1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, took it with them from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
यति बेला पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दुक कब्जा गरेका, र तिनीहरूले त्यो एबेन-एजेरबाट अश्दोदमा ल्याएका थिए ।
2 They took the ark of God into the house of Dagon and put it by the side of Dagon.
पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दुक लगे, दागोनको मन्दिरमा त्यो ल्याए र दागोनको नजिकै राखे ।
3 And when the people of Ashdod got up early on the morning after, they saw that Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon up and put him in his place again.
जब अश्दोदका मानिसहरू अर्को दिन बिहान सबेरै उठे, हेर, दागोन त परमप्रभुको सन्दुकको सामु घोप्टो परेर ढलेको थियो । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले दागोनलाई उठाए र त्यसलाई आफ्नै स्थानमा खडा गरे ।
4 And when they got up early on the morning after, Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord; and his head and his hands were broken off on the doorstep; only the base was in its place.
तर जब तिनीहरू अर्को बिहान सबेरै उठे, हेर, दागोन परमप्रभुको सन्दुकको सामु घोप्टो परेर ढलेको थियो । दागोनको शिर र दुवै हातहरू टुक्रिएर ढोकामा अलपत्र थियो । दागोनको जिउ मात्र बाँकी रहेको थियो ।
5 So to this day no priest of Dagon, or any who come into Dagon's house, will put his foot on the doorstep of the house of Dagon in Ashdod.
यसैकारण आज पनि दागोनको भवनमा आउने दागोनका पुजारीहरू र कसैले पनि अश्दोदको दागोनको ढोकामा टेक्दैनन् ।
6 But the hand of the Lord was hard on the people of Ashdod and he sent disease on them through all the country of Ashdod.
अश्दोदका मानिसहरूमाथि परमप्रभुको हात भारी भयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई विनाश पार्नुभयो, अनि अश्दोद र त्यसको वरिपरि क्षेत्रहरूमा गिर्खाको रूढीले प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, Let not the ark of the God of Israel be with us, for his hand is hard on us and on Dagon our god.
जे भइरहेको थियो त्यो कुरा जब अश्दोदका मानिसहरूले थाहा पाए, तब तिनीहरूले भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दुक हामीसँग रहनु हुँदैन, किनभने हामी र हाम्रो देवता दागोनको विरुद्धमा उहाँको हात भारी भएको छ ।”
8 So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले बोलाउन पठाए र पलिश्तीहरूका सबै शासकहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई हामीले के गर्नुपर्छ?” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई गातमा नै ल्याइयोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई बोकेर त्यहाँ ल्याए ।
9 But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.
तर तिनीहरूले त्यो वरिपरि ल्याएपछि, परमप्रभुको हात त्यो सहरको विरुद्धमा परेर ठुलो गोलमाल गोलमाल भयो । उहाँले सहरका साना र ठुला सबै मानिसहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो । अनि तिनीहरूमा गिर्खाको रूढी फैलियो ।
10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of the town made an outcry, saying, They have sent the ark of the God of Israel to us for the destruction of us and of our people.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई एक्रोनमा पठाए । तर परमेश्वरको सन्दुक एक्रोनमा आउने बित्तिकै, एक्रोनीहरूले यसो भन्दै कराए, “तिनीहरूले हामी र हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई मार्नलाई इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दुक हामीकहाँ ल्याएका छन् ।”
11 So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले पलिश्तीहरूका सबै शासकहरूलाई बोलाए र भेला गरे । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दुकलाई पठाइदिनुहोस्, र यो आफ्नै ठाउँतिर फर्कोस्, ताकि त्यसले हामी र हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई नमारोस् ।” किनकि सहरभरि भयङ्कर मृत्युको त्रास फैलिएको थियो । त्यहाँ परमेश्वरको हात धेरै भारी पर्यो ।
12 And those men who were not overtaken by death were cruelly diseased: and the cry of the town went up to heaven.
नमरेका मानिसहरूमा गिर्खाको रूढी आइपर्यो र सहरको क्रन्दन आकाशसम्मै पुग्यो ।
