1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of Elohim, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
Sima na bango kobotola Sanduku ya Nzambe, bato ya Filisitia balongolaki yango na Ebeni-Ezeri mpe bakendeki na yango na Asidodi.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of Elohim, they 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 on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of YHWH. 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 on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of YHWH; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon 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 unto 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 But the hand of YHWH was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
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 Elohim of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our elohim.
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 They sent therefore and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the Elohim of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the Elohim of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the Elohim 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 was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of YHWH was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
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 Therefore they sent the ark of Elohim to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of Elohim came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the Elohim of Israel to us, to slay 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 So they sent and gathered together all rulers of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the Elohim 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 Elohim 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 emerods: 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.
