Sie Samuel 5

1 Tukun mwet Philistia sruokya Tuptup in Wuleang elos usla liki acn Ebenezer nu Ashdod, siti selos sifacna.

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

2 Elos usak nu in tempul lun god Dagon, ac filiya sisken ma sruloala se kacl sifacna.

The Philistines took the ark of God, brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it up beside Dagon.

3 Ke mwet Ashdod elos toang tukakek in lutu tok ah, elos liye tuh ma sruloala kacl Dagon putatla oankiyuki ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD. Na elos srukak ma sruloala sac ac sifilpa folokonak nu yen se oan we ah.

When the people of Ashdod got up early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen facedown on the ground before the ark of Yahweh. So they took Dagon and set him up in his place again.

4 Toang in lutu tok ah, elos sifilpa liye tuh ma sruloala sac putatla ac oankiyuki ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang. Pacl se inge sifa ac poun ma sruloala sac kipatla ac putatla oan ke mutunoa. Manol mukena oan sisken Tuptup in Wuleang.

But when they got up early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen facedown on the ground before the ark of Yahweh. The head of Dagon and both of his hands were lying cut off in the doorway. Only the trunk of Dagon remained.

5 (Ke sripa se inge, mwet tol lal Dagon, ku kutena mwet su utyak in alu nu sel in acn Ashdod, elos ac tupalot acn sac ac tia longya ye srungul uh. Ma inge orek na nwe misenge.)

This is why, even today, the priests of Dagon and anyone who comes into Dagon's house does not step on the doorway of Dagon in Ashdod.

6 LEUM GOD El akkeokye mwet Ashdod arulana upa ac aksangengyalos. El sang kai nu selos ac oayapa mwet su muta raunelosla. El oru tuh in oasr mahlap in manolos.

Yahweh's hand was heavy upon the people of Ashdod. He destroyed them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories.

7 Ac ke mwet Ashdod elos liye ma sikyak inge, elos fahk, “God lun Israel El akkeokye kut ac god lasr Dagon. Kut tia ku in lela Tuptup in Wuleang in oan paht yorosr.”

When the men of Ashdod realized what was happening, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not stay with us, because his hand is hard against us and against Dagon our god.”

8 Ouinge elos supwalik mwet in pangoneni tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia ac siyuk selos, “Mea kut ac oru ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel?” Ac elos topuk ac fahk, “Usla nu Gath.” Na elos usla nu Gath, sie pac siti lun mwet Philistia.

So they sent for and gathered together all of the rulers of the Philistines; they said to them, “What should we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” So they carried the ark of the God of Israel there.

9 Ac tukun elos usla Tuptup sac nu Gath, LEUM GOD El kai pac siti sac ac oru tuh mwet we in arulana fohsak. El akkeokyalos ke mahlap in manolos — sikyak nu sin mwet nukewa in siti sac, mwet matu oayapa mwet fusr.

But after they brought it around, Yahweh's hand was against the city, causing a very great confusion. He afflicted the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.

10 Ke ma inge elos supwala Tuptup in Wuleang nu Ekron, sie pac siti lun mwet Philistia. Na ke pacl se sun acn se inge, mwet we elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Elos use Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel in tuh unikutla!”

So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But as soon as the ark of God came into Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought to us the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our people.”

11 Na mwet inge sifilpa supwala mwet in pangonma tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia ac fahk, “Folokunla Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel nu in acn se sifacna, tuh in tia unikutla ac sou lasr.” Mwet nukewa in siti sac arulana fohsak mweyen upana kaiyuk lun God nu selos.

So they sent for and gathered together all of the rulers of the Philistines; they said to them, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people.” For there was a deathly panic throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

12 Finne elos su tiana misa, oasr mahlap sikyak in manolos ac elos pang nu sin god lalos ac kwafe tuh elos in kasrelos.

The men who did not die were afflicted with the tumors, and the cry of the city went up to the heavens.
