撒母耳记上 5
1 非利士人将 神的约柜从以便以谢抬到亚实突。
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.
2 非利士人将 神的约柜抬进大衮庙，放在大衮的旁边。
And the Philistines took the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 次日清早，亚实突人起来，见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前，脸伏于地，就把大衮仍立在原处。
And the people of Azotus rose early, and entered into the house of Dagon; and looked, and behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the Lord: and they lifted up Dagon, and set him in his place. And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and he struck them in their secret parts, Azotus and her coasts.
4 又次日清早起来，见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前，脸伏于地，并且大衮的头和两手都在门槛上折断，只剩下大衮的残体。（
And it came to pass when they rose early in the morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off each before the threshold, and both the wrists of his hands had fallen on the floor of the porch; only the stump of Dagon was left.
5 因此，大衮的祭司和一切进亚实突、大衮庙的人都不踏大衮庙的门槛，直到今日。）
Therefore the priests of Dagon, and every one that enters into the house of Dagon, do not tread upon the threshold of the house of Dagon in Azotus until this day, for they step over.
6 耶和华的手重重加在亚实突人身上，败坏他们，使他们生痔疮。亚实突和亚实突的四境都是如此。
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon Azotus, and he brought evil upon them, and it burst out upon them into the ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their country, and there was a great and indiscriminate mortality in the city.
7 亚实突人见这光景，就说：“以色列 神的约柜不可留在我们这里，因为他的手重重加在我们和我们神大衮的身上”；
And the men of Azotus saw that [it was] so, and they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us, for his hand [is] heavy upon us and upon Dagon our god.
8 就打发人去请非利士的众首领来聚集，问他们说：“我们向以色列 神的约柜应当怎样行呢？”他们回答说：“可以将以色列 神的约柜运到迦特去。”于是将以色列 神的约柜运到那里去。
And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines to them, and say, What shall we do to the ark of the God of Israel? and the Gittites say, Let the ark of God come over to us; and the ark of the God of Israel came to Geth.
9 运到之后，耶和华的手攻击那城，使那城的人大大惊慌，无论大小都生痔疮。
And it came to pass after it went about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city small and great, and struck them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves images of tumors.
10 他们就把 神的约柜送到以革伦。 神的约柜到了，以革伦人就喊嚷起来说：“他们将以色列 神的约柜运到我们这里，要害我们和我们的众民！”
And they send away the ark of God to Ascalon; and it came to pass when the ark of God went into Ascalon, that the men of Ascalon cried out, saying, Why have you brought back the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?
11 于是打发人去请非利士的众首领来，说：“愿你们将以色列 神的约柜送回原处，免得害了我们和我们的众民！”原来 神的手重重攻击那城，城中的人有因惊慌而死的；
And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it lodge in its place; and let it not kill us and our people.
12 未曾死的人都生了痔疮。合城呼号，声音上达于天。
For there was a very great confusion in all the city, when the ark of the God of Israel entered there; and those, who lived and died not were struck with tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
