< 1 Samuel 5 >
1 And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod,
Alò, Filisten yo te pran lach Bondye a e yo te mennen li soti Ében-Ézer pou rive Asdod.
2 and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.
Filisten yo te pran lach Bondye a, yo te mennen li lakay Dagon e yo te poze li akote Dagon.
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.
Lè Asdodyen yo te leve granmmaten an, veye byen, Dagon te tonbe atè sou figi li devan lach SENYÈ a. Konsa, yo pran Dagon e mete li nan plas li ankò.
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;
Men lè yo te leve bonè granmmaten, vwala, Dagon te tonbe atè sou figi li devan lach SENYÈ a. Konsa, tèt Dagon an avèk toude pla men l te koupe atè sou papòt la; se sèl twòn kò Dagon an ki te rete sou li.
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.
Akoz sa, ni prèt Dagon yo ni tout moun ki antre lakay Dagon nan Asdod jis rive jodi a, pa janm foule pye yo nan papòt Dagon an.
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.
Alò men SENYÈ a te lou sou Asdodyen yo. Li te fè yo vin dezole e te frape yo avèk gwo boul bouton, ni Asdod, ni teritwa li yo.
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.'
Lè Mesye Asdod yo te wè ke sa te konsa, yo te di: “Fòk lach Bondye Israël la pa rete pami nou. Paske men Li lou sou nou ak sou Dagon, dye pa nou an.”
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;
Konsa, yo te voye ranmase tout prens Filisten yo kote yo, e te di: “Kisa nou dwe fè avèk lach Bondye Israël la?” Yo te reponn: “Kite lach Bondye Israël la pote rive ozanviwon Gath.” Konsa, yo te pote lach Bondye Israël la rive.
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.
Lè yo te fin pote li rive, men SENYÈ a te vin kont vil la avèk gwo boulvèsman. Li te frape Mesye lavil yo, ni jenn, ni granmoun jiskaske gwo boul bouton yo te vin pete sou yo.
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.'
Konsa yo te voye lach Bondye a nan Ékron. Epi pandan lach Bondye a te rive nan Ékron, Ekwonyen yo te kriye fò. Yo te di: “Yo vin pote Bondye Israël la bò kote nou pou touye nou avèk pèp nou an.”
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,
Pou sa, yo te voye rasanble tout prens a Filisten yo, e te di: “Voye lach Bondye Israël la ale. Kite li retounen nan pwòp plas li, pou li pa touye nou avèk pèp nou an.” Paske te genyen yon gwo boulvèsman ki t ap mennen lanmò toupatou nan vil la. Men SENYÈ a te lou kote sa a.
12 and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.
Epi Mesye ki pa t mouri yo te frape avèk gwo boul bouton yo, e gwo kri lavil la te monte jis rive nan syèl la.
