1 Samuel 5
1 Then the Philistines took the ark of God, and they transported it from the Stone of Assistance into Ashdod.
Filistejci so vzeli Božjo skrinjo in jo iz Eben Ezerja prinesli v Ašdód.
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it into the temple of Dagon. And they stationed it beside Dagon.
Ko so Filistejci vzeli Božjo skrinjo, so jo prinesli v Dagónovo hišo in jo postavili poleg Dagóna.
3 And when the Ashdodites had risen up at first light on the next day, behold, Dagon was lying prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and they set him again in his place.
Ko so tisti iz Ašdóda naslednji dan zgodaj vstali, glej, Dagón je bil zvrnjen dol k zemlji, na svoj obraz, pred Gospodovo skrinjo. In prijeli so Dagóna in ga ponovno postavili na njegovo mesto.
4 And again, on the next day, rising up in the morning, they found Dagon lying on his face upon the ground, before the ark of the Lord. But the head of Dagon, and both palms of his hands had been cut off upon the threshold.
Ko so naslednji dan zgodaj zjutraj vstali, glej, Dagón je bil zvrnjen na svojem obrazu na tleh pred Gospodovo skrinjo, in Dagónova glava in obe dlani njegovih rok so bili odsekani na pragu. Samo Dagónov trup mu je preostal.
5 Moreover, only the trunk of Dagon remained in its place. For this reason, the priests of Dagon, and all who enter his temple, do not tread upon the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, even to this day.
Zato niti Dagónovi duhovniki niti kdorkoli, ki pride v Dagónovo hišo, do današnjega dne, ne stopajo na Dagónov prag v Ašdódu.
6 Now the hand of the Lord weighed heavily upon the Ashdodites, and he destroyed them. And he struck Ashdod and its borders at the inner part of the buttocks. And in the villages and fields, in the midst of that region, mice rose up and burst forth. And this caused a great tumult unto death in the city.
Toda Gospodova roka je bila težka nad tistimi iz Ašdóda in uničeval jih je in jih udaril s hemoroídi, torej Ašdód in njegova mesta.
7 Then the men of Ashdod, seeing this kind of plague, said: “The ark of the God of Israel shall not remain with us. For his hand is harsh, over us and over Dagon, our god.”
Ko so možje iz Ašdóda videli, da je bilo tako, so rekli: »Skrinja Izraelovega Boga naj ne ostane z nami, kajti njegova roka je boleče nad nami in nad našim bogom Dagónom.«
8 And sending, they gathered together all the princes of the Philistines to them, and they said, “What shall we do about the ark of the God of Israel?” And the Gathites responded, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be led around.” And they led the ark of the God of Israel around.
Zato so poslali in k sebi zbrali vse filistejske kneze ter rekli: »Kaj naj storimo s skrinjo Izraelovega Boga?« Odgovorili so: »Naj bo skrinja Izraelovega Boga prenesena v Gat.« In tja so prenesli skrinjo Izraelovega Boga.
9 And as they were carrying it around, the hand of the Lord fell upon every single city with an exceedingly great slaughter. And he struck down the men of each and every city, from the small even to the great. And cysts were festering at their buttocks. And the Gathites took counsel, and they made for themselves seat covers from pelts.
To je bilo tako, da potem, ko so jo odnesli, je bila Gospodova roka zoper mesto z zelo velikim uničenjem in udaril je može iz mesta, tako male, kakor velike in imeli so hemoroíde v svojih skritih delih.
10 Therefore, they sent the ark of God into Ekron. And when the ark of God had arrived at Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, so that it may kill us and our people!”
Zato so Božjo skrinjo poslali v Ekrón. Pripetilo se je, ko je Božja skrinja prišla v Ekrón, da so Ekrónci zavpili, rekoč: »K nam so privedli skrinjo Izraelovega Boga, da ubije nas in naše ljudstvo.«
11 And so they sent and gathered together all the princes of the Philistines, and they said: “Release the ark of the God of Israel, and return it to its own place. And let it not kill us, with our people.”
Tako so poslali in zbrali skupaj vse filistejske kneze in rekli: »Pošljite proč skrinjo Izraelovega Boga in naj ponovno gre na svoj kraj, da ne ubije nas in našega ljudstva, « kajti tam je bilo v vsem mestu smrtonosno uničenje. Božja roka je bila tam zelo težka.
12 For the fear of death fell upon every single city, and the hand of God was very heavy. Also, the men who did not die were being afflicted in the inner part of the buttocks. And the wailing of each city was ascending to heaven.
Možje, ki niso umrli, so bili udarjeni s hemoroídi in krik mesta je šel gor do neba.
