1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to 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 The Philistines took it, and 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 the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD. So they raised up 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 it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.
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 who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to 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 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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 came about that after they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD 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.
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 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?"
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 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.
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 The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; 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
