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.
And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to 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.
and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near 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 the Ashdodites rise early on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah; and they take Dagon, and put it back to its place.
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.
And they rise early in the morning on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah, and the head of Dagon, and the two palms of its hands are cut off at the threshold, only the fishy part hath been 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 those coming into the house of Dagon, tread not on the threshold of Dagon, in Ashdod, till this day.
6 Loboko na Yawe etelemelaki bato ya Asidodi mpe ya zingazinga, ebebisaki bango mpe ekweyiselaki bango bokono ya pota ya libumu.
And the hand of Jehovah is heavy on the Ashdodites, and He maketh them desolate, and smiteth them with emerods, Ashdod and its borders.
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 the men of Ashdod see that [it is] so, and have said, 'The ark of the God of Israel doth not abide with us, for hard hath been His hand upon us, and upon 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.
And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines unto them, and say, 'What do we do to the ark of the God of Israel?' and they say, 'To Gath let the ark of the God of Israel be brought round;' and they bring round the ark of the God of Israel;
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 it cometh to pass after they have brought it round, that the hand of Jehovah is against the city — a very great destruction; and He smiteth the men of the city, from small even unto great; and break forth on them do emerods.
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.
And they send the ark of God to Ekron, and it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of God to Ekron, that the Ekronites cry out, saying, 'They have brought round unto us the ark of the God of Israel, to put us to death — 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.
And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines, and say, 'Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and it turneth back to its place, and it doth not put us to death — and our people;' for there hath been a deadly destruction throughout all the city, very heavy hath the hand of God been there,
12 Bato oyo bakufaki te bazwaki bokono ya pota ya libumu, mpe koganga ya engumba emataki kino na likolo.
and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.
