Pirmā Samuela 5
1 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda no Eben-Ecera uz Ašdodu.
Now the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, took it with them from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
2 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda Dagona namā un nolika Dagonam blakām.
They took the ark of God into the house of Dagon and put it by the side of Dagon.
3 Bet kad Ašdodas ļaudis otrā rītā agri cēlās, redzi, tad Dagons uz savu vaigu bija zemē nokritis Tā Kunga šķirsta priekšā, un tie ņēma Dagonu un to atkal uzcēla savā vietā.
And when the people of Ashdod got up early on the morning after, they saw that Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon up and put him in his place again.
4 Kad tie nu otrā rītā atkal agri cēlās, redzi, tad Dagons uz savu vaigu bija zemē nokritis Tā Kunga šķirsta priekšā, un Dagona galva un viņa abas rokas bija nolūzušas un gulēja uz sliekšņa, ka tas zivju tēls vien pie tā atlikās.
And when they got up early on the morning after, Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord; and his head and his hands were broken off on the doorstep; only the base was in its place.
5 Tādēļ Dagona priesteri un visi, kas iet Dagona namā, nemin uz Dagona slieksni Ašdodā līdz šai dienai.
So to this day no priest of Dagon, or any who come into Dagon's house, will put his foot on the doorstep of the house of Dagon in Ashdod.
6 Un Tā Kunga roka bija grūta pār Ašdodas ļaudīm un Viņš tos postīja un sita ar augoņiem, Ašdodu un viņas robežas.
But the hand of the Lord was hard on the people of Ashdod and he sent disease on them through all the country of Ashdod.
7 Kad nu Ašdodas vīri redzēja, ka tas tā notika, tad tie sacīja: lai Israēla Dieva šķirsts pie mums nepaliek; jo Viņa roka ir grūta pār mums un pār mūsu dievu Dagonu.
And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, Let not the ark of the God of Israel be with us, for his hand is hard on us and on Dagon our god.
8 Tāpēc tie sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Fīlistu lielkungus un sacīja: ko darīsim ar Israēla Dieva šķirstu? Tad tie sacīja: lai Israēla Dieva šķirsts top nests uz Gatu. Tā tie aiznesa Israēla Dieva šķirstu.
So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.
9 Kad tie nu viņu bija aiznesuši, tad Tā Kunga roka pār to pilsētu nāca ar varen lielu iztrūcināšanu, jo Viņš sita tās pilsētas ļaudis, gan mazus gan lielus, un pie tiem izcēlās augoņi.
But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.
10 Tad tie Dieva šķirstu sūtīja uz Ekronu, un notikās, kad Dieva šķirsts uz Ekronu nāca, tad Ekrona brēca un sacīja: tie Israēla Dieva šķirstu pie manis atveduši, mani un manus ļaudis nokaut.
So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of the town made an outcry, saying, They have sent the ark of the God of Israel to us for the destruction of us and of our people.
11 Un tie sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Fīlistu lielkungus un sacīja: sūtat Israēla Dieva šķirstu projām, lai tas tiek atpakaļ savā vietā un nenokauj mani un manus ļaudis. Jo nāves bailes bija ikkatrā pilsētā, un Dieva roka tur bija ļoti grūta.
So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.
12 Un tie ļaudis, kas nenomira, tapa sisti ar augoņiem, tā ka tās pilsētas kliegšana cēlās pret debesīm.
And those men who were not overtaken by death were cruelly diseased: and the cry of the town went up to heaven.
