1 Samuele 5
1 Sima na bango kobotola Sanduku ya Nzambe, bato ya Filisitia balongolaki yango na Ebeni-Ezeri mpe bakendeki na yango na Asidodi.
Then the Philistims tooke the Arke of God and caried it from Eben-ezer vnto Ashdod,
2 Bato ya Filisitia bakotisaki Sanduku ya Nzambe kati na tempelo ya Dagoni, nzambe na bango, mpe batiaki yango pembeni ya ekeko ya Dagoni.
Euen the Philistims tooke ye Arke of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bato ya Asidodi balamukaki mpe bamonaki Dagoni, nzambe na bango, akweya na mabele, elongi etala na se, liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe. Bazwaki mpe batelemisaki Dagoni, mpe bazongisaki ye na esika na ye.
And when they of Ashdod rose the next day in the morning, beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and they tooke vp Dagon, and set him in his place againe.
4 Kasi tango balamukaki na tongo ya mokolo mosusu oyo elandaki, bamonaki lisusu Dagoni akweya na mabele, elongi etala na se, liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe, moto mpe maboko ekatana, mpe etandama na ekotelo; kaka nzoto na ye nde etikalaki.
Also they rose vp earely in the morning the next day, and beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and the head of Dagon and the two palmes of his hands were cut off vpon the thresholde: onely the stumpe of Dagon was left to him.
5 Yango wana, kino na mokolo ya lelo, banganga-nzambe ya Dagoni mpe bato mosusu oyo bakotaka na tempelo ya nzambe Dagoni, na Asidodi, banyataka zingazinga ya ekotelo te.
Therefore the Priests of Dagon, and all that come into Dagons house tread not on the thresholde of Dagon in Ashdod, vnto this day.
6 Loboko na Yawe etelemelaki bato ya Asidodi mpe ya zingazinga, ebebisaki bango mpe ekweyiselaki bango bokono ya pota ya libumu.
But the hand of the Lord was heauie vpon them of Ashdod, and destroyed them, and smote them with the emerods, both Ashdod, and the coastes thereof.
7 Tango bato ya Asidodi bamonaki makambo oyo ekomelaki bango, balobaki: — Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele esengeli lisusu te kozala awa elongo na biso, pamba te Nzambe oyo anyokoli biso mingi na nguya na Ye; anyokoli biso mpe anyokoli Dagoni, nzambe na biso.
And when the men of Ashdod sawe this, they sayd, Let not the Arke of the God of Israel abide with vs: for his hand is sore vpon vs and vpon Dagon our god.
8 Na bongo, babengaki mpe basangisaki bakambi nyonso ya bato ya Filisitia, batunaki bango: — Tosengeli kosala nini na Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele. Bazongisaki: — Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele esengeli kokende na Gati. Boye bamemaki Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele na Gati.
They sent therefore and gathered all the princes of the Philistims vnto them, and sayde, What shall we doe with the Arke of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the Arke of the God of Israel be caried about vnto Gath: and they caried the Arke of the God of Israel about.
9 Kasi sima na bango komema yango kuna, loboko na Yawe etelemelaki lisusu bato ya engumba wana, ekotisaki pasi kati na bango: Yawe akweyiselaki bato ya engumba bokono ya « mosomba, » kobanda na bilenge kino na mikolo.
And when they had caried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the citie with a very great destruction, and he smote the men of the citie both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret partes.
10 Bongo batindaki Sanduku ya Nzambe na Ekroni. Tango Sanduku ya Nzambe ekotaki na Ekroni, bato ya Ekroni bagangaki: — Bamemi Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele epai na biso mpo ete baboma biso mpe baboma bato na biso.
Therefore they sent the Arke of God to Ekron: and assoone as the Arke of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cryed out, saying, They haue brought the Arke of the God of Israel to vs to slay vs and our people.
11 Boye, babengaki mpe basangisaki bakambi nyonso ya bato ya Filisitia; balobaki na bango: — Bolongola Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele, bozongisa yango na esika na yango; noki te ekoboma biso mpe ekoboma bato na biso. Somo ya kufa ekangaki engumba mobimba, pamba te loboko na Yawe ezalaki kobebisa makasi kati na yango.
Therefore they sent, and gathered together all the princes of the Philistims and sayd, Sende away the Arke of the God of Israel, and let it returne to his owne place, that it slay vs not and our people: for there was a destruction and death throughout all the citie, and the hand of God was very sore there.
12 Bato oyo bakufaki te bazwaki bokono ya pota ya libumu, mpe koganga ya engumba emataki kino na likolo.
And the men that dyed not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the citie went vp to heauen.
