nd the cows took the straight way in the direction of Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Beth-shemesh.

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.

13 N ow the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they raised their eyes and saw the ark and were glad to see it.

Oo kuwii reer Beytshemeshna waxay dooxada ka goosanayeen sarreenkoodii; oo intay indhahoodii kor u qaadeen ayay arkeen sanduuqii, oo way ku reyreeyeen inay arkaan.

14 T he cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite and stood there where there was a large stone; and they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord.

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.

15 T he Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the box that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices that day to the Lord.

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.

16 W hen the five lords of the Philistines saw it, they returned to Ekron that day.

Oo shantii madaxda ahayd oo reer Falastiinna markay arkeen ayay isla maalintaas Ceqroon ku noqdeen.

17 T hese are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to the Lord: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

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;

18 a nd the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages. The large stone on which they set the ark of the Lord is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.

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.

19 H e struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the Lord. He struck down of all the people, 50, 070 men, and the people mourned because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.

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.

20 T he men of Beth-shemesh said, “ Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God? And to whom shall He go up from us?”

Markaasaa dadkii Beytshemesh waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal yaa awooda inuu hor istaago Rabbiga ah Ilaahan quduuska ah? Oo bal yuu nooga tegayaa?

21 S o they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord; come down and take it up to you.”

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.
