1 Samuelova 5

1 A Filisteji uzeše kovèeg Božji, i odnesoše iz Even-Ezera u Azot.

Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.

2 I uzevši Filisteji kovèeg Božji unesoše ga u dom Dagonov, i namjestiše ga do Dagona.

And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

3 A sjutradan kad ustaše Azoæani rano, a to Dagon ležaše nièice na zemlji pred kovèegom Gospodnjim; i oni uzeše Dagona i metnuše ga opet na njegovo mjesto.

And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

4 A kad sjutradan rano ustaše, gle, opet Dagon ležaše nièice na zemlji pred kovèegom Gospodnjim, a glava Dagonu i obje ruke otsjeèene bijahu na pragu; samo trup od Dagona bješe ostao.

And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [lay] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.

5 Zato sveštenici Dagonovi i koji god ulaze u dom Dagonov ne staju na prag Dagonov u Azotu do danas.

Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, unto this day.

6 Tada oteža ruka Gospodnja Azoæanima, i moraše ih i udaraše ih šuljevima u Azotu i meðama njegovijem.

But the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with tumors, even Ashdod and the borders thereof.

7 A kad Azoæani vidješe šta je, rekoše: da ne stoji kod nas kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva; jer je ruka njegova teška nad nama i nad Dagonom bogom našim.

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 sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

8 I poslaše, te sabraše k sebi sve knezove Filistejske, i rekoše im: što æemo èiniti s kovèegom Boga Izrailjeva? A oni rekoše: da se prenese u Gat kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva. I prenesoše kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva.

They sent therefore 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 answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel [thither].

9 A kad ga prenesoše, bi ruka Gospodnja na gradu s mukom vrlo velikom, i stade biti graðane od maloga do velikoga, i doðoše na njih tajni šuljevi.

And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great discomfiture: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors brake out upon them.

10 Zato poslaše kovèeg Božji u Akaron; a kad doðe kovèeg Božji u Akaron, povikaše Akaronjani govoreæi: donesoše k nama kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva da pomori nas i naš narod.

So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as 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 slay us and our people.

11 Zato poslaše, te sabraše sve knezove Filistejske, i rekoše: pošljite kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva neka se vrati na svoje mjesto, da ne pomori nas i naroda našega. Jer bijaše smrtan strah po cijelom gradu, i vrlo teška bijaše ruka Gospodnja ondje.

They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people. For there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

12 Jer ljudi koji ostajahu živi bolovahu od šuljeva tako da se vika u gradu podizaše do neba.

And the men that died not were smitten with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
