1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí àwọn Filistini ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run lọ, wọ́n gbé e láti Ebeneseri sí Aṣdodu.
2 The Philistines took it, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Nígbà tí àwọn Filistini gbé àpótí Ọlọ́run náà lọ sí tẹmpili Dagoni, wọ́n gbé e kalẹ̀ sí ẹ̀bá Dagoni.
3 And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of Jehovah. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.
Nígbà tí àwọn ará Aṣdodu jí ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù ní ọjọ́ kejì, Dagoni ṣubú, ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú àpótí Olúwa, wọ́n sì gbé Dagoni, wọ́n tún fi sí ààyè rẹ̀.
4 And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì nígbà tí wọ́n dìde, Dagoni ṣì wá, ó ṣubú ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Orí àti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì ti gé kúrò, ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ ní orí ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà, ara rẹ̀ nìkan ni ó kù.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.
Ìdí nìyìí títí di òní tí ó fi jẹ́ pé àlùfáà Dagoni tàbí àwọn mìíràn tí ó wọ inú tẹmpili Dagoni ní Aṣdodu fi ń tẹ orí ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
6 But the hand of Jehovah was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death in the city.
Ọwọ́ Olúwa wúwo lára àwọn ènìyàn Aṣdodu àti gbogbo agbègbè rẹ̀: ó mú ìparun wá sórí wọn, ó sì pọ́n wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ààrùn oníkókó.
7 When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of God shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on Dagon our god."
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Aṣdodu rí ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ti Israẹli kò gbọdọ̀ dúró níbí yìí pẹ̀lú wa, nítorí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ wúwo lára wa àti lára Dagoni ọlọ́run wá.”
8 So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of God?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of God be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n pè gbogbo àwọn olórí Filistini jọ wọ́n sì bi wọ́n pé, “Kí ni a ó ṣe pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli lọ sí Gati.” Wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
9 And it came about that after they had brought it around, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.
Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti gbé e, ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wá sí ìlú náà, ó mú jìnnìjìnnì bá wọn. Ó sì pọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà lójú, ọmọdé àti àgbà, pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn oníkókó.
10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "Why have you brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?"
Wọ́n gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run lọ sí Ekroni. Bí àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ṣe wọ Ekroni, àwọn ará Ekroni fi igbe ta pé, “Wọ́n ti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run Israẹli tọ̀ wá wá láti pa wá àti àwọn ènìyàn wa.”
11 And they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a panic throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n pe gbogbo àwọn olórí àwọn Filistini jọ wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli lọ: ẹ jẹ́ kí ó padà sí ààyè rẹ̀, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò pa wá àti àwọn ènìyàn wa.” Ikú ti mú jìnnìjìnnì bá àwọn ará ìlú, ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run sì wúwo lára wọn.
12 The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Àwọn tí kò kú wọ́n pọ́n wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ààrùn oníkókó, ẹkún ìlú náà sì gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run.
