1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
Sima na bango kobotola Sanduku ya Nzambe, bato ya Filisitia balongolaki yango na Ebeni-Ezeri mpe bakendeki na yango na Asidodi.
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Bato ya Filisitia bakotisaki Sanduku ya Nzambe kati na tempelo ya Dagoni, nzambe na bango, mpe batiaki yango pembeni ya ekeko ya Dagoni.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bato ya Asidodi balamukaki mpe bamonaki Dagoni, nzambe na bango, akweya na mabele, elongi etala na se, liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe. Bazwaki mpe batelemisaki Dagoni, mpe bazongisaki ye na esika na ye.
4 And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him.
Kasi tango balamukaki na tongo ya mokolo mosusu oyo elandaki, bamonaki lisusu Dagoni akweya na mabele, elongi etala na se, liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe, moto mpe maboko ekatana, mpe etandama na ekotelo; kaka nzoto na ye nde etikalaki.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
Yango wana, kino na mokolo ya lelo, banganga-nzambe ya Dagoni mpe bato mosusu oyo bakotaka na tempelo ya nzambe Dagoni, na Asidodi, banyataka zingazinga ya ekotelo te.
6 And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, — Ashdod and its borders.
Loboko na Yawe etelemelaki bato ya Asidodi mpe ya zingazinga, ebebisaki bango mpe ekweyiselaki bango bokono ya pota ya libumu.
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 severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
Tango bato ya Asidodi bamonaki makambo oyo ekomelaki bango, balobaki: — Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele esengeli lisusu te kozala awa elongo na biso, pamba te Nzambe oyo anyokoli biso mingi na nguya na Ye; anyokoli biso mpe anyokoli Dagoni, nzambe na biso.
8 And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].
Na bongo, babengaki mpe basangisaki bakambi nyonso ya bato ya Filisitia, batunaki bango: — Tosengeli kosala nini na Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele. Bazongisaki: — Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele esengeli kokende na Gati. Boye bamemaki Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele na Gati.
9 And it came to pass that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with very great panic; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and hemorrhoids broke out upon them.
Kasi sima na bango komema yango kuna, loboko na Yawe etelemelaki lisusu bato ya engumba wana, ekotisaki pasi kati na bango: Yawe akweyiselaki bato ya engumba bokono ya « mosomba, » kobanda na bilenge kino na mikolo.
10 And they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, when 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.
Bongo batindaki Sanduku ya Nzambe na Ekroni. Tango Sanduku ya Nzambe ekotaki na Ekroni, bato ya Ekroni bagangaki: — Bamemi Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele epai na biso mpo ete baboma biso mpe baboma bato na biso.
11 And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it kill us not, and our people. For there was deadly alarm throughout the city: the hand of God was very heavy there;
Boye, babengaki mpe basangisaki bakambi nyonso ya bato ya Filisitia; balobaki na bango: — Bolongola Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele, bozongisa yango na esika na yango; noki te ekoboma biso mpe ekoboma bato na biso. Somo ya kufa ekangaki engumba mobimba, pamba te loboko na Yawe ezalaki kobebisa makasi kati na yango.
12 and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Bato oyo bakufaki te bazwaki bokono ya pota ya libumu, mpe koganga ya engumba emataki kino na likolo.
