1 Sa:miuele 5

1 Filisidini dunu ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili fedelalu, gaguli Ebenisa sogega amoinini ili moilai sogebi A: siedode moilai bai bagadega gisa asi.

Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.

2 Ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone amo ea debolo diasu ganodini gisa heda: le, ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone loboga hahamoi bugisi bega: amogai dafulili bugisi.

And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

3 Amalu, golale hahabe, A:siedode dunu ilia ba: loba, ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone da muwane sa: ili, Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili mi dududi mi guduli gala: la asi dialebe ba: i. Amalalu ilia da lale, bu hi musa: dialua amogai bugisi.

And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

4 Amalu, bu golale hahabe ba: loba, ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone da bu muwane sa: ili, Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili midududi mi guduli muwane sa: i dialebe ba: i. Waha da gasa bagade, ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone ea dialuma amola ea lobo aduna da elegalu dagale, dogona asili, logo holei gagili dasu amoga dialebe ba: i, be da: i hodo fawane dialebe ba: i.

And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands lay cut off upon the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.

5 (Wali amolawane, ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igonema gobele salasu dunu amola ema fa: no bobogesu A: siedode dunu ilia waha da amola gagili dasu amoga ayale giadofale ahoa.)

Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.

6 Gode da A: siedode fi ilima se dabe iasu amola da: i diosu ili beda: ma: ne bagadewane i. E da A: siedode fi amola ilia sisiga: le esalebe fi ili galu se nabima: ne, momahoi bagade iasi.

But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and He destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the borders thereof.

7 A: siedode dunu ilia da se nabasu amo ilima doaga: i ba: loba, ilia da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili Gode da ninima amola ninia ‘gode’ Da: igonema se dabe iaha. Ninia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili guiwane hame dialoma: mu.”

And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said: 'The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for His hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.'

8 Amaiba: le ilia da Filisidini fi hina bagade dunu biyale amo misa: ne adosisi. Amola ilima amane adole ba: i, “Ninia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amoga adi hamoma: bela: ?” Ilia amane sia: i, “Amo Isala: ili Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo Ga: de moilai bai bagadega gisa masa.” Amalalu, ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili, amo Ga: de moilai bai bagadega gisa asi.

They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said: 'What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?' And they answered: 'Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath.' And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.

9 Be amo Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da doaga: le, Gode da Ga: de moilai bai bagade soge amoga se nabasu bagadedafa i. Amaiba: le momahoi amola bagade heda: le, goi dunu amola asigilai dunu, gilisili defele momadelai.

And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great discomfiture; and He smote the men of the city, both small and great, and emerods broke out upon them.

10 Amaiba: le ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili eno Filisidini moilai bai bagade amo Egelone, amoga gisa asi, be amo Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da Egolonega amoi doaga: loba, dunu ilia da bagadewane udugia: dusa: i, “Ilia da nini bogogia: ma: ne, amo Isala: ili Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da wali ninima gisa misi dagoi!”

So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying: 'They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.'

11 Amaiba: le, ilia da Filisidini ouligisu dunu huluane misa: ne bu wele sia: i, amalu ilima amane sia: i, “Amo Isala: ili Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili hina: sogedafa amoga bu sinidigili, ililima iagama. Amasea, nini amola ninia sosogo fi da mae bogogia: ma: ne.” Be amomane moilai bai bagade amo ganodini ilia da bagadewane beda: i. Bai Gode da ilima se nabasu defele ianebeba: le.

They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said: 'Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people'; for there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

12 Amola dunu se nabasu ilima doaga: i, be hame bogogia: i, ilima momahoi dialebe ba: i. Amola ilia da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ amo ili fidima: ne sia: ne gagadosu.

And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
