1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
非利士人將上帝的約櫃從以便以謝抬到亞實突。
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
非利士人將上帝的約櫃抬進大袞廟，放在大袞的旁邊。
3 And when those of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
次日清早，亞實突人起來，見大袞仆倒在耶和華的約櫃前，臉伏於地，就把大袞仍立在原處。
4 And when they arose early on the morning of the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah, and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands lay cut off upon the threshold. Only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
又次日清早起來，見大袞仆倒在耶和華的約櫃前，臉伏於地，並且大袞的頭和兩手都在門檻上折斷，只剩下大袞的殘體。（
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.
因此，大袞的祭司和一切進亞實突、大袞廟的人都不踏大袞廟的門檻，直到今日。）
6 But the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with tumors, even Ashdod and the borders of it.
耶和華的手重重加在亞實突人身上，敗壞他們，使他們生痔瘡。亞實突和亞實突的四境都是如此。
7 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 hard upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
亞實突人見這光景，就說：「以色列上帝的約櫃不可留在我們這裏，因為他的手重重加在我們和我們神大袞的身上」；
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to 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 to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
就打發人去請非利士的眾首領來聚集，問他們說：「我們向以色列上帝的約櫃應當怎樣行呢？」他們回答說：「可以將以色列上帝的約櫃運到迦特去。」於是將以色列上帝的約櫃運到那裏去。
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great discomfiture. And he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and tumors broke out upon them.
運到之後，耶和華的手攻擊那城，使那城的人大大驚慌，無論大小都生痔瘡。
10 So 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 kill us and our people.
他們就把上帝的約櫃送到以革倫。上帝的約櫃到了，以革倫人就喊嚷起來說：「他們將以色列上帝的約櫃運到我們這裏，要害我們和我們的眾民！」
11 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people. For there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
於是打發人去請非利士的眾首領來，說：「願你們將以色列上帝的約櫃送回原處，免得害了我們和我們的眾民！」原來上帝的手重重攻擊那城，城中的人有因驚慌而死的；
12 And the men who did not die were smitten with the tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
未曾死的人都生了痔瘡。合城呼號，聲音上達於天。
