< 1 Samuel 5 >
1 And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod,
ペリシテ人神の櫃をとりて之をエベネゼルよりアシドドにもちきたる
2 and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.
即ちペリシテ人神の櫃をとりて之をダゴンの家にもちきたりダゴンの傍に置ぬ
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.
アシドド人次の日夙く興きヱホバの櫃のまへにダゴンの俯伏に地にたふれをるをみ乃ちダゴンをとりて再びこれを本の處におく
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;
また翌朝夙く興きヱホバの櫃のまへにダゴン俯伏に地にたふれをるを見るダゴンの頭と其兩手門閾のうへに斷ち切れをり只ダゴンの體のみのこれり
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.
是をもてダゴンの祭司およびダゴンの家にいるもの今日にいたるまでアシドドにあるダゴンの閾をふまず
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.
かくてヱホバの手おもくアシドド人にくははりヱホバこれをほろぼし腫物をもてアシドドおよび其四周の人をくるしめたまふ
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.'
アシドド人その斯るを見ていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃を我らのうちにとどむべからず其は其手いたくわれらおよび我らの神ダゴンにくははればなり
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;
是故に人をつかはしてペリシテ人の諸君主を集めていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をいかにすべきや彼らいひけるはイスラエルの神のはこはガテに移さんと遂にイスラエルの神のはこをうつす
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.
之をうつせるのち神の手其邑にくははりて滅亡るもの甚だおほし即ち老たると幼とをいはず邑の人をうちたまひて腫物人々におこれり
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.'
是において神のはこをエクロンにおくりたるに神の櫃エクロンにいたりしときエクロン人さけびていひけるは我等とわが民をころさんとてイスラエルの神のはこを我等にうつすと
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,
かくて人を遣してペリシテ人の諸君主をあつめていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をおくりて本のところにかへさん然らば我等とわが民をころすことなからん蓋は邑中に恐ろしき滅亡おこり神の手甚だおもく其處にくははればなり
12 and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.
死なざる者は腫物にくるしめられ邑の號呼天に達せり
