6 Ruoko rwaMwari rwakatambudza zvikuru vanhu veAshidhodhi nenzvimbo dzakaikomberedza; akauyisa kuparadzwa pamusoro pavo uye akavarova namamota.
Lwet Jehova Nyasaye nosando jo-Ashdod kod kuonde machiegni kodgi, noketo luoro kuomgi, bende nogoyogi gi tuo mar buche.
7 Vanhu veAshidhodhi pavakaona zvakanga zvichiitika vakati, “Areka yaMwari weIsraeri haifaniri kugara pano nesu nokuti ruoko rwake rwatitambudza zvikuru isu naDhagoni mwari wedu.”
Kane jo-Ashdod oneno gima ne timore, negiwacho niya, “Sandug Muma mar Nyasach jo-Israel kik bed kodwa ka, nikech lwete osesandowa kaachiel gi Dagon ma nyasachwa.”
8 Saka vakadana pamwe chete vatongi vose vavaFiristia vakavabvunza vachiti, “Toitei neareka yaMwari weIsraeri?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Itai kuti areka yaMwari weIsraeri iendeswe kuGati.” Saka vakabvisa areka yaMwari weIsraeri.
