1 Samuelova 5

1 Filistinští pak vzali truhlu Boží, a zanesli ji z Eben-Ezer do Azotu.

And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.

2 Vzali tedy Filistinští truhlu Boží, a vnesli ji do domu modly Dágon, a postavili ji vedlé Dágona.

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

3 A když Azotští na zejtří ráno vstali, aj, Dágon povalený ležel tváří svou na zemi před truhlou Hospodinovou. I vzali Dágona a postavili jej na místo jeho.

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 A když opět ráno nazejtří vstali, aj, Dágon, jakž upadl, ležel tváří svou na zemi před truhlou Hospodinovou; hlava pak Dágonova a obě dlaně rukou jeho odražené byly na prahu, jen ho špalek zůstal.

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 Protož kněží Dágonovi a všickni, kteříž vcházejí do domu Dágonova, nešlapají na prah Dágonův v Azotu až do tohoto dne.

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 Tedy ztížena jest ruka Hospodinova nad Azotskými, a pohubila je, (nebo ranila je neduhy na zadku), Azot i končiny jeho.

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 Vidouce pak muži Azotští, co se děje, řekli: Nechť nezůstává truhla Boha Izraelského u nás, nebo těžká jest ruka jeho proti nám, a proti Dágonovi bohu našemu.

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 I obeslali a shromáždili všecka knížata Filistinská k sobě, a řekli: Co učiníme s truhlou Boha Izraelského? Odpověděli: Nechť jest doprovozena do Gát truhla Boha Izraelského. I zprovodili tam truhlu Boha Izraelského.

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 Stalo se pak, když ji vyprovázeli, že ruka Hospodinova přikročila k městu trápením velikým velmi, a ranila muže města od malého až do velikého, a nametalo se jim v tajných místech plno vředů.

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 Z té příčiny poslali truhlu Boží do Akaron. A když přišla truhla Boží do Akaron, zkřikli Akaronští, řkouce: Zprovodili k nám truhlu Boha Izraelského, aby nás pomořili i náš lid.

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 Protož poslavše, shromáždili všecka knížata Filistinská, a řekli: Odešlete truhlu Boha Izraelského, ať se navrátí na místo své, a nezmoří nás i lidu našeho. Nebo bylo trápení smrtelné po všem tom městě, a velmi těžká byla ruka Boží tam.

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 Muži pak, kteříž nezemřeli, raněni byli neduhy na zadku, tak že křik města vstupoval až k nebi.

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.
