1 Samuel 5

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.

ペリシテ人神の櫃をとりて之をエベネゼルよりアシドドにもちきたる

2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

即ちペリシテ人神の櫃をとりて之をダゴンの家にもちきたりダゴンの傍に置ぬ

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 the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

アシドド人次の日夙く興きヱホバの櫃のまへにダゴンの俯伏に地にたふれをるをみ乃ちダゴンをとりて再びこれを本の處におく

4 And when they arose early on the morrow 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.

また翌朝夙く興きヱホバの櫃のまへにダゴン俯伏に地にたふれをるを見るダゴンの頭と其兩手門閾のうへに斷ち切れをり只ダゴンの體のみのこれり

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.

是をもてダゴンの祭司およびダゴンの家にいるもの今日にいたるまでアシドドにあるダゴンの閾をふまず

6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] Ashdod and the coasts thereof.

かくてヱホバの手おもくアシドド人にくははりヱホバこれをほろぼし腫物をもてアシドドおよび其四周の人をくるしめたまふ

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.

アシドド人その斯るを見ていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃を我らのうちにとどむべからず其は其手いたくわれらおよび我らの神ダゴンにくははればなり

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].

是故に人をつかはしてペリシテ人の諸君主を集めていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をいかにすべきや彼らいひけるはイスラエルの神のはこはガテに移さんと遂にイスラエルの神のはこをうつす

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 emerods in their secret parts.

之をうつせるのち神の手其邑にくははりて滅亡るもの甚だおほし即ち老たると幼とをいはず邑の人をうちたまひて腫物人々におこれり

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.

是において神のはこをエクロンにおくりたるに神の櫃エクロンにいたりしときエクロン人さけびていひけるは我等とわが民をころさんとてイスラエルの神のはこを我等にうつすと

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.

かくて人を遣してペリシテ人の諸君主をあつめていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をおくりて本のところにかへさん然らば我等とわが民をころすことなからん蓋は邑中に恐ろしき滅亡おこり神の手甚だおもく其處にくははればなり

12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

死なざる者は腫物にくるしめられ邑の號呼天に達せり
