1 Samuel 5

1 And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod,

Dia nalain’ ny Filistina ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra ka nentiny niala tany Ebenezera ho any Asdoda.

2 and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.

Ary nony efa azon’ ny Filistina ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, dia nentiny tao an-tranon’ i Dagona izy ka napetrany teo anilany.

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.

Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia nifoha maraina koa ny Asdodita, ka indro Dagona potraka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anoloan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; dia narenin’ ny olona izy ka napetrany teo amin’ ny fitoerany indray.

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;

Ary nony ampitson’ iny indray dia nifoha maraina koa ny olona, ka indro Dagona potraka niankohoka indray tamin’ ny tany teo anoloan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, ary tapaka teo amin’ ny tokonam-baravarana ny lohan’ i Dagona sy ny felatanany roa; fa ny tenabeny ihany no sisa

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.

(izany no tsy anitsahan’ ny mpisoron’ i Dagona, na izay miditra ao an-tranony, ny tokonam-baravaran’ i Dagona ao Asdoda mandraka androany).

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.

Ary navesatra tamin’ ny Asdodita ny tànan’ i Jehovah, fa nandringana azy Izy; ary nasiany vay ny tao Asdoda sy ny tamin’ ny fari-taniny rehetra.

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.'

Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mponina tao Asdoda fa nisy izany, dia hoy izy: Aza avela hitoetra eto amintsika ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; fa mavesatra amintsika sy amin’ i Dagona andriamanitsika ny tànany.

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;

Dia naniraka olona izy ka nanangona ireo andriana rehetra tamin’ ny Filistina hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Hataontsika ahoana ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely? Dia hoy ireo: Aoka hafindra hankany Gata ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely. Dia nafindrany ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

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.

Ary rehefa voafindrany ny fiara, dia namely ny tanàna ny tànan’ i Jehovah ka nampangorohoro azy indrindra, fa Izy namely ny mponina tao an-tanàna, na kely na lehibe, ka nisy vay nipoipoitra taminy.

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.'

Ary dia naterin’ ny olona nankany Ekrona ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra. Ary raha vao tonga tany Ekrona ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, dia nitaraina ny Ekronita nanao hoe: Efa nafindran’ ny olona ho atỳ amintsika ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely hahafaty antsika sy ny firenentsika.

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,

Dia naniraka olona izy ka nanangona ireo andriana rehetra tamin’ ny Filistina ka nanao hoe: Ampandehano ny fiaran’ ny Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ary aoka ho entina ho any amin’ ny fitoerany ihany indray izy mba tsy hahafaty antsika sy ny firenentsika; fa nanerana ny tanàna ny horohoron’ ny fahafatesana, fa navesatra indrindra tao ny tànan’ Andriamanitra.

12 and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.

Ary ny olona izay tsy maty dia voan’ ny vay kosa, ka ny fitarainan’ ny tao an-tanàna dia niakatra ho any an-danitra.
