Kings I 5

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

A Filisteji uzeše kovèeg Božji, i odnesoše iz Even-Ezera u Azot.

2 And the Philistines took the ark of the Lord, and 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

Zato sveštenici Dagonovi i koji god ulaze u dom Dagonov ne staju na prag Dagonov u Azotu do danas.

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.

Tada oteža ruka Gospodnja Azoæanima, i moraše ih i udaraše ih šuljevima u Azotu i meðama njegovijem.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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?

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 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.

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 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.

Jer ljudi koji ostajahu živi bolovahu od šuljeva tako da se vika u gradu podizaše do neba.
