1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
A Filisteji uzeše kovèeg Božji, i odnesoše iz Even-Ezera u Azot.
2 The Philistines took it, 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 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.
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 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.
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 neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.
Zato sveštenici Dagonovi i koji god ulaze u dom Dagonov ne staju na prag Dagonov u Azotu do danas.
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.
Tada oteža ruka Gospodnja Azoæanima, i moraše ih i udaraše ih šuljevima u Azotu i meðama njegovijem.
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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?"
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 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.
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 The men who did not die were struck with the 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.
