1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
Philisti loh a loh Pathen thingkawng te Ebenezer lamloh Ashdod la a khuen uh.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house 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 they of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
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 when they arose early on the next day morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon 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 upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
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 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.
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 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and stroke them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
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 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 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 They sent therefore 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 answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
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 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 stroke the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the 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.
