< 1 Samuel 5 >
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Alò, Filisten yo te pran lach Bondye a e yo te mennen li soti Ében-Ézer pou rive Asdod.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Filisten yo te pran lach Bondye a, yo te mennen li lakay Dagon e yo te poze li akote Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
Lè Asdodyen yo te leve granmmaten an, veye byen, Dagon te tonbe atè sou figi li devan lach SENYÈ a. Konsa, yo pran Dagon e mete li nan plas li ankò.
4 And when they arose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
Men lè yo te leve bonè granmmaten, vwala, Dagon te tonbe atè sou figi li devan lach SENYÈ a. Konsa, tèt Dagon an avèk toude pla men l te koupe atè sou papòt la; se sèl twòn kò Dagon an ki te rete sou li.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
Akoz sa, ni prèt Dagon yo ni tout moun ki antre lakay Dagon nan Asdod jis rive jodi a, pa janm foule pye yo nan papòt Dagon an.
6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with haemorrhoids, even Ashdod and its land.
Alò men SENYÈ a te lou sou Asdodyen yo. Li te fè yo vin dezole e te frape yo avèk gwo boul bouton, ni Asdod, ni teritwa li yo.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
Lè Mesye Asdod yo te wè ke sa te konsa, yo te di: “Fòk lach Bondye Israël la pa rete pami nou. Paske men Li lou sou nou ak sou Dagon, dye pa nou an.”
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
Konsa, yo te voye ranmase tout prens Filisten yo kote yo, e te di: “Kisa nou dwe fè avèk lach Bondye Israël la?” Yo te reponn: “Kite lach Bondye Israël la pote rive ozanviwon Gath.” Konsa, yo te pote lach Bondye Israël la rive.
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it there, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had haemorrhoids in their secret parts.
Lè yo te fin pote li rive, men SENYÈ a te vin kont vil la avèk gwo boulvèsman. Li te frape Mesye lavil yo, ni jenn, ni granmoun jiskaske gwo boul bouton yo te vin pete sou yo.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
Konsa yo te voye lach Bondye a nan Ékron. Epi pandan lach Bondye a te rive nan Ékron, Ekwonyen yo te kriye fò. Yo te di: “Yo vin pote Bondye Israël la bò kote nou pou touye nou avèk pèp nou an.”
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 let it go again to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
Pou sa, yo te voye rasanble tout prens a Filisten yo, e te di: “Voye lach Bondye Israël la ale. Kite li retounen nan pwòp plas li, pou li pa touye nou avèk pèp nou an.” Paske te genyen yon gwo boulvèsman ki t ap mennen lanmò toupatou nan vil la. Men SENYÈ a te lou kote sa a.
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the haemorrhoids: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Epi Mesye ki pa t mouri yo te frape avèk gwo boul bouton yo, e gwo kri lavil la te monte jis rive nan syèl la.
