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 God’s ark, and they brought it from Ebenezer to 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.
The Philistines took God’s ark, 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.
When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark. 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.
When they arose early on the following morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.
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 who come into Dagon’s house step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to 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 LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.
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.”
When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on 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 together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
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.
It was so, that after they had carried it there, the LORD’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on 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 God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill 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 the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic 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.
The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
