Pirmā Samuela 5
1 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda no Eben-Ecera uz Ašdodu.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus.
2 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda Dagona namā un nolika Dagonam blakām.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by 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 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 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 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 Tādēļ Dagona priesteri un visi, kas iet Dagona namā, nemin uz Dagona slieksni Ašdodā līdz šai dienai.
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 Un Tā Kunga roka bija grūta pār Ašdodas ļaudīm un Viņš tos postīja un sita ar augoņiem, Ašdodu un viņas robežas.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Un tie ļaudis, kas nenomira, tapa sisti ar augoņiem, tā ka tās pilsētas kliegšana cēlās pret debesīm.
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.
