< 1 Samuel 5 >

1 And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in 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 and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.
非利士人将 神的约柜抬进大衮庙,放在大衮的旁边。
3 And the Ashdodites rise early on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah; and they take Dagon, and put it back to its place.
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 they rise early in the morning on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah, and the head of Dagon, and the two palms of its hands are cut off at the threshold, only the fishy part hath been 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 the priests of Dagon, and all those coming into the house of Dagon, tread not on the threshold of Dagon, in Ashdod, till 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 And the hand of Jehovah is heavy on the Ashdodites, and He maketh them desolate, and smiteth them with emerods, 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 the men of Ashdod see that [it is] so, and have said, 'The ark of the God of Israel doth not abide with us, for hard hath been His hand 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 And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines unto them, and say, 'What do we do to the ark of the God of Israel?' and they say, 'To Gath let the ark of the God of Israel be brought round;' and they bring round the ark of the God of Israel;
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 cometh to pass after they have brought it round, that the hand of Jehovah is against the city — a very great destruction; and He smiteth the men of the city, from small even unto great; and break forth on them do emerods.
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 And they send the ark of God to Ekron, and it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of God to Ekron, that the Ekronites cry out, saying, 'They have brought round unto us the ark of the God of Israel, to put us to death — 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 And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines, and say, 'Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and it turneth back to its place, and it doth not put us to death — and our people;' for there hath been a deadly destruction throughout all the city, very heavy hath the hand of God been 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 who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.
未曾死的人都生了痔疮。合城呼号,声音上达于天。
