1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had taken God’s ark, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Filistinnaw ni BAWIPA e thingkong hah a la awh hnukkhu, Ebenezer kho hoi Asdod kho vah a ceikhai awh.
2 The Philistines took God’s ark, and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.
BAWIPA e thingkong hah Dagon Bawkim thung a kâenkhai awh teh, Dagon meikaphawk teng a hruek awh.
3 When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark. They took Dagon and set him in his place again.
Asdod taminaw amom vah a thaw awh toteh, khenhaw! BAWIPA thingkong hmalah Dagon pakhup lah talai dawk a rawp e a hmu awh teh, Dagon teh amae hmuen koe bout a hruek awh.
4 When they arose early on the following morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.
Atangtho amom a thaw awh toteh, Dagon pakhup lah talai dawk a rawp e a hmu awh teh, Dagon teh amae hmuen koe bout a hruek awh.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
Hatdawkvah, Asdod kho dawk sahnin totouh Dagon e vaihmanaw, Dagon imthung kâen buet touh ni hai Dagon im e longkha teh atu totouh coungroe ngam awh hoeh toe.
6 But the LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.
BAWIPA ni Asdod khocanaw lathueng a kut ka ri e a toung. Asdod kho hoi hote kho teng kaawm e taminaw hah tak pâphu patawnae lahoi runae a poe teh moi a pathung.
7 When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god.”
Asdodnaw ni hot patetlah e hno kaawm e hah a hmu awh navah Isarelnaw e Cathut thingkong kaimouh koe pou awm hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh hoi Cathut Dagon lathueng kut a toung e a patawpoung telah ati awh.
8 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
Taminaw a patoun awh teh, Filistin siangpahrangnaw a kamkhueng sak awh teh, Isarelnaw e Cathut e thingkong hah bangtelamaw ti han telah a pacei awh navah, siangpahrangnaw ni Isarelnaw e Cathut thingkong hah Gath kho lah cetkhai awh naseh ati awh teh thingkong hah a ceikhai awh.
9 It was so, that after they had carried it there, the LORD’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on them.
A ceikhai awh hnukkhu hote khopui dawk BAWIPA ni kut a toung teh tami pueng lungthin a tâlueng sak. Khoca kathoung kalennaw koe totouh pâphu patawnae teh a pha sak.
10 So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill us and our people.”
Hatdawkvah, Cathut e thingkong hah Ekron kho lah a patoun awh. BAWIPA e thingkong teh Ekron kho a pha toteh a khocanaw ni Isarelnaw e Cathut e thingkong hah maimouh hoi taminaw due sak hanelah a pha sak awh toe telah a hram awh.
11 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there.
Tami a patoun awh teh, Filistin siangpahrangnaw a kamkhueng sak awh teh, ahnimouh ni maimouh hoi taminaw a due sak hoeh nahan Isarelnaw e Cathut e thingkong hah patoun awh lawih. Ama a onae hmuen koe bout tat awh lawih telah a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e a kut karipoung e maimouh koe phat vaiteh, khopui thungvah due kawi patawnae a pha han.
12 The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Ka dout hoeh rae naw teh tak pâphunae ni a tho sin teh khopui hram lawk kalvan totouh a pha.
