I Samuela 5
1 LAWE aku la ko Pilisetia i ka pahu o ke Akua, a halihali aku la mai Ebenezera aku a hiki i Asedoda.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.
2 A lawe ae la ko Pilisetia i ka pahu o ke Akua, a hali aku la iloko o ka hale o Dagona, a waiho ma ka aoao o Dagona.
And the Philistines took the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Ia la iho, ala ae la ko Asedoda i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, ua hina iho la o Dagona ilalo ke alo ma ka honua imua o ka pahu o Iehova. Lawe aku la lakou ia Dagona, a hooku hou ia ia ma kona wahi.
And the people of Azotus rose early, and entered into the house of Dagon; and looked, and behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the Lord: and they lifted up Dagon, and set him in his place. And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and he struck them in their secret parts, Azotus and her coasts.
4 A ia la ae, ala hou ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, ua hina iho la o Dagona ilalo ke alo ma ka honua imua o ka pahu o Iehova; a o ke poo o Dagona, a me kona mau lima elua, ua hemo ma ka paepae, a o ka ia wale no i koe ia ia.
And it came to pass when they rose early in the morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off each before the threshold, and both the wrists of his hands had fallen on the floor of the porch; only the stump of Dagon was left.
5 No ia mea, o na kahuna a Dagona, a me na mea a pau e hele maloko o ka hale o Dagona, aole lakou e hehi maluna o ka paepae o Dagona ma Asedoda, a hiki i keia wa.
Therefore the priests of Dagon, and every one that enters into the house of Dagon, do not tread upon the threshold of the house of Dagon in Azotus until this day, for they step over.
6 A ua kaumaha ka lima o Iehova maluna o ko Asedoda, a luku mai oia ia lakou, a hahau mai ia lakou i ka mai hikoko, i ko Asedoda a me ko laila wahi a puni.
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon Azotus, and he brought evil upon them, and it burst out upon them into the ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their country, and there was a great and indiscriminate mortality in the city.
7 A ike aku la na kanaka o Asedoda i ka mea i hanaia pela, i ae la lakou, Aole e noho me kakou ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela: no ka mea, ua kaumaha kona lima maluna o kakou, a maluna o Dagona ko kakou akua.
And the men of Azotus saw that [it was] so, and they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us, for his hand [is] heavy upon us and upon Dagon our god.
8 Hoouna aku la lakou e houluulu i na haku a pau o ko Pilisetia io lakou la, ninau aku la ia lakou, Heaha ka makou e hana aku ai i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela? I mai la lakou, E laweia'ku ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma Gata. A lawe aku la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela ilaila.
And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines to them, and say, What shall we do to the ark of the God of Israel? and the Gittites say, Let the ark of God come over to us; and the ark of the God of Israel came to Geth.
9 A mahope o ka lakou lawe ana ku ia mea malaila, ku e mai la ka lima o Iehova i ua kulanakauhale la me ka luku nui loa; a hahau mai ia i ua kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, i ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui, a poha iho la ko lakou puupuu koko.
And it came to pass after it went about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city small and great, and struck them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves images of tumours.
10 No ia mea, lawe aku la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua i Ekerona. A hiki aku la ka pahu o ke Akua ma Ekerona, auwe iho la ko Ekerona, i ka i ana ae, Ua lawe mai lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela io kakou nei e pepehi ia kakou a me ko kakou poe kanaka.
And they send away the ark of God to Ascalon; and it came to pass when the ark of God went into Ascalon, that the men of Ascalon cried out, saying, Why have you brought back the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?
11 No ia hoi, hoouna aku la lakou e houluulu i na haku a pau o ko Pilisetia, i aku la, E lawe aku i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a e hoihoi aku ma kona wahi, i ole ai ia e pepehi mai ia makou a me ko makou poe kanaka: no ka mea, he make nui ma ke kulanakauhale a pau; ua kaumaha loa ka lima o ke Akua malaila.
And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it lodge in its place; and let it not kill us and our people.
12 A o na kanaka aole i make, loohia lakou e ka mai hikoko; a pii ae la ka uwe o ua kulanakauhale la i ka lani.
For there was a very great confusion in all the city, when the ark of the God of Israel entered there; and those, who lived and died not were struck with tumours; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
