Kings I 5

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.

Ita, inagaw dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, ket manipud Ebenezer, impanda daytoy idiay Asdod.

2 And the Philistines took the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

Innala dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, impanda iti balay ni Dagon, ket inyabayda daytoy iti estatua ni Dagon.

3 And the people of Azotus rose early, and entered into the house of Dagon; and looked, and behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the Lord: and they lifted up Dagon, and set him in his place. And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and he struck them in their secret parts, Azotus and her coasts.

Iti kabigatanna a nasapa a bimmangon dagiti tattao iti Asdod, nakitada a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Isu nga innalada ti estatua ni Dagon ket insublida manen iti sigud nga ayanna.

4 And it came to pass when they rose early in the morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off each before the threshold, and both the wrists of his hands had fallen on the floor of the porch; only the stump of Dagon was left.

Ngem idi nasapada a bimmangon iti kabigatanna, nakitada manen a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Naisina ti ulona ken dagiti imana ken naiwara dagitoy iti pagserkan. Ti laeng bagi ti estatua ni Dagon ti saan a naan-anu.

5 Therefore the priests of Dagon, and every one that enters into the house of Dagon, do not tread upon the threshold of the house of Dagon in Azotus until this day, for they step over.

Daytoy ti gapuna nga uray kadagitoy nga aldaw, ket saan a bumaddek iti pagserkan ti balayna idiay Asdod dagiti papadi ni Dagon ken siasinoman a mapan iti balayna.

6 And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon Azotus, and he brought evil upon them, and it burst out upon them into the ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their country, and there was a great and indiscriminate mortality in the city.

Nadagsen ti ima ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Asdod. Dinadael ken pinarigatna ida babaen kadagiti letteg, ti Asdod ken dagiti masakupanna.

7 And the men of Azotus saw that [it was] so, and they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us, for his hand [is] heavy upon us and upon Dagon our god.

Idi maamiris dagiti tattao ti Asdod ti mapaspasamak, kinunada, “Rumbeng a saan nga agtalinaed kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel, gapu ta napalalo ti panangdusdusana kadatayo ken ni Dagon a diostayo.”

8 And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines to them, and say, What shall we do to the ark of the God of Israel? and the Gittites say, Let the ark of God come over to us; and the ark of the God of Israel came to Geth.

Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidentayo iti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel?” Insungbatda, “Ipanyo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel idiay Gat.” Ket impanda sadiay ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel.

9 And it came to pass after it went about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city small and great, and struck them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves images of tumors.

Ngem kalpasan a naipanda daytoy, dinusa ni Yahweh ti siudad, a nangparnuay iti napalalo unay a pannakariribuk. Pinarigatna dagiti tattao iti siudad, dagiti ubbing ken nataengan; ket naglettegda.

10 And they send away the ark of God to Ascalon; and it came to pass when the ark of God went into Ascalon, that the men of Ascalon cried out, saying, Why have you brought back the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?

Isu nga impatulodda ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron. Ngem apaman a nakadanon ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron, impukkaw dagiti Ekronita, a kunada, “Inyegda kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel tapno patayennatayo ken dagiti tattaotayo.”

11 And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it lodge in its place; and let it not kill us and our people.

Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ipanawyo ti lakasa ti Dios ti Israel, ket isubliyo iti sigud nga ayanna, tapno saannatayo a papatayen ken dagiti tattaotayo.” Ta adu unayen ti natay iti entero a siudad; nadagsen unay ti ima ti Dios sadiay.

12 For there was a very great confusion in all the city, when the ark of the God of Israel entered there; and those, who lived and died not were struck with tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Dagiti tattao a saan a natay ket naparigat babaen kadagiti letteg, ket dimmanon kadagiti langlangit ti asug ti siudad.
