1 O o sanduuqii Rabbiguna wuxuu waddankii reer Falastiin yiil toddoba bilood.

The special box of the Lord had been in the country of the Philistines seven months.

2 M arkaas 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 called for the religious leaders and those who were wise in secret ways, saying, “What should we do with the special box of the Lord? Tell us how we should send it to its place.”

3 K olkaasay 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.

And they said, “If you send away the special box of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But be sure to return to Him a sin gift. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand does not turn away from you.”

4 O o 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 we return to Him for a sin gift?” And they said, “Five sores made of gold and five gold mice, as many as there are Philistine leaders. For the same trouble was upon all of you and on your leaders.

5 H addaba 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 make objects to look like your sores and your mice that destroyed the land, and you will give honor to the God of Israel. It may be that He will be easier on you, your gods, and your land.

6 H addaba 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 do you make your hearts hard as the Egyptians and Pharaoh made their hearts hard? Do not forget how the God of Israel made it hard for them. And did they not let the people go?

7 H addaba 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 now take and make ready a new wagon and two milk cows that have never pulled a load. Tie the cows to the wagon and take their calves away from them.

8 m arkaas 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.

Take the special box of the Lord and put it on the wagon. Put the objects of gold which you return to Him as a sin gift in a box by its side. Then send it away, and let it be gone.

9 O o 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.

And watch. If it goes on the way to its own land, to Bethshemesh, then He has done this very bad thing to us. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that destroyed us. It will have just happened for no reason.”

10 O o 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 so. They took two milk cows and tied them to the wagon, and shut up their calves at home.

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

They put the special box of the Lord on the wagon, and the box with the gold mice and the objects made to look like their sores.

12 S acihiina 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.

And the cows went straight toward Bethshemesh. They went along the straight road, making a sound as they went. They did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the leaders of the Philistines followed them to the outside of Bethshemesh.

13 O o 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 Bethshemesh were gathering their grain in the valley. They looked up and saw the special box of the Lord, and were glad to see it.

14 O o 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 wagon came into the field of Joshua the Bethshemite and stopped there by a big stone. They cut the wood of the wagon into pieces and gave the cows as a burnt gift to the Lord.

15 M arkaasay 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 special box of the Lord and the box that was with it that had the objects of gold, and put them on the big stone. The men of Bethshemesh gave burnt gifts in worship that day to the Lord.

16 O o shantii madaxda ahayd oo reer Falastiinna markay arkeen ayay isla maalintaas Ceqroon ku noqdeen.

When the five leaders of the Philistines saw it, they returned that day to Ekron.

17 O o 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 sores made of gold which the Philistines returned for a sin gift to the Lord. There was one each for Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron.

18 o o 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.

And the gold mice were as many as the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five leaders, both cities with walls and country towns. The big stone where they set the special box of the Lord is there in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite to this day.

19 O o 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.

The Lord killed some of the men of Bethshemesh because they had looked into the special box of the Lord. He killed 70 (50, 070) men. And the people were filled with sorrow because the Lord had killed so many of them. The Special Box at Kiriath-jearim

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

The men of Bethshemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God? To whom can we send Him?”

21 O o 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.

So they sent men to the people living in Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the special box of the Lord. Come down and get it.”
