१ शमूएल 5

1 यति बेला पलिश्‍तीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुक कब्जा गरेका, र तिनीहरूले त्‍यो एबेन-एजेरबाट अश्दोदमा ल्याएका थिए ।

Then the Philistims tooke the Arke of God and caried it from Eben-ezer vnto Ashdod,

2 पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुक लगे, दागोनको मन्‍दिरमा त्‍यो ल्याए र दागोनको नजिकै राखे ।

Euen the Philistims tooke ye Arke of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

3 जब अश्दोदका मानिसहरू अर्को दिन बिहान सबेरै उठे, हेर, दागोन त परमप्रभुको सन्दुकको सामु घोप्टो परेर ढलेको थियो । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले दागोनलाई उठाए र त्यसलाई आफ्‍नै स्थानमा खडा गरे ।

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 तर जब तिनीहरू अर्को बिहान सबेरै उठे, हेर, दागोन परमप्रभुको सन्दुकको सामु घोप्टो परेर ढलेको थियो । दागोनको शिर र दुवै हातहरू टुक्रिएर ढोकामा अलपत्र थियो । दागोनको जिउ मात्र बाँकी रहेको थियो ।

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 यसैकारण आज पनि दागोनको भवनमा आउने दागोनका पुजारीहरू र कसैले पनि अश्दोदको दागोनको ढोकामा टेक्दैनन् ।

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 अश्दोदका मानिसहरूमाथि परमप्रभुको हात भारी भयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई विनाश पार्नुभयो, अनि अश्दोद र त्‍यसको वरिपरि क्षेत्रहरूमा गिर्खाको रूढीले प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।

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 जे भइरहेको थियो त्‍यो कुरा जब अश्दोदका मानिसहरूले थाहा पाए, तब तिनीहरूले भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुक हामीसँग रहनु हुँदैन, किनभने हामी र हाम्रो देवता दागोनको विरुद्धमा उहाँको हात भारी भएको छ ।”

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 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले बोलाउन पठाए र पलिश्तीहरूका सबै शासकहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकलाई हामीले के गर्नुपर्छ?” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकलाई गातमा नै ल्याइयोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकलाई बोकेर त्यहाँ ल्याए ।

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 तर तिनीहरूले त्यो वरिपरि ल्याएपछि, परमप्रभुको हात त्‍यो सहरको विरुद्धमा परेर ठुलो गोलमाल गोलमाल भयो । उहाँले सहरका साना र ठुला सबै मानिसहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो । अनि तिनीहरूमा गिर्खाको रूढी फैलियो ।

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 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकलाई एक्रोनमा पठाए । तर परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुक एक्रोनमा आउने बित्तिकै, एक्रोनीहरूले यसो भन्‍दै कराए, “तिनीहरूले हामी र हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई मार्नलाई इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुक हामीकहाँ ल्याएका छन् ।”

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 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले पलिश्तीहरूका सबै शासकहरूलाई बोलाए र भेला गरे । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्दुकलाई पठाइदिनुहोस्, र यो आफ्नै ठाउँतिर फर्कोस्, ताकि त्‍यसले हामी र हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई नमारोस् ।” किनकि सहरभरि भयङ्कर मृत्‍युको त्रास फैलिएको थियो । त्यहाँ परमेश्‍वरको हात धेरै भारी पर्‍यो ।

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 नमरेका मानिसहरूमा गिर्खाको रूढी आइपर्‍यो र सहरको क्रन्दन आकाशसम्‍मै पुग्यो ।

And the men that dyed not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the citie went vp to heauen.
