1 Samuel 5

1 Now, the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, —brought it in from Eben-ezer, unto Ashdod.

Filisidini dunu ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili fedelalu, gaguli Ebenisa sogega amoinini ili moilai sogebi A: siedode moilai bai bagadega gisa asi.

2 And, when the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, —and placed it by the side of Dagon.

Ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone amo ea debolo diasu ganodini gisa heda: le, ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone loboga hahamoi bugisi bega: amogai dafulili bugisi.

3 And, when they of Ashdod rose early on the morrow and entered into the house of Dagon, they looked and lo! Dagon, was lying prostrate on his face to the earth, before the ark of Yahweh, —so they took Dagon and restored him to his place.

Amalu, golale hahabe, A:siedode dunu ilia ba: loba, ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone da muwane sa: ili, Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili mi dududi mi guduli gala: la asi dialebe ba: i. Amalalu ilia da lale, bu hi musa: dialua amogai bugisi.

4 And, when they rose up early in the morning of the morrow, lo! Dagon, was lying prostrate on his face to the earth, before the ark of Yahweh—and, the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, had been cut off against the threshold, only, Dagon himself, was left to him.

Amalu, bu golale hahabe ba: loba, ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone da bu muwane sa: ili, Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili midududi mi guduli muwane sa: i dialebe ba: i. Waha da gasa bagade, ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igone ea dialuma amola ea lobo aduna da elegalu dagale, dogona asili, logo holei gagili dasu amoga dialebe ba: i, be da: i hodo fawane dialebe ba: i.

5 For this cause, do not the priests of Dagon, nor any that enter into the house of Dagon, tread upon the threshold of Dagon, in Ashdod, —until this day.

(Wali amolawane, ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: igonema gobele salasu dunu amola ema fa: no bobogesu A: siedode dunu ilia waha da amola gagili dasu amoga ayale giadofale ahoa.)

6 Then was the hand of Yahweh heavy against them of Ashdod, and he astounded them, —and smote with tumours Ashdod and her bounds.

Gode da A: siedode fi ilima se dabe iasu amola da: i diosu ili beda: ma: ne bagadewane i. E da A: siedode fi amola ilia sisiga: le esalebe fi ili galu se nabima: ne, momahoi bagade iasi.

7 And, when the men of Ashdod saw that, so, it was, then kept they saying, Let not the ark of the God of Israel abide with us, for, hard, is his hand upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

A: siedode dunu ilia da se nabasu amo ilima doaga: i ba: loba, ilia da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili Gode da ninima amola ninia ‘gode’ Da: igonema se dabe iaha. Ninia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili guiwane hame dialoma: mu.”

8 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said—What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said: To Gath, let the ark of the God of Israel go round. So they took round the ark of the God of Israel.

Amaiba: le ilia da Filisidini fi hina bagade dunu biyale amo misa: ne adosisi. Amola ilima amane adole ba: i, “Ninia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amoga adi hamoma: bela: ?” Ilia amane sia: i, “Amo Isala: ili Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo Ga: de moilai bai bagadega gisa masa.” Amalalu, ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili, amo Ga: de moilai bai bagadega gisa asi.

9 And so it was, after they had taken it round, then was the hand of Yahweh against the city, with an exceeding great consternation, and he smote the men of the city, from the least, even unto the greatest, —and they brake out with tumours.

Be amo Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da doaga: le, Gode da Ga: de moilai bai bagade soge amoga se nabasu bagadedafa i. Amaiba: le momahoi amola bagade heda: le, goi dunu amola asigilai dunu, gilisili defele momadelai.

10 Then sent they the ark of God to Ekron, —and so it was, when the ark of God entered Ekron, that the Ekronites made outcry, saying—They have brought round unto me the ark of the God of Israel, to slay me, and my people!

Amaiba: le ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili eno Filisidini moilai bai bagade amo Egelone, amoga gisa asi, be amo Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da Egolonega amoi doaga: loba, dunu ilia da bagadewane udugia: dusa: i, “Ilia da nini bogogia: ma: ne, amo Isala: ili Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da wali ninima gisa misi dagoi!”

11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said—Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and restore it to its own place, that it slay not me, and my people. For there had come a deadly consternation, throughout all the city, heavy exceedingly, was the hand of God there.

Amaiba: le, ilia da Filisidini ouligisu dunu huluane misa: ne bu wele sia: i, amalu ilima amane sia: i, “Amo Isala: ili Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili hina: sogedafa amoga bu sinidigili, ililima iagama. Amasea, nini amola ninia sosogo fi da mae bogogia: ma: ne.” Be amomane moilai bai bagade amo ganodini ilia da bagadewane beda: i. Bai Gode da ilima se nabasu defele ianebeba: le.

12 And, the men who died not, were smitten with the tumours, —so the cry of the city for help, ascended the heavens.

Amola dunu se nabasu ilima doaga: i, be hame bogogia: i, ilima momahoi dialebe ba: i. Amola ilia da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ amo ili fidima: ne sia: ne gagadosu.
