< 1 Samoela 5 >

1 Aa ie tinava’ o nte-Pilistio i vatan’ Añaharey, le nente’ iareo boak’ Ebene-ha’ ezere mb’e Asdode mb’eo.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
2 Rinambe’ o nte-Pilistio i vatan’Añaharey le nazili’ iareo añ’anjomba’ i Dagone ao vaho napo’ iareo marine’ i Dagone eo.
And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Ie nitroatse maraindraiñe o nte-Asdodeo, hehe te nideroñe an-tarehe’e an-tane añatrefa’ i vata’ Iehovày t’i Dagone. Rinambe’ iareo t’i Dagone vaho natroa’ iareo an-toe’e indraike.
And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 Ie nañampitso, hehe te nihotrak’ an-tarehe’e an-tane añatrefa’ i vata’ Iehovày t’i Dagone vaho nikitsik’ ama’e ty loha’ i Dagone naho ty taña’e roe an-tokonañe eo; ty vata’ i Dagone avao ty nisisa.
And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him.
5 Aa le tsy lia’ o mpisoro’ i Dagone mimoak’ añ’anjomba’ i Dagone ao ty tokona’ i Dagone e Asdode ao ampara henane.
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 Navesatse amo nte-Asdodeo ty fità’ Iehovà, ie binaibai’e, naho linafa’e am-pibokalìtan’ akobo ty Asdode naho o mañohok’ azeo.
And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, — Ashdod and its borders.
7 Aa naho nitendrek’ amo nte-Asdodeo i rahay, le hoe iereo, Tsy himoneñe aman-tikañe atoy ka i vatam-pañinan’ Añahare’ Israeley, amy te maràñe aman-tika naho amy Dagone ‘ndraharen-tika ty fità’e.
And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 Aa le nañitrike naho natontoñe iaby o roandria’ o nte-Pilistio vaho nanao ty hoe: Hanoen-tika ino i vatam-pañinan’ Añahare’ Israeley? le hoe ty natoi’ iareo, Ampitarazoeñe mb’e Gate mb’eo i vatam-pañinan’ Añahare’ Israeley. Aa le nendese’ iareo mb’eo i vatam-pañinan’ Añahare’ Israeley.
And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].
9 Ie amy zao, naho fa nitarazoeñe mb’eo, le nanilofe’ ty fità’ Iehovà i rovay, nampangebahebahe’e naho linafa’e ondati’ i rovaio, ty bey naho ty kede iaby vaho niborak’ am-pimeñara’ iareo ao o fibokaliran’ akoboo.
And it came to pass that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with very great panic; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and hemorrhoids broke out upon them.
10 Aa le nahitri’ iereo mb’e Ekrone mb’eo i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey. Aa ie nivo­trake Ekrone eo i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey, le nikoaike ty hoe o nte-Ekroneo: Nen­dese’ iareo mb’etoa i vatam-pañinan’ Añahare’ Israeley, hanjamana’e antika naho ondatin-tikañeo.
And they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, when the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.
11 Nampañitrife’ iareo amy zao o hene’ talèn-te-Pilistio, le nanao ty hoe, Iraho añe i vatam-pañinan’ Añahare’ Israeley, vaho angao himpolia’e mb’an-toe’e mb’eo, tsy mone hanjevoñ’ antika naho ondatin-tikañeo; amy te fañohofan-doza ty nandrambañe i rovay; fa navesatse ama’e ty fitàn’ Añahare.
And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it kill us not, and our people. For there was deadly alarm throughout the city: the hand of God was very heavy there;
12 Nanilofeñe fibokalirañe nitsovovòke ondaty tsy nihomakeo; vaho nionjomb’ an-dikeram-b’eo ty fitoreova’ i rovay.
and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
