1 Samyèl 5
1 Lè moun Filisti yo sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a bò lavil Ebenezè, yo pote l' ale lavil Asdòd.
And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod,
2 Yo antre avè l' nan tanp Dagon, bondye pa yo a. Yo mete l' sou kote estati Dagon an.
and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.
3 Nan denmen maten byen bonè, lè moun lavil Asdòd yo leve, yo wè estati Dagon an te tonbe fas atè devan Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Yo pran estati Dagon an, yo mete l' kanpe nan plas li ankò.
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.
4 Nan denmen ankò lè yo leve nan maten, yo wè estati Dagon an te tonbe fas atè devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a. Tèt li ak de bra l' yo te kraze, yo te sou papòt tanp lan. Se rès kò a ase ki te rete.
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;
5 Se poutèt sa, jouk koulye a, ni prèt Dagon yo ni moun k'ap antre nan tanp Dagon an lavil Asdòd, lè yo rive devan pòtay la, yo sote papòt la, yo pa janm pile li.
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.
6 Seyè a t'ap manyen ak pèp lavil Asdòd la, li te mete yo vant ba. Li fè yon bann gwo bouton soti sou yo ak sou moun ki t'ap viv nan vwazinaj lavil la.
And the hand of Jehovah is heavy on the Ashdodites, and He maketh them desolate, and smiteth them with emerods, Ashdod and its borders.
7 Lè moun lavil Asdòd yo wè sa ki te rive yo a, yo di: -Pa kite Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la nan mitan nou ankò! Se pa ti kras kale l'ap kale Dagon, zidòl nou an, ansanm ak nou.
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.'
8 Se konsa yo voye chache senk chèf moun Filisti yo, epi yo di yo: -Kisa pou nou fè ak Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la? Chèf yo reponn: -Pote l' ale lavil Gat. Se konsa yo pote Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la lavil Gat.
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;
9 Men, lè Bwat Kontra a rive la, Seyè a manyen ak moun lavil la. Li fè yon sèl kouri pete nan lavil la. Bondye pini yo, li voye yon kalite gwo bouton ki leve sou tout kò moun lavil la, timoun kou granmoun.
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.
10 Se konsa yo voye Bwat Kontra a lavil Ekwon. Rive li rive la, moun yo pran rele: -Men yo pote Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la lakay nou. Se touye yo vle touye tout moun isit la!
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.'
11 Yo fè chache senk chèf moun Filisti yo. Yo di yo: -Voye Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la tounen nan plas li, pou li pa touye tout moun isit yo. Tout lavil la te tèt anba, moun t'ap mouri paske Seyè a t'ap manyen rèd ak yo.
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,
12 Sa ki pa t' mouri yo te gen tout kò yo kouvri ak bouton. Tout moun t'ap rele mande bondye pa yo sekou.
and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.
