1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
A Filisteji uzeše kovèeg Božji, i odnesoše iz Even-Ezera u Azot.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
I uzevši Filisteji kovèeg Božji unesoše ga u dom Dagonov, i namjestiše ga do Dagona.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen on his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
A sjutradan kad ustaše Azoæani rano, a to Dagon ležaše nièice na zemlji pred kovèegom Gospodnjim; i oni uzeše Dagona i metnuše ga opet na njegovo mjesto.
4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
A kad sjutradan rano ustaše, gle, opet Dagon ležaše nièice na zemlji pred kovèegom Gospodnjim, a glava Dagonu i obje ruke otsjeèene bijahu na pragu; samo trup od Dagona bješe ostao.
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.
Zato sveštenici Dagonovi i koji god ulaze u dom Dagonov ne staju na prag Dagonov u Azotu do danas.
6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy on them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with tumors, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
Tada oteža ruka Gospodnja Azoæanima, i moraše ih i udaraše ih šuljevima u Azotu i meðama njegovijem.
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 sore on us, and on Dagon our god.
A kad Azoæani vidješe šta je, rekoše: da ne stoji kod nas kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva; jer je ruka njegova teška nad nama i nad Dagonom bogom našim.
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, 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.
I poslaše, te sabraše k sebi sve knezove Filistejske, i rekoše im: što æemo èiniti s kovèegom Boga Izrailjeva? A oni rekoše: da se prenese u Gat kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva. I prenesoše kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva.
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had tumors in their secret parts.
A kad ga prenesoše, bi ruka Gospodnja na gradu s mukom vrlo velikom, i stade biti graðane od maloga do velikoga, i doðoše na njih tajni šuljevi.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as 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 slay us and our people.
Zato poslaše kovèeg Božji u Akaron; a kad doðe kovèeg Božji u Akaron, povikaše Akaronjani govoreæi: donesoše k nama kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva da pomori nas i naš narod.
11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
Zato poslaše, te sabraše sve knezove Filistejske, i rekoše: pošljite kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva neka se vrati na svoje mjesto, da ne pomori nas i naroda našega. Jer bijaše smrtan strah po cijelom gradu, i vrlo teška bijaše ruka Gospodnja ondje.
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the tumors: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Jer ljudi koji ostajahu živi bolovahu od šuljeva tako da se vika u gradu podizaše do neba.
