1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
| وَأَخَذَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ تَابُوتَ اللهِ وَنَقَلُوهُ مِنْ حَجَرِ الْمَعُونَةِ إِلَى أَشْدُودَ، | ١ |
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
| ثُمَّ أَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى مَعْبَدِ دَاجُونَ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَوَضَعُوهُ إِلَى جِوَارِهِ. | ٢ |
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, 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.
| وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي وَجَدَ أَهْلُ أَشْدُودَ صَنَمَ إِلَهِهِمْ دَاجُونَ مَطْرُوحاً عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، فَرَفَعُوهُ وَأَقَامُوهُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ. | ٣ |
4 And when they arose early on the morrow 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 threshhold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.
| وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي عَثَرُوا عَلَى صَنَمِ دَاجُونَ مَطْرُوحاً عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، وَرَأْسُهُ وَيَدَاهُ مَقْطُوعَةٌ وَمُلْقَاةٌ عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُ سِوَى جِسْمِ السَّمَكَةِ. | ٤ |
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshhold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
| لِذَلِكَ لَا يَطَأُ كَهَنَةُ دَاجُونَ وَسَائِرُ الدَّاخِلِينَ إِلَى مَعْبَدِ دَاجُونَ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ الْمَعْبَدِ فِي أَشْدُودَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٥ |
6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] Ashdod, and its borders.
| ثُمَّ ثَقُلَتْ وَطْأَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الأَشْدُودِيِّينَ وَالْقُرَى الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِمْ، فَأَصَابَهُمُ الْخَرَابُ، وَبَلاهُمْ بِالْبَوَاسِيرِ. | ٦ |
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 severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَبَيَّنَ أَهْلُ أَشْدُودَ مَا يَجْرِي قَالُوا: «لا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَمْكُثَ تَابُوتُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَنَا، لأَنَّ وَطْأَةَ يَدِهِ قَدْ قَسَتْ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى دَاجُونَ إِلَهِنَا». | ٧ |
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 [thither].
| فَاسْتَدْعَوْا أَقْطَابَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ جَمِيعَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «مَاذَا نَصْنَعُ بِتَابُوتِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَأَجَابُوهُمْ: «انْقُلُوهُ إِلَى جَتَّ». وَعِنْدَمَا نَقَلُوا تَابُوتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى جَتَّ، | ٨ |
9 And it was [so], that after they had carried it thither, 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 emerods in their secret parts.
| عَاقَبَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَصَابَ أَهْلَهَا اضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدّاً، وَتَفَشَّى فِي صَغِيرِهِمْ وَكَبِيرِهِمْ دَاءُ الْبَوَاسِيرِ. | ٩ |
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.
| فَأَرْسَلُوا تَابُوتَ اللهِ إِلَى عَقْرُونَ. وَمَا إِنْ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى صَرَخَ أَهْلُ عَقْرُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ نَقَلُوا إِلَيْنَا تَابُوتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِكَيْ يَقْضُوا عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى شَعْبِنَا». | ١٠ |
11 So they sent and convened 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.
| فَبَعَثُوا وَاسْتَدْعَوْا أَقْطَابَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَقَالُوا: «أَعِيدُوا تَابُوتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ وَلا يُفْنِيَنَا نَحْنُ وَشَعْبَنَا»؛ لأَنَّ الْمَوْتَ قَدْ مَلأَ الْمَدِينَةَ بِالرُّعْبِ، إذْ صَارَتْ وَطْأَةُ يَدِ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَقِيلَةً جِدّاً، | ١١ |
12 And the men that died not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
| وَمَنْ لَمْ يَمُتْ مِنَ النَّاسِ تَفَشَّتْ فِيهِمُ الْبَوَاسِيرُ، فَارْتَفَعَ صُرَاخُ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى عَنَانِ السَّمَاءِ. | ١٢ |
