1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
И взяша иноплеменницы кивот Божий и изнесоша его от Авенезера во Азот:
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
и взяша иноплеменницы кивот Господень и внесоша его в храм Дагонов, и поставиша его близ Дагона.
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.
И обутреневаша Азотяне наутрие и внидоша в храм Дагонов: и увидеша, и се, Дагон паде на землю на лице свое пред кивотом Божиим. И воздвигоша Дагона, и поставиша его на месте своем.
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.
И бысть егда восташа заутра, и се, Дагон лежаше лицем на земли пред кивотом завета Господня: глава же Дагонова и обе плесне ног его отяты на празе особо каяждо, и обе длани рук его лежаще при дверех, точию труп Дагонов остася.
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.
Того ради не вступают жерцы Дагоновы и вси входящии в храм Дагонов на праг дому Дагонова во Азоте даже до дне сего: яко преступающе преступают.
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.
И отяготе рука Господня на Азоте, и наведе на них, и воскипе им на седалищах их, во Азоте и в пределех Его, и посреде страны его умножишася мышы: и бысть смущение смерти велико во граде.
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.
И видеша мужие Азотстии, яко тако (бысть), и глаголаша: яко не пребудет кивот Бога Израилева с нами, яко жестока рука Его на ны и на Дагона бога нашего.
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].
И пославше собраша воевод иноплеменничих к себе и глаголаша: что сотворим кивоту Бога Израилева? И реша Гефее: да прейдет кивот Бога Израилева к нам в Геф. И прейде кивот Бога Израилева в Геф.
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.
И бысть по прешествии его, и бысть рука Господня на граде, мятеж велий зело: и порази мужы града от мала до велика, и порази их на седалищах их. И сотвориша Гефее себе седалища (злата),
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.
и отпустиша кивот Божий во Аскалон. И бысть егда вниде кивот Бога Израилева во Аскалон, и возопиша Аскалонитяне глаголюще: почто возвратисте кивот Бога Израилева к нам, уморити ны и люди нашя?
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.
И послаша и собраша вся воеводы иноплеменничи и реша: отпустите кивот Бога Израилева, и да поставится на месте своем, и да не уморит нас и людий наших. Яко бысть мятеж смерти во всем граде тяжек зело, егда вниде кивот Бога Израилева тамо.
12 And the men that died not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
И живущии и не умершии уязвишася на седалищах, и взыде вопль града до небесе.
