1 Samuel 5
1 Filistinnaw ni BAWIPA e thingkong hah a la awh hnukkhu, Ebenezer kho hoi Asdod kho vah a ceikhai awh.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben–ezer unto Ashdod.
2 BAWIPA e thingkong hah Dagon Bawkim thung a kâenkhai awh teh, Dagon meikaphawk teng a hruek awh.
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Asdod taminaw amom vah a thaw awh toteh, khenhaw! BAWIPA thingkong hmalah Dagon pakhup lah talai dawk a rawp e a hmu awh teh, Dagon teh amae hmuen koe bout a hruek awh.
And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of Yhwh. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 Atangtho amom a thaw awh toteh, Dagon pakhup lah talai dawk a rawp e a hmu awh teh, Dagon teh amae hmuen koe bout a hruek awh.
And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Yhwh; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5 Hatdawkvah, Asdod kho dawk sahnin totouh Dagon e vaihmanaw, Dagon imthung kâen buet touh ni hai Dagon im e longkha teh atu totouh coungroe ngam awh hoeh toe.
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 BAWIPA ni Asdod khocanaw lathueng a kut ka ri e a toung. Asdod kho hoi hote kho teng kaawm e taminaw hah tak pâphu patawnae lahoi runae a poe teh moi a pathung.
But the hand of Yhwh was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
7 Asdodnaw ni hot patetlah e hno kaawm e hah a hmu awh navah Isarelnaw e Cathut thingkong kaimouh koe pou awm hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh hoi Cathut Dagon lathueng kut a toung e a patawpoung telah ati awh.
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 Taminaw a patoun awh teh, Filistin siangpahrangnaw a kamkhueng sak awh teh, Isarelnaw e Cathut e thingkong hah bangtelamaw ti han telah a pacei awh navah, siangpahrangnaw ni Isarelnaw e Cathut thingkong hah Gath kho lah cetkhai awh naseh ati awh teh thingkong hah a ceikhai awh.
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 A ceikhai awh hnukkhu hote khopui dawk BAWIPA ni kut a toung teh tami pueng lungthin a tâlueng sak. Khoca kathoung kalennaw koe totouh pâphu patawnae teh a pha sak.
And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Yhwh was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
10 Hatdawkvah, Cathut e thingkong hah Ekron kho lah a patoun awh. BAWIPA e thingkong teh Ekron kho a pha toteh a khocanaw ni Isarelnaw e Cathut e thingkong hah maimouh hoi taminaw due sak hanelah a pha sak awh toe telah a hram awh.
Therefore 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 Tami a patoun awh teh, Filistin siangpahrangnaw a kamkhueng sak awh teh, ahnimouh ni maimouh hoi taminaw a due sak hoeh nahan Isarelnaw e Cathut e thingkong hah patoun awh lawih. Ama a onae hmuen koe bout tat awh lawih telah a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e a kut karipoung e maimouh koe phat vaiteh, khopui thungvah due kawi patawnae a pha han.
So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
12 Ka dout hoeh rae naw teh tak pâphunae ni a tho sin teh khopui hram lawk kalvan totouh a pha.
And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
