Первая книга Царств 5
1 И взяша иноплеменницы кивот Божий и изнесоша его от Авенезера во Азот:
Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 и взяша иноплеменницы кивот Господень и внесоша его в храм Дагонов, и поставиша его близ Дагона.
The Philistines took it, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 И обутреневаша Азотяне наутрие и внидоша в храм Дагонов: и увидеша, и се, Дагон паде на землю на лице свое пред кивотом Божиим. И воздвигоша Дагона, и поставиша его на месте своем.
And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of YHWH. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.
4 И бысть егда восташа заутра, и се, Дагон лежаше лицем на земли пред кивотом завета Господня: глава же Дагонова и обе плесне ног его отяты на празе особо каяждо, и обе длани рук его лежаще при дверех, точию труп Дагонов остася.
And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of YHWH; 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 Того ради не вступают жерцы Дагоновы и вси входящии в храм Дагонов на праг дому Дагонова во Азоте даже до дне сего: яко преступающе преступают.
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 И отяготе рука Господня на Азоте, и наведе на них, и воскипе им на седалищах их, во Азоте и в пределех Его, и посреде страны его умножишася мышы: и бысть смущение смерти велико во граде.
But the hand of YHWH was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death in the city.
7 И видеша мужие Азотстии, яко тако (бысть), и глаголаша: яко не пребудет кивот Бога Израилева с нами, яко жестока рука Его на ны и на Дагона бога нашего.
When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of God shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on Dagon our god."
8 И пославше собраша воевод иноплеменничих к себе и глаголаша: что сотворим кивоту Бога Израилева? И реша Гефее: да прейдет кивот Бога Израилева к нам в Геф. И прейде кивот Бога Израилева в Геф.
So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of God?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of God be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.
9 И бысть по прешествии его, и бысть рука Господня на граде, мятеж велий зело: и порази мужы града от мала до велика, и порази их на седалищах их. И сотвориша Гефее себе седалища (злата),
And it came about that after they had brought it around, the hand of YHWH was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.
10 и отпустиша кивот Божий во Аскалон. И бысть егда вниде кивот Бога Израилева во Аскалон, и возопиша Аскалонитяне глаголюще: почто возвратисте кивот Бога Израилева к нам, уморити ны и люди нашя?
So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "Why have you brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?"
11 И послаша и собраша вся воеводы иноплеменничи и реша: отпустите кивот Бога Израилева, и да поставится на месте своем, и да не уморит нас и людий наших. Яко бысть мятеж смерти во всем граде тяжек зело, егда вниде кивот Бога Израилева тамо.
And they sent 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, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a panic throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.
12 И живущии и не умершии уязвишася на седалищах, и взыде вопль града до небесе.
The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
