¹Huan, TOUPA bawm bel Philistia mite gamah kha sagih a oma.

¹And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

²Huan, Philistia miten, TOUPA bawm bang I chih ding ua? a omna ngei maha paisak nawnna dan honhilh dih ve ua, chiin a siampute leh aisansiamte a sam uhi.

²And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.

³Huan, amau, Israelte Pathian bawm na paisak ding uleh leng a vuakin paisak het kei un; a kiangah tatlek kithoihna lan ngeingei un, huchiin hihdam in na om ding uh, huan, bangdinga a khut honsuan sak louh hiam chih na thei ding uh, a chi ua.

³And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

⁴Huchiin amau, A kianga ka tatlekna uh lat ding bang ahi dia? a chi ua. Huan, amau, Philistia hausate zahin dangkaeng jangtan lim nga leh dangkaeng sansim lim nga: na vek ua tunga hi leng leh na hausate uh tunga leng lah khat ahi ngala.

⁴Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.

⁵Huaijiakin na jangtan lim uh leh na gam uh hihsetu sansim limte bawl unla: huan, Israelte Pathian pahtawi un, huchiin a khut na tunguah te, na pathian uleh na gam uh tungah te a jangsak nuam kha ding hi.

⁵Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

⁶Aigupta mite leh Pharoin lungsim a khauhsak bang un bangdia na lungsim uh khauhsak na hi ua? A lak ua thil lamdang pia a hihin mite lah a paisak ua, a pawtkheta uh hilou maw?

⁶Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?

⁷Huaijiakin tuin kangtalai thak sutuah unla, bawngpi nih a nawi suk lai, hakkol po kha ngei nai hetlou toh; huai bawngpite kangtalai ah khih unla, huan, a noute uh in lamah amau akipan honpi un.

⁷Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:

⁸Huan TOUPA bawm la unla, kangtalai ah koih unla; huan, tatlek thoihna dinga na lat uh dangkaeng thil manpha pen singlem ah thunin a sikah koih unla, paisak unla khah mai un.

⁸And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.

⁹Huchiin mahin gamgi lampang lampi tawnin Beth-semes ah a pai hiam en un, a pai leh I tung ua thil hoihlou tak amah hih a nahi dinga; a paikei leh ei hon gawtpa amah khut a nahi kei chih I thei ding ua, I tung ua hongom tei himhim lel ahi ding, a chi uhi.

⁹And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.

¹⁰Huan, miten huchibangin a hih ua: bawngpi a nawi suklai nih a pi ua, kangtalai ah a khih ua, a noute uh bel inlamah a khum ua;

¹⁰And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:

¹¹Huan, TOUPA bawm kangtalai ah a koih ua, dangkaeng sansim limleh jangtan lim koihna singlem toh.

¹¹And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

¹²Huan, bawngpite Beth-semes lam juanin lampi a jui vengveng ua; huchiin ham kawmkawm in lampipen a jui ua, taklam ah hiam, veilam ah hiam a pial het kei ua; huan, Philistia hausaten Beth-semes gamgi phain a jui uh.

¹²And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.

¹³Huan, Beth-semes khua miten guam ah a buh uh a nala ua, a dak tou ua, bawm a mu ua, a kipak mahmah uhi.

¹³And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

¹⁴Huan, kangtalai Beth-semes khuaa mi Joshua lou ah a honglut a, suangpi lian mahmah omna takah a dingta a; huan, kangtalai sing a ek ua, TOUPA biakna dingin bawngpite halmang thillat dingin a zangta uhi.

¹⁴And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.

¹⁵Huan, Levi chiten TOUPA bawm dangkaeng thil manpha omna singlem toh a lakhia ua, suangpi tungah a koih uh: huan, Beth-semes khuaa miten huai ni mahin halmang thillatte leh kithoihnate TOUPA kiangah a lan ua.

¹⁵And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.

¹⁶Huan, huai Philistia hausa ngaten a muh khitnung un, huai ni mahmahin Ekron kho lamah a pai nawnta uhi.

¹⁶And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

¹⁷Philistia miten dangkaeng zangtan lim TOUPA kianga tatlek thoihna dinga a lat uh hichi zah ahi; Asdod kho tuam dingin khat, Gaza kho tuam dingin khat, Askelon kho tuam dingin khat, Gath kho tuam dingin khat, Ekron kho tuam dingin khat:

¹⁷And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;

¹⁸Huan, dangkaeng sansim lim bel khua tengteng kulh nei khua leh singtang lam khua leng sim veka hausa ngatea Philistia mite khozah ahi: TOUPA bawm a ngakna suangpi mahmah uh Beth-semes khuaa mi Josua lou ah tu tanin a om nilouh lai hi.

¹⁸And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.

¹⁹Huan, Toupa bawm sung a et jiak un Beth-semes khuaa mite a gawta, a lak uah mi sang nga leh sawmsagih tak a gawt hi: TOUPAN a nak gawt tel jiakin mite a kap uh.

¹⁹And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.

²⁰Beth-semes khua miten, hiai Pathian siangthou TOUPA maah kua a ding theiin I kiang ua kipan kua kiangah ahia a pai touh ding? a chi ua.Huchiin Kiriath-Jearim khuaa mite kiangah, Philistia miten TOUPA bawm a hongkoih nawn ua, hong suk unla na kianglam uah la tou dih ua, chia hilh dingin mite a sawlta uhi.

²⁰And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

²¹Huchiin Kiriath-Jearim khuaa mite kiangah, Philistia miten TOUPA bawm a hongkoih nawn ua, hong suk unla na kianglam uah la tou dih ua, chia hilh dingin mite a sawlta uhi.

²¹And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
