1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Filisxeemonni erga taabota Waaqaa boojiʼanii booddee Ebeenezerii fuudhanii Ashdooditti geessan.
2 The Philistines took it, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Ergasiis taabota sana gara galma Daagonitti geessanii Daagon bira kaaʼan.
3 And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of YHWH. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.
Namoonni Ashdood yommuu guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan kaʼanitti Daagon taabota Waaqayyoo duratti addaan lafatti gombifamee argan! Isaanis lafaa kaasanii iddoo isaatti isa deebisan.
4 And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of YHWH; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.
Garuu yommuu isaan guyyaa itti aanu ganama kaʼanitti Daagon taabota Waaqayyoo duratti addaan lafatti gombifamee ture! Mataa fi harki isaas irraa caccabee gulantaa balbalaa irra bubbuʼee ture; dhagna isaa qofatu hafe.
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.
Wanni luboonni Daagon yookaan namni galma Daagon kan Ashdood jiru sana ol seenu kam iyyuu hamma harʼaatti gulantaa balbalaa irra hin ejjenneef kanuma.
6 But the hand of YHWH 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.
Harki Waaqayyoo saba Ashdoodii fi naannoo ishee irratti jabaate; badiisa isaanitti fide; iitoos isaanitti naqe.
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."
Namoonni Ashdoodis yeroo waan taʼaa ture arganitti, “Sababii harki isaa nuu fi Waaqa keenya Daagon irratti jabaateef taabonni Waaqa Israaʼel as turuu hin qabu” jedhan.
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.
Kanaaf bulchitoota Filisxeem hunda walitti waamanii, “Taabota Waaqa Israaʼel maal gochuu qabna?” jedhanii isaan gaafatan. Isaanis, “Taabota Waaqa Israaʼel gara Gaati geessaa!” jedhanii deebisan. Kanaaf taabota Waaqa Israaʼel achii baasan.
9 And it came about that after they had brought it around, the hand of YHWH 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.
Erga taabota sana achii baasanii booddee harki Waaqayyoo magaalaa sanatti jabaatee badiisa guddaa fide. Namoota magaalaa sana jiraatanis xinnaadhaa hamma guddaatti dhaʼe; akka dhiitoon isaanitti yaaʼus godhe.
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?"
Kanaafuu taabota Waaqaa gara Eqroonitti ergan. Akkuma taabonni Waaqaa Eqroon seeneenis namoonni Eqroon, “Isin nuu fi namoota keenya fixuudhaaf taabota Waaqaa nutti fiddan” jedhanii iyyan.
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.
Kanaafuu bulchitoota Filisxeem hunda walitti waamanii, “Taabota Waaqa Israaʼel asii fageessaa; iddoo isaatti haa deebiʼu; yoo kanaa achii inni nuu fi saba keenya fixa” jedhaniin. Sodaan duʼaa magaalaa sana guutee tureetii; harki Waaqaas akka malee itti jabaatee ture.
12 The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Warri hin duʼinis waan dhiitoon isaanitti yaaʼeef iyyi isaanii samiitti ol baʼe.
