< 1 Samuel 5 >

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí àwọn Filistini ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run lọ, wọ́n gbé e láti Ebeneseri sí Aṣdodu.
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Nígbà tí àwọn Filistini gbé àpótí Ọlọ́run náà lọ sí tẹmpili Dagoni, wọ́n gbé e kalẹ̀ sí ẹ̀bá Dagoni.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ará Aṣdodu jí ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù ní ọjọ́ kejì, Dagoni ṣubú, ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú àpótí Olúwa, wọ́n sì gbé Dagoni, wọ́n tún fi sí ààyè rẹ̀.
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:
Ṣùgbọ́n ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì nígbà tí wọ́n dìde, Dagoni ṣì wá, ó ṣubú ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Orí àti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì ti gé kúrò, ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ ní orí ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà, ara rẹ̀ nìkan ni ó kù.
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.
Ìdí nìyìí títí di òní tí ó fi jẹ́ pé àlùfáà Dagoni tàbí àwọn mìíràn tí ó wọ inú tẹmpili Dagoni ní Aṣdodu fi ń tẹ orí ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
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.
Ọwọ́ Olúwa wúwo lára àwọn ènìyàn Aṣdodu àti gbogbo agbègbè rẹ̀: ó mú ìparun wá sórí wọn, ó sì pọ́n wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ààrùn oníkókó.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Aṣdodu rí ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ti Israẹli kò gbọdọ̀ dúró níbí yìí pẹ̀lú wa, nítorí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ wúwo lára wa àti lára Dagoni ọlọ́run wá.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n pè gbogbo àwọn olórí Filistini jọ wọ́n sì bi wọ́n pé, “Kí ni a ó ṣe pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli lọ sí Gati.” Wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti gbé e, ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wá sí ìlú náà, ó mú jìnnìjìnnì bá wọn. Ó sì pọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà lójú, ọmọdé àti àgbà, pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn oníkókó.
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.
Wọ́n gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run lọ sí Ekroni. Bí àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ṣe wọ Ekroni, àwọn ará Ekroni fi igbe ta pé, “Wọ́n ti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run Israẹli tọ̀ wá wá láti pa wá àti àwọn ènìyàn wa.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n pe gbogbo àwọn olórí àwọn Filistini jọ wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli lọ: ẹ jẹ́ kí ó padà sí ààyè rẹ̀, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò pa wá àti àwọn ènìyàn wa.” Ikú ti mú jìnnìjìnnì bá àwọn ará ìlú, ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run sì wúwo lára wọn.
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.
Àwọn tí kò kú wọ́n pọ́n wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ààrùn oníkókó, ẹkún ìlú náà sì gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run.
