1 Samuel 5

1 And [the] Philistines they took [the] ark of God and they brought it from Eben-ezer Ashdod towards.

Setelah orang Filistin merebut Peti Perjanjian Allah, mereka membawanya dari Eben-Haezer ke kota mereka, Asdod.

2 And they took [the] Philistines [the] ark of God and they brought it [the] house of Dagon and they placed it beside Dagon.

Di situ peti itu dibawa masuk ke kuil dewa mereka, Dagon, dan diletakkan di samping patung dewa itu.

3 And they rose early [the] Ashdodites from [the] next day and there! Dagon [was] fallen to face its [the] ground towards before [the] ark of Yahweh and they took Dagon and they returned it to place its.

Ketika penduduk Asdod besoknya pagi-pagi datang ke kuil itu, mereka melihat bahwa patung Dagon telah jatuh tertelungkup di tanah, di depan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN! Mereka mengangkat patung itu dan mengembalikannya ke tempatnya.

4 And they rose early in the morning from [the] next day and there! Dagon [was] fallen to face its [the] ground towards before [the] ark of Yahweh and [the] head of Dagon and [the] two - [the] palms of hands its were cut off to the threshold only Dagon it remained on it.

Tetapi keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, mereka melihat bahwa patung itu sudah jatuh lagi di depan Peti Perjanjian itu. Kali ini kepala patung itu dan kedua lengannya terpenggal dan terletak di ambang pintu; hanya badan patung itu yang masih utuh.

5 There-fore not they tread [the] priests of Dagon and all those [who] go [the] house of Dagon on [the] threshold of Dagon in Ashdod until the day this.

(Itulah sebabnya, sampai hari ini para imam dewa Dagon dan semua penyembahnya di Asdod melangkahi ambang pintu kuil Dagon itu dan tidak menginjaknya.)

6 And it was heavy [the] hand of Yahweh against the Ashdodites and he devastated them and he struck them (with tumors *Q(K)*) Ashdod and territories its.

Kemudian TUHAN menghukum penduduk Asdod dan daerah sekitarnya dengan benjol-benjol pada tubuh mereka.

7 And they saw [the] people of Ashdod that so and they said not it will remain [the] ark of [the] God of Israel with us for it is hard hand his on us and on Dagon God our.

Ketika mereka melihat apa yang sedang terjadi pada mereka itu, mereka berkata, "Allah Israel menghukum kita dan dewa kita Dagon. Kita tidak boleh membiarkan Peti Perjanjian-Nya tinggal di sini lebih lama lagi."

8 And they sent and they gathered all [the] rulers of [the] Philistines to them and they said what? will we do to [the] ark of [the] God of Israel and they said Gath let it go round [the] ark of [the] God of Israel and they brought round [the] ark of [the] God of Israel.

Sebab itu mereka mengundang kelima raja Filistin supaya berkumpul, lalu bertanya, "Peti Perjanjian Allah Israel itu harus kita apakan?" Jawab raja-raja itu, "Pindahkanlah ke kota Gat." Jadi, peti itu dipindahkan ke kota Gat, sebuah kota Filistin yang lain.

9 And it was after - they had brought round it and it was [the] hand of Yahweh - on the city panic great exceedingly and he struck [the] men of the city from young and unto [the] old and they broke out to them (tumors. *Q(K)*)

Tetapi setelah peti itu sampai di situ, TUHAN menghukum kota itu pula dan menimbulkan kegemparan yang sangat besar. Penduduk kota itu, baik yang muda maupun yang tua dihukum dengan benjol-benjol yang tumbuh pada tubuh mereka.

10 And they sent [the] ark of God Ekron and it was when went [the] ark of God Ekron and they cried out the Ekronites saying they have brought round to me [the] ark of [the] God of Israel to kill me and people my.

Lalu Peti Perjanjian itu diantarkan ke Ekron, kota Filistin yang lain lagi. Setibanya peti itu di situ, penduduknya berteriak, katanya, "Peti Perjanjian Allah Israel itu dibawa ke mari untuk membunuh kita semua."

11 And they sent and they gathered all [the] rulers of [the] Philistines and they said send away [the] ark of [the] God of Israel so may it return to own place its and not it will kill me and people my for it was panic of death in all the city it was heavy exceedingly [the] hand of God there.

Sebab itu mereka memanggil semua raja Filistin supaya berkumpul, lalu berkata, "Kembalikanlah Peti Perjanjian Allah Israel itu ke tempatnya semula supaya jangan dibunuhnya kita dan keluarga kita." Di seluruh kota terjadi kegemparan karena Allah menghukum penduduknya dengan sangat berat.

12 And the men who not they died they were struck (with the tumors *Q(K)*) and it went up [the] cry for help of the city the heavens.

Orang-orang yang tidak mati, ditimpa penyakit benjol-benjol itu, sehingga penduduk kota itu berteriak kepada dewa-dewa mereka, meminta tolong.
