- ગુજરાતી — 1 શમુએલ ૬:૩
- તેઓએ કહ્યું, “જો તમે ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વરનો કોશ પાછો મોકલો, તો તેને કશું અર્પણ કર્યા વિના મોકલશો નહિ; નિશ્ચે તેની સાથે દોષાર્થાર્પણ મોકલજો. તો જ તમે સાજા થશો, અને તમને સમજાશે કે તેમનો હાથ અત્યાર સુધી તમારા ઉપરથી કેમ દૂર થયો નથી.”
- हिन्दी — 1 शमूएल ६:३
- वे बोले, “यदि तुम इस्राएल के देवता का सन्दूक वहाँ भेजो, तो उसे वैसे ही न भेजना; उसकी हानि भरने के लिये अवश्य ही दोषबलि देना। तब तुम चंगे हो जाओगे, और तुम जान लोगे कि उसका हाथ तुम पर से क्यों नहीं उठाया गया।”
In context
1The LORD’s ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the LORD’s ark? Show us how we should send it to its place.”
3They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”
4Then they said, “What should the trespass offering be which we shall return to him?” They said, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, for the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
5Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.
