I Samuel 5
1 Ita, inagaw dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, ket manipud Ebenezer, impanda daytoy idiay Asdod.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus.
2 Innala dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, impanda iti balay ni Dagon, ket inyabayda daytoy iti estatua ni Dagon.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Iti kabigatanna a nasapa a bimmangon dagiti tattao iti Asdod, nakitada a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Isu nga innalada ti estatua ni Dagon ket insublida manen iti sigud nga ayanna.
And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place.
4 Ngem idi nasapada a bimmangon iti kabigatanna, nakitada manen a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Naisina ti ulona ken dagiti imana ken naiwara dagitoy iti pagserkan. Ti laeng bagi ti estatua ni Dagon ti saan a naan-anu.
And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold:
5 Daytoy ti gapuna nga uray kadagitoy nga aldaw, ket saan a bumaddek iti pagserkan ti balayna idiay Asdod dagiti papadi ni Dagon ken siasinoman a mapan iti balayna.
And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day.
6 Nadagsen ti ima ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Asdod. Dinadael ken pinarigatna ida babaen kadagiti letteg, ti Asdod ken dagiti masakupanna.
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city.
7 Idi maamiris dagiti tattao ti Asdod ti mapaspasamak, kinunada, “Rumbeng a saan nga agtalinaed kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel, gapu ta napalalo ti panangdusdusana kadatayo ken ni Dagon a diostayo.”
And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidentayo iti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel?” Insungbatda, “Ipanyo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel idiay Gat.” Ket impanda sadiay ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel.
And sending, they gathered together all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said: What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And the Gethrites answered: Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about.
9 Ngem kalpasan a naipanda daytoy, dinusa ni Yahweh ti siudad, a nangparnuay iti napalalo unay a pannakariribuk. Pinarigatna dagiti tattao iti siudad, dagiti ubbing ken nataengan; ket naglettegda.
And while they were carrying it about, the band of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethrites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins.
10 Isu nga impatulodda ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron. Ngem apaman a nakadanon ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron, impukkaw dagiti Ekronita, a kunada, “Inyegda kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel tapno patayennatayo ken dagiti tattaotayo.”
Therefore they sent the ark of God into Accaron. And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.
11 Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ipanawyo ti lakasa ti Dios ti Israel, ket isubliyo iti sigud nga ayanna, tapno saannatayo a papatayen ken dagiti tattaotayo.” Ta adu unayen ti natay iti entero a siudad; nadagsen unay ti ima ti Dios sadiay.
They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines: and they said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return into its own place, and not kill us and our people.
12 Dagiti tattao a saan a natay ket naparigat babaen kadagiti letteg, ket dimmanon kadagiti langlangit ti asug ti siudad.
For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven.
