1 Samuelova 5

1 Kad su Filistejci osvojili Kovčeg Božji, prenesoše ga iz Eben Haezera u Ašdod.

Then the Philistims tooke the Arke of God and caried it from Eben-ezer vnto Ashdod,

2 Nato Filistejci uzeše Kovčeg Božji, unesoše ga u hram Dagonov i smjestiše pokraj Dagona.

Euen the Philistims tooke ye Arke of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

3 Sutradan ujutro, kad su žitelji Ašdoda došli u hram Dagonov, gle, Dagon ležaše ničice na zemlji pred Kovčegom Jahvinim. Oni digoše Dagona i metnuše ga natrag na njegovo mjesto.

And when they of Ashdod rose the next day in the morning, beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and they tooke vp Dagon, and set him in his place againe.

4 Ali kad su ujutro uranili, gle, Dagon opet ležaše ničice na zemlji pred Kovčegom Jahvinim; glava Dagona i obje njegove ruke ležahu odsječene na pragu: na mjestu je stajao samo Dagonov trup.

Also they rose vp earely in the morning the next day, and beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and the head of Dagon and the two palmes of his hands were cut off vpon the thresholde: onely the stumpe of Dagon was left to him.

5 Zato Dagonovi svećenici i svi koji ulaze u Dagonov hram ne staju nogom na prag Dagonov u Ašdodu sve do današnjeg dana.

Therefore the Priests of Dagon, and all that come into Dagons house tread not on the thresholde of Dagon in Ashdod, vnto this day.

6 Tada ruka Jahvina teško pritisnu žitelje Ašdoda i natjera ih u silan strah: udari ih čirevima, Ašdod i njegovo područje.

But the hand of the Lord was heauie vpon them of Ashdod, and destroyed them, and smote them with the emerods, both Ashdod, and the coastes thereof.

7 Kad su ljudi u Ašdodu vidjeli što se dogodilo, rekoše: “Kovčeg Boga Izraelova ne smije ostati kod nas jer se ruka njegova ispriječila protiv nas i protiv našega boga Dagona.”

And when the men of Ashdod sawe this, they sayd, Let not the Arke of the God of Israel abide with vs: for his hand is sore vpon vs and vpon Dagon our god.

8 Oni sazvaše i okupiše sve knezove filistejske k sebi i rekoše: “Što da radimo s Kovčegom Boga Izraelova?” A oni odgovoriše: “U Gat neka se prenese Kovčeg Boga Izraelova.” I prenesoše Kovčeg Boga Izraelova onamo.

They sent therefore and gathered all the princes of the Philistims vnto them, and sayde, What shall we doe with the Arke of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the Arke of the God of Israel be caried about vnto Gath: and they caried the Arke of the God of Israel about.

9 Ali kad su ga prenijeli, ruka se Jahvina spusti na grad i nasta silna strava: udari građane, od najmanjega do najvećega, tako da im se pojaviše čirevi.

And when they had caried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the citie with a very great destruction, and he smote the men of the citie both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret partes.

10 Oni tada poslaše Kovčeg Božji u Ekron. Ali kad je Kovčeg Božji stigao u Ekron, povikaše Ekronjani: “Donesoše Kovčeg Boga Izraelova k meni da pomori mene i sav moj narod!”

Therefore they sent the Arke of God to Ekron: and assoone as the Arke of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cryed out, saying, They haue brought the Arke of the God of Israel to vs to slay vs and our people.

11 Zato sazvaše i okupiše sve knezove filistejske i rekoše: “Pošaljite natrag Kovčeg Boga Izraelova, neka se vrati na svoje mjesto da ne pomori mene i moj narod!” Jer vladaše smrtna strava u svemu gradu, toliko ondje bijaše pritisnula ruka Božja.

Therefore they sent, and gathered together all the princes of the Philistims and sayd, Sende away the Arke of the God of Israel, and let it returne to his owne place, that it slay vs not and our people: for there was a destruction and death throughout all the citie, and the hand of God was very sore there.

12 Ljudi koji nisu pomrli bili su udareni čirevima i bolni se vapaj grada dizao do neba.

And the men that dyed not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the citie went vp to heauen.
