Pirmā Samuela 5
1 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda no Eben-Ecera uz Ašdodu.
Now the Philistines had captured the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda Dagona namā un nolika Dagonam blakām.
The Philistines took the ark of God, brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it up beside 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.
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 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.
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 Tādēļ Dagona priesteri un visi, kas iet Dagona namā, nemin uz Dagona slieksni Ašdodā līdz šai dienai.
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 Un Tā Kunga roka bija grūta pār Ašdodas ļaudīm un Viņš tos postīja un sita ar augoņiem, Ašdodu un viņas robežas.
Yahweh's hand was heavy upon the people of Ashdod. He destroyed them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 Un tie ļaudis, kas nenomira, tapa sisti ar augoņiem, tā ka tās pilsētas kliegšana cēlās pret debesīm.
The men who did not die were afflicted with the tumors, and the cry of the city went up to the heavens.
