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.

Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

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.

The Philistines took it, 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 Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.

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 happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.

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 neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.

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.

But the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death 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.

When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of God shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on 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.

So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of God?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of God be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.

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 about that after they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.

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.

So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "Why have you brought about 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 sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a panic throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.

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.

The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
