< 1 Samuel 5 >

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
非利士人将 神的约柜从以便以谢抬到亚实突。
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
非利士人将 神的约柜抬进大衮庙,放在大衮的旁边。
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.
次日清早,亚实突人起来,见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前,脸伏于地,就把大衮仍立在原处。
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.
又次日清早起来,见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前,脸伏于地,并且大衮的头和两手都在门槛上折断,只剩下大衮的残体。(
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.
因此,大衮的祭司和一切进亚实突、大衮庙的人都不踏大衮庙的门槛,直到今日。)
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.
耶和华的手重重加在亚实突人身上,败坏他们,使他们生痔疮。亚实突和亚实突的四境都是如此。
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.
亚实突人见这光景,就说:“以色列 神的约柜不可留在我们这里,因为他的手重重加在我们和我们神大衮的身上”;
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].
就打发人去请非利士的众首领来聚集,问他们说:“我们向以色列 神的约柜应当怎样行呢?”他们回答说:“可以将以色列 神的约柜运到迦特去。”于是将以色列 神的约柜运到那里去。
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.
运到之后,耶和华的手攻击那城,使那城的人大大惊慌,无论大小都生痔疮。
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.
他们就把 神的约柜送到以革伦。 神的约柜到了,以革伦人就喊嚷起来说:“他们将以色列 神的约柜运到我们这里,要害我们和我们的众民!”
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.
于是打发人去请非利士的众首领来,说:“愿你们将以色列 神的约柜送回原处,免得害了我们和我们的众民!”原来 神的手重重攻击那城,城中的人有因惊慌而死的;
12 And the men that died not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
未曾死的人都生了痔疮。合城呼号,声音上达于天。
