1 Samuel 5
1 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod,
Ita, inagaw dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, ket manipud Ebenezer, impanda daytoy idiay Asdod.
2 carried it into the temple of Dagon, and set it beside his statue.
Innala dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, impanda iti balay ni Dagon, ket inyabayda daytoy iti estatua ni Dagon.
3 When the people of Ashdod got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and returned him to his place.
Iti kabigatanna a nasapa a bimmangon dagiti tattao iti Asdod, nakitada a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Isu nga innalada ti estatua ni Dagon ket insublida manen iti sigud nga ayanna.
4 But when they got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD, with his head and his hands broken off and lying on the threshold. Only the torso remained.
Ngem idi nasapada a bimmangon iti kabigatanna, nakitada manen a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Naisina ti ulona ken dagiti imana ken naiwara dagitoy iti pagserkan. Ti laeng bagi ti estatua ni Dagon ti saan a naan-anu.
5 That is why, to this day, the priests of Dagon and all who enter the temple of Dagon in Ashdod do not step on the threshold.
Daytoy ti gapuna nga uray kadagitoy nga aldaw, ket saan a bumaddek iti pagserkan ti balayna idiay Asdod dagiti papadi ni Dagon ken siasinoman a mapan iti balayna.
6 Now the hand of the LORD was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity, ravaging them and afflicting them with tumors.
Nadagsen ti ima ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Asdod. Dinadael ken pinarigatna ida babaen kadagiti letteg, ti Asdod ken dagiti masakupanna.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not stay here with us, because His hand is heavy upon us and upon our god Dagon.”
Idi maamiris dagiti tattao ti Asdod ti mapaspasamak, kinunada, “Rumbeng a saan nga agtalinaed kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel, gapu ta napalalo ti panangdusdusana kadatayo ken ni Dagon a diostayo.”
8 So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and asked, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” “It must be moved to Gath,” they replied. So they carried away the ark of the God of Israel.
Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidentayo iti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel?” Insungbatda, “Ipanyo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel idiay Gat.” Ket impanda sadiay ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel.
9 But after they had moved the ark to Gath, the LORD’s hand was also against that city, throwing it into great confusion and afflicting the men of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.
Ngem kalpasan a naipanda daytoy, dinusa ni Yahweh ti siudad, a nangparnuay iti napalalo unay a pannakariribuk. Pinarigatna dagiti tattao iti siudad, dagiti ubbing ken nataengan; ket naglettegda.
10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron, but as it arrived, the Ekronites cried out, “They have brought us the ark of the God of Israel in order to kill us and our people!”
Isu nga impatulodda ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron. Ngem apaman a nakadanon ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron, impukkaw dagiti Ekronita, a kunada, “Inyegda kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel tapno patayennatayo ken dagiti tattaotayo.”
11 Then the Ekronites assembled all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel. It must return to its place, so that it will not kill us and our people!” For a deadly confusion had pervaded the city; the hand of God was heavy upon it.
Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ipanawyo ti lakasa ti Dios ti Israel, ket isubliyo iti sigud nga ayanna, tapno saannatayo a papatayen ken dagiti tattaotayo.” Ta adu unayen ti natay iti entero a siudad; nadagsen unay ti ima ti Dios sadiay.
12 Those who did not die were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven.
Dagiti tattao a saan a natay ket naparigat babaen kadagiti letteg, ket dimmanon kadagiti langlangit ti asug ti siudad.
