< 1 Samuel 5 >
1 Forsothe Filisteis token the arke of God, and baren awey it fro the stoon of help in to Azotus.
非利士人將上帝的約櫃從以便以謝抬到亞實突。
2 And Filisteis tokun the arke of God, and brouyten it to the temple of Dagon, and settiden it bisidis Dagon.
非利士人將上帝的約櫃抬進大袞廟,放在大袞的旁邊。
3 And whanne men of Azotus hadden rise eerli in the todir dai, lo! Dagon lay low in the erthe bifor the arke of the Lord. And thei token Dagon, and restoriden hym in his place.
次日清早,亞實突人起來,見大袞仆倒在耶和華的約櫃前,臉伏於地,就把大袞仍立在原處。
4 And eft thei risiden eerli in the tothir day, and founden Dagon liggynge on his face on the erthe bifor the arke of the Lord. Forsothe the heed of Dagon, and twei pawmes of his hondis weren kit of on the threisfold;
又次日清早起來,見大袞仆倒在耶和華的約櫃前,臉伏於地,並且大袞的頭和兩手都在門檻上折斷,只剩下大袞的殘體。(
5 certis the stok aloone of Dagon lefte in his place. For this cause the preestis of Dagon, and alle that entren in to his temple, treden not on the threisfold of Dagon in Azotus til in to this dai.
因此,大袞的祭司和一切進亞實突、大袞廟的人都不踏大袞廟的門檻,直到今日。)
6 Forsothe the hond of the Lord was maad greuouse on men of Azotus, and he distriede hem, and he smoot Azotus and the coostis therof in the priuyere part of buttokis; and townes and feeldis in the myddis of that cuntrey buyliden out, and myis camen forth; and greet confusioun of deth was maad in the citee.
耶和華的手重重加在亞實突人身上,敗壞他們,使他們生痔瘡。亞實突和亞實突的四境都是如此。
7 Sotheli men of Azotus sien siche a veniaunce, and seiden, The arke of God of Israel dwelle not at vs; for his hond is hard on vs, and on Dagon oure god.
亞實突人見這光景,就說:「以色列上帝的約櫃不可留在我們這裏,因為他的手重重加在我們和我們神大袞的身上」;
8 And thei senten, and gaderiden alle the wise men, `ether princes, of Filisteis `to hem, and seiden, What schulen we do of the arke of God of Israel? And men of Geth answeriden, The arke of God of Israel be led aboute; and thei ledden aboute the arke of God of Israel.
就打發人去請非利士的眾首領來聚集,問他們說:「我們向以色列上帝的約櫃應當怎樣行呢?」他們回答說:「可以將以色列上帝的約櫃運到迦特去。」於是將以色列上帝的約櫃運到那裏去。
9 Forsothe while thei ledden it aboute, the hond of the Lord `of ful greet sleyng was maad on alle citees; and he smoot men of ech citee fro a litil man til to `the more, and the lowere entraylis `of hem wexiden rotun, and camen forth; and men of Geth token counsel, and maden to hem seetis of skynnes, ethir cuyschuns.
運到之後,耶和華的手攻擊那城,使那城的人大大驚慌,無論大小都生痔瘡。
10 Therfor thei senten the arke of the Lord in to Accoron. And whanne the arke of the Lord hadde come in to Accoron, men of Accoron crieden, and seiden, Thei han brought to vs the arke of God of Israel, that he sle vs and oure puple.
他們就把上帝的約櫃送到以革倫。上帝的約櫃到了,以革倫人就喊嚷起來說:「他們將以色列上帝的約櫃運到我們這裏,要害我們和我們的眾民!」
11 Therfor thei senten, and gaderiden alle the wise men, `ethir princes, of Filisteis; whiche seiden, Delyuere ye the arke of God of Israel, and turne it ayen in to his place, and sle not vs with oure puple.
於是打發人去請非利士的眾首領來,說:「願你們將以色列上帝的約櫃送回原處,免得害了我們和我們的眾民!」原來上帝的手重重攻擊那城,城中的人有因驚慌而死的;
12 For dreed of deeth was maad in alle citees, and the hond of the Lord was `greuouse greetli. Also the men, that weren not deed, weren smytun in the priuy part of buttokis, and the yelling of ech citee stiede in to heuene.
未曾死的人都生了痔瘡。合城呼號,聲音上達於天。
