1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus.
Philisti loh a loh Pathen thingkawng te Ebenezer lamloh Ashdod la a khuen uh.
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Te dongah Philisti loh a khuen Pathen thingkawng te Dagon im la a det uh tih Dagon taengah a khueh uh.
3 And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place.
A vuen ah Ashodi rhoek te a thoh uh vaengah Dagon tah BOEIPA thingkawng hmai ah diklai la a hmai longah tarha ana cungku. Te dongah Dagon te a loh uh tih amah hmuen la koep a khueh uh.
4 And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold:
A vuen mincang kah a thoh uh vaengah khaw Dagon te BOEIPA thingkawng hmai ah diklai la a hmai longah tarha cungku bal. Dagon kah a lu neh a kut kutpha rhoi khaw thohkong dongah a khuek tih Dagon bueng te sueng.
5 And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day.
Te dongah Dagon khosoih long khaw, Dagon im la aka kun boeih long khaw ti hnin duela Ashdod kah Dagon thohkong te cawt uh pawh.
6 And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city.
BOEIPA kut loh Ashodi te a nan tih a pong sak. Ashdod neh a khorhi khui te tungueh nen khaw, rhilcolh nen khaw a ngawn.
7 And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
Ashdod hlang rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah, “Mamih neh mamih kah pathen Dagon khaw a kut neh mat a nan coeng dongah Israel Pathen kah thingkawng he mamih taengah om voel boel saeh,” a ti uh.
8 And sending, they gathered together all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said: What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And the Gethrites answered: Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about.
Te dongah Philisti boei rhoek te boeih a tah uh tih a tingtun uh vaengah, “Israel Pathen kah thingkawng te metlam n'saii eh?,” a ti uh. Tedae, “Israel Pathen kah thingkawng te Gath la mael saeh,” a ti na uh dongah Israel Pathen kah thingkawng te a mael sakuh.
9 And while they were carrying it about, the band of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethrites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins.
Thingkawng a mael hnukah khaw khopuei te BOEIPA kut loh a om thil pueng tih soekloeknah a len la muep om. Khopuei kah hlang te tanoe kangham la a ngawn tih amih pum dongah rhilcolh la a puek pa uh.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God into Accaron. And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.
Te dongah Pathen kah thingkawng te Ekron la a thak uh. Tedae Pathen kah thingkawng te Ekron la a pawk van neh Ekroni rhoek pang uh tih, “Mamih neh mah kah pilnam aka ngawn hamla Israel Pathen kah thingkawng tah mamih taengla ham mael coeng,” a ti uh.
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 return into its own place, and not kill us and our people.
Te dongah Philisti boei rhoek te boeih a tah uh tih a tingtun uh vaengah, “Israel Pathen kah thingkawng te thak uh lamtah amah hmuen la mael laeh saeh. Te daengah ni mamih neh mah pilnam he a duek sak pawt eh. Pathen kut loh mat a nan tih khopuei tom ah dueknah dongkah soekloeknah la om coeng,” a ti uh.
12 For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven.
Hlang te tungueh rhilcolh neh a ngawn tih duek uh ngawn pawt dae khopuei kah a pang rhoe mah vaan la luei.
