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.
Now the Philistines had taken God’s ark, and they brought it from Ebenezer 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.
The Philistines took God’s ark, 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.
When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark. 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.
When they arose early on the following morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.
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 who come into Dagon’s house step 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.
But the LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumours, even 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.
When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on 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.
They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
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.
It was so, that after they had carried it there, the LORD’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumours broke out on 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.
So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here 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.
They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all 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.
The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumours; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
